January 21st, 2026 saw Stephen Pearcy light up The Roxy Theatre on L.A.'s notorious Sunset Blvd. during The Heavy Metal Hall of Fame induction of longtime friend and music collaborator Warren DeMartini. A packed house of musicians, industry power players, and die-hard fans came ready to RATT N’ ROLL.
Quiet Riot and RATT's longtime guitarist, Carlos Cavazo presented Warren DeMartini with his award with a heartfelt tribute to his decades long friend and spoke of their early days both defining the early 80's Sunset Strip sound that would soon take over the Rock scene. During his acceptance speech, DeMartini reflected on the last time he and Pearcy stood together on The Roxy stage: filming RATT’s iconic Back for More video, which featured a guest appearance by television legend Milton Berle.
Following DeMartini’s induction, Pearcy and DeMartini were joined by Carlos Cavazo, Matt Thorne, and Blas Elias for a blistering four-song set.
The group set the stage ablaze with the RATT classics Lay It Down, Your in Love, Back for More, and Round and Round—a powerful reminder that the legacy, the chemistry, and the fire are still very much alive and well between two of the 1980's most influential musicians!
Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini are one of only a few that are considered architects to the ORIGINAL 1980's Sunset Strip scene, and the Heavy Metal Hall of Fame brought these 2 giants back to where it all began for them.
