L.A. Rats is an American heavy metal supergroup formed in 2021. [1] [2]
The band was formed in early 2021 at the invitation of record company executive Scott Borchetta, who had been placed in charge of the soundtrack for the then-upcoming action thriller Netflix film The Ice Road. [3] The supergroup includes frontman Rob Zombie, current Mötley Crüe and former Rob Zombie guitarist John 5, Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, and Ted Nugent/ Black Sabbath drummer Tommy Clufetos. [4] The musicians had worked together before in various capacities. Clufetos has played drums on several of Zombie's and John 5's albums, while John 5 had collaborated with Sixx on the soundtrack to the film The Dirt. [4]
Their first song " I've Been Everywhere", a heavy metal cover of a 1959 country song written by Geoff Mack, which has also been recorded by Hank Snow, Johnny Cash, and Asleep at the Wheel, [4] was used in The Ice Road and appeared on the accompanying soundtrack album. [5] [6] The song reached the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in July 2021, [7] and an animated music video for the song was also released. [8]
As of late 2021 it is unclear if the supergroup will record any additional music. [9] [10]
