“Now you’ll have members former members going out and playing their version of it which is OK but when you get the dancing Cuban bear, then you need popcorn and videos.”
— Bobby Blotzer on Juan Croucier performing with his ‘Juan Croucier the Other Voice of Ratt’ project
Metal Sludge — Ratt bassist Juan Croucier has just announced a handful of summer appearances for his ‘Juan Croucier the Other Voice of Ratt‘ touring band.
Croucier has announced a 3 date weekend in Texas with shows on July 25th, 26th & 27th 2024 along with a show early next month in St. Charles, Illinois. (see all dates below)
Just like clock-work, former Ratt drummer Bobby Blotzer has chimed in on social media with some less than friendly comments about the bassist and some of his perspective on what the state of Ratt is in current day.
Blotzer‘s comments shared below (as transcribed by Sleazeroxx) were on the drummer’s Facebook page and read accordingly.
To be clear, the spelling, and related is all Blotzer.
“…there’s no Ratt with anybody Warren just won’t answer anybody’s call, but whether he wants to go and do a reunion farewell tour 1 and Stephen are in battles and Stephen or Buddy up. We want to go over and roll but a very selective band that would include Warren one probably not he’s just too much of a troublemaker. Yes I went out and did this. I had a fucking great band too OK and we did very much honor to the, integrity in performing the Ratt catalog”
“Is no Ratt except for what you get in the catalog now you’ll have members former members going out and playing their version of it which is OK but when you get the dancing Cuban bear, then you need popcorn and videos”
“Also, one thing I have love for all the guys and Wrap their brothers but they’re some are goofy brothers wants a very destructive force. He instantly pulled that when we thought we were worn and Stephen brought him bag of 2012 I told them he’s gonna bloody shit up and break the band up a loss to see what’s going on so they have it. Maybe I’ll talk about this true story somebody or I’ll send them from my next book.” – Bobby Blotzer.
