Ratt recently made a triumphant return to the Sunset Strip to celebrate the release of their newest album. 25 years after starting out in the same place the boy from Ratt are back in a BIG way. Their new album Infestation hit stores on April 20th and brings back the glory of sleaze without being so stuck in the old sound that it comes off as dated. They’ve released a NEW rock record both worthy of the Ratt legacy and as a way to, LOUDLY, introduce themselves to a whole new audience in 2010.

Below is the footage from episode of 1 of the CD release party (h/t Roadrunner Records):

Go here to get your copy of Infestation. Trust me, it RAWKS!

The a/v quality is crap. But that didn’t stop me from watching it and it surely won’t stop me from posting it here. This is like a metalhead’s wet dream. Mike Patton. Jason Newsted (if you have to ask then you probably won’t get it) both with Sepultura!

Here’s more Patton/Sepultura goodness:

The 14 year old version of myself is losing his mind right now. Man I wish I had the internet when I was younger! Look at all the stuff I was missing out on!!!

Chuck Mosley and Mike Patton doing “Introduce Yourself”. Mind.AS.PLODO!

I tell ya, the kid is everywhere these days! He’s blowing up! Sooo crazy to me that he’s about to graduate. I can still remember when we was “little” kid in the shows.   If you want to know more about the Boy Wonder I keep posting about, check out his interview over at BMXUnion: http://www.bmxunion.com/blog/interview/devon-smillie-interview/

If you haven’t heard of Devon, there’s a good chance you don’t really ride that much, or you are too busy actually riding. In the last probably two months he has had this explosion of web videos that seemed like he had come out every other day. The talent Devon holds got my attention and I started getting more and more curious what this guy was all about. I figured I’d see if he would be into an interview, and he came through.

Now I want to find out if I can convince BnB to do a show so I can announce it before Devon is too busy winning Dew Tour stops!
