We’re seeing kids of people who grew up with us, but the reaction is the same,” adds DeMartini. “It doesn’t seem to matter where we are in the world.”With all surviving original members; Pearcy, De Martini, Croucier, Blotzer and Carlos Cavazo (replacing original member Robbin Crosby) back in the Ratt pack, the band will again start work on a new studio record and tour for 2013.
Album:
Infestation is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Ratt. It is the band’s first original effort since their self-titled album in 1999. The only album to feature guitarist Carlos Cavazo, formerly of Quiet Riot, and the last to feature guitarist Warren DeMartini, bassist Robbie Crane and drummer Bobby Blotzer. It was released by Loud & Proud via Roadrunner Records, a then-sub-label of their longtime home Atlantic Records. This is the first album since the death of Robbin Crosby in 2002.In a February 17, 2010 interview with the Artisan News Service, lead singer Stephen Pearcy said of Infestation: "We wanted this to be like something that we would have written right after [1984's] Out of the Cellar. We definitely went back to basics with the mind set of a band with a lot of excitement and some great songs to get out.".In a March 18, 2010 interview with Metalholic Magazine, guitarist Warren DeMartini said of Infestation: "It really exceeded our expectations. Conceptually we kind of wanted to revisit the period of Out of the Cellar and Invasion of Your Privacy. We were sort of loosely trying to shoot for something that could fit between those two records. We were looking for more uptempo ideas and the double leads that Robbin Crosby and I started doing back in 1983."
