RATT RIP-OFF
Bobby Blotzer’s bass drum heads stolen, reward offered
Facebook — Amongst our rock n’ roll community we have a thief. What a shame, shame, shame! Are you a wanted man? If so, it’s time to lay it down if you’re holding out.
Maybe you will have a slip of the lip and soon be givin’ yourself away. Either way, we know that someone is the thief, and if you are that person, there is a good chance you’re in trouble.
To anyone reading this, especially in Florida, maybe you can help find them. If so, you could have some reward money sent in your direction.
Okay, enough sillyness with the RATT titles.
According to a Facebook posting on the official Ratt page, Bobby Blotzer has been ripped off.
It seems someone stole Blotzer’s bass drum heads he used at the band’s recent Florida gig. No one likes a thief and no one likes to be taken advantage of like this. Karma finds people, and soon it will find the person who decided to lift these from the band.
A reward is being offered for any information leading to their return.
As we all know RATT has recently went through some major line-up changes and legal brawling within the camp.
Blotzer the (current) band’s only original member has warded off two attempts to stop him from touring as RATT. Blotzer’s equal share partner guitarist Warren DeMartini in the WBS Inc company that owns and controls RATT has tried unsuceesfully to stop the trademarked band/brand from touring.
Blotzer launched his project earlier this year calling it Bobby Blotzer’s Ratt Experience. Which according to his actions, seemed to have been ‘okay’ with DeMartini. But after a handful of succesful dates the side-project morphed into the official RATT at Blotzer’s direction which cause DeMartini to take swift legal action.
Blotzer with his recent victories in a Los Angeles courtroom is allowed to continue on as RATT for now.
Their next show is Sunday November 29th 2015 at “Vinyl” (inside Hard Rock Hotel) in Las Vegas.
The date also features Firehouse, The Baby’s and Eric Martin of Mr Big.
