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.

Tug Of War Lyrics
Ratt
When I'm alone and filled with promise
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
I don't believe that silence is golden
I don't want to stray
Sometimes daylight drives me crazy
When you believe in the one and all
Some black masks roll out their feelings
I don't want to stray
If it's something I might have said
Life is a tug of war
Slap in the face
Life is a tug of war
All over the place
Life is a tug of war
Let's cut to the chase
Every night I dream
Soon you'll think love really happens
Now you got me up against a wall
Something went wrong
And I feel like crawlin back into your arms again
Show your faith I'm your friend
Life is a tug of war
A slap in the face
Life is a tug of war
A total disgrace
Life is a tug of war
Let's cut to the chase
Life is a tug of war
Sorrow and pain
Life is a tug of war
I can't explain
Life is a tug of war
All over the place
Life is a tug of war
A total disgrace
Every night I dream
So give it all you got
And give it your best shot
If something's wrong then make it right
solo
Life is a tug of war
A slap in the face
Life is a tug of war
A total disgrace
Life is a tug of war
Let's cut to the chase
Life is a tug of war
Sorrow and pain
Life is a tug of war
I can't explain
Life is a tug of war
All over the place
Life is a tug of war
A total disgrace
Life is a tug of war
Sorrow and pain (fade out
