Music video taken from the Motion Picture Soundtrack POINT BREAK (by Mark Isham /Various Artists). Film released July 12 1991 (US),120 minutes, directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

Bodhi: ‘Little hand says it’s time to rock and roll…’

Summer 1991, Ratt released the final single of their career, "Nobody Rides for Free" which appeared on Point Break's soundtrack album and featured in this cult classic film as the closing credits roll. The title track was penned by songwriter Steven Caton, and the four-minute-plus track is also featured on Rhino's Tell the World: The Very Best of Ratt - a compilation CD that collects 20 tracks from the popular Los Angeles hard rock quintet's releases.

The song and video clearly signal a change in the band. Robbin Crosby did not participate in the recording of the song and was not present for the shooting of the video in which only the four remaining members appeared - The band never again recorded or performed with the original five members.

The music video for the song, showing the band playing on a beach, still is a cool promotional video which intercut film clips from the surf-crazed movie into a Ratt seaside performance. Furthermore, the action thriller still has the balls to give you an adrenaline rush, mainly among enthusiasts for big thrills (Surf and Xtrem sports) and as the tag line states: its ‘100% Pure Adrenaline’.

NOBODY RIDES FOR FREE ( Stephen Pearcy / Warren DeMartini / Juan Croucier / Steven Caton )

Well, my dreams keep on haunting me
Get back exactly who I wanna be
If she could really see herself in my eyes
This wouldn't be such a big surprise

I'm sick and tired of it gettin' in my way
I'm sick and tired of everything I see but I don't know

Nobody rides for free, nobody rides for free

Don't stop to think 'cause I know where I stand
I'm on my way, no, you're not gonna change my plan
If you can break away and see what I say
You'll understand what's burning inside of me

I'm sick and tired of talking 'bout little things
I'm sick and tired of everyone in my way

Nobody rides for free
(Nobody rides for free)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody rides for free)
Nobody rides

(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)

You've gotta pay to play
So don't you stand in my way
'Cause nobody, nobody rides for free

Now the water was deep, the current was strong
You thought he could swim but I guess you were wrong
You sink to the depths of your misery
Baby, the past will set you free

Nobody rides for free
(Nobody rides for free)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody rides for free)
Nobody rides

(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)

You've gotta pay to play
So don't you stand in my way
'Cause nobody
Nobody rides for free

(Nobody rides for free, nobody rides)
For free
(Nobody)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody rides for free
(Nobody)
Nobody rides for free

Nobody, nobody, nobody rides for free
Nobody rides for free, nobody, nobody, nobody rides
Nobody rides for free
Nobody rides.
