Ratt unveiled its new lineup Saturday night (July 7) in Kansas at the Kansas Star Casino featuring singer Stephen Pearcy and bassist Juan Croucier as the sole original members.

On Ratt’s next release, 1988’s Reach For The Sky, a union with ex-Queen producer Mike Stone seemed promising. However, Stone was fired before the sessions wrapped and Beau Hill was reinstated.

When Ratt came crawling Out of the Cellar with their debut on March 27, 1984, that title may as well have spoken for an entire generation of brash, ambitious wannabe stars.

Ratt resumed touring in 2018, but was derailed by knee problems that left Pearcy unable to move well, or even stand, on stage, and saw him sometimes overcoming pain with too much alcohol.

Ratt’s lead-guitar duo, Warren DeMartini and the late Robbin Crosby, was one of the era’s best. Bobby Blotzer brought hip-shaker haymakers and one of rock’s great drummer names to the mix.
