On Septmber 23rd, original Ratt drummer Bobby Blotzer and his new incarnation of the band performed at Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in Hampton, New Hampshire. The band line-up includes vocalist Josh Alan, guitarist Mitch Perry (MSG, Lita Ford, Talas), guitarist Stacey Blades (L.A. Guns), and bassist Brad Lang (Y&T). Fan-filmed video can be viewed below.
Speaking with metal guru and radio host Eddie Trunk back in August, Blotzer addressed the latest news of his version of Ratt, band members leaving, Blotzer leaving the stage after three songs during a recent show, the multitude of lawsuits currently ripping the band name to shreds, issues with Warren DeMartini, Don Dokken, and a recent photo of the other four members of the classic Ratt line-up.
On October 1st, original Ratt members Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Warren DiMartini (guitars) and Juan Croucier (bass) reunited aboard the Monsters Of Rock Cruise West, which was completely unexpected by those in attendance, and performed a set of Ratt classics. They were backed by Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo, who played on the Infestation album from 2010, and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (Y&T, Megadeth).
Fan-filmed video of the band performing has been trickling in; check out newly uploaded footage of "You're In Love". Previously released clips of "Round And Round" and "Wanted Man" are also available.
