RATT’s new lineup performed last night at the Waukesha County Fair at the Waukesha County Expo Center in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Singer Stephen Pearcy and bassist Juan Croucier are the sole remaining original members in RATT‘s current lineup.
Along with them, guitarist Frankie Lindia was performing as well.
Fans expressed disappointment over Stephen Pearcy’s performance. While some praised him, the rest of them were disappointed.
Here are the comments from RATT fans:
“They’ve lost their groove and energy without Bobby or Warren. There’s plenty of bands with members in their 60s + that still sound great. This is not one of them. I’m embarrassed for them. Not Don Dokken embarrassing, but embarrassing nonetheless.”
“I dont understand people seeing this saying that pearcy is great. He’s out of tune most of the time, he cant get high notes right. I mean i loved ratt music when i xas a teenager and i still listen to it but this guy should retire. I’m sure it’s not an easy thing to do when all you did in your life was singing but one day you have to face it.”
“Anyone that says Stephen sounds pretty good must be completely tone deaf. He’s in key maybe 15% of the time. He isn’t even trying at this point. Tribute bands sound better.”
“Please retire, Stephen”.
“Average performance. Little better than the previous live show”

What’s the big deal? He sounds like Stephen. I mean he’s not in his 20s anymore – what do these people expect? He’s not Pavarotti. He sounds pretty much exactly like I’d expect him to at his age.
Worst singer I ever heard live, when he was in his prime. Doesn’t diminish the studio work, some bands just can’t bring it live.
Then you’ve never seen Exodus…. only concert I ever walked out of because the band sucked so bad…. I was glad Suicidal Tendencies opened up for them… I already got to see them… didn’t have to suffer through Exodus to see ST.
Agree’d… he’s a old man now… doesn’t have what he did in the 80’s… but unlike his previous failure where he was so doped up he kept falling asleep while trying to sing and forgetting all the words… this is forgivable.
To sound like that with that much effect pumped into the mix is really quite bad
