Thanks for not showing up to the Meet N Greet in Houston Blotzer. The rest of the band were Awesome, Great guys. Put on a Hell of a show in Houston and San Antonio. Huge disappointment that Blotzer doesn't like to meet his fans.

Uhhh, maybe you should check to see why before you bash thge dude. Could it be he was not feeling well, or had an emergency come up? The guy is the most fan friendly dude in the world cut him some slack...

@EddyOtt: Uhhh No, Pearcy told everyone at the meet and greet that "Our drummer is a F*ckin Clown and doesn't like to do these, he totally disrespects our fans, he'd rather go out tonight than meet you guys, tell everyone" so that's what I'm doing. Some emergency, he did it in Dallas in 05 as well.

What the heck is going on with this band?? You would think that everyone in the band would recognize that it's extremely rare for a 25+ year old band to have a successful album and tour and they would put all the crap aside for what could be their farewell tour. Unbelievable.

@geo-ratt: Yeah it sucks, they have a great line up with Carlos in the band now. Their manager was apologizing for Blotzer not being there. He could of at least honored his commitment for 30 minutes, there was only about 20 people at the meet n greet. They've got a great thing going with this album and tour.

Hmmm, I wonder if Carlos and Frankie are speaking these days? ;-)

To all the Blotzer hatters... Blotzer was the only one to meet and hang with the fans after the show last night! DEAL WITH IT!

eddy ott is an IDIOT!! blotzer has treated the real fans like shit for years .he's dissed the fans since the very beginning i seen them before out of the cellar came out, in 1983 he did the same thing . R.I.P. Robbin i miss you dearly my friend !!!!

On May 15th in 1987, I could meet the band coz a Japanese TV program hosted by Masa Ito on TVK chose me as one of the winners of Meet & Greet with RATT. The kindness of the band esp. Bobby & Robbin motivated me to learn English so that someday I can talk to them again. These two guys are nice even off-camera.
Their inspiration led me to be a bilingual.

Thanks to a lady who's a diehard fan of Stephen's, on Nov. '07, I could talk with Stephen @ backstage.
Although I only could see him about a minute 2 decades ago, I could talk longer last time, long enough to know that he's a nice guy! When I shed tears while talking about Robbin, he seemed to have almost done the same.
He said he felt the King was there during the Yokohama show. "Time Slips Away" on Under My Skin is about Robbin.

The magnitude of losing Robbin is enormous. The fact still affects the band coz the new album is appreciating the beauty of twin guitar harmonies thanks to Carlos! It's like going back to the roots.

In stead of arguing over who's gonna be the boss, I do hope they sit down and discuss what's the best for them and the fans. Be democratic when making decisions.
If Judas Priest can do it, Ratt can do it, too.

I used to have a MySpace account and uploaded the vid of my M&G. Dave Starr of WildeStarr, former bassist of Vicious Rumors wrote to me it was cool.

I met Botz one time at a bar on the Colorado river. I am sitting across the bar and he asked me, where did you see Dokken at, since I had the tour tee shirt on. I said the Galaxy in Santa Ana, he said, I played the drums for a couple of the songs at that show, I knew this because I was at the show but I wasn’t going to bother him until he started a conversation with me. So I walked around the bar to introduce myself and he wouldn't even turn around to shake my hand for about a minute or so. He finally turned around and shook my hand and I asked him if Ratt was getting back together, this was before the collage album and he said yeah. Since I got the cold treatment, I said, nice meeting you and went back to my buddies to continue the partying. If I saw the whole band walking down the street I might introduce myself to everyone except him!! A TOTAL JACKASS!

Bobby does not do the meet 'n greets on the tour, this was made clear in the e-mails regarding meet 'n greet arrangements.

Why he does not participate I don't know.

But I do agree he seems to be very unappreciative of the fans and his success......I can't believe he would want to be the ONE band member out of five that does not appear at the meet 'n greets......it would take a half hour of his time, and I would think it would be extra $$ since the ticket for the meet 'n greet was $100/pp.
