Ratt seemingly committing to “new breed” line-up

It appears that Ratt lead vocalist Stephen Pearcy and bassist Juan Croucier are committing long-term with their “new breed” line-up consisting of drummer Pete Holmes (Black ‘N Blue), and guitarists Jordan Ziff (Razer) and Chris Sanders (Britny Fox, Knight Fury) as the group posted the following photo (from Joe Schaeffer Photography) and succinct message on Facebook earlier today:

“RATT 2018 and beyond☠”

In a recent interview with Eddie Trunk on the Trunk Nation radio show on SiriusXM, Pearcy explained in part the reasons why guitarist Warren DeMartini was not in the line-up anymore as follows (and as transcribed by Blabbermouth):

“I can’t speak for the guy [Warren DeMartini]… The guy didn’t wanna go out there. I wouldn’t even call it work. We’re privileged enough, 35 years later, to be able to go out and do what we do. And there’s still a lot of great fans out there who’d love to hear the music. That’s all that concerns me. So if somebody else doesn’t wanna do it in the band, regardless [of whether it’s Warren] or somebody else, [they can] take a hike.”
