Thats great news can't wait to see Ratt!

I agree Mike I sure hope I can get my act together and go to this I love Ratt! I heard Stephen Pearcy is a real jerk to his fans anyone ever met him?

I've met him.  I'll bet most people haven't taken the time to meet him more than once. "Jerk" is probably the nicest thing he's been called. I stood in line for a meet and greet. Didn't even bother to look at you. I had a cap signed by all the members of Ratt. Pearcy just looked sideways the whole time, hands you back the cap like you're bothering him.  Its a good thing he used to have a good voice, b/c he's a turd to his fans.  He came to San Antonio for South Texas Rockfest last summer.Called us El Paso for 30 minutes before he figured out where he was. Totally embarrassing. His voice sounded like crap. For some reason he was doing heading out to the highway by Priest.  Sounded like crap, and for the high notes he would hold the mike out to the crowd - not because he cared about the crowd, b/c he was butchering the song and couldn't hit the notes on the song he picked.  His voice better get a whole lot better, or he better develop a much better personality.

the only cool guy in ratt was robbie crane, my son and i have met him on several occasions and 1. he remembered my son and 2. he took time to teach him a couple things.. couldnt have been nicer. pearcy and the rest of ratt are jerks.. they think there these big rockstars who are still relevent .. we were treated to a lecture at one show on how little people were there. nice. i bet juan wont stick around for long.

I met Ratt when Jizzy Pearl was singing for them, and John Corabi was playing rythym guitar. I thought the rest of the band was pretty cool. Especially Warren DeMartini and Robbie Crane. 

Warren took the time to talk to my friends and I for about 40 minutes or so. Told me a lot of personal issues the band had with Pearcy and why he wasn't in the band any longer. One of the biggest issues was Pearcy's affection for Marijuana. He said Pearcy would be hitting his pipe right before he would take the stage. I like to get high, but not enough to get in the way of my performances.

I also met Pearcy a couple of times, and he was actually cool on one occasion, and super cool on the 2 other times I met him. I guess everyone has bad days, and who knows...he could have had some serious personal issue right before some of you who met him and found him uninviting to make him behave in such a fashion. I'm not defending him, but I am pointing out that rock stars are people just like you and myself.

Percy's been really nice to me before. NOTHING but love for this band. I've seen them 6 times in the last 5 years. ALWAYS, ALWAYS great. Never a doubt.

I actually thought Stephen was pretty cool.  Met him several times and kinda hung out with him and the boys from Ratt while on the Motley Cruise at Margaritaville.  Never had a problem with him. 

Alot of it depends on how and when you approach them.

Pearcy was on Trunks' show last night and confirmed that they spent all day Sunday rehearsing with Juan and it "sounded great"! He also said they are adding songs to showcase Juans' backing vocals again. So pumped for the show! 

this is AWESOME!  as close to the original line-up as humanly possible.

Very cool!!! I can't wait to see Ratt now. But is Juan back full time or just for M3?

Ratt seems to really not like each other at all and just do it for the paycheck, kinda sucks, especially when you're music is supposed to be about partying and having a good time.  Will be good to see Juan though, even if only for a couple shows (if it even comes to that).   Stephen has always been cool to me, just never a big kiss ass.
