Wait! There's A New RATT Book!
Eric and I had a wonderful trip which is great since it was postponed so many times over a three-year period. That said, I feel all traveled out at this point.
Scanning Blabbermouth, it seems to me the biggest Glam news of the past few days is Bobby Blotzer’s Rat Attack being a thing. Or is about to be a thing. Retirement is boring for Blotzer and he wants to perform again, so good for him. It will be interesting to see who ends up in this band. Stephen Pearcy is also touring of course – the voice of RATT, performing classic RATT tunes. Just like Blotzer – presumably.
RATT will released a limited edition set of The Atlantic Years boxset to vinyl on June 9. The set came out on CD a couple years ago. This means five albums remastered to 180 gram vinyl.
The albums in the set are Out of The Cellar (1984), Invasion of Your Privacy (1985), Dancing Undercover (1986), Reach For The Sky (1988) and Detonator (1990). You can pre-order the set by clicking the picture - it's $200.

The time change happened overnight and we made it! It's one of my favorite days of the year: a time of renewed hope for longer and warmer days full of sunshine. Spring officially starts next Sunday and we've got St. Patrick's Day this week, too!
To me, it's time for happy or inspiring metal songs - and that's our Sunday's Best for this week. Some of my choices are below:
Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High Again
Saxon - Denim and Leather
Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time
Steel Panther - Party All Day
Judas Priest - Living After Midnight
I See Stars - Electric Forest
RATT - Best Of Me
Dio - Stand Up And Shout
Also I suppose we could just listen to any power metal and call it a day. (I kid, sort of). What are some of your go-to uplifting tracks?
This time, we've got riffs from Every Mother's Nightmare, RATT, Firehouse, Loudness, KISS, Savatage and more. Probably the best inclusion on this list is "Unchained" by Van Halen. I've always thought that was an absolutely face-melter of a track.
Metallica - AOL - 2003
Geico - featuring RATT - 2020
Warrant - Rockline - late 80s probably
Aerosmith - The Gap - 1999
Alice Cooper - Marriott - 2002
KISS and Little Kiss - Dr. Pepper - 2010
... and the best memory of them all... when CDs and cassettes were advertised on television! Monster Ballads Hit Collection. - Circa 1999
