Ratt | The Station | Orlando, FL | August 25,2000 |

 

(W/Warrant & Bar 7)

I don't know what to say about the Ratt weekend I just had.... 

Awesome to say the least... I guess I could do a diary like I did for Ozzfest.. and just hope I don't bore you all to death! First night was in Orlando.. at the Station... got there in the evening.. found John.. 

and spent the rest of the evening hanging out with him.. He sat in the Jeep with us as I showed him my huge photo album.. with nothing but him in it from all the bands he's been in. .

it was so cool to hear stories about all the different photos shoots.. etc..... 

anyway.. the fans started lining up for the show... and it started pouring rain! it was crazy!

The first band on was Bar 7 ..but by then we were on the Ratt tour bus.. hangin w/the rest of the band.. 

Robbie was there.. getting ready for the show... and Bobby was warming up on a practice drum pad...

John was picking out his outfit for the night.. Also got to meet Jizzy..  which I warned him Ratt was my favorite band.. and if he didn't sound good I was going to throw things at him.

..lol... (just kidding of coarse) Jizzy was a really down to earth cool guy.. nothing like the first time I met him... (not that he was a jerk.. just didn't say anything.. just walked away..lol) Anyway.. now Warrant was going on.. and here we still were hanging on the bus.... but I didn't want to miss this.. so we stayed till Ratt went on..  But I did see Jani Lane hanging outside the Warrant bus.. pacing before the show.. so I went up and talked to him...he was very cool too...

But I couldn't wait to see Ratt!.. here's some shots from on the bus.......
