Gladiators And Dancers, Too!
Contrary to popular opinion, the center of Hollywood is not exactly a glamorous place. “Sleazy” is the operative word here. Really scummy. And on a corner even hookers avoid after midnight, one will find the building that houses the pride of hard rock L.A.—Ratt Central.
Gladiators And Dancers, Too!

Contrary to popular opinion, the center of Hollywood is not exactly a glamorous place. “Sleazy” is the operative word here. Really scummy. And on a corner even hookers avoid after midnight, one will find the building that houses the pride of hard rock L.A.—Ratt Central. The official base for Ratt: vocalist Stephen Pearcy, guitarist Robbin Crosby, bassist Juan Croucier, guitarist Warren DeMartini and drummer Bobby Blotzer. The place looks like a home for rodents, and not only those of the two-legged variety.
But on the upper floors, under the shadow (on smogless days) of the Hollywood sign, Ratt headquarters is a busy place. Assistants are scurrying around, trying to answer fan mail, set up video locations and more or less prepare the world for yet another attack from the killer rodents.
