What a shame that a great drummer and guitar player have become a parody of everything that is wrong with "pomp" rock......too bad really ....after they got rid of ol' snarl voice they had the chance to move upward and onward......jizzy pearl?.......who cares!!!!!!......is that the best two great player can get?.....jizzy pearl may be the greatest thing since robert plant but what's the point..........it's like marrying a pamela desbarres or the plaster caster...why bother?.......they would have been better off looking through all of the ratt tribute bands and grabbing a singer like judas priest did...at least that way when you went to see them you could get your rocks off of the old stuff ...or how about this guys.......bring in somebody from left field and change the entire direction...somebody who can still sing the old stuff but breath some new life in the fucking thing....instead of going for the easy lay why not try to get a hold of a victoria secrets model ....you know set your sights a little higher..as a fan that owns every ratt cd up to detonator i am very dissapointed...........i love demartinis guitar and the grooves on those old cd's are as cool as aerosmith but what the fuck are they thinking????,,,,,,,,,,it is sad to read about the state of this music i love and then see the definition of "stale" printed a few paragraphs later......someone please save rock and roll.............and hurry............our children need you...........jl.....(this is my opinion as a fan of ratt and admirer of demartinis riffs and leads, do please do not attack me as an artist because i have retired...lol..)http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,2968#msg-2968Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:38:54 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,3144#msg-3144 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,3144#msg-3144
I see what you are saying....What they are doing is a 6 week tour to see how they mesh together as a group. If all goes well, you could see this as the permanent thing. ]]> mike NoticeboardFri, 14 Jul 2000 03:15:45 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,3115#msg-3115 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,3115#msg-3115I don't think it's a bad line-up. In fact I think it is a real improvement. But the problem I have with it is that it is obviously just a temporary thing, and then they will either break-up again or bring someone else in. It's a vicious circle.
I was hoping they would hold on to Robert Mason. He is tremendous. He could possibly breathe new life into a tired Ratt scene.

so what you are saying is that the DAMN YANKEES line up sucks too!!!!

I think that this line up of RATT will rock.....give it a chance we all might be surprised]]> mike NoticeboardThu, 13 Jul 2000 04:56:51 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,2989#msg-2989 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2968,2989#msg-2989Further to my opinions on the changing US market, stuff like this is NOT going to help, nor is putting side bands together mixed from 3 other bands....ie. the Blades/Blotzer/Jack Russell thing....

New bands, new tunes, or classic bands/classic tunes please!!

See ya,
