Crank the volume for the ultimate celebration of 1980s sunset strip glory. This edition of Saturday Night Metal features a roaring 2-hour curated program centered around a full album playback of Ratt’s multi-platinum 1984 debut masterpiece, Out of the Cellar, delivered in blistering high-fidelity.
Before we drop the needle on the full record, the evening kicks off with a curated deep dive into the sleazy, high-energy heavy metal scene that redefined the decade. We'll explore the band's meteoric rise and the fierce Hollywood club circuit that birthed them. Our reference-grade stereo system is perfectly engineered to handle the massive, razor-sharp production of legendary producer Beau Hill, giving the music a massive, arena-sized punch right inside our listening room.
When the full album playback begins, you will experience the absolute apex of pop-metal guitar wizardry. The fiery, interlocking leads of Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby will cut through the room with stunning clarity, backed by the driving bass grooves of Juan Croucier and Stephen Pearcy’s unmistakable, raspy vocal swagger on anthems like "Round and Round" and "Wanted Man." Grab a cold beverage, sink into a seat, and let this absolute juggernaut of analog metal completely take over your Saturday night.

Before we drop the needle on the full album, we’ll spin a curated set of tracks that paved the way for the Alice Cooper group’s rise to infamy. We’ll explore the band's transition from psychedelic outliers to the kings of the teenage wasteland. School's Out is more than just its iconic title track; it’s a sophisticated concept album blending hard rock with West Side Story-style theatrics and street-tough bravado.
Listening on our high-end system brings the incredible production by Bob Ezrin to life, from the biting twin-guitar attack of Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce to the gritty, snarling vocals of Alice himself. The high-fidelity experience captures the brass sections and orchestral flourishes that made this record a revolutionary step for heavy music. Throw your desks out the window and get ready for the ultimate rock and roll rebellion.
