Looks like Bobby Blotzer's drum kit that he used on the Dancin Tour is up for sale? Not sure if it's authentic but I found this interesting none the less.

Tried to copy link but couldn't for some reason. Go to Ebay and search for Bobby Blotzer. $6,000.

A special request / challenge for RATT.

RATT was HUGE in Japan back in the day and continues to have a strong following. It would be awesome if you guys could put your differences aside and play a few benefit shows with the proceeds going to Red Cross or some organization like that?

Think of all the people in need you could help by jammin' out and layin down some serious kick ass Rock. Many of these people probably came to your shows over the years.

When you do the benefit shows, please make a live DVD. I will buy a copy of that!

Legendary RATT singer Stephen Pearcy has sent BraveWords.com the following exclusive update on his activities:

"I'm personally taking a break from Ratt to concentrate on my label Top Fuel Records, work on a new solo album and BATTERING RAMM, a project that I'm looking forward to as I'm just playing guitar in that, That music is way more aggressive then anything I've done in the past.

Also other new ventures under my new management at MMG (A FrontLine Company with Jim Morley-Bobby Collin), and just enjoy time off. And get busy with the drag race stuff 2011.

I will say, there does need to be some major restructuring in the Ratt camp per say before I step back in, that's a fact! If any other member is unhappy, there's obviously personal concerns and valid reasoning.

We (Ratt) had a great end of tour show in Japan at Loud Park 10 with ROB HALFORD, HELLYEAH and others recently. Without getting into anything personally, its more the business side of things that bothers me, if that can be taken care of without animosity and procrastination, everything else should fall into place for another record and tour to support it. But just not right now, not for awhile with me until then.

The band is NOT breaking up. We made a great record with Infestation and now hearing that were on the Grammy nomination lists (for single and album) says a lot for that hard work.

I have the utmost respect for Robert Crane (bass) and Carlos Cavazo (guitar), and look forward to writing and playing out there again with them anytime.

And I don't believe the things that are being spewed online about their respected positions in Ratt or any bands. They have every right to say what they feel, when and how they want to, I would if I spent a minute in that band. Like I am now.

Until then, stayed tuned!!"

I've been a Ratt / SEP fan since 84. I've heard SEP talking about writing his memoirs in his Ratt Tales book for years then, lo and behold, BB comes out with Tales of a Ratt. I was like.... huh?? Can't blame SEP for being pissed.

That was dumb.

Guys,

Why not stream a LIVE concert over your website? How freakin AWESOME would that be for us fans that can't get to a show. Ok... OK... maybe you don't have to do the whole show but at LEAST do a few live songs for us.

Well... EVEN if for some reason you can't stream it LIVE... maybe you guys could get someone to take some PRO SHOT footage and put it up on YouTube and link it to this site.

I'm just sayin... RATT is one of the most kick ass bands on tour this summer and I gotta get me some of that shit.
