To the surprise of no one, it looks like the battle over the Ratt name will continue into next year.
Singer Stephen Pearcy, bassist Juan Croucier and guitarist Warren DeMartini announced on Wednesday that they had won a suit to regain rights to the name, which drummer Bobby Blotzer had won in his own suit last year. But Blotzer’s Ratt website is still up and he posted a note saying “Don’t believe everything you’re hearing. REAL news is coming very soon.” The post also plugged his band’s December dates with the promise of more to come in 2017.
