Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy has released the following statement:
“After 30 years creating the band Ratt and losing a real brother, Robbin, it’s time that I personally part ways with the band.
I am officially done with having anything to do with them due to the constant turmoil, unresolved business, personal attacks/threats in the public forum, and most of all, the disrespect to the fans.
I’m very content and proud of the legacy and the music I’ve created. This music will live well beyond any of our lifetimes.
I owe no one anything but a huge heartfelt thank you for coming to the party for the last 30 years.
With much respect, life goes on and the music I created will continue to be heard for years to come despite the dark clouds that have lingered for far too long.
I will personally continue to make music and perform live shows.
See you out there.
Sincerely,
SEPearcy”
Ratt’s last album was 2010′s Infestation.

Who gives a shit?
Well said.
Saw you in the late 80’s when you and Poison ran together….Out of the Cellar is still one of my favorite all timealbums…Round and Round will never die
Eric,
I saw that tour too. I believe Ratt was touring in support of Dancing Undercover and Poison for Open Up and Say Ahh…. Funny thing, while I really like Ratt a lot, I cannot remember their performance at all, but I do remember Poison, odd…

I saw the Ratt/Poison concert in Dallas. Poison put on a great show but RATT just looked bored. They made me want to sleep.
It is for Stephen’s own good! Bobby should have been sacked decades ago! Out of all the drummers demoing with bands in the early 80s, surely someone could have been picked up instead!
Congrats SEPearcy. it takes a true man to do this.
