HARD RATT

For the last 18 years, people like Dennis Hunt have been telling us hard rock/heavy metal is just a passing fad (“Ratt ‘n’ Roll’s Rock Roller Coaster Ride,” Nov. 23). Yet bands like Kiss, Deep Purple, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin and now Ratt, Motley Crue and Bon Jovi are proving that one-on-one relationships with fans and longevity is more important than selling 5 million records.

Now maybe critics and other doubtfuls will just go away and realize their opinions of us are taken with a grain of salt.

Ratt ‘n’ Roll is a way of life.
