Btw, it seems like the Ratt fb page has been losing likes fast. Could have sworn it once had over a million likes and that was just not too long ago.

Re: Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit
you know, there's a TINY bit of me that feels sorry for Blotz. I have played in bands for years, you get a high playing in front of a crowd, playing in front of THOUSANDS has to be an incredible experience. When they sort of stopped playing, I imagine money was part of it but he probably missed that high, you want to get out there and feel that charge again, so he put that Ratt experience together. However, running EVERYTHING like he did and then playing for 100 people probably just didn't satisfy his craving of playing out so he changed the name and scammed larger crowds..at some point it became an ego thing with him and now he's really fucked himself because let's face it, when Stephen and Warren and the other guys DO go back out as Ratt, Blotz isn't going to be a part of it..and probably never will. So he's royally fucked himself, he's going to end up having to take fill in drummer spots for other bands if he wants to play out again and I bet they'll be 100-something crowds which he tried to avoid..
Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground for all my friends out on the burial ground. Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down. It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

Re: Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit
I my thinking, Bobby is sacking away as much money as possible knowing this is all going to end much sooner than later.

The best part of this photo is in the original he's scribbled "RATT'S" above his name, like people might get him confused with Rush's Bobby Blotzer or Dream Theater's Bobby Blotzer....Indy_Rob wrote:When people meet him and see that stupid face, I bet they are overcome with the urge to throw a punch.backwoodsdrifter wrote:

I took it as "Hey, I'm not just any Bobby, i'm Bobby BLOTZER.... you know, from RATT? The band RATT? We were really successful in the 80's... oh, man have I got stories for you............."

They tried to get me to do a show in Canada, because I had plane ticket, I politely declined with "go fuck yourself"
I am no longer in contact with Ellis, I assume he will go back to playing locally in Vegas.
I am in contact with blaze, but I don't know his exact plans. He is one of the best guitarists I have seen in ages and I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him
Ellis is like fucking VD in the scab world nobody wants him around after Blobby. Ellis was a major cunt for his whole stint in FATT. I bet Ellis is still spitting out Bobby's pubes as the dude had a major man whore crush on Blobby and FATT.

Re: Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit
The new Scabs joining Fake Ratt must be some broke ass mutha fuckers to tour with the Blotz, are they that hard up for $$$? I would rather work at Taco Bell than work for the DICKtator Blobbo! Working at Taco Bell seems more respectful than being in Fake Ratt. Shit at this point I think that living off the government is more respectful than playing in Fake Ratt or its the equivalent. #ScabRattsDontMatter

Looking at Brad's fb page he seems to be doing ok so I don't think he's all that hard up for cash. I never even heard of the guy until he joined Jeff Pilson's War & Peace then he went onto Y&T after Phil passed away. He must have other avenues of making a living which does not include working at Taco Bell.

Re: Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit
I don't get it why he is there and Mitch Perry as well. Both Mitch and Brad were apart of Jeff Pilson's War & Peace touring band. I'm thinking Bobby is paying them a decent salary so he can get more respectable names in his band instead of these fifth rate tribute rejects. Bobby knows he's treading on water. I think by middle of September the whole will have it's final implode and Bobby will be taking orders for carpet cleaning or whatever. Maybe he can take whatever he makes and invest in a food cart that serves wine & cheesecake and call it the Ratt Cellar. His music career is coming to a screeching halt unless he can convince Jake to hire him in Red Dragon Cartel.

I'll be amazed if Blobby holds on to the 50% he owes Warren, knowing his propensity to burn through cash. I've said it before, but here it is again: Blotzer will file for bankruptcy after this pillaging mission is over with.
Wonder if he doesn't pay Warren his 50% as part of settlement for ratt name / lawsuit. You guys get name I owe you no $$$$. That way he has enough coin for at least cheesecake through 2018?

Re: Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit
So the new guys aren't amateurs, have been in the business for awhile so I'd have to guess they're not playing for the same pay as the other guys were... So is Blob's taking a cut in pay to shell out the extra cash these guys are going to cost to keep this circus ride going and if they get stiffed like Blaze did will Blobs be able to intimidate them into backing down like he did with Blaze?
Re: Bobby Blotzer = piece of shit
While the new additions may have some more experience, they are far from "name" guys and definitely not going to get any kind of pay increase. None of those guys were doing anything, Vegas cover band guys probably make more. Fake Ratt were paid well enough (myself included) that's why people put up with it, but after not paying blaze and people starting to realize this band isn't Ratt, that could change.

Hey Jason.
Love hearing your stories from behind the scenes. Without getting too personal on key topics I know I am not alone on a few questions. Sure none is any of our business but this is sludge.
So just curious. When you were manager. And Bobby got paid (or his company) is he at least smart enough to know that if he received $X for a gig did he know to at least set aside 25-30% for taxes? Is He at least good with numbers or behind the scene stuff on operations from carpet cleaning days? Does he have insurance policies on gear and the like for travel? Does he know difference between 1099 & W2 when accepting gigs ?
Again. Not mine or any of our business. Just curious if he is terrible at decisions with using name, politics etc. but maybe there is at least something he is good at behind the scenes to be somewhat successful.

All great questions. Also, did he book dates and cities based on the proximity to Cheesecake Factory locations?gtrjay wrote:SCSINNER wrote:While the new additions may have some more experience, they are far from "name" guys and definitely not going to get any kind of pay increase.
