In the mid-1980s, RATT, alongside MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, and QUIET RIOT, were laying down the riffs and unleashing the scissor kicks that would herald the arrival of musics most flamboyantly debauched era. Now with Sex, Drugs, Ratt & Roll, RATT frontman and chief rabble-rouserStephen Pearcy divulges all the dirty details of the era when big-haired bands ruled the world.

Stephen was primed for a life of excess from an early age - his father died of a heroin overdose when he was twelve, and by the age of fifteen, Stephen was himself a drug addict. When Stephen met the thrill-seeking Robbin Crosby, he knew hed found his perfect partner in crime - both in music and partying.
