Ratt released their last full-length record of the Atlantic era, Detonator, in 1990. Music was changing but Detonator was still a success, peaking at #23 on the Billboard 200 and going gold. The first album to feature major outside songwriting contributions (Desmond Child, Diane Warren) and guests (Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Schenker), it includes lead single, “Lovin’ You’s A Dirty Job,” which hit #18 on the Mainstream Rock chart, while power ballad “Giving Yourself Away,” reached #39. The album features the classic line-up of Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Warren DeMartini (guitars), Robbin Crosby (guitars), Juan Croucier (bass/vocals) and Bobby Blotzer (drums).
