While most of us tend to spend Monday mornings wearily attempting to face the drudgery of another working week, Ratt lead vocalist Stephen Pearcy appears totally oblivious to such routine as he ambles into Atlantic Records' midtown Manhattan headquarters. Asked by a cordial press person if he'd care for some breakfast or coffee, his response is simply—"Umm, is there any way I can get a beer?" The fact that it's still only 11 a.m. doesn't bother him in the least.

Without being ultra cynical, or even suggesting that young Stephen has any kind of drinking problem, one senses that he believes he's merely conforming to the rock 'n' roll norm with his early morning quest for alcohol. Either that, or he's still buzzing after a wild weekend, which saw Ratt making their Big Apple debut, as they opened two sell-out shows for Motley Crue.
