Celebrated rock pioneers RATT and EXTREME have teamed up to bring you this summer's most rockin' tour lineup. The tour, which will feature sets from both bands with RATT closing, kicks off on July 12 in Amarillo, Texas and runs through August 7 in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. It will cross the U.S. and cover 16 markets, with more to be announced soon. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut "Out Of The Cellar", RATT will be playing the album in its entirety.
Both bands are excited about the double bill. "Warren DeMartini and Nuno Bettencourt on same stage, same night?? 'Nuff said, we'll see you there!" says RATT's Bobby Blotzer. EXTREME's Nuno Bettencourt concurs, "One hot summer night. Two bands fully loaded with musicianship. Mix in one part memorable songwriting. Add nine ounces of passionate performers. Throw in three well-respected guitarists. Add a touch of West Coast raunch and a hint of East Coast funk. And you get yourself a recipe for one night of unforgettable rock and roll."

Right. There are no better bands from the 80's than Ratt and Extreme. I want what you are smoking.
The fact that Ratt is playing OOTC live is pretty cool. I'd love to see Scene Of The Crime or She Wants Money live. However, I don't know if I'll make the trip from Madison to Chicago for this one. Maybe.

I just saw these two bands at the M3 Metal festival in DC/Baltimore. They were both excellent and sound great! Extreme really impressed me and Stephen Pearcy was in top form. Go see these guys if you can!

Big fan. Saw Extreme last year and they were very good. Nuno is sill amazing. But, saw Ratt about 2 years ago and Stephen Pearcy can NOT sing at all.
