- Excerpt from SONY MTV "Heavy Metal & Hard Rock Special" and Masa Ito's Music Tomato World.
TV programs those were broadcast in Japan.This video was 20 to 30 minutes, but the other part was lost due to deterioration of my VHS.Were included interview with Robbin and Situation of Warren in the studio to be recorded "Top Secret" in it.
I think that Robin Crosby was the heart and soul of this band.....and if he was still here, I think all original members would still be together playing
Music to die for
He was important and deserves respect....But make no mistake, Warren deMartini is what kept this band from being average....He is still considered by many to be the best ever from this era and genre.
Nope. They are Stephen and Warren
RATT was Robbin and Stephen then Juan and finally Warren.
The E.P. was hard hitting. THOSE songs along with many others were written by Stephen and Robbin. Robbin was pushed into a rhythm player by Demartini and his ego. Robbin was just as good. Yes if the "King" would have been treated like the talent he was he would still be here today.
RATT aint RATT without Robbin and Warren. Just like KK and Tipton.
Gets so old listening to everyone suck Demartini's balls. He was good but not that good. Then everything he played after Way cool JR had that same blues based guitar tone. Shit, Carlos smoked him on infestation.
@@bigbobbitchinii123 You sure warren pushed robin aside. Warren did a interview quite recently saying he took over for Jake E Lee. I dont see Jake taking a back seat on the guitar.
Robin faught alot of battles with himself, He was the king at first, then came warren, which Robin was humble, and let him shine, He knew warren was on another level, but it still ate at his emotions and inner selfesteme...He played it very well that it didnt though....Robin was a big part of the band regardless....RIP
What goes through my mind after watching this is how Robbin would still be with us today if he didn't go down that dark path of heroin addiction. He lost everything to that horrible, evil drug, including his own life. Unfortunately, the damage is done, and I hope he found some peace of mind on the other side. God bless you Robbin, and rest in peace.
Listen to his final interview. He lays EVERYTHING OUT about the whole gammut he an. Bless you BIG MAN. R.I.P. I saw them in 1985 INVASION TOUR. THEIR HUGNRIEST TOUR ROBBIN SAID
@Angelripper Witchhunter I thought the same thing.
What other side??
he was a dumb drug addict dude
Dude he had aids
He was a great guitarist. Awesome guy to talk with after a Ratt Show. RIP Robbin. You are missed!
robbin crosby - nicest rock star i ever met...RIP bigman...
dieter schanzer yeah.. really liked the guy!!!
Agreed man.....Met Robbin back in 90 in Chicago and he was such a nice guy. I definitely think they lost their soul when he was kicked out of the band.
@@warborn_inc. really he was a good guy? but how about the drugs?
@@warborn_inc... Robbin lost his soul while he was still in the band
Personally for this fan when Robbin was ousted he took their signature sound with him. Satan works overtime on some folks and whoever got Robbin high for the first time had a debt to pay. Prolly a nice guy and never saw it coming till he was hooked. I hate dope!
Knowing how King really felt around this time, its sad. My favorite song off Detonator is his song! Can't wait on Love!
its hard to say ANYTHING negative about Robin, he was a kind caring & sesitive man, just wanted to have everybody to get along, from what I see, one of the nicest, easy going players, sad to think about our loss .
The guy was nice to even OJ. Think about that!
R.I.P. King!
R.I.P. Robbin 'King' Crosby, such a cool dude and solid player.
there is no more stressing a job than being a signed musician. i talked to robin many of times. he was a great guy. and even thi he knew he blew it tryd to do somthing as a musician. he had alot of people turn there backs on him. it wasnt his style to let the shit take him. he simply had enough. as a hole ratt was one of the first true bands that put on a good show. i remember them ans still to this day are one of my alltime favorites. we all get old. but we never let any body say its to loud.
I sure miss that era...
The whole band took a dump on Robbin and threw him away. They should all be ashamed. What is left of them today is a joke.
Agree
Agreed
He didn't played on the Detonator album--
Agree
@@MrHARDROCKROBBY still not oficially confirmed. On back cover his name stands in main line-up as always. Acording to people close to him he was very reliable man when the things came to recording new material and his guitar duties. Personally heard, he escaped from rehab at some points on Detonator Sessions to write, rewrite or overdub his parts.
Robbin looks like over drunk King ! Tall, blonde and handsome ... Huge Ratt and Robbin fan with love and respect from Pakistan
Damn the first few minutes are so damn sad, as great as of man and artist King was, he is nodding out high as fuck, you can see it kicking in actually. He didnt even play on this record, he was sent to rehab and Warren did all of the guitars, he came back and was back at the crap again. What a sad waste of a life. Drugs fucking suck.
Those assholes could have done more to help him...If they would have given him something to live for I think he may have gotten through the HIV Its not a death sentence... Unless you keep shooting shit and not take care of yourself. I think he was the most handsome , creative deeply sensitive man.. I wish I had met him.
Robbin nodding off in an opiate bliss at 1:24. He’s floating in space during this interview.
wow Robin looks like a Greek god, Zeus! women loved him!
When did you actually meet a Greek god??? How do you know what they looked like?
@@saber5401 bruh chill
Prolly the real reason they wanted him out due to he was prolly gettin more ass than all of them. You can’t convince me the rest of them weren’t using even if recreationally
I don't know Robbin and I am not a huge fan of Ratt, but he seems like a really nice person.
Wow from 1:35 to 1:50 Robin is clearly nodding out , Quite sad , the beginning of the end i guess ?
That's exactly what i thought....
Exactly I noticed that
It's typical for heroin addicts.
Man? The memories or even the lack of them?..saw them live at the '84 concert in Cols,Ohio* soo many yrs and moments enjoyed in RATTs music..in my 50s now it never gets old w/RaTTnRoLL*
Само чуйте гласа му.Другото после...
yes I noticed Robbin nodding as well its fucking heart breaking I balled my eyes out the other day listening to his last interview
Какъв глас излизащ от дълбините навселената...
I think robin was listening , not nodding off, he was thinking future, you could tll Stephen was making it up as he went, RIP KING Eff The Rest!
Nah he was nodding off
A year from when this video was shot, it would all be over for RATT and the hair band scene. They had no idea what grunge was going to do. By 1992, RATT was long gone off the scene. Same for Dokken, WASP, Motley, Poison etc....
This was back when Ratt was a kick-ass band before they disintegrated and became Bobby Blotzer with a bunch of hired guns.
Up until DANCING UNDERCOVER, Robbin was still writing alot and soloing all over the place...It was basically still Robbin and Stephen's band. After Warren took over, it became more 'pop' sounding. The REAL Ratt was Invasion, Cellar and the EP....Period
Robbin had 2 solos on dancing and on reach for the sky robbin soloed on I want a woman! Robbins last solo on a ratt record!
Robbin is high as fuck,nodding out.Rip king
Robbin seems so different here; than when we dated 30 years ago. (after Ratt) Nothing normal to be able to look back like this. Breaks my heart. See you in Heaven, Rob. XX
You dated Robin?? I hope you’re not trolling. Did you see him use at all? I’m curious as to know what his mental state was at this point.
May not have known he was using. I dated someone that was a frontman for a very successful rock band that was up and coming in the 80s and date number two we get to my place after dinner and he s in my bathroom tossing the cookies and shaking then abruptly excuses himself to leave. My friend that introduced us met him at a NA mtg in topanga canyon go figure she then told me he was asked to leave bc he was found shooting in his toes to avoid obvious tracks in his arms. Maybe Robbin was embarrassed about the fact that he was being controlled by the dope idk but REST IN PARADISE KING! You won the battle and whoever got you high that their cross to bear
You can see the worry in Juan's eyes when Robbin is talking, because he is clearly doped here. Look at him falling out when Stephen is talking. :(
What could have more fun than being an '80's rock star.....Fawk.....
RARE STUFF, THX FOR SHARING
Juan looks like he's into thrash here he be good in anthrax
Jasper Edwards I guess at this time Antrax was actually outselling Ratt :')
Not that I think Detonator was a bad album, I actually think it was fun!
But there where a lot of fun hair metal albums out back then and honestly Detonator did never offer the perfection the out of the cellar album brought to this world.
Probably for all the well know reasons...
@@FrightfulAccountant Unfortunately FUN doesn't sell records.
Looks like Robbin was clean & sober during that time! I wish he didn't die
+Darcy Cox He wasn't. In fact he knew they would not be using him for the tour at this time I believe. Michael Schenker filled in for him for a bunch of dates. He got into heroin early ('85) and never stopped.
I thought he went to rehab during the recording process of that album & he was sober for the 1st quarter of the tour, I know he relapsed on that tour!
Darcy Cox You might be right about the tour but he hardly recorded on that record if at all as he was in rehab. Sad story, the guy was a great riff writer. Since he stopped contributing after the DU album, it was all downhill.

From a guitar standpoint Detonator is a much better album than DU...Especially the lead work !!! So was Reach for the Sky...But Robbin of course played on that.....Take a listen to their last release...Infestation !!!
Not in this interview. He sounds under the influence.
Robbin is starting to look more jaded . I met these guys quite a few times over the years and it was blatantly obvious by 91' the wheels were coming off the bus sadly.
Robbin didn't play on that album. He was credited but Warren did all the guitar on it.
I think the only people high here are the ones talking sh-t about Robbin looking like he's nodding off etc.. He is just listening intently to what is being said that's all. Trying to read more into it and making judgment calls when no one knows what he was doing at that time other than contributing to an interview, quite well in my opinion!!! RIP Robin!! Forever Loved and Forever Missed!!!
absolutely I love him I think he already knew he was hiv positive and he just said fuck it its a shame I would love it if he was alive today poor guy
Juan is so handsome here. 🖤
long live the KING!
From the first seconds of this video (when Robbin started to talk) he looked albeit slightly but still visibly inadequate.
He made that spastic jaw movements and put strange mimic here & there, as he was drunk in there, or high on something...or maybe both. It's so sad to see the end of a person like him, kinda chronicles of personal deteriorating on camera...
He was high on heroin. From 1:25
It is 2020
Also the year of the RATT
Robbin doing is best not to nod off during this Interview the 80s was fun but brutal as well....R.I.P. king
Robin was catching a nod for a second there.
Wat a great record!
Warren and Bobby are the pain in the ass people . But they all got issues
I’m so old I remember when Juan was with Dokken 😉
Robin Crosby was ratt you can tell by watching this that he's deep in his addiction and he doesn't care He's just going through the motions but it's still good to see him no matter what in my opinion Robin was the man
Hey this is Klaus and your watching a SONY RATT Video. Cut!That's a Wrap!
And today they took their separate ways because of their rich selfishness and rivals between them
Great Stuff RATT
God bless all the ratt n rollers Jesus saves!
Fuck ya ratt n roll kicked ass. Sucked Stephen left but ratt will always b a personal favorite of mine. Thanks for posting!
You're very welcome!They're my favorite band forever too :)
shima katze awesome. This was sadly their last album before they spilt. Wish Stephen was still in band.
You can be talented, handsome, wealthy, adored by women, and STILL something’s not right and you are fucked up. RIP King.
pearcy before getting tore up as an addict
W. P. M
Pearcy was an addict too? Alcohol ?
Seem like they pretty much gave up on Robin, Im sure they could have done more. Warren seem to have a big part of it aswell, pretty much making lead guitar duties his job in the band when the duties should have been split more equal…
Is it me or did Robbin look like he was almost going to fall asleep
he was high as a kite
Hayley Coughton yep you're absolutely right it look like he was on something he wasn't nowhere near as bubbly as it earlier interviews amazing
My Douchebag Lover yep he absolutely was couldn't even speak what a shame
quilico Stoned??? He was doing the heroin nod. That was his calling card. The smack. Everybody knows that.
329
he seems to be all good laughing and joking...
RIP Robin Crosby
We just wanted it to go vinyl....lmao...been there
Stephen looked like Slash ha ha.
what is Sony Music TV?
Premonition...Robbin sensed what was coming before the others in the band did in 1991. Tragically sad...just sayin'.
I wonder how many thousands of takes they had to perform before getting one right.
SONY stands for Standard Oil of New York.....look it up.
Hmmm Interesting didnt know that
Yes robbin and Juan made a great impact on the band its a shame robbin died so young what made him be so careless with drugs we will never no what was going on in his mind was it ex girlfriend problems or something to do with the band we will never no
Jasper Edwards It probably had to do with King being eventually overshadowed by Warren and his role in the band diminishing. Watch Behind The Music. It gives an insight into the situation, despite it was kind of a smear campaign too.
+Ron Rocker I thought about this a lot and determined there are things that we will never know. Not only was Warren overshadowing him, but the other guys had families and children. Robbin got married and revealed he was smoking heroine every night in his mansion in the late 80's. Addiction yes, but many other underlying factors that are not fair for me to speculate on.
SkyLight Records They had children by then? No shit, man....
Yeah I was able to find a magazine interview that Crosby gave sometime in the late 90s. There was something amiss about Robbin I feel. Addiction I have found it is usually blanketing an underlying problem. Yeah Bobby, Juan and Warren all had kids by the late 80s. It was Pearcy and Robbin that really fueled their respective partying lifestyles. You read Pearcy's biography and all of his crazy 80s habits carried well into the 90s and 2000s.
+ Ignorance, apathy, plagiarism & stress leading to alienation often brings out negative contributors from daily occurences.
Sad to see this Robin was almost on the Nod during parts of the interview . The other 4 guys should have forced him into rehab . I know they did but ya dont give up on your friend ... Ratt just isn't Ratt without him doesn't look right guess my age gives me a different perspective ?
To force a giant ? Man, he would kick ass them all
Robbin, Robbin, Robbin.😊
Detonator was RATT’s best album since their “Invasion of your privacy” back in 1985. Great album too bad it was the last one 😏
..last great album with the original lineup 😉
Detonator was no way better than dancing undercover dude...
Funny, I thought it was their worst (up to that point). Their previous album "Reach For The Sky" was actually quite good (better than that ridiculous Dance album). But Detonator just too much filler.
Michael Viger I actually never have given “Reach” a fair chance.
Dance has managed to grow a little bit on me.
I still think their first one is the total package and one of the eighties best rock albums!
Detonator even though as you say “had to much filler” I believe is heavier than both “Reach” and “Dance”.
And I think that if RATT would have had a better “deal”, releasing albums every two years instead of every year, then they probably could have delivered better material.
But that’s just my opinion 🤓
Sixtra Cellar reached (no pun intended) higher heights (2nd fav). But Invasion just edges it out - solid top to bottom.....no filler. Such an awesome lp. Don’t know why it “only” went platinum.
They had to pay to play ... in 1982! Things were bad even then.
I didn’t know Juan smoked….
Just noticed, probably quit
Mantap 🇮🇩🇮🇩
Robin looks wasted here. I'm amazed he can speak as well as he does here.
You can feel the tension in the band.....Its weird.....Stephens attitude fucked this band, sadly
I don't think Robbin is high here , he was speaking clearly and making complete sense. Detonator is clearly their worst album of the original line up. Top Secret and Hard Time are great songs , Shame Shame Shame and Can't Wait On Love are pretty good but the rest is not the RATT I know and love.
What is this an after school special?
lOOK AT STEVEN TAKING CARE OF HIS VOICE EVEN BACK THEN... got a lite, Steve?
tar..
I have to laugh when I look at robin Crosby the guy playing his character doesn't even look like him they could have found a better double and go back and look at Google images from 1982 through 1983 .
Wtf ?
ugh hate that hat Stephen
Man, they all look bored stiff! xD
+Graham Hackett they were stressed out about Robbin at the time, who never could kick his drug and drinking addiction. Detonator was the last album and tour (though he only contributed 2 songs to on the record and spent much of that album's sessions in rehab) he was involved in.
