I'm aware of his plan to put a band together and tour next year, and I don't know how the dynamic of his band and Pearcy's band doing shows together will work, considering they'd both be expected to play many hits, which would of course overlap.

I was asked to TM it and if all the details work out, I would. Blotzer treated me very well and paid his guys better than many bands and artists pay their side guys.

As far as getting a Platinum album as a Christmas gift of a band i liked growing up, from one of the guys in the band while he's out touring that music (whether it should be called Ratt or not is irrelevant), it was a wonderful gift and it hangs in my poker room.

As far as looking uncomfortable- that was after a gig, where I not only TM'd, but I set up drums, I sound checked, I found lost luggage, dealt w/ Security, 3 merch booths, settling, accounting, travel- I did it all. So perhaps that's the confused look. More like, I have 1000 things to do the moment i get done with this photo. I was likely wiped the fuck out too and the night was nowhere close to being over.

Blotz only has a few glory years at best jamming songs he was a part of. I hope he can find a way to do it drama free. If people come, it'll be good, I'm certain. If not, he'll go back to retirement.

As a side note, he's since stopped drinking over 3 months ago last we spoke.
u worked for FATT??

He’s probably got Jordan Ziff on guitar from Pearcy’s last version of RATT. He’s great.

Assuming you’re referring to BLOTZ Ratt -
While Bob isn’t competing in any fitness competitions- you can’t really say he’s “fat”.

anyway- regarding your intended question:
No- not at all. What gave you that idea?

What would be the point of this? Wouldn't all the GROSS proceeds be required to be surrendered to settle the previous lawsuit that Blotz lost?

Eddie Trunk stated earlier today on his show Juan Croucier was also soliciting dates for gigs coming up as well. Three RATT’s in 2024 is going to be something else.

Juan's solo band doing was fucking excellent.

Pearcy's solo stuff is always good.

Blotz isn't gonna have the bankroll to hire the level of talent he did last time, because the guarantees are going to be a fraction of what they were without the brand name.

I would love to see three Ratt bands in 2024. :lol:

Jason Green says the singer is Gabriel Colon who is the current Lynch Mob singer. Hmm.

The rest of the guys:
Steven: he has his shit together, but wants an all-original lineup (minus Robin of course). Since Warren doesn't seem willing, he's going out on his own. He's the most important member, so can't fault him from wanting to do his own thing on his own terms (à la Bret Miracles)
Warren: supposedly has fuck you money. Can't fault him for prefering to lounge around his pool than travel City to City...
Juan: who knows, he's juan in a million

But yeah, more power to BRatt, I'd go see them!

Maybe that’s why he is doing it. Pay off his debt. Anyone know anything about a settlement for that suit?

There is simply no possible way the finances allow this to work out.

Every last thing is far more expensive today than in 2015-2016. At the same time the average person has less discretionary income than ever before.

Blobby admitted back then that the switch from Blatt Experience to RATT was the only way he could stay out there last time.

Blobbo likes to fly first class. Even if he were to hand out pogo sticks for the rest of the group to get to the gigs, he would not have enough money to pay everyone.

Any club owner would be eligible for an involuntary mental evaluation from the State if anyone could show that he paid a penny over 6K for Treehouse Blatt.....


On a related note, rumor has it that Broke Nikki finally removed his Platinum Cellar award off his wall due to the awkward AF moments of silence that would come after telling his students that he had absolutely nothing to do with the writing or recording of that album.

I dont even see Blobster's post on his facebook page.

I thought he was a "public figure", why is he makin' private announcements like this? What a fraud.

No he wasn't.

You were extremely fooled.

He was doing the same shit at that time, doing lawsuits, taking the name and running with it and trying to pawn it off as Ratt. A true asshole.
