In a recent interview with Anthony Bryant of The Hair Metal Guru, former RATT drummer Bobby Blotzer was asked about the possibility of the band's classic lineup reuniting to support MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE on their upcoming summer tour.
Blotzer responded, “I heard that from people\u2026” and acknowledged that he had seen Nikki Sixx's social media post discussing the idea.
Blotzer expressed his desire for a reunion, stating, “I want a reunion...
We want a reunion\u2026 If it happens, it happens.
If not\u202f I don't need a job.\u202f However, he also acknowledged that some members of RATT are not motivated by the idea of performing again, citing Warren DeMartini's apparent disinterest.
The drummer went on to discuss his own experiences with legal disputes and litigation within RATT, stating that it had taken the life out of him.
He emphasized the importance of having a leader in a band, suggesting that MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE's success is due in part to Nikki Sixx's leadership.
Blotzer also reflected on RATT's history and their impact on rock music.
When asked about his theory on why RATT hasn't been able to come back together for a tour despite the band's massive commercial success, Blotzer replied that he thinks it's because “you can't be a democracy in a band\u202f It doesn't work.\u202f You've got too many people voting.\u202f The interview concluded with Blotzer discussing his personal life and creative endeavors.
He emphasized the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision, stating that he hopes to continue rocking out for years to come.
Blotzer also spoke about his relationship with RATT singer Stephen Pearcy, revealing that they have been trying to put together a reunion for two years but have not yet had any success.
The drummer acknowledged that Pearcy is still active in the music scene and continues to perform with his solo band.
The interview ended on a hopeful note, with Blotzer expressing his desire to reunite with RATT's classic lineup and continue performing for their fans.”
