RATT frontman Stephen Pearcy recently made an appearance on the latest episode of “Waste Some Time With Jason Green”, and was asked if there was any chance of the four surviving members of RATT’s classic lineup reuniting.

Stephen responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Right now, for the next who knows how long, I doubt [it]. But hey, I’ve opened the door. The band RATT will not record a record [unless it’s with the original guys]. I would love everybody to be involved.

“But you know what? Let’s take a step back here, kids,” he continued. “First of all, I said it a long time ago, and I don’t know if people get this or not, unfortunately, when Robbin [Crosby, late RATT guitarist] was not in the scene and he was going through his trip and then he wasn’t even in the band, that was, to me — I hate to say it — the end of that era. To have us hang around that long — ‘Oh, another platinum record’; ‘Oh, another platinum record’ — it’s just mind-blowing. ‘Oh, you’ve gotta do another reunion tour.’ ‘You’ve gotta do a record.’ I mean, we self-imploded a long time ago, man.

“My point is we can go through the motions,” Pearcy added. We can have great guitar players. No disrespect to any of these players — we’ve had great guys, and that’s all great — but, to me, RATT is not RATT without Robbin. And not even money is gonna make me believe any different. I’d rather go out and do my [solo] thing and get off on that. But is there any chance [of the original guys getting back together]? Well, who knows? I mean, look, I would love it. It would be great — one last rodeo — but, look, man, I don’t sit around waiting for anybody, number one. And number two, do you really wanna present what you did in ’84 37, [3]8 years later? We’re lucky to be alive. But the fact that we are, it would be great. And you guys out there, no disrespect, man — I fucking love playing our songs any chance I can get, but I’ve got other fish to fry. If I can’t get off, you’re sure as hell not gonna get off. But we’ll see, man… It’s not up to me. All I can do is say the door is open.”

The surviving members of the classic RATT lineup are singer Stephen Pearcy, bassist Juan Croucier, guitarist Warren DeMartini and drummer Bobby Blotzer.

RATT have not released any new music since 2010’s “Infestation” LP.
