Hint: The singer of this band drove a cement truck before their 1986 debut album went multi platinum. They garnered critical acclaim for their musical prowess and no nonsense brand of rock n roll. In an age of hair metal, this band had a no frills presence. No hair spray or fog machines. They were simply blue jeans and t-shirts, guitars and amps.
Bonus Hint: This will totally give it away, but I left the singer's voice in the end of the clip because the verse brings back memories, like when I watched them play live while floating on a raft at Big Surf. Yep, they don't make 'em like that anymore. That show was flippin' sweet! |

And I know it's true
I got a bad attitude
But I'm down on my luck
*** tell me what's your excuse
Power chords are my drug of choice. Yiieee!
Useless Trivia: For some reason hearing this band always reminds me of my friend Rob. Maybe that is because when we were in in college he had just begun playing guitar -- and he had a hard time putting it down. We would go over to pick up Rob on Friday night and he would be playing a song from Ratt or Dokken...or maybe this band.
Us: Are you ready Rob?
Rob: Ya...wait -- check this out! (insert solo here).
Us: Nice. Uh dude we're leaving.
Rob: 
Us: We're starting the car...
