Poor Bobby Blotzer... Now This

Guitarist Nicholas "Blaze" Baum has left Bobby Blotzer's RATT. The departure was apparently very abrupt. The band has scrambled to replace Baum as they are in the middle of a tour.

Clearly everything isn't perfect in the Blozter camp these days, but Bobby says the band is soldiering on. I believe him... for now.

There comes a time when you stop feeling bad for a guy who is an asshole that keeps shooting himself in the foot. That time has come for Bobby.

He now joins the list with Vince Neil.

Agreed Brian C. My sentiments are: we are all getting to old for this crap. If Blotz can't reconcile with pearcy ,Juan and Warren, then those 3 are Ratt. Ratt n Roll baby!

Note to Dokken. Just tour in US. Sebastian and Skids; realize even us hardcore fans won't care in a few years if u ever reunite. Clock is ticking

[Rokkett]

Also note to Bret; stop being a douche an get Poison back in the studio and over to Europe, you keep releasing records and singles that are purely embarrasing and then never even play the goddamn songs live. Get your shit together. The clock is ticking and your voice is getting worse by the year.

I am looking forward to the Pearcy/Croucier/DeMartini reunion next year! They will be better without Blotzer.

You reap what you sow. (Karma is a motherf@cker sometimes Blotz)

[Gary]

P.S. I hear the replacement will be ex LA Gunner Stacey Blades....

[JAT]

Gary, so Stacey quits LA Guns to perform in a RATT tribute band? Wow if that is true.

[Metalboy!]

Just when you thought I was dead!...

Wait, JAT. Don't you mean Blades is going from L.A. Guns Tribute band to a RATT tribute band?

Blotzer's karma is coming right out of his name... This guy is a BLOT on Rock & Roll AND society as a whole. I'm glad to see RATT coming back together. Let's hope they get a kicka*s drummer like KOTTAK or somebody on that level. I mean, after all, didn't people laugh at Blotzer's mediocre drumming to begin with?

[JAT]

Metalboy, at least LA Guns has their original singer but point well taken. Kottack is a drunken mess at this point. The guy from White Lion in the pic with the other RATT guys is a really good drummer. Fingers crossed they will do something soon

[glamrockerarchie]

another person quit today too Robbie crane just quit also. time to swallow the pride and work with the rest of the real ratt or go back to calling it the ratt experience.

[Ace Steele]

Ummm. Stacey Blades has been out of L.A. Guns for what, over 3 years now? Michael Grant has been their guitarist since December of 2012.

Wanna bet Scotti Griffin gets a "want to return to Ratt?" email? for the bass slot? Blotz's version is fast becoming the "Sin City L.A. RattGuns Sinners"... ;)

[Rokkett]

Anybody read Blotzers book? Pretty funny.
