Disturber Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 No Warren, no Ratt. That is a damn after ski cover band with Pearcy on vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I agree. Blotzer and Croucier are there, but DeMartini was the one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That drummer would probaby be Jimmy DeGrasso or Pete Holmes. Only original members left are Pearcy and Crucier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Warren is happy not to have participated in this embarrassing level of fall-from-grace while Robbin continues to lathe-spin in his grave It could be worse: Or this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 It was a funny vid...but I did dig me some Ratt BITD... I wasn’t into a whole lot of hair metal, but Ratt was one that tripped my trigger with their first two albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Bands in commercials have been around for a while. 38 Special was doing quite well with a string of radio hits when they made this. Here is my favorite commercial with a band in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princeofdarkness56 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I expect a lot more bands will be looking to do commercials. It’s not like any of them will be hitting the road anytime soon. A gig is a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Alice Cooper has done a lot of commercials. Here is one of them. Cheap Trick had a hand in this one. Cheap Trick did a Pepsi radio commercial years ago. KISS was selling Pepsi at one time, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I thought Alice Cooper absolutely killed it with the Jesus Christ Superstar role as Pontius Pilate. I truly hope that the last bit, him mincing around to the audience was spur of the moment improvisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeofdarkness56 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If remember right, Alice did a commercial for Marriott or Holiday Inn a few years back that was very tongue in cheek. Along the lines of use to trash hotel rooms to doing commercials for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadroller Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Well, I was 19 at the time, so it was awesome. Poison was “on the way up” at the time, so worked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
