[@okbassguy]

Tommy Rat! An absolute gem of a person. Proud to have shared the stage alongside you, Jason Carter and Sammy in This Means War.

[@lowriderskin]

Tommy Rat was there before anybody was there. Roger AF said it. Great interview. Great that Tommy has a No Turning Back from The Netherlands tattoo!

[@chrisnjhardcore]

Great dude,one of the early brick layers that created the foundation of what we know as NYHC,very humble as he flies under the radar of most,respect too Tommy The Rat!!

[@jayonez137]

Man. Tommy is one of the first cats I can definitively remember at the first NYHC show i went to in 1986

[@radzo1675]

"Stay as clean as possible." So much more realistic than "DON'T DO DRUGS!". This is a wise man, he knows we're all human.

[@KMc-cw3qt]

30 years ago it freaked me out that Rat could remember every second of every show he ever saw. Not surprised he still remembers everything. So glad I got to know him and play with him (Trip6). F*cking inspiration, then and now.

[@1964bropar]

Pulled community service in Union Square Park and Tommy was the boss. He let me go a half day early. Thanks Tommy!

[@erichughes1166]

Yes! Finally! Long live Tommy Rat! A man with a Truely good soul
