Bobby gets an unfair bad rap and like many people on this link, I have a Bobby story. They filmed "Body Talk" in my hometown of San Bernardino, about an hour out of L.A. I got word of it and hung out on the curb of the entrance of the venue. A van carrying Stephen, Warren and Juan, and others pulled up and they didn't even look at me. Following behind them I heard a Porsche pulling into the venue, and it was Bobby driving with Robbin in the passenger seat. Bobby stopped the car and both signed autographs and talked with me for awhile. After they pulled into the gates which closed, I found another way around and jumped a wall to get to the hall they were filming at. It took a while but eventually security figured out I didn't belong there, and while trying to get me to leave Bobby came out and noticed me again, and asked if I wanted to come watch the filming of the video - it was a 19 year old's dream come true. He was kind, generous and thoughtful and even told the band's security manager to make sure I had tickets for future shows there in San Bernardino and in L.A., and that I also get backstage passes - I also got the sticks he used from the video. Who does that?! I am a middle-aged man in my 50s now but I will never forget Bobby's generosity and kindness. It truly made a difference. Thank you Bobby, wonderful memories made.

Had a random encounter with him in the early 90's, late night at a gas station in Huntington Beach. I was stopping for gas after a gig and he was putting gas in his Porsche 944, and he noticed my drums and started up a convo. We had ice cream and we talked for awhile, just a down to Earth dude that was nice as could be.

You get to a certain age and the bandannas and leather needs to go.. your not 25 anymore

It's so sad that dudes from this era still dress like they're 19 years old and it's 1987 still. It's okay to be a middle-aged man it's okay to grow up you're not a sellout

How these guys, in a drug-induced haze back then, can recall all this stuff from 30-40 years ago is amazing. I'm stone sober, and I can't recall what I ate for lunch today.

No need to wear the eyeliner anymore Bobby

$30,000 a month of income yet he was collecting change out of convenient machines selling chips & snacks.

What's with the gloves?

It wasn't grunge that killed 80's rock, it was the bands getting lazy and losing their hunger, and records companies signing anybody that looked the part, but had zero talent. Grunge just filled the void.

At what point in old age do you look in the mirror and realize that the eye liner ain't working anymore?

One of my favorite bands; RATT. I was in the US Navy, stationed in Japan when I heard the Crosby passed away. I’m in my 50’s now. Where does time go? RATT & Roll forever!

I've loved the 80's metal since the beginning, and NEVER stopped. It's still what I listen to today. I will 4ever be an 80's lady !!!

Hard to argue with success. All of Beau Hill's Ratt albums went platinum.

He was the only bandmember to come out of their tour bus after the show for photos/chit chat. He’s a nice guy.

The current Ratt drummer is good, but Blotzer is one of the best. His work on “Dance” is some of the best you’ll hear in the glam metal genre.

Out of the Cellar, through to Dancing Undercover -- all amazing records. I would also add Detonator to that list.

I've always been a Bobby Blotzer fan. I cant believe he's no longer in the band after all he did to keep the RATT name alive while other were off doing anything other than RATT business. Rock on forever Bobby!

Thanks Bobby for all the tunes!!! Ratt is one of the greatest bands ever!!! My youth baby...

Blotz is a big part of Ratt's sound. I was with him on the down time. Toured with Ratt in 2001 and it was awesome! Blotz is funny too. Jay Ham!

That Ratt tune over the end credits of Point Break is their best song imo.
