uth — Guitarist Erik Ferentinos, who has played with RATT singer Stephen Pearcy for nearly two decades, says that RATT fans shouldn’t expect much activity from the band in 2021. “I think [Stephen] may be pausing the RATT thing this coming year and he’s gonna go solo,” Erik said during an appearance on “The Classic Metal Show” (hear audio below). “And I don’t know — maybe we’ll see a reunion with the real dudes, which is what I think they should do,” he added, apparently referring to a potential reunion of all the surviving members of RATT‘s classic lineup. “They’re not getting any younger.”

According to Ferentinos, Pearcy will “go back out and play solo shows in 2021” whether the coronavirus crisis has subsided or not.

“We’re more accustomed to doing smaller [shows] anyway, and that’s pretty much all we’re gonna hope to get involved with,” he explained. “Potentially maybe some drive-in stuff in the spring… But we wanna play, and people wanna see shows. We’ll take whatever we can get, as far as getting out there. I’m just happy that [Stephen] is willing to go out at his age — he’s in his 60s and he’s not scared to go out there and play. He’s chomping at the bit to get out, and I like that. So we’re definitely planning on doing shows. We’re gonna do a record.”

Pearcy and bassist Juan Croucier are the sole remaining original members in RATT‘s current lineup, which made its live debut in July 2018 in Mulvane, Kansas. Joining them in the band are drummer Pete Holmes (BLACK ‘N BLUE, RATT’S JUAN CROUCIER) and guitarist Jordan Ziff (RAZER).
