RATT 12/27/08 HOB Anaheim

[FloydRose4Prez]

Just got back. Excellent show. I don't remember the set list but they closed with "Round and Round". Warren's axes for the show consisted of:
1. a black Charvel with a graphic around the body and horns (it was a BEAUTY)
2. a non-Fender telecaster with single coils in neck & bridge, similar looking to Springsteen's Tele.
3. The snakeskin for "Lay It Down" and a few others (might have had a D-Tuna attached).
4. The black Charvel with the blood drops and white skull.

Carlos played an off-white Gibson V for standard tuning and a black V for Drop D ("Lay It Down").

Stephen's voice sounded great and Bobby's drums were good as well. Robbie's bass was buried -- couldn't really make it out. Warren and Carlos's guitars sounded good but could have been brought up a bit when they solo'd. Overall, it was mixed solidly save for the items I mentioned. They put on a good show. Go see 'em.

[thenine]

could you make out what amps they were using?

[Rupe]

Did Carlos just solo on the same tunes that Robbin did? Which ones did they do? How did he gel with the band?

[FloydRose4Prez]

Carlos and Warren both used 3 Marshall stacks, no heads. They had a relic look to them like they were 30 years old. Carlos did the solo on the opening song and a few others (don't remember, sorry). They did a little blues medley at the end of "Way Cool Jr". When Stephen introduced him, the crowd gave an extra enthusiastic response -- everyone already knew who he was. Carlos is a great addition to the band. Dig those Gibson Vs, too.

Thanks, dude! We love this kind of equipment-groupie-thing!!!! Good work!!! Well done!!! RATT forever!!!! Have you seen the youtubeclip with Warren and Mr Schenker (from 1991) ? Gee, I love Michael from Sarstedt but on this one our Warren just blows Mr Schenker away. DeMartini just burns and it´s sooo bad!! Great stuff!

Last time I saw Carlos in Quiet Riot he was playing a custom shop Soloist Green Ghost Flames with flame inlays. This was around 2002. He should stick to the Jacksons!

I saw Ratt two nights ago and warren played the Black San dimas with the frenchie graphic and his snakeskin performance. No blood drips.

I saw him last year and he was using that same guitar. Hopefully it gets back into the rotation.

[Robert Burns]

At least the bass didnt overwhelm everyone.. usually that is the case,
where the bass is way too loud. Thanks for the update!

Didn't he play a pink PRS too? Or is that a different QR guitarist?:think:

Our band is going to open a show with RATT this June. Can't wait.

Here is a recent picture of Warren and Stephen together, very cool!

Don't you mean "way cool!" Ha-ha. I love that Snakeskin Jackson.

Way Cool indeed.
