Ratt released their last studio album with Stephen Pearcy in 1999. That record was very under-appreciated by the media despite being on par with all other Ratt releases but was well received among the Ratt fanatics like myself. Ever since then, we’ve hoped for a new Ratt release from the band as they continue to tour with a new lead singer but none is forthcoming. Perhaps I should’ve looked for the voice behind Ratt instead of looking at the band themselves.
Rat Attack, yes that is Rat with only one T as it is clear Stephen does not have the copyright to use the name Ratt, is a release combining some new creations with some classic cuts. Joining Stephen on this release are ex-Dokken guitarist “Mr. Scary” George Lynch and ex-L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns. Stephen’s “Rat Bastards” join him on several cuts as well.
