Ya' know, the really fun part of watching '80's rock videos is looking for the one band member that enjoys the hair spray, make up, and women's clothing a little too much.

The '80's were a weird time for rock.
Coming out of the horribleness that was '70's soft rock and disco, many rock bands started going for a heavier, more in your face sorta sound.  They also had to find a new way to shock and entertain and just generally be outrageous.  Hence the crazy outfits and the wacky hair.  But because of the competitiveness of the music world and because of that new fangled Music Television, the weirdness kept getting raised higher and higher, as did sales of Aquanet.

Here for your listening and viewing pleasure, I take you back to the early days of 1980's LA glam rock music scene for a little group known as Ratt.

Enjoy.

Interesting side note on Ratt:  Tawny Kitaen, high school sweetheart of guitar player Robin Crosby, who'd graced the cover of the band's EP from the previous year, agreed to appear on the cover of their debut full-length album. She also appeared in their video for "Back For More" as the girl in the 1950s skirt at the jukebox.
