Stephen Pearcy - Candid Interview with King of Ratt n Roll - NYE 2017 with music host Cathy Rankin

In a classic interview from the archives, Cathy Rankin sits down with rock frontman, Stephen Pearcy, on New Year's Eve 2017 during his concert tour to discuss his solo music and career outside of Ratt. They discuss interesting details you might not know from his life growing up....this is not your typical interview about sex, drugs and rock and roll, but a more personal conversation to get to know what drives the man behind Ratt and Roll...an interesting interview with a very unique personality, for music fans who enjoy a more personal glimpse into rock and roll's most iconic singers and players. We're excited to let you know that since this tour, Stephen is still rockin' on and doing great, and we wish him the best - please be respectful in your comments, hateful speech is not tolerated.

Ratt was my introduction to 80's 🤘🤘🤘 I was hooked when I heard Round and Round and I immediately got Out of the Cellar and I wasn't able to do much as a kid as I'm handicap with a brittle bone disease so my childhood was indoors and bedrest but I remember listening to that cassette over and over and of course I had to get tons of other bands but that album helped me through some hard times. For being handicap and my childhood was the hardest but luckily I had great music and MTV had Headbangers Ball!! Tv and video games truly helped me. 80's ruled!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Pearcy looks rough but he been through a lot of traumas in his life. So considering this, he’s good. I’m glad he’s survived. Robin Crosby didn’t and succumbed to his drug addiction. Pearcy had both his legs broken by a driver years ago and then now has had both knee replacements. That’s no joke recovering from those issues. I loved Ratt and saw them live years ago on a double bill with Aerosmith as the headliners. I actually preferred Ratt back then. They were new and sounded better to me. But Tyler and Perry have held up much better. Everyone is different so it’s understandable. Good Interview!

Cathy, I would love to see you interview Jack Russell or Aldo Nova, but I don’t know how you choose who you interview. Is there a criteria?

[@CathyRankinEntertainment]

We almost did an interview Jack Russell, but unfortunately we couldn't get the logistics to work. Many of my music interviews were done in partnership with a venue in Arizona that would have regular concerts, so all the artists that came through could interview if they chose to. Unfortunately due to COVID, the venue shut down and the property was sold. However, I am working on some other projects that hopefully will enable me to get some new music interviews in 2023. Its not an easy process because you have to work with the artists Publicist or Manager, and sometimes their label, to get agreement for the interview, and then you have to work around their schedule and logistics, as well as make sure you have an appropriate place and camera setup/crew for the interview. A lot of moving parts!
