Stephen Pearcy on RATT’s Round and Round – The 80s Rock Hit That Deserved #1

In the 80s Def Leppard, AC DC, Bon Jovi, Poison, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, and Whitesnake ruled rock radio. But we have lead singer Stephen Pearcy in our midst today whose band RATT was right there with them, selling 5 million albums out of nowhere! Fueled by a true classic Round and Round due to a renaissance in pop culture might be more popular now than it was in its heyday. Next Stephen tells us where the song came from and how he and his guitarist threw live rodents at an 80s model for an album cover shoot during that time. And he talked his teen guitarist into quitting college to play with his band. Payola kept them out of the #1 spot there is no question about that. Find out how next on Professor of Rock.
