Morning Cup o’ Metal

Good morning whores! If my name was Mr. Peabody, I’d have asked my boy Sherman to set the way back machine to the magical year 1984 when Ratt was actually considered metal. That’s right, today I was thinking that I’d love to share with you all my love for glam-metal and it doesn’t get much worse/awesome than Ratt.

The song above “Round and Round” was probably the only hit the band ever had besides “Wanted Man”, which I’m sure some of you will remember is on the Weird Science soundtrack. Both tracks were off of the band’s first and most successful album to date Out of the Cellar, which featured Tawny Kitaen (yeah Whitesnake!) on the cover of the album…funny fact, besides being on Celebrity Rehab, Tawny was just arrested for a daytime DUI.

Anyways, enjoy this little slice of butt-rock heaven. You’ll never know when the next piece will float your way. Oh, and keep an eye open for Milton Berle playing two of the characters in the video above (one’s in drag…hint hint).

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
