I’m sure it’s been said before on this forum, but is there a definitive reason why, with all of Ratt’s post Robin guitar player changes, Jake never rejoined the band as a FTM?

I dunno if they were going to play together, necessarily, I think it was just a nice picture.

Pearcy/DeMartini absolutely played, and Sebastian guested on two tracks.

Wth happened to him? Was the Badlands crash'n'burn just too much for him to handle? Or was he already unraveling personally as the band was musically?

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

No one knows for certain. He's actually been around playing pretty much this whole time, but guitarists that were half as famous as Jake in the 80's have got lots of opportunities to at least pay the bills, meanwhile Jake spent the past 30 years mostly in projects like this:

Or was it losing the Ozzy gig that accelerated the issues?

Idk... he got the Badlands deal pretty quickly and seemed to have his head together for the 1st album. #2 was when they started leaking oil.

This “reunion” did happen but Jake did not perform.

“Nothing to do with reuniting, starting a band, and No, Jake E didn’t jam as I was hoping, next time. Point, always great to see the Ratt brothers.”
