Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit

[HueyRamone]

Personally, I think Scotty Griffin is a great bass player & more importantly a great guy, he hasn't been in Fake Ratt in Months. I was referring to the other surviving original members

Why'd he stay on in Bloopy Blipper RATT for a while, after you started this thread, and then leave?

[SCSINNER]

James wood did sound while he was on hiatus from Alice Cooper, he left fake Ratt a while back ago.
Scotty was contracted to finish out a few shows.
I was even asked to do one more in Canada, which I politely said go fuck yourself

[HueyRamone]

Scotty was contracted to finish out a few shows.

Why'd he leave at all? Was he disgusted with Bloopy and wanted out? Did Bloopy give him the axe, as Crane was at least a scab with more Ratt history?

Let's not forget what happens when Robert John Blotzer drives a water vehicle

JAIL time, huh? I wonder who his CELLMATE was?

Better yet, I wonder what the sleeping arrangements were?



HAHHAHA!

[Kristy_Deville]

JAIL time, huh? I wonder who his CELLMATE was?

Better yet, I wonder what the sleeping arrangements were?



HAHHAHA!

I wonder if he had the warden announce his presence before he was released into gen pop.
"Inmates! this is Blobby Blobzer from Ratt". The other Inmates be like - Homeboy's a rat!

BOBBY BLOTZER Says Singer Of His Version Of RATT 'Blows STEPHEN PEARCY Out Of The Water'
Read more at http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/bobby- ... TuWg885.99

Bobby Blotzer has defended his decision to go out on tour as RATT without any other original members of the band, explaining that fans just want to hear the music performed the way it was recorded on the group's albums.

The drummer has been touring the U.S. for the last few months with his own version of RATT, featuring several new members alongside bassist Robbie Crane, who previously played bass for RATT from 1996 to 2012 and appeared on the band's 1999 self-titled album and "Infestation".

"No matter what, this band plays so good and does such great integrity to the music of RATT," Blotzer told ClassX Radio in a new interview (hear audio below). "That's why everybody's been hired. It's been uncanny. Especially for the age of some of these guys. The lead guitar player, he just turned 22 about, I don't know, a half year ago or something, and he's amazing. He cops Warren's [DeMartini's] stuff amazingly. The singer just blows Stephen Pearcy out of the water at this day and age. And frankly, [he sounds better than Stephen did] even when we started out."

Blotzer also addressed the legal battle that is playing out between him and DeMartini over the rights to the RATT name, with the guitarist filing a lawsuit last fall claiming that the drummer was falsely advertising his "tribute band" as the real thing. That dispute is still pending in California state court.

"God bless Stephen and my other RATT cohorts," Blotzer said. "I mean, we made history; I recognize that, I appreciate it. We all wrote it together, wrote the music, rode the waves. But now, it's, like, okay, guys. There's three rafts left here. You're in or you're out. And it's been going on for five years. And I wanna finish the race. So that's where I'm at."

He continued: "I do not wanna insult anybody in the old-school RATT camp — I call it the class of '84 — but, you know, these guys were our own worst enemies. They're on a five-year strike thing that was going on between Juan Croucier [bass], who came back in after twenty years gone, and got Stephen riled up. And here we sat… last year was five years [that we were away from the road], [and] this would have been number six, and I was not willing to sit, as one of the owners of the name; DeMartini and myself own the name. And I'm, like, 'I've got a great band, Warren. Do you wanna come out and play with this band?' It'll be our band, obviously, but these are great. And he just didn't wanna have any part of it. So I said, 'I'm going out. I'm taking it out.'"

According to Blotzer, it is not unusual for other rock bands with long histories to still be on the road in incarnations that bear little resemblance to the formations that recorded the original albums.

"In this day and age, there's so much of that going on," Bobby said. "We actually made a list at one point. There was thirty-three bands that have one or two [original] members that are still out touring."

He continued: "FOREIGNER, for me, they're friends of mine; Jeff Pilson is a good friend of mine and a neighbor of mine. FOREIGNER has one [original member] and they go out and they deliver a great show and they make the songs sound like the records. And people don't deal with the crap. They wanna hear the songs sounding like the record, they wanna drink their beer and get out of their house on the weekend or whatever, and that's what we do in RATT. And we deliver a great show. We do a lot more stuff than [the classic lineup of] RATT was willing to do. [They would] not move around and not change the songs up in any way. We go the extra distance."

Despite his enthusiasm for his version of RATT, Blotzer hinted at some disagreements behind the scenes, apparently stemming from the problems RATT encountered while performing at the First Council Casino in Newkirk, Oklahoma last weekend.

"We are a great band, that's all I can say," he said. "I'm so proud of us, you know. But I also wanna see people having their act together on every level. That includes me, too. Nobody's immune from the… from what we've gotta do out there.

"I'm doing all the work behind the scenes, and these cats, all they've gotta do is show up and do their part," he added.

Despite the fact that he has not yet reached an agreement with DeMartini over his use of the RATT name, Blotzer predicted that the new version of the band would stay on the road for the foreseeable future. "I think this week we're gonna do four or five dates. That'll top the forty-show mark [for this lineup of the band]," he said. "And on we go. We're booked through December 30 at this point, and they're already booking next year. So RATT is gonna be out there, man. The cast could change; it could stay the same. I don't know. It's like a football team. You want the team to win? You root for the team, 'cause you like the team. And we have a good team, and we have great songs, and we will perform those excellently."

Blotzer's revamped RATT is rounded out by vocalist Josh Alan (ex-SIN CITY SINNERS) and guitarists Doc Ellis (Jizzy Pearl's LOVE/HATE) and Nicholas "Blaze" Baum.

Three members of RATT's classic lineup — Pearcy, Croucier and DeMartini — reunited last week at a Los Angeles birthday party, leading to speculation that they were planning to launch their own version of the band that would not include Blotzer.

Those sampled drum fills didn't write themselves matey

[FamousJames]

And the worst part of all... His band was actually pretty good. Even the haters here were giving respect to the Bobby Blotzer Ratt Experience. Let this be a lesson to anyone with a raging ego and warped sense of reality.

[SCSINNER]

As most of you know, Bobby Blotzer RATT experience was just the band I manage SIN CITY SINNERS with the musicians I hired. We made the mistake of bringing Bob in to be a guest & after he called me to co-manage. We fought him to use the singer, he was completely against him and at one point wanted to make him compete against other singers in a reality style competition, with an audience deciding. Scotty and I fought to get the singer in (who never heard a Ratt album, but did a great impression) There will be a new fake cast real soon, so Ratt tribute bands should start sending in resumes.
In my opinion by Jan there will be only one Ratt and we will all "wait" for "when the Blotzer cries"

[dmbrocker]

and we will all "wait" for "when the Blotzer cries"

Someone needs to do a Prince parody called "When Blotz Cries". That'd be a big middle finger right there!

[SCSINNER]

I was going more for the White Lion reference

Ah, I just now noticed that! Good job dishing the dirt, though!

[Heenan Snuka]

Blotzer's revamped RATT is rounded out by vocalist Josh Alan (ex-SIN CITY SINNERS) and guitarists Doc Ellis (Jizzy Pearl's LOVE/HATE) and Nicholas "Blaze" Baum.

when was Doc Ellis in Love/Hate?

anybody have any pics or video of him performing in Love/Hate.

I thought with fake ratt he was completely new to this scab thing.

[SCSINNER]

He was never really in love/hate, he played in a solo band with Jizzy that did one uk run (5 shows maybe) under the name Jizzy Pearl's Love/Hate. They put that in the press release, so it wouldn't say every member was from Sin City Sinners

[Luminiferous]

"So RATT is gonna be out there, man. The cast could change; it could stay the same. I don't know. It's like a football team. You want the team to win? You root for the team, 'cause you like the team. And we have a good team, and we have great songs, and we will perform those excellently."

So in other words, just like most tribute bands Blobs will continue to have a revolving door of musicians as long as his version of Ratt stays active, keeps him out of cleaning carpets and that he's the main attraction...

[Chip Z'Hoy]

Now that "Ratt" has a revolving door membership, I might throw my hat in. My hat isn't a fedora because I'm not a douchebag but if it gets me the job, I can buy a cheap fedora.

I'm thinking my stage name will be Goose Gossage.

You can get a nice straw fedora on Amazon Prime sub $20. Good luck!

Not bad! It's a week's paycheck playing in Ratt but you gotta spend money to make it.

Blozers comments…..
- The cast can change? Some of Blotzers guys aren’t use to the Pirate Ship yet.
- He’s surprised he has to help his band mates out to this degree.
-Theres a lot of sailors wanting to go out on his ship.

And what a lovely ship it is.
