Looks Like Juan Croucier Will Join RATT At M3

Did hell freeze over? According to Bravewords, bassist Juan Crocier will perform with RATT at the M3 music festival next month in Columbia, Maryland.
You might recall that bassist Robbie Crane quit RATT about a month ago.
So does this mean Juan is officially back in the band? Or will the M3 gig be a trial run? There seems to be a lot of hatchets to bury between the guys in RATT and Juan, but I wish them well. I think it would be great if Juan joins the band again. Thoughts?

One off or long term, this will be interesting if for no other reason than the dynamics in the band. I hope Ratt can continue to build off the success of _Infestation_.
As former lead guitarist of Quiet Riot and now firmly established second guitarist (in title only) in Ratt, Cavazo gives DiMartini a run (quite literally) for his money every night. AND he even writes songs, having contributed to "Infestation".
Kudos to all concerned for getting Crocier back. Axl take note. Just as was possible for G'n'R the other night, for all intensive purposes, "Ratt Classic" is back.
As Pearcy had mentioned to Chump on "That Metal Show" last season, the band has been writing and recording a follow up to "Infestation". Let's hope Crocier gets in on it, too, as it's more than apparent, based on his first round with Ratt, he can more than well contribute his fair share to that process.
As long as Pearcy duzn't go through the motions as he's been known to do in the past, ya got a REAL potential festival stealer here.
A lot of questions here... We will have to wait for the answers.
I guess I'm the only one who thinks that this isn't that big or a deal.
Jimbo! You didn't hear me questioning your intel. It seemed like common sense to me.
Look, people mellow. Crocier will be glad to be back and so will Ratt be glad to have him back! And Croucier will be happy to play whatever they choose to play off "Infestation".
Crane's great but ya gotta go with as many original members as you can, if the opportunity presents itself, so it's great to see all parties worked it out to make it happen.
Welcome back Ratt!
All metal bands of the 80's need to get their heads outta ass and figure out the cash cow is in doing WHAT MADE THEM FAMOUS. Not much time left, gang.
Ratt leads the pack.
rock on, muthaphucks
