Pearcy quit last year for what he insisted would be the final time. He originally talked up the chances of making another album with his ex-bandmates, but later said it was unlikely.

Now he tells One On One With Mitch Lafon: "There is a song we actually recorded. Warren DeMartini and I finished it. It's done. If it sees the light of day I'd be very proud of it.

"But I don't see any future in Ratt - there's too much unresolved stuff. It's okay. There's other things going on and there's no need for that."
