Umlando wokuvela kweqembu le-Ratt
U-Stephen Pearcy odabuka eSan Diego uthathe isinyathelo sokuqala sokwakha iqembu. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-70s, wahlanganisa iqembu elincane elibizwa ngokuthi uMickey Ratt. Njengoba selineminyaka nje likhona, iqembu alikwazanga ukusebenza ndawonye. Bonke abaculi beqembu bashiya uStefanu futhi banquma ukuhlela enye iphrojekthi yokudala - "Rough Cutt".
Ukugoqeka kokuqanjwa kwasekuqaleni akuzange kumise amagalelo omculi. Ngo-1982, umholi weqembu wayesehlanganise uhlu oludumile.
Ithimba lokuqala lalihlanganisa:
- UStephen Pearcy - amazwi
- UJuan Croucier - isiginci sebhesi
- Robbin Crosby - isigingci, umbhali wengoma
- UJustin DeMartini - isiginci esiholayo
- Bobby Blotzer - izigubhu
I-albhamu yedemo yesilingo yohlu lwakudala ibe nempendulo emangalisayo evela kubalaleli. Ngenxa yengoma ephambili ethi "You Think You're Tough", abaculi baqashelwe isitudiyo esikhulu sokuqopha. Ithalente leqembu lathakaselwa ngabamele i-Atlantic Record. Futhi kakade ngaphansi kobuholi babo, iqembu laqala ukuqopha hits ezalandela.
Isitayela sokusebenza seqembu le-Rhett
Isitayela esisha, esishukumisayo nesinomculo "sensimbi esindayo" sathandana nentsha engavamile yangaleso sikhathi. Kwakungu-Ratt owasakaza lolu hlobo lomculo oluqhubekayo phakathi kwabalaleli emhlabeni jikelele. Intsha yasithanda isithunzi salaba baculi abangenanhlonipho.
Amadoda anezinwele ezinde ezigqamayo kanye ne-eyeliner ekhanyayo enze samuntu ukonakala okwaheha abalaleli ngeminyaka yawo-80s. Izingxenye zabashayi besiginci ezidlalwa ngokuvumelana, ukunkenteza kwezigubhu kanye namazwi ahoshozayo omculi oyedwa kufakwe kahle ezingomeni zeqembu. Okubizwa ngokuthi "insimbi enoboya" kusahlotshaniswa nabalandeli be-rock namalungu anamandla eqembu le-Ratt.
Ukunyuka komsebenzi kaRatt
I-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu ethi Out Of The Cellar, eyakhululwa ngo-1984, yathengisa amakhophi ayizigidi ezintathu e-United States. Ingoma eshisa kakhulu ka-Ratt iyodwa ethi "Round and Round". Ifinyelele inombolo ye-12 kumashadi e-Billboard. Ividiyo yengoma igxilile kuzo zonke iziteshi zomculo ze-TV. I-MTV yabe isisakaza cishe njalo ngehora.
I-disc yesibili ka-1985 ethi "Invasion Of Your Privacy" nayo yangena esiqongweni sikazwelonke futhi yathola isihloko esithi "multi-platinum".
Iqoqo libe yintandokazi ngenxa yezingoma:
- "Yibeke Phansi";
- "Usothandweni";
- Lokho Okunikezayo Yilokho Okutholayo.
Ekuphakameni kodumo lwabo, ibhendi yaqala uhambo olude oluyimpumelelo. Amakhonsathi abegcwele. Abaculi bacula no-Iron Maiden wodumo, uBon Jovi no-Ozzy Osbourne.
I-albhamu yesithathu yokuhlola yeqembu, i-Dancing Undercover, ithole ukubuyekezwa okuxubile kubagxeki bomculo. Naphezu kwalokhu, uthando lwabalandeli luvumele irekhodi ukugcina isimo se-platinum. Iqoqo lesine elithi "Reach For The Sky" kwaba elokugcina impumelelo emsebenzini wabaculi.
Phakathi naso sonke isikhathi sokuba khona, iqembu likwazile ukukhipha ama-albhamu angu-8. Kuwo wonke amarekhodi alotshwa, amabili okuqala kuphela ajabulela impumelelo yangempela. Ama-disc okugcina abhalwe ngemuva kokuhlukana awakwazanga ukuziqhayisa ngesidingo esikhulu.
Izingoma eziphuma kuma-albhamu amane okugcina abonakale ephelelwe yisikhathi emphakathini. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, amaqembu amasha amasha aqala ukuphusha iqembu emakethe yomculo. Izingoma ze-Ballad zaduma, u-Ratt azama ukuzigwema emsebenzini wakhe.
Inkinga yokudala
Akukhona nje kuphela ukubonakala kwezimbangi okwadala ukungezwani eqenjini. Umthelela wotshwala nezidakamizwa ezidakayo wawuthinta kakhulu umsebenzi wokudala. Ukuncika ezintweni ezingekho emthethweni sekuholele abaculi exhaphozini lokunganyakazi kobuciko. Ngemva kokugxekwa kwe-albhamu yesine, uRatt washintsha umdidiyeli. Lesi sinqumo asizange sibe nomthelela ekuhambeni kwabo obekulindelekile. I-albhamu elandelayo erekhodiwe ethi "Detonator" ingathola kuphela isimo "segolide".
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umqambi wezingoma oyinhloko kanye nomshayi wesiginci ophambili u-Robbin Crosby wayecwile ezidakamizweni. Ngokuzayo, lokhu kuholele ekuncishisweni komugqa wokuqala ube yi-quartet. Ngokumelene nesizinda sokuvela kwe-Nirvana, amarekhodi ka-Ratt awazange abe yimpumelelo kwezohwebo.
Kusukela ngo-1991, izindaba zeqembu ziye zahamba kabi kakhulu - umsunguli weqembu uStephen Pearcy washiya iqembu. Ngemva kwakhe, lonke iqembu lahlakazeka ngamaqembu ahlukene. Isehlakalo sokugcina esibe sibi kakhulu esathinta kabi ukuvuselelwa kweqembu kwaba ukushona komculi ophambili ngo-2002.
Ukuthatha umhlalaphansi kwamalungu eRatt
Naphezu kwemizamo yezikhathi ezithile yokuhlanganisa iqembu, akukwazanga ukuvusa iqembu elake laba yinganekwane. Iqembu elake laphumelela lawa ngenxa yezinxushunxushu zangaphakathi nokushintsha kwezitayela zomculo. Iqembu layeka ukuthuthukiswa kwalo okusebenzayo eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-20 edlule. Kusukela ngo-2007, umsebenzi wekhonsathi ka-Ratt ukhawulelwe ekusebenzeni ngezikhathi ezithile ezindaweni ezincane.
Namuhla, kuphela umculi weqembu elidumile obambe iqhaza emculweni. UStephen Pearcy uyaqhubeka nomsebenzi wedwa, eduze ngangokunokwenzeka nesitayela seqembu. Naphezu kokuntuleka kokuthandwa kukaRatt, abalandeli babo abathembekile abakhohlwa. Ngisho nenhlekelele nokuqedwa komsebenzi akuzange kuvimbele leli qembu ukuthi lithengise ama-albhamu angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1983 emhlabeni wonke kusukela ngo-20.
