Big Robbo of
Mamasfallenangels.com recently conducted an interview with guitarist
Warren DeMartini of Californian rockers
RATT. The chat is now available for streaming in two parts below.
RATT has set
"Infestation" as the title of its new album, due in March 2010 via
Loud & Proud/
Roadrunner Records. The band's first studio CD in 10 years was produced by
Michael "Elvis" Baskette, whose credits include
PUDDLE OF MUDD,
CHEVELLE,
SALIVA,
LIMP BIZKIT,
ALTER BRIDGE and
THREE DAYS GRACE, to name a few. The effort — which has been described by
Pearcy as a cross between 1984's
"Out Of The Cellar" and 1985's
"Invasion Of Your Privacy" — marked the first time the group had stepped outside of Los Angeles to track a new CD in 20-plus years.
RATT and
EXTREME recently teamed up to bring you this summer's most rockin' tour lineup. The tour, which featured sets from both bands with
RATT closing, kicked off on July 12 in Amarillo, Texas and ran through August 7 in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut
"Out Of The Cellar",
RATT played the album in its entirety.
Over the past two years,
RATT has toured the world in support of their releases
"Tell The World - The Very Best Of Ratt" and their first-ever DVD,
"Videos from the Cellar - The Atlantic Years". During this time, the current lineup of
Stephen Pearcy,
Warren DeMartini,
Bobby Blotzer,
Robbie Crane and
Carlos Cavazo played shows in Australia, Colombia and Peru for the first time in their careers.
