Speaking to Metal Edge while on the road for ‘The 1980’s Sunset Strip Experience‘ tour, Stephen Pearcy touched upon the possibility of a Ratt reunion. He explained why money was not the motivation for an event like that by saying:
“We could be as big as we want to be or as successful as we want to be. We’ve been there once, twice. But in my situation, I learned that peace of mind is worth a lot more than the dollars.”
The singer delved more into the topic and went on:
“I mean, look, we’re not getting any younger, and that’s a drag because here we’ve lost my brother Robbin [Crosby]. I mean, God, name a band – Cinderella, Quiet Riot, somebody’s down.”
Mentioning the bands which still had their original members, he added:
“The OGs, some of us have been lucky. The Mötley guys are still around. They better knock on wood and thank many gods. But yeah, man, it was a crazy decade, and I’m just loving it for what it’s worth.”
Reportedly, the Ratt members were offered a ‘lucrative opportunity‘ for a reunion back in 2022 but couldn’t make an agreement about it. At the time, telling SiriusXM that he didn’t know why they couldn’t agree, Pearcy said:
“I have no qualms either way. I keep moving. All I can do is make my own assessment of the situation. When you make a phone call, and you get no response – and I won’t say with who or what or where or when or why – f**k it. I don’t care. We’re all alive. We’re all healthy. We’re all groovy. I don’t know. I hope everybody’s cool.”
