I agree this was very troubling to watch as i am a huge RATT fan. I hope stephen gets the help he needs if he needs it. And i hope his bandmates will intervene if need be. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and the band. I wish nothing but the best for Stephen.
He could be sick with a nerve disorder or a brain disorder. I wouldn't be too quick to judge. If it was pills and alcohol he would be slurring and stumbling. I hope hes ok but like the person before me said it look's like Parkinson's disease. Maybe he just don't want the public to know. .?? 🙏😔
@@mynameislove7605 i agree and my comment wasn't judging him. I have a nerve disorder and i was on pain meds for years until they yanked me off them because i was taking more than what i was suppose to because my pain was and still is so bad. And my doc thought i was addicted to them so she said no more I'm taking you off them. So i now live in severe pain everyday and it's so bad i just want to die most days but theres nothing i can do. They have tried gabapentin and lyrica but i had an allergic reaction to the lyrica and the gabapentin made me feel weird so i got off that. The only thing that ever helped was narcotic pain meds and they made me go to a treatment center cuz they said I'm an addict they said it so much they convinced me that i was so now I'm screwed. Anyways i just wanted to say if my comment seemed judgemental trust me that was not my intention. I know first hand about nerve pain and it's no joke. I just hope if there is a problem not saying there is but if there were that someone would step in and help it's just out of concern. Hope this clears things up a little for you. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
@@mynameislove7605 no he has been an addict for years. Watch his past videos from years ago all the way up until now and he was drunk as fuck back then as he is now. Even Bobby Blotzer had confronted him on numerous occasions of his chugging down jack Daniels on stage
Damn... Hate seeing this. Ratt are one of my fave bands. Bad enough they lost Robbin Crosby years back due to substance issues, don't need a repeat with Stephen after all these years! Thinking of you brother and get well ASAP.
@@SuperBoomshack He contracted HIV and did develop AIDS. However, he did pass due to a heroin overdose on June 6, 2002. Either way, we lost a great talent, the "king". Let's let him rest in peace friend.
@@samhain4399 Exactly. I miss Robbin, and he was so gifted. It was a horrible way for him to pass. I still listen to Ratt, just to hear Robbin play. I don't wish ill will on Stephen, despite the past. I really hope he gets some sort of help. I don't want to lose him either.
Most commenting here are not musicians. This is likely why DeMartini doesn't want to tour, fans are often merciless. I'm not even a pro and I wouldn't want to deal with the general public. And now here's a band with thousands of touring and recording hours and while their performance is hurting, it's also due to years of hard work. The band is fronting the cost and here people are criticising. Maybe it's better if they just stay home because it's a hassle? And this is exactly why I enjoy playing guitar by myself without some evaluation by persons with zero training who have no clue how hard all this is. Keep rocking Stephen and Juan.
Pretty sad... But this afdiction needs the most attention first and foremost,, if the others really cared they would pull the plug on these gigs and save his life
I like Ratt and many of the 80's hair bands... but this is a joke with Pearcy. I wouldn't watch this version of Ratt if they were playing in my backyard for free. Who is actually paying money to see this train wreck?
Lol,, that's what I always tell my ole lady about celebrities and shit.. i. Wouldn't walk out in the yard to see them. Lol,, I loved ratt, still listen to them.. see them in the 80s 4 or 5 times,, he never could pull off the vocals really,, it was great music to do coke and chase ass though 😜
@@coolbreeze5916 Right on point. He could never hold a tune without a tune machine. I love their albums but would not walk out back to see them for free. Esp this line up.
I ended up in the hospital for the same thing. Not to proud to say it. Still take pain med. but you got to drink lite. Someone fed me half a bottle of 90 prood vodka. Said it was mixed. Not their fault fully. They didnt know I was on them. The combo was out in a ambulance and. Came threw in a hospital
U do realize it's not the og lineup right??Crosby died a LONG time ago and they have had problems for the last 25 yrs,so don't go crazy with the last 35 yrs shit,cuz ratt haven't had a charted album or a world tour since the very,very early 90's!!
GuitarzFromMarz 100% agree!! Doesn't matter how many others left the band. DeMartini is the "missing ingredient" in RATT. Can't be replaced, and they can't be Ratt without him.
DeMartini wouldn't get caught in that car crash. This "new breed of Ratt" must be one of those "knockout gene" strains that they use to study alzheimer's, parkinson's and now the terminal condition known as "suck". Send it back to the lab.
If I were him, having just had surgery for liver cancer and finding out about my Hepatitis diagnosis, I'd probably let my fans assume drugs or whatever they want. He went on the road right after surgery. I'd imagine there was a valid prescription for the painkillers...but only Ratt could give him a prescription to ROCK!!! Isn't that the better therapy? And interacting with fans instead of recovering at home?
Sorry guys going to be honest here. Money is a big motivator here. Not saying it's right, but if he's not touring with them they don't get paid, just saying.
The only problem I have is where was everyone's outrage years ago? These guys have been getting messed up for at least 40 years. I kinda doubt there's any hope of them getting clean. They might be able to switch one drug for another then when the add alcohol to that they will be in the same shape
dude ,pearcy is a legend in the rock buiz,,,people will pay to just see him...and Juan is so cool ...Juan is the coolest bass player in history,,,and always takes ratt serious
Especially if, due to the knee issue, he needs the pain meds temporarily till after surgery. That booze REALLY NEEDS to go! His health is FAR more important than his alcoholism! Should go without saying I'd think, but I've never struggled with alcohol. Praying for him
Seriously? Cheering?? How about BOOOO!!! Refund!! We want to be entertained so bad that we are willing to pay to see that and cheer? Not me man! Help this man to see he needs help before we lose another Rock Legend!!
I saw them back in the day when Invasion of your Privacy came out. I LOVED that album. I saw them live.... I literally laughed my ass for the entire concert because they were absolute garbage live. Studio magic is all they had, the could not reproduce the album even a little bit. I saw Motely Crue back then too for the Theater of Pain tour and they were fantastic. Ratt shouldn't even have been a back up band they were that bad.
Bless his heart! I wish people could be more compassionate, and understand that celebrities are human too. I’m not condoning drug and alcohol abuse, but when people are in pain and sick sometimes you take things you later on regret. I’m happy to see him the past few years that he has cleaned himself up and has a beautiful friend, Kristi to support and love him. Please keep Ratt and Rollin’
They just played in manistee, mi on October 6th, and he was sober and pretty damn good in my opinion, other then he sat there whole show, but with knee issues I understand, but he sang 20 times better then what Is depicted here. I think he's aware of his problem. Not to mention after the show during a meet and greet I attended, he was drinking coffee and not booze. So I think there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. I love ratt and I hope he Stephen can keep it on track.
lee86chevyk10 Thanks for the update. Refreshing to hear educated comment amongst the trolls that seem to know exactly what the problem is, despite not knowing crack from pot.
I like Ratt, I never put Dem in the category of a hair band , to me they were just a great hard rock band, Steven needs help , and I hope he gets it because he's a cool dude with a great voice .
One of the greatest hair bands of the 80's man I hate to see Steven in this kind of shape. I sincerely hope he gets better if not as a musician but just as a human being. Bless you man.
Batphink Reynolds No. Its hilarious. That guy needs to retire from his day job, give his knee a rest, and maybe a little rehab. The county fair will find another band. Maybe they can get Bobby Blotzer's Ratt, or maybe Warren Demartini's Ratt experience.
Funk Enstein Maybe Batphink is either a lifelong fan, that was offended. Or maybe just a troll, just killing time, while waiting for some game to download on their PS4. Regardless. Steven Pearcy is a joke. Dude had the world by the balls, back in the mid 80's. Now he's a cartoon character, living off of his 80's reputation. Ratt hasn't made new music, since 2010s Infestation. Its their right to tour on their past, if they want to. But the least they can do, is be sober, when they're taking peoples money, to see them perform. This is exactly why grunge was needed, to flush this kind of crap down the toilet, in the 90s.
A rock star abusing drugs and alcohol? So unnatural and rare. Gee, I wonder why no one remembers Elvis Presley when he was gazood on stage, lying on his back while trying to remember the words.
He did this back in 2012-2013 in a concert in Houston. He was messing up the first 2-3 songs. He sounded sozzled. He did improve a whole lot and it ended great. Hope whatever is going on, he can worth through it. Still love them 🤘
You can get away with drinking and drug'ing and playing on stage when your in your 20's ..... But as we get older you need to really take care of your body and your voice..... At this age it's all about staying well hydrated ...water only...and staying in shape..... Hopefully Pearcy can get his act together....
I hope it's not early onset alzheimers. I'm about the same age and I have bad memory problems with names and numbers. This can cause depression also and lead to abuse if you're not careful. It could be he just likes being in a euphoric state..??? I'll be praying for him to find himself again and get the demons behind him 🙏😔
I certainly hope it's not that either, I remember a young woman, about the same age I am, giving a speech about her father with early-onset Alzheimer's to a psychology class that I had. She started crying. I did one about suicide, and she's the one that starts crying when she does hers. I certainly hope it's not that either, and if it is that I hope that advances slowly. On the positive side, she and I became friends that day, so there's that. But the way that she described how she had to treat her dad in public, people were acting like she was abusive. She said, that sometimes, you have to treat people with Alzheimer's like they are children. I remember an older lady, so not early onset Alzheimer's, that my mother and I found wandering around on a highway. She kept asking about her sister. So went to talk her neighbour, whom I guess is related to her, and he told us that her sister had been dead for years. We made sure to take her to her house, because her nephew, the guy who lived next to her, gave us permission to go in, and sat her down on her couch. We waited until another family member got there, before we left. Now, that being said, we should stop treating people with Alzheimer's like total crap, and I don't mean having to treat them like a child, because sometimes you have to, but let's remember that these are human beings, and not rubbish.
Turns out having cancer was a understandable reason to take pain medication! The man had been diagnosed with it 3 years ago and he only recently came out and told everyone now that he's on his way out.
I saw Ratt on Long Island last year with most of the original line up. They were fantastic!!!! Sounded great!!!! Wow, losing DiMartino and Carlos, it can drive a man to drink!!!!!
Drug problems are usually a lot worse than people admit to, and he already admitted to mixing painkillers and alcohol. That means he's slamming oxys on a high level and washing them down with liquor. No mystery here.
Intervention for Stephen Pearcy! I appreciate he apologized for the incident before. But, now this? He should postpone some shows and reschedule those dates. Where is their manager?
First off, this ain't Ratt. No disrespect to the young warriors in the lineup but this is nothing more than the Stephen and Juan show. That being said, Stephen is rock and roll warrior and lives the lifestyle. He definitely needs to go and dry out before he belly's up to the great bar in the sky along side Lemmy, Jani Lane, and Kevin Dubrow.
It's time for family, friends and band members to intervene but he'll have to acknowledge he has a problem first. You can't help someone who doesn't think they have an issue. Good luck!
This video is longer than the entire controversy. I'm 54 and was around when Ratt broke out. They only had two hits and I didn't know any Ratt fans in my area.
DeMartini was the only talent they had. If Pearcy wants a rock n roll death in a motel let him. We don't need anymore Ratt. Says a lame apology then goes right back out and does it again. If he DOESN'T care why should I.
What? He just forgot one line in this video - can happen to anyone, otherwise he seemed fine. Remember, you are messing with someone's livelihood here with your false accusations designed to make your channel revenue!
What right does Hetfield have to slam Pearcy? That's LAF, especially them being openers. I heard Hetfield once poked fun at Layne Staley. If it's all in good fun, whatever. If not, hopefully hes "grown up" finally.
Not to be disrespectful, I love RATT and all the guys, but I honestly think Steven can’t perform (or doesn’t think he can) without drinking. That mixed w his other medications is the result yet again.
Ratt has sucked after Crosby died. Percy is just falling down smashed half the time and lost his voice years ago. I was one of their biggest fans in the early eighties and nineties and now I wouldn't go to their show if it was free and in my back yard. I guess some bands just need to hang it up when they lose their heart and soul for what they are doing. I know drugs and alcohol take there toll on your health but when your in Steve's state either quit or go in rehab he's just an embarrassment.
This doesn't look good. 😐
I agree this was very troubling to watch as i am a huge RATT fan. I hope stephen gets the help he needs if he needs it. And i hope his bandmates will intervene if need be. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and the band. I wish nothing but the best for Stephen.
He could be sick with a nerve disorder or a brain disorder.
I wouldn't be too quick to judge.
If it was pills and alcohol he would be slurring and stumbling.
I hope hes ok but like the person before me said it look's like Parkinson's disease.
Maybe he just don't want the public to know. .?? 🙏😔

NOT anymore, he cleaned his act up and sounds better than ever. Last 2 shows I have seen were OUTSTANDING.
Good Job Stephen on your sobriety!
Just saw Ratt last night here in Houston, Texas. Took about 4 songs for him to warm up. After that, he was fine and put on a great show.
I love how Juan Croucier is nonchalant about Stephens problems he keeps rocking and stays in rhythm. Juan is a very underrated dude!
Agree

This makes me sad. Ratt was my very first concert when I was 10 or 11 back in the 80s. Hopefully, he will get things in check.
I saw them about that time and they rocked! I really hope he gets help soon. So sad to see/hear this.
Pretty sad... But this afdiction needs the most attention first and foremost,, if the others really cared they would pull the plug on these gigs and save his life
I'm not even a Ratt fan and this breaks my heart to see a rocker like this
What? Do you have an IQ of 80. What a useless comment. Grow up.
There from the 80s give it up.
Yeah. Deeply disturbing, since this is exactly the behavior we saw on stage from Scott Weiland just some months before he died.
I like Ratt and many of the 80's hair bands... but this is a joke with Pearcy. I wouldn't watch this version of Ratt if they were playing in my backyard for free. Who is actually paying money to see this train wreck?

@@coolbreeze5916 i saw them like 85. It was too loud , and Pearcy was bad then. Squeaky weird voice . not dolled up from the effects in the studio
2 years later we find out the sad truth about the pain meds. Dispite having Hep and Liver cancer, the guy soldiered on. God bless Stephen! 😪
I ended up in the hospital for the same thing. Not to proud to say it. Still take pain med. but you got to drink lite. Someone fed me half a bottle of 90 prood vodka. Said it was mixed.

That's sad.Hope he gets some help! I met him when he was in the band Arcade and he was a very nice, down to earth person.
I hate to say it but maybe its time to give it up. It was a good run.
FUX OFF
It hasn't been a good run since 1990 for Ratt
"Good" is an overstatement.
Bands like this, is why Grunge took over the 90s. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll! Do the sex and drugs after the rock and roll part, Steven.
U do realize it's not the og lineup right??Crosby died a LONG time ago and they have had problems for the last 25 yrs,so don't go crazy with the last 35 yrs shit,cuz ratt haven't had a charted album or a world tour since the very,very early 90's!!
I grew up loving these guys, great memories!
Looks like it's time for an intervention!
Geico answered
If there is no DeMartini there is no Ratt!!
Agree👍🏼
GuitarzFromMarz 100% agree!! Doesn't matter how many others left the band. DeMartini is the "missing ingredient" in RATT. Can't be replaced, and they can't be Ratt without him.
DeMartini wouldn't get caught in that car crash. This "new breed of Ratt" must be one of those "knockout gene" strains that they use to study alzheimer's, parkinson's and now the terminal condition known as "suck". Send it back to the lab.
Agreed
This behavior is probably why he didn’t sign on for this!
If I were him, having just had surgery for liver cancer and finding out about my Hepatitis diagnosis, I'd probably let my fans assume drugs or whatever they want. He went on the road right after surgery. I'd imagine there was a valid prescription for the painkillers...but only Ratt could give him a prescription to ROCK!!! Isn't that the better therapy? And interacting with fans instead of recovering at home?
Mr. Brownstone won't leave him alone?
For the love of music! Geez! Come on, A job is a job! Save the partying for after bro!
Stephen... I am not judging. I don’t walk in your shoes.. I wish you the best and good health. Don’t want to see another legend go too soon.
He used to do a little but a little wouldn’t do,so a little got more and more,he just keeps tryin to get a little better,a little better than before..
He's been dancing with Mr. Brownstone....
He always sounds like that even in 85
Sorry guys going to be honest here. Money is a big motivator here. Not saying it's right, but if he's not touring with them they don't get paid, just saying.

He fired Robin Crosby because of this type of behavior. Age and alcohol does not mix.
I always thought Robbin left Ratt on his own?
Especially if, due to the knee issue, he needs the pain meds temporarily till after surgery. That booze REALLY NEEDS to go! His health is FAR more important than his alcoholism! Should go without saying I'd think, but I've never struggled with alcohol. Praying for him
Why are you calling this "RATT"? There is no RATT without Warren. This is just Stephen and Juan and 3 other guys no one knows.
more importantly robbin king Crosby even though he has passed away rip king Crosby
The band's still names Ratt dumbass despite the change up.. Just like Dokken.
There changing name of band to 1 F Up Dude .
theres no Ratt without Rob and Warren
Please take care of yourself Stephen, I've loved you since I was 11 years old... I'm now 48. 🤘🐀🤘🐁❤💋
Seriously? Cheering?? How about BOOOO!!! Refund!! We want to be entertained so bad that we are willing to pay to see that and cheer? Not me man! Help this man to see he needs help before we lose another Rock Legend!!
Fuck n Haters
Pearcy is hardly a rock legend.
Yeah? We're you alive in the 80s?
Yes boy, I was. Pearcy was a hack even back then.
Craig Rock he's hardly a rock legend but yeah this guy needs help
Oh, my god! A Hair/Glam Metal band from the 80s have members that are heavy into drugs? No way, man!
Hope Stephen is alright. Love him. xoxo The Clarences
Hang in there, RATT. Pearcy once quoted that rodents & critters will be the last few survivors left on Earth in the end.
Juan's bass moves saved the day!
It's a Newsflash that Ratt's singer sounded like shit live?
LOL
Yea except for some reason Vince Neil gets a pass!!
You can't leave out DLR he's the king of skipping lyrics since the 80s

Give it up !!!! The Ratt trap has snapped.

At this age it's all about staying well hydrated ...water only...and staying in shape..... Hopefully Pearcy can get his act together....
I hope he gets through this struggle
damage has been done. I give him a few years at the most before he kicks the bucket
For real
I hope it's not early onset alzheimers.
I'm about the same age and I have bad memory problems with names and numbers.
This can cause depression also and lead to abuse if you're not careful.

He's walking around good. Hope your Knee gets better Steve.. Love you bro
Oh FFsakes! Dude's in his 60s for chrissake. You think he's going to hit the stage and kick ass like it was still '84?
The scorpions can.
So sad I'm a huge Ratt fan and hate to see Pearcy in this way
"PAIN MEDICATION" - the new excuse to cover up the fact that you're addicted to taking substances ........
Heroin
Turns out having cancer was a understandable reason to take pain medication! The man had been diagnosed with it 3 years ago and he only recently came out and told everyone now that he's on his way out.
Decades of hard partying really take a toll on the body. I hope he gets the help he needs.
I saw Ratt on Long Island last year with most of the original line up. They were fantastic!!!! Sounded great!!!! Wow, losing DiMartino and Carlos, it can drive a man to drink!!!!!
Drug problems are usually a lot worse than people admit to, and he already admitted to mixing painkillers and alcohol. That means he's slamming oxys on a high level and washing them down with liquor. No mystery here.
Intervention for Stephen Pearcy! I appreciate he apologized for the incident before. But, now this? He should postpone some shows and reschedule those dates. Where is their manager?
I seen Ratt in about 2019 at an outdoor concert Steven Pearcys vocals were spot on
They kicked Robbin Crosby out of the band for doing the same thing.What a bunch of goofs.
At least he was honest. Most people are in denial. Get help Steve. Your the man.
Great band great singer one-of my favorites just a bad night
Heartbreaking, I feel sure he will pull out of it and be just fine.
Old rockers still think they're 25 😔
Let’s be honest..if you don’t go thru this then u can’t call yourself a true rock star
Drugs and alcohol will always destroy you and your life. It always catches up to you.
Even Mickey Ratt would be ashamed!!
This dude is like 60 yrs old and still doing this shit,pretty sad man!!
This makes me so sad.. I’m praying for him
What ever it is I wish him all the best
Quit giving them YOUR money! Then things will change.
Get well soon dude ❤
We Love you Stevphen !!!
Just seen them last night he's fine they put on a great show. The new guitarists kicked ass too
First off, this ain't Ratt. No disrespect to the young warriors in the lineup but this is nothing more than the Stephen and Juan show. That being said, Stephen is rock and roll warrior and lives the lifestyle. He definitely needs to go and dry out before he belly's up to the great bar in the sky along side Lemmy, Jani Lane, and Kevin Dubrow.
He’ll be with Robyn Crosby soon. Let’s hope....
lets bless him and hope he gets past his alcoholism cause I have my probs too.
I definitely agree. ✋ the tour & get a doctor.
It's time for family, friends and band members to intervene but he'll have to acknowledge he has a problem first. You can't help someone who doesn't think they have an issue. Good luck!
We have a bit of a Ratt problem!
I hope that he recovers soon and it is unfortunate he mixes alchol and pain medicine and gets help.
What did you expect after 40 years of debauchery, drugs and alcohol, a River Dance performance?
As a Ratt fan this pains me.
The best I’ve seen him!!
They need to stop the tour and get Steven healthy now.
Which county fair is this?
Ratt is still playing?
This video is longer than the entire controversy. I'm 54 and was around when Ratt broke out. They only had two hits and I didn't know any Ratt fans in my area.
AND THE DRUGS GO ROUND AND ROUND!!
He needs to go to rehab!
That's just how rock n roll is. Sex , drugs, rock n roll. I can't count the number of bands that were high on stage in the seventies.
You're either a drug addict or a musician. Can't be both....... (unless you are Keith Richards).
In the seventies, not their seventies
DeMartini was the only talent they had. If Pearcy wants a rock n roll death in a motel let him. We don't need anymore Ratt. Says a lame apology then goes right back out and does it again. If he DOESN'T care why should I.
Get well Stephen Pearcy
💜💋🤘🏻
It’s not Ratt without Warren, and Pearcy hasn’t been solid since 87. Put a fork in it.
I got to see them back in "83" I was a freshman in high school.... Last my thought....
This looks.... over?
Fux off
Hey he's a rockstar ,he's probably done the same thing for years and worse so he just probably getting older lol
Would anyone here go see Van Halen without Eddie? Thats the equivalent of Ratt without Warren. Period!
What? He just forgot one line in this video - can happen to anyone, otherwise he seemed fine. Remember, you are messing with someone's livelihood here with your false accusations designed to make your channel revenue!
I watched James Hetfield slam him before walking off the stage when Metallica used to open for them
What right does Hetfield have to slam Pearcy? That's LAF, especially them being openers. I heard Hetfield once poked fun at Layne Staley. If it's all in good fun, whatever. If not, hopefully hes "grown up" finally.
You obviously didn’t grow up in the 80’s
K bar, that is a ridiculous assumption. Nm.
Not to be disrespectful, I love RATT and all the guys, but I honestly think Steven can’t perform (or doesn’t think he can) without drinking. That mixed w his other medications is the result yet again.
Please get some help Stephen....You got this man! Prayers
Ratt has sucked after Crosby died. Percy is just falling down smashed half the time and lost his voice years ago. I was one of their biggest fans in the early eighties and nineties and now I wouldn't go to their show if it was free and in my back yard. I guess some bands just need to hang it up when they lose their heart and soul for what they are doing. I know drugs and alcohol take there toll on your health but when your in Steve's state either quit or go in rehab he's just an embarrassment.
He didnt make it this long by staying in the pit. He'll be ok.
