“It would be insane to have MÖTLEY and RATT go out. That would be a great double bill, for sure. People would love to see that.”
— Bobby Blotzer / former Ratt drummer
THE HAIR METAL GURU — Bobby Blotzer was a recent guest on The Hair Metal Guru and the former Ratt drummer gives listeners a near 90 minutes of his world, past, present and his hopes for the future.
Blotzer‘s interview withThe Hair Metal Guru is apparently his first in 5 years and they cover a lot of subjects.
Guru says the following about Blotzer‘s interview: “In his first interview in 5 years, originalRATT drummer Bobby Blotzer opens up about the band’s past, the legal battles, and whether there’s still a chance for one final run.
We dive into everything–from the glory years of the ’80s to the lawsuits and lineup turmoil to the sad ending of Robbin Crosby to the possibility of RATT reuniting to say goodbye to the fans the right way. Is a final chapter still possible?“
If you’re a RATT fan, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss… and thank you so much to Bobby for coming on for his first interview in so many years.”
Our friends over at Blabbermouth have also reported on this recent interview and have shared the following: “In a new interview with Anthony Bryant of The Hair Metal Guru, former RATT drummer Bobby Blotzer was asked if there is any truth to rumors that the band’s classic lineup was approached to support MÖTLEY CRÜE on the latter act’s upcoming summer 2026 “The Return Of Carnival Of Sins” tour. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I heard that from people. I think I saw something Nikki [Sixx, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist] wrote [on social media] — I can’t remember — he’s going, ‘Yeah, we’re trying to get bands [to join us on tour]. We’re going round and round and round.’ And if that’s not a direct, like, ‘Get your shit together or fuck off’ to RATT, I don’t know what is. But that is a ticket that needs to happen, I think.”
Bobby continued: “I don’t know, man. I’m not friends with those guys anymore — for no reason other than everybody’s gone different ways. But it would be insane to have MÖTLEY and RATT go out. That would be a great double bill, for sure. People would love to see that.”
After Bryant noted that it “seems pretty obvious” that Blotzer wants “one more go-around to see all the RATT fans,” Bobby said: “Absolutely. Yeah, man. I need it. It’s closure. I wanna say goodbye to the fans [who gave us] so much for so long. I just — I wouldn’t say ‘celebrated’, but last week was 44 years since I joined RATT, and that’s when my son was born. He was one month old when I officially joined RATT March 12th of ’82.”
