This heavy metal group formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, and featured Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Robbin Crosby (guitar), Warren DeMartini (guitar), Juan Croucier (bass) and Bobby 'The Blotz' Blotzer (drums). They evolved out of '70s band Mickey Ratt, transmuting into their present form in 1983, with a hint of pop about their brand of metal similar to Cheap Trick or Aerosmith. They released a self-titled mini-album in 1983 on a local label, and struck up a close personal friendship with members of Mötley Crüe which no doubt helped them to sign to Atlantic the following year. They made their breakthrough with their first full album, OUT OF THE CELLAR, which stayed in the Billboard Top 20 for six months. They toured with Ozzy Osbourne before joining a Billy Squier jaunt where they were apparently 'thrown off' because they were more popular than the headline act.

Steel River Lyrics
Ratt
Ain't gonna hesitate
The way we'd like to see you are and feel the way
Hear that song and sing all day and make it pay
The people want to jump and say make our way
You sounded like you came from mars
Times are changing and I'll take my chance on a steel river
Rearranging all the faces and the places I've seen
I like the way
The way your eyes they seem to say take me away
And would ya know it's not the same
So would ya please me
Think back the trade it's you for free you'd stop the day
This one ratt is on to say
Times are changing and I'll take my chance on a steel river
Rearranging all the faces and the places I've seen
Times are changing and I'll take my chance
On a steel river
Yeah
A railbreak
The way we'd like to see G.R.
And hear the way
You sounded like a man from mars
Times are changing and I'll take my chance on a steel river
Rearranging all the faces and the places I've seen
Times are changing and I'll take my chance
On a steel river
Steel river
On a steel river
On a steel river
On a steel river
Yeah
