  • Bobby Blotzer and Robin Crosby of Ratt in this 1985 interview for Sky Channel's Monsters of Rock show. Enjoy.
    Has a weird aftermath looking at this video with the reference to drugs and alcohol as Robin Crosby essentially died due to the consequences thereof.

      6 and 1\2 feet tall. How could you NOT Dominate the scene. He had the hottest women, the best song writing. And he was the only one who was literally trying to have a good time every show. The other guys were bitching all they through. Listen to Robins LAST INTERVIEW. YES FOLKS, HE LAID IT ALL OUT. He fucked he admits it first. But don't feel sorry for him he said. Throw a party. Rarevgeniune dude.

My god it's been a long time that I've felt this good. The only good that came out of it is my 2 boys seen what I went through & want no part of it. & my wife wouldn't touch anything I'm surprised she stuck around this long.

      Beau Hill had him in a hotel across the street from the Studio when he needed him for mixing, etc. The other guys drove him nuts. Robin let Beau do his thing and interjected and helped in a way Beau liked. They both knew tracks/ideas crap until the weren’t. I mean tweaking the track sounds. Objective listeners.

Man, it is so obvious of the guys *(this guy here for instance with the flat personality & goofy face, is very aware he sitting next to an Adonis of a man-who is quick witted, bright, enjoys what he’s doing as an artist-that must have REALLY pissed them off), in that group were turds and jealous of him and it showed. It showed 100%. Pathetic.

    As early as '85 it is very sad to hear the band members talking about all the beer they are drinking. Is that all they have to talk about? Drinking and more drinking and more drinking. No wonder the band imploded. No wonder they look terrible today because they could care less about the future. Instead of talking about music and instead of making dumb jokes, the band members should be more serious and take their job much more serious.
