Heavy metal

Ratt is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Dokken, Quiet Riot, Van Halen, Aerosmith and Judas Priest. Those roots explain a lot about how Ratt arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Great White, Poison, Tesla, Quiet Riot and Def Leppard, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bowling for Soup, Slaughter, Warrant, Armored Saint and Warrior, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around Ratt, reaching back through Dokken and forward to Bowling for Soup.
