"Leave the Earth to Satan & His Slaves..."

About Me

Hollywoods Best ALL MALE / English Speaking

BLACK SABBATH

Cover band

Yes , we play ALL SABBATH songs...

Not A "BLACK SABBATH TRIBUTE BAND", But a "Butte' of a SABBATH BAND" Nonetheless.

Well yes, Theoretically we are a TRIBUTE band, but that title is so "icky"

We like to make fun of Tribute bands as much as you do, but check us out before you pass us off as off as:

Out-Of- Work-Fat-Has-been Metalheads -from -the -Valley-Who -cant -Get -In -A real - band-or -write songs-Kinda-Guys...

You will surprised how Not Bad we are. Yes, RAT SALAD is a Serious SABBATH cover act.

We are Serious SABBATH fanatics & it shows in the live performance.

Although, we like to have fun with it, this isn't a Joke band / spoof tribute, like some of the others have been.

We have a Grip on the Otherworldly Sonic SledgeHammer that The original SABBATH weilded in the early days, and hopefully it Pounds the word of the SABB'S Home when you Order up the SALAD from the Menu of Doom.

With out dressing (all puns intended ) up like the originators, RAT SALAD still come across with an acurate re-creation of the SABBATH sound, much more than many of the other Imitators.

With the Vinatge Gear :Old Laney Amps /Speakers , Vintage Ludwig drums & SG guitars & the often Unintellegible between song Jabber of TOM 5.These serve as The final Croutons that garnish the Sonic Salad of SABBATISIM.
