If he can keep his mouth shut, and his stupid antics to a minimum i'd check it out. Especially if he brings out a band as solid as his last one. I seem to remember every clip I saw of that band, they were crushing it. But I also remember him giving them platinum albums for their contributions to Ratt

I’m fine with him calling it Rat Attack and not Ratt.

Assemble a good band, play the shows and keep the political bs as far away from the operation as humanly possible.

He wont be able to not fuck it up.

I think he lucked out with that singer. I could see this next one being more like Red Dragon Cartel than Blatt. I guess we'll see.

I’m here for it. Would love to see this. I wonder who will be in the band? He should get Warren

RATaTtack

is how it will appear on posters.

Wasn't this already done by SEP? I smell mo'lawsuits a comin'...

Blatt. Hilarious. And there’s no way this goes anywhere profitable. Without Stephen, even as lame as he is, this project will do zilch.

Logo sucks. Should have darted around RATT friendly colors & fonts. Huey/Sleek, do something for him.

Not a problem. Blobby will just hire Drew “Freight Train” Sherman to handle it, and we all know Sherm has a winning record when it comes to Blobby.

sit back and pass the popcorn. Good sludge coming!

Yup!

Looks like he's playing nice this time, no highjacking of the Ratt name, no use of the logo, etc. I don't think there'll be any drama this time...

They should tour with Steve Riley's L.A. Guns and Jack Russell's Great White!

Five bucks says he just brings back Sean Nichols on vocals and has some cheap ex-BulletBoys guys round it out.

He can't afford the caliber of guys he had before without calling it Ratt.

Potato flakes = success

Add Steven Adler to the mix and you've got your summer package tour right there!

and like Bands on the run back in the day, film it for $$$. They'd make more than the guarantee.

and for the papered price that would be out there, about 90% of us here would go see it. And why not?

perfect package!

I wonder how much the singer gets paid. He does a great job with the songs and Blotzer can't afford to lose him.

Will he try to play a trump rally?

Awesome. Didn’t get to see his version of RATT last time. Hope to see this one. Bet the merch is going to be killer!!!

Are you referring to Josh Alan or Sean Nichols? It definitely won't be Josh Alan.

Without the actual RATT name, how much less is he gonna make per show.....hence how much money does he have to pay his band

Guy wants to work.. nothing wrong with that, until he shows up and starts talking and dragging the American flag across the floor.. I guess there's no worries about entertainment lawyers lurking under the stage.. man that last one was fukin weird as shit... Troy Patrick Farrell, what did you do with your OOTC celebration item??? Is Stacy Blades involved again? Wonder what he did with his trophy .. Troy was the only guy who looked a bit confused and awkward in that photo

Sean Nichols sucks ass/bar band level amateur.

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.

I am intrigued... can't wait... Sludge needs some content.
