I have read that Ratt is listed on the bill for Rock USA in Wisconsin July 14 15 &16 2011. Anybody out there know if this is true?
I listened to the lastest Pearcy interview and many previous ones and I keep hearing him say that Ratt has to take care of some business. What is he talking about. Perhaps getting rid of Blotzer. I really respect Pearcy as a singer He is very dynamic with his is song writing skills and without a question the tone of his voice to go along with warren's riffs has made Ratt one of the greatest bands of all time. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way about stephen is how little he talks about his fans. I wonder does He actually care about the fans. The major concern only seems to be about the business side of things for Ratt. Ratt always has been my favorite band but all this talk all the time about the business side of Ratt is really a downer to a fan. How and the hell do you walk away from a great record and cut a world tour short like this. There has to be more problems in this band than Bobby's stupid book. Why is it such a issue know. He released the book in april for crying out loud. I think what He did was wrong but to end a great thing because of this dosen't add up and I'm not buying it. All of this hype and huge world tour really got me fired up that Ratt could get back to the top. I feel like a fool for supporting this band for all these years. Ratt quit bending over your fans. Gang bang blotzter and get a new drummer if he is really the problem otherwise get off his back. Juan needs to come back for some added firer power.
Being a huge ratt fan my whole life I am very depressed after reading the latest stephen pearcy interview on noisecreep. Many bands would kill for the amount of support ratt fans give this band and to have a huge album as good as infestation at this point in there career is almost unbelievable. Bobby should never have released his book until the band was completly over. The single Eat me up alive without a question should have been the first single and has now been released on radio which should help sell more albums. Lost weekend for some reson is not being played live and that is a huge mistake . That is a great song and people need to hear that one. What I have a hard time understanding is the amount of time and effort it must have taken to make this record and also to get this band back together. You guys have come to far to quit on this tour and on this record. You may never get this chance again to do this at this level. You guys need to have a meeting right away and fix this problem. All I ever read is the problems are complex. I think it is simple . You have fans out there that love your music and a great album to support. Find a way to get along and stop cutting each other down. Each member of this band is equally important to this bands success.
