Singer Jizzy Pearl (Quiet Riot) was interviewed by Metal-Rules, where he talked about his time with L.A. Guns and Ratt.
He was asked about tenure in L.A, Guns, replying:
“Well, it didn’t last because those guys all decided to get back together, all the original members, Phil Lewis, and the other guys. They were offered a lot of money. Again, it’s financial to get back together and tour, so I was out in the cold. And then, eight months later, I joined Ratt. And they were opening for me [laughter].”
Adding about Ratt is that the band didn’t release any original material during his tenure in the band, Pearl replied:
“No. Because they were all suing each other. That’s why. They were suing Stephen, and Stephen was suing them. And we couldn’t do it, and that’s it. Those guys really don’t like each other, you know.
”There’s a lot of — I mean, you talk about love-hate, but they all hate each other.”
