07:17  “THE ATLANTIC YEARS” DETAILS
RECAPPED IN FURTHER DETAIL
09:30  BOBBY BLOTZER OF RATT ON THE PHONE

10:30  WILL THIS RELEASE PUT RATT BACK ON
STAGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
 BLOTZER STATES THAT LITIGATION IS
OVER AND “EVERYBODY SHOULD JUST BRUSH IT OFF”  RATT SHOULD “SHAKE THEIR BUTTS, MAKE SOME
MONEY, MAKE THE PEOPLE HAPPY”

12:00  BLOTZER AND STEVE (STEPHEN PEARCY)
“TALK ABOUT IT (A REUNION) ALL OF THE TIME, TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF WARREN
(DEMARTINI)”. 
HE MENTIONS A POTENTIAL MANAGER/ADVERSARY THAT HAS REACHED WARREN BY
PHONE. 

BLOTZER STATES THAT PEACY AND JUAN (CROUCIER) “HAVE SOME SLOPPY ENDS TO TIE
UP” BEFORE MORE HAPPENS
“IT HAS TO HAPPEN THOUGH”

13:00  IF IT DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH THIS RELEASE, IT
COULD HAPPEN IN 2024 AS IT’S TOO LATE IN THE YEAR TO MOUNT A TOUR.  “NEXT YEAR IS 40 YEARS SINCE (OUT OF THE)
CELLAR CAME OUT”

“I FEEL LIKE IT’S INEVITABLE, THE FANS WANT TO SEE THIS OUTFIT ONE MORE TIME
OUT THERE”

13:50  ON MOTLEY CRUE: “RATT’S
ALWAYS CRUSHED MOTLEY MUSICALLY”
“THEY GOT
MORE PRESS, MOVIE STARS, EXPLICIT SEX, MURDERS AND SHIT, ALWAYS IN THE MAGAZINES”. 

“I DON’T THINK THEY WANT TO GO TOE TO TOE WITH US”
14:20  WE DISCUSS HOW MOTLEY CRUE USED “DRAMA” TO
THEIR ADVANTAGE, HOW JOURNEY IS TOURING WHILE 2 MEMBERS ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
DUELING LAWSUITS, THE SINGER “IS WAITING TO GET FIRED” YET RATT CAN’T “GET IT
TOGETHER”. 
I ASK: IS IT LACK OF
PROPER MANAGEMENT THAT ALLOWED THIS STATE OF “RATT” TO EXIST?

BLOTZER COMMENTS ON REGRETS OF “AIRING DIRTY LAUNDRY” ON THE INTERNET WHILE STILL FEELING THE
NEED TO EXPRESS THAT IT ISN’T REASONABLE TO THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BAND (IE; WHEN
PEARCY QUIT THE BAND).  “IN HINDSIGHT, I WISHED I’D NOT
SPOKEN UP”.

HE ALSO TALKS
ABOUT NOTABLE LAWSUITS WITH BANDS LIKE THE RASCALS, MARK FARNER/GRAND FUNK RAILROAD
AND JOURNEY.

“IT’S A JOKE”
SOME OF
THESE GUYS (THE RASCALS) ARE ON THEIR DEATH BED (IN THEIR 80’S WITH PENDING
LITIGATION)”

17:00  THE ISSUES/LAWSUITS/DRAMA HAS “TAKEN THE LIFE OUT OF ME AS FAR
AS THE LOVE OF THE GAME” ON IF HE COULD PUT TOGETHER AN ALTERNATE
PROJECT WITH OTHER PLAYERS.

WHAT IT (THE LAWSUITS) COSTS IN YOUR SPIRIT,
IN YOUR HEART, AND IN YOUR SOUL.

17:38  “RIGHT NOW, I’M KIND OF RETIRED, I KNOW I CAN GO OUT AND
ROCK AND TOUR AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE WITH RATT”.

WE HAD A 1.25 MILLION DOLLAR OFFER TO OPEN A NEW ARENA, EVERYBODY TURNED IT DOWN.  THESE ARE THE DECISIONS THAT CHIP AWAY AT THE
INFRASTUCTURE OF DOING BUSINESS.

“I DON’T HAVE ANY MORE GRUDGES, IT’S
NOT HEALTHY,
I DO LOVE RATT, I DO LOVE THE GUYS”.

18:45  “I DON’T KNOW WHY WE CAN’T DO IT (REUNITE)
WHEN OTHER BANDS MORE DISFUCTIONAL LIKE A MOTLEY CRUE”, (CAN REUNITE AND
CONTINUE)

19:04  “YOU CAN’T BE A DEMOCRACY IN A BAND, YOU NEED A LEADER”

(AND REFERS TO NIKKI SIXX LEADING THE CHARGE W/ ALAN KOVAC. 
“THOSE TWO LEAD THE CHARGE”.

20:12  I FOLLOW UP ON THE 1.25 MILLION
DOLLAR OFFER AND ASK THAT IF THAT ISN’T MOTIVATION, WHAT COULD BE GETTING IN THE WAY OF REUNITING IN SOME
WAY SHAPE OR FORM (WHETHER A ONE OFF, FESTIVAL OR TOUR)?

BLOTZER STATES
THAT WARREN HAS RECENTLY BEEN “WILLING TO GET IN AND LISTEN” BUT HE
HEARS FROM OTHER’S THAT “HE’S DONE”

22:11  “WE MAKE GOOD MONEY SITTING ON
OUR ASSES AT HOME”
“IT MIGHT BE THE FEAR FACTOR” (THE PREVENTS A REUNION)

23:40  I ASK IF BOBBY HAS ANY REGRETS GOING
OUT AS “RATT” IN 2016/2017 WHICH FOLLOWED WITH VARIOUS LAWSUITS.

HE ACKNOWLEDGES IT WAS A FACTOR AND ALSO NOTES A “CHANGE IN POWER” WHEN
WARREN DEMARTINI WAS ALSO VOTED OUT. 

REGARDING REUNION
POSSIBILITIES:
“IT’S GONNA HAPPEN I THINK, NEXT WOULD BE THE YEAR”

26:00  ON DOING OTHER PROJEC
