Ratt Drummer Bobby Blotzer Talks a little dirt.

[@greggd2027]

I met Bobby a few years back. Of all places, it was at a desert hot spring. I was with my group of friends, he was with his fiancee and their friends. I didn't recognize him right away. We were all just hanging out at the springs and having a few beers. He and I got to talking.. told him about my days as a bouncer in a nightclub.. all the women, the bar fights, the after parties etc.. then he told me stories about playing clubs in the 80s and all the crazy shit that happened. We talked like old friends for a good half hour. Then I noticed the Ratt dog tag he was wearing. I complemented him for it, told him how much I liked Ratt in the 80s. Then he told me who he is. I was so blown away. He was super chill, respectful and cool. He told me a bit about his outlook on life.. he definitely seemed to appreciate the business aspect of being a rock star as much as having fun with it. Very well balanced. That's my experience with Bobby. I was very impressed

@@godwillguideme.3773 Uh, that is exactly what he did: "In September 2015, Blotzer announced that he had taken control of the Ratt brand and would take his band on tour in 2016 using the Ratt name. However, within days, Warren DeMartini spoke out against Blotzer using the name, as he owns half of the Ratt name as part of WBS, Inc., the company owned by him and Blotzer. Blotzer claimed he has the legal right to go on tour using the name, as DeMartini breached his fiduciary duty by refusing to tour under the Ratt name as a partner in the corporation. In October 2015, DeMartini sued Blotzer for falsely advertising his "tribute band" as the real thing. In November 2015, DeMartini's attempt to procure an injunction to prevent Blotzer from using and touring under the Ratt trademark was overturned, allowing Blotzer to tour using the name Ratt."

I have watched bands break up, burn down, Sue each other in court etc for more than four decades. Meanwhile the public is like, just give us the music we liked when you started this whole thing up. Give us the original band members the way we want it. The band's right to conduct their own business, is their business and not the listening public. However I think it becomes more about the band and less about the fans as the years go by. Pitiful but it happens to many of them. Meanwhile, all of the band members are exceptionally talented individuals appreciated by all of us... so much time and money is wasted by all of the bickering fighting and breakdowns.

They were awesome but they weren't Heavy Metal. They were Big Rock like Michael Anthony of Van Halen said what classification VH was in.

[@espo6970]

All that 80's shit hair metal was just commercial pop rock, it wasn't real music. Madonna, new kids on the block and hair metal, all the same shit. They were the only generation of bands that were all in their 30's when we first saw them They were musicians that didnt make it in the 70's and should've gotten jobs by the 80's but MTV ( which ruined music and brought us hair metal and rap) needed something to show us on their new channel so we got stuck with untalented guys in their 30's singing to junior high schoolers. What a pathetic era, so embarrassed to have been there

[@irocitZ]

The term "hair metal" never existed in the heyday, I'm pretty certian some grunge era music critic started that. Also, I wouldn't be able to figure out the difference between some of those 80's Metal bands so I always just called it Heavy Metal. Obviously, I realize the difference between Slayer & Pretty Boy Floyd but some of the bands crossed over at times. One thing I'm pretty sure about is, the back & forth bickering that used to give me a headache over which style of Metal was better made it easy to transition into what was a pretty boring decade that followed the 80's.

Seems like they were kind of like that. They were the second act in front of Motley Crue with Accept being the first band to hit the stage on City Island in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when they first toured nationwide. They sounded really good and I was impressed. But I’ve heard them at different other times during the 80’s and one they would sound absolutely awful, next time great, another mediocre. I could never figure that out. I’d say the partying had a lot to do with it. When they were bad, the timing would be all off, Stephen would take liberties on the vocals and it would throw everything off.

Well maybe they should consult you before they go shopping for clothes. You can tell everybody what they can wear.

RATT was started by Pearcy and Crosby, how did Blotzer end up owning part of the name with Warren?

[@frankgonzalez1631]

To answer your question on that thought I believe there was a time where Stephen pearcy almost lost total ownership the trademark Ratt.. Bobby and Dee Warren jump into the picture saved it from being owned by music label.. so the story goes as Mr Stephen pearcy did something without the knowledge of the band..

[@acefromspace2727]

Bobby did not get songwriting credit for any of the hits so he made a lot less money than Stephen and Warren. That’s why Bobby needed to tour.

[@frankcalderon4710]

Rock on Bobby. Now that I know the story I'm glad you are doing your thing. I would go see you and the RATT Experience. Why do bands not stay together?

[@thedude7099]

Same reason marriages dont last, egos, money, personality conflicts. You litteraly live with 3 -5 guys for mnths, farting , belching, pissing , eating , stinking , and arguing in close proximity.

I have a signed pair of sticks from him that I got from a Ratt concert I went to at 8. He always seemed like a good dude. Hopefully him and Stephen will play together again some day
