In response to singer Stephen Pearcy’s announcement that he has quit Ratt, drummer Bobby Blotzer has released his own statement.
“To our/my Ratt fans and friends… I will say to you guys, I am sorry that I brought you guys into our personal world and turbulation. I’ve been so personally driven to a breaking point with our band being held hostage every year, that I’ve kind of been snapping. I wish we were still all four together and doing business as great as we have been doing. Especially last year. This is why its so nonsensical to me to have this disruption in a business we’ve built for the last 33 years.”
“Reality sits at, Stephen and I have gotten along since his return in ’07,” continued Blotzer. “Aside from the fact that he basically quits every year. It’s been hard to deal with. I feel bad that I might have put a dividing line out here, and for that I’m feeling bad about and I to a certain level feel the need to apologize to YOU Guys. My words were true, but the words should have stayed in my mind. And again I state that, I was only kidding about this picture thing with Steve, dumb joke. You ever done that? Exactly. When this news popped today, my phone was blowing up all day while I was trying to enjoy an afternoon with friends and I just lost it. I was going to come home and tear into that release line by line. I read your thoughts and realized that it’s time to shut the f**k up. As hard as that feels because we, the 4 other guys in this band did nothing to merit this whole behavior from Stephen.”
Ratt’s last album was 2010′s Infestation.

Blotz: “20% that’s it”. Adios. Both in the old bars now. 19,000 to an old bar in Harrisburg.
Thank you to the very attractive “Rob” for sharing this factual knowledge with crowd here at Wayne’s World’s website. Without KISS Wayne’s World would not exist not to mention the careers that spawned for the actors in that film. As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t for my incredible role in the massive mega hit movie “Runaway,” many of your favorite actors & actresses would be pumping gas into your vehicles at Swifty. Did I mention I created gas (including flatulence)? “Rob,” I have trademarked the names KISS, Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons. Every time you post on here using any of our names, you owe me royalties (this also includes when you think of me or fantasize about Shannon and for every breath you take of the air I created).
Your using my name too….
Lol awesome
The KISS bashing was two weeks ago. Maybe come up with something different for once in your life. Rehashing the same shit that was said 400 times earlier is not what I’d call creative genius, Genius.
Ratt should have made more ratt tee shirts , ratt coffins ratt action figures ect.
They would have..if there was a demand for them..lol…I seen ratt a few years back..they were good..they were charging $40 for a tshirt….I cant qualify spending $40 on a shirt when I dont own $40 worth of ratt albums..lol
Laugh my fucking ass off….so much for the “memo” shit……..Joe in The Cuse …..
You wouldn’t get a laugh at a bad open mic. Go upstais now, your mom just cut the crust off your PBJ.
Maybe Jizzy Pearl can play double duty? The trouble with these egos is they don’t realize they are not much without the other members. And even when together they are not much more then a traveling Club band. Perfect example is Skid Row. The band seems to be happy with heading from club to club and occasional festivals. Sebastian Bach acts like if he was in Skid Row they would be hitting the arenas, but even by himself he plays clubs and maybe the occasional theater and festival. Its unfortunate but the crowd who grew up with these bands no longer go to clubs. The new fan base just isn’t there to grow with the bands because they see them more as a nostalgia band and if your young and enjoy these bands you can’t see them at a club because most of these shows are 21+.
Hey gene good to see your up too your old tricks again..by the way i think you owe me royalties.all of us drummers should stick together..rock on bobby blotz!!
Paul Stanley called…he said Stephen was kicked out of the band because he’s an anti-semite.
Classic!!! LMFAO!!!
