Hard rockers Ratt and Extreme are teaming up this summer for their first ever tour together!
Ratt, who will close the shows, will be playing their popular album Out Of The Cellar—featuring hits like "Round & Round," "Wanted Man" and "Lack Of Communication"—in its entirety on the tour to mark the record's 25th anniversary. The band is currently in the process of recording a brand new disc that they plan on releasing in the fall via Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records.
Extreme's latest release, Saudades de Rock, came out in 2008. The band behind such songs as "Hole Hearted" and "Rest In Peace" have recently had their 1990 No. 1 hit "More Than Words" featured in blockbuster movies Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Love Guru. Additionally, young rock fans are being exposed to the music of Extreme via Guitar Hero's inclusion of the group's song "Play With Me" on the video game.
Drummer Bobby Blotzer of Ratt is stoked about having two amazing guitarists on the same bill. "[Ratt's] Warren DeMartini and [Extreme's] Nuno Bettencourt on [the] same stage, same night? 'Nuff said! We'll see you there," he exclaims.

Extreme isn't a hair band. I wonder if this is gonna be a good fit.
Well, they look like one, that is all it takes in the music biz. I have heard Ex1. Pornograffitti. III Sides. Punchline. and Saudades de Rock, as well as Nuno's stuff like Pop1, Dramagods, Mourning Widows, Farrell Sattelite Party and Cherone Vh3, Tribe Of Judah, Hurtsmile. Your right, not a hair band but once Nuno and Gary are out there rocking people won't even care. I own an N4, so I know all about Nuno Bettencourt.
I'm rather annoyed that the NYC show falls on the same night as Richie Kotzen @ B.B. King Blues Club. Two important area shows on the docket. Which one to attend will be a tough call to be honest.
