It is official the Ratt and Poison summer extravaganza will be hitting sheds this summer. The official Ratt lineup, according to their official MySpace site will be:

Stephen Pearcy - Vocals
John Corabi - Guitar
Warren DeMartini - Guitar
Bobby Blotzer - Drums
Robbie Crane - Bass

Troy Blakely, who books Poison with the Agency for the Performing Arts said:

"The tour, which brings Ratt and Poison onstage together for the first time since 1999, will visit amphitheaters, festivals and fairs in such cities as Boston, Detroit, New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles."

I guess Troy forgot that New Jersey is actually a full state now. Maybe Troy believes New Jersey blows so much dog penis that it shouldn't be classified a state anymore and only a city.

Or maybe Troy is high on the hairspray and burned by the sun due to the Ozone hole created by these two bands. Either way with Def Leppard, Styx, and Foreigner on tour this summer, it is shaping up to be the Summer of the 80's reunions.

Now if only Coverdale will reunite with Whitesnake and tour with the Scorpions and WASP for the Snakes, Scorpions, and WASP insect tour '07.
