THE LAST TIME I SAW RATT IN SPRINGFIELD THEY ACTUALLY OPENED FOR BON JOVI AND THEN AGAIN THE NEXT YEAR THEY HEADLINED, BOTH TIMES I WAS BLOWN AWAY. THEN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I SAW THEM OPEN UP FOR POISON IN ST.LOUIS AND WAS AMAZED AT HOW GREAT THEY STILL SOUNDED. I CAN'T WAIT TILL JULY 29TH TO SEE STEPHEN AND THE BOYS LIVE ONCE AGAIN. RATT'N'ROLL FOREVER!!!!!!

Hey - When did RATT open for Bon Jovi? I remember back in the day....Bon Jovi opened for RATT for a short run of shows (8 weeks or something).....just before Bon Jovi blew up.

By the time RATT got to my town in 1985, Bon Jovi wasn't the opener anymore (...and I can't remember who was). I do recall seeing RATT headline with Mountain opening back in 1984, as well as RATT opening for Billy Squier later that same year. By the time 1985 rolled around, I was too RATT-n-Rolled to remember who the hell opened....but, had never heard of RATT opened for JBJ
