Original Ratt bassist Juan Croucier made his live re-debut with the band this past Ratturday, May 12th at the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, MD after Robbie Crane, Ratt's bassist since 1997, left last month to focus on Lynch Mob. For Ratt fans, this meant two things: 1) No songs written after 1991 were performed [...]

Ryan Adams played Belfast's Waterfront Hall on Friday night.

The beginning of a new season brings new hope, but what happens when the same problems that plagued your favorite baseball team last year are still lingering around like those stupid red light camera tickets that you haven't paid? Not much you can do, especially when the number two pitcher on the roster is as old as the average age on the team multiplied by two. Sigh. Jorge De La Rosa is scheduled to return to the organization as a full starting pitcher three months into the season, which means lefty might function as the team's life [...]

In quiet moments, I consider what songs to sing at karaoke with chicks (Journey, Aerosmith), with bros (David Lee Roth, Motley Crue), and with my fancy sister (Puffy, Garbage). It pays to think ahead cuz once you're there, mic in hand and half in-the-bag, it's easy to blank on ace jams; then you get stuck [...]

Sometimes it's sad to see guys who had a fleeting glimpse of glory milk it for all it's worth. Like, I'm sure there is an ex-member of The Bulletboys or Britny Fox - a member who never appeared on any recorded material, especially not when those bands were signed to major label deals - booking shows at this very moment either as a solo act or with a new band and using their resume to secure a small guarantee from a club owner. [...]

When word got out that Dave Grohl was working on some top-secret new project with a bunch of awesome metal d00ds, including Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Ratt's Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini, we got all excited that he might be working on a new Probot album. Well, it turned out that Grohl is actually making a [...]

All signs pointed towards a new Probot record this year, whatwith recent news of Dave Grohl collaborating with such metal luminaries as Ratt's Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini and Slipknot's Corey Taylor, but now it appears that's not the case. Taylor recently gave an interview to Artisan News Service at Zakk Wylde's Celebrity Roast [above, [...]

First came the news blip earlier this month that Dave Grohl was working on a new "project" with Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy and guitarist Warren "Tasty McTasterson" DeMartini. And now Noisecreep is reporting that Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor tweeted his excitement about having recently wrapped up a recording with Grohl, too. Fool me once, shame [...]

It's almost as if Dave Grohl isn't confident in his perennial "Coolest Rockstar on Earth" status and needs to keep finding ways to prove his coolness over and over again. Fortunately, he never fails. Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy spilled the beans via his Twitter account yesterday that he and Ratt guitarist Warren DeMartini would be working [...]

Dave Grohl no para. El ex-batería de Nirvana y líder de una de las bandas del año, Foo Fighters, ha anunciado datos de lo que será su nuevo proyecto, y aunque del mismo aún no se sabe ni el nombre, si se sabe que incluirá al menos una canción en la que colabora con varios miembros de Ratt, una banda metal de los años 80. El tema incluirá la participación de Stephen Pearcy, vocalista de Ratt, y de Warren DeMartini, guitarrista. Los datos vienen de Noise Creep , donde además se ha publicado una [...]

The grunge legend-Ratt member collaboration's title is TBA.

Ryan Adams estuvo hace unos días visitando los estudios de NPR para conceder una entrevista y para tocar varios temas en directo. Como siempre, el artista se llevó su colorida guitarra acústica y aparte de interpretar "Lucky Now" y "Chains Of Love" de su recién publicado Ashes & Fire , se atrevió con una versión acústica de uno de los grupos más exitosos del hard rock de los años 80. De hecho, aunque no conozcas en profundidad la música de Ratt , seguramente hayas escuchado "Round and [...]

Ratt was a pretty awesome band, actually to be accurate "Round And Round" was a pretty awesome song. I don't think I have ever heard any of their other songs but I have probably listened to "Round And Round" at least 12 to 17 times in my life. It IS entirely possible that they have other songs that are just as good, but I probably would have heard of them by now right?

The acclaimed folk musician dishes out a Ratt cover for NPR.

Ratt fue un grupo de glam-metal que tuvo su fama en los 80s ¿dónde más?. Pues bien, el grupo ha sido reivindicado por donde menos se esperaba: Ryan Adams, quien recientemente fue fotografiado portando una playera del grupo y ahora, el artista folk llevó su afición al siguiente nivel al realizar una versión acústica de la banda. Se trata de "Round And Round", canción si viste la película The Wrestler (El Luchador) debes recordar como la que acompaña la escena del bar entre Rourke y Marisa Tomei. Ryan Adams - Round and Round [...]

Ryan Adams has often been photographed wearing Ratt T-shirts, and as it turns out, he wasn't just being cute with it. On a recent visit to NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday , Adams broke out a gorgeous solo-acoustic cover of the glam-metal band's 1984 nugget "Round And Round" - not a faithful cover by any means, but certainly not an ironic one either. So: Best "Round And Round" cover since Mickey Rourke and Marissa Tomei drunkenly singing along with it in The Wrestler . Give it a listen, and watch the original song's Milton Berle-assisted video below. [...]

Ryan Adams - "Round and Round" (Ratt Cover) At this point, an official album of '80s metal songs interpreted as heartfelt acoustic cuts by Ryan Adams doesn't seem too far-fetched. Following up last year's Iron Maiden cover — not to mention versions of a few alt-rock favorites from the era by Bob Mould and Galaxie 500 — Adams capped off his big 2011 return with an equally revelatory take on Ratt's most lauded hit: 1984's "Round and Round" (an iconic hair-metal jam that memorably featured comedian Milton Berle [...]

Listen to Ryan Adams finger-pick through Ratt's 80s classic 'Round and Round' on NPR.

The gates of the Mansion may be shuttered this week, but that doesn't mean there won't still be a few bibs and bobs happening in the metal world before the holidays put us all into a food coma. To boot: Axl Rose booted a concertgoer out of the GN'R show in Vancouver, just like in [...]
