Had a backstage pass for the Out Of The Cellar tour and we went to the hotel to party with the band. Blotz was the wild one at the table. Juan was super chill. A few of us went up to the room after partying in the hotel bar and Juan picked up an acoustic guitar and started playing some things he was working on. While everybody else was getting high and tryna get laid, Juan was just sitting on the side of the bed jammin'. Will never forget that.
Lucky dog! Stories to be proud of. Got to hang with Zack Wylde and he was a chill laid back dude. Real approachable and we chatted for a couple hours at the bar of a M.C. clubhouse.
Juan was super nice when I met him in the 80’s before a show. We were behind the arena before the show where the buses were and Juan was walking by us, maybe on his way to get something to eat across the street but he stopped to take pictures with my friend and I and give us hugs. He was SO nice and friendly. We had about third row and he was very energetic! It was great seeing Ratt back then!!!!
Homie definitely needs to quit dancing on stage, rest on his laurels, and leave those “moves” in the 80s where they belong. Just stand up there and play, my man.
This is a great interview Chuck, well done. I always love listening to interviews with Juan, he's always very well spoken and thoughtful. I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and he treats his fans exceptionally. Subscribed 👍
My biggest mentor in the music biz… recorded drums at the Cellar with him in 2002 and unfortunately was not able to commit to joining his then incarnation of Liquid Sunday when tapped (I was Active Duty Army at the time)… lost touch with him through the years and I look forward to one day reconnecting… Juan is the consummate musician-business man, and role model to aspire to emulate in life 🙏🫡🙏
🎉 Cool interview. Would like to see Ratt tour one more time but if it doesn't happen at least the guys can get some business done. Like the boxset and maybe eventually get the EP and some cool merch. The new box set is way cool..❤
Nice one Chuck. Juan's vocals were crucial to the Ratt & Roll sound. That is a great box set indeed. I didn't know he ever played with Quiet Riot before.
Chuck - thank you for letting Juan talk and not being like most other interviewers that constantly cut off the artist and tell stories about themselves. We rarely get to hear from Juan and it’s very interesting to get his perspective on everything.
Juan is right when he sung background.. His voice is very noticeable when it’s with stephens voice .. they both have a different sound but it worked and rocked hard!
Juan's got his own cadence and style of articulation/enunciation. Great interview. If anyone has/had RATT's 1985 VHS "The Video," there was a funny scene where Juan holds court giving his thoughtful, maybe a little extended and intellectual, answer to a Q and from off camera the band shouts in unison, "Suuurre, Juan!" He cracks up at that. ....i keep waiting for that here. Haha (of course, i was a mental case who watched that vid every day for at keas 2years and know every minute of it!)
Interesting! I never saw their home video. Definitely the Skid Row & Motley Crue & GnR ones though. Wonder if it’s on RUclips? Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@ChuckShute useless trivia: im not a poison fan, but have seen them 5 times. Why?, because they opened for bands i went to see. The Ratt/Poison tour was one of those times. Yeah i like the time machine idea too. To be 23 again and see that show one more time.
Great performer. So many great tunes. Saw him and Bobby in Dokken as a three piece. Great show with Quiet Riot at the Starwood. Randy was incredible up close.
I appreciate artists who mature over time, who are interviewed decades after their heyday and have clearly spent the intervening time reading a book, reflecting on their experiences, and using their wealth to explore the world and emerge with dignity and wisdom commensurate with their years. Compare that to rock stars (no names mentioned) who inexplicably still steer every conversation to groupies at age 75. I enjoyed this interview. One thing I noticed, Robbin Crosby was glossed over. I seem to recall listening to an interview (labeled on You Tube as his last ever) where he said the band trip to Hawaii was when he knew he was out. I believe he said he was the only person to show up without a girlfriend or spouse, and the other members viewed it more as a vacation vs. a time to buckle down and work. Anyway, I would’ve appreciated Juan opening up a bit about Robbin, but this was still a really interesting and informative video.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I didn’t want to pry too much about Robbin, as I’m sure it may be a painful issue. But perhaps next time I can inquire more. Thanks again! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Juan is such a phenomenal songwriter & artist! I'm glad to see that he is so level headed & knows how to maintain that so well! Now I see why Ozzy tried to snag him up!
By the end of 89, record labels knew what was going to be next, which was alternative or early grunge which were technically the same then, but kept hush. That's why they then signed 40 new bands by 1992, knowing they were tax write offs. The climate went on a slight downswing around the end of 1985, you felt the change. Bands like Twisted Sister were fading a bit and were an annoyance to people, and practically hated by starting to cover doo wop songs. TS along with Quiet Riot, had the shortest bask in the sun. They were both done. Motley embarrassingly made a terribly engineered album with "Theatre", and teenagers still lapped it up. Stuff like Metallica and Anthrax started to invade. GNR entered the party, and by 86, things were signaling some weirdness for Ratt. I thought the material was getting a bit rushed. They started kind of just floating. Personalities clashed, in fighting about publishing and new found habits fragmented the band, as it happens. I loved the first two records and EP, but Dancing Undercover felt a bit empty to me. I saw Poison as a kid, open for Ratt on that tour in NYC, and Poison were rising fast. By then the music was secondary, image first and the industry just steamrollered everything with new subpar bands, knowing they'd have a brand new roster a couple of years later. Poison as musicians couldn't hold a candle to Ratt, but at the show at MSG, It seemed like every girl was there for Poison. I was also astonished it was 85% female. For me, Ratt and Crue owned everything from 83-85. I thought their comeback album Infestation, was excellent and was the album they should've made right after Cellar. RIP King Crosby
🧀you can’t sneak a piece of cheese by a hungry RATT🐀 Cool interview. I’m telling you If Bobby Blotzer doesn’t get back with Stephen Pearcy. He’s gonna cry. Bob wants back to tour
Juan was the biggest part and trademark of Ratt's sound and No.1 backing vocalist of 80's .....i love❤ Juan croucier.... Huge fan of Juan with love and respect from Pakistan
That song Wishing Well he's talking about was on RUclips under the title "Changes" for a while, and it did sound cool. I really liked it. The version I heard had Stephen on it and sounded like Warren too. I wish I could find it. There was also a really cool more uptempo song called Run Around With Me. And a cool rocking song called Running On Borrowed Time. Such a shame they never got proper studio treatment because they would be up there with some of the best Ratt songs.
Any chance to made interviews with :- Sebastian Bach - Eddie OjeDa or Jay Jay French(Twisted Sister) -Lita Ford - Doro Chris Caffery (Savatage ,TSO,Spirits of Fire)-Ripper Owens-Don Dokken,George Lynch or Pilson (Dokken,Lynch Mob,Sweet-Lynch)- Chris Holmes (WASP)- Stephen Pearcy (The Voice of Ratt) or Bobby Blotzer or KK DOWNING, DANNA STRUM, GIRLSCHOOL - Vanderberg Adrian, Armored Saint,Lizzy Borden, Shortino, Cheers !!!!
wishing well, was suppose to be on tell the world best of ratt/ but called no one can stop you now. I hope this gets released, this should of came out.
Another great interview Chuck! Thank you for bringing us to us. Would love to see a ratt reunion If somehow these guys can get on the same page. Time is working against them and now is the time. Some great bands to interview if you could. Is that kind of keep the spirit of that 80 sound with a more modern flare all coming from the European side. Bands like eclipse...heat...wig wam...treat Who are in '80s band that put out some amazing music today... Most of the stuff I listen to now is on the European side because they still have that 80 spirit with great melodies. . Again as always, great work!
As always Chuck, thank you. You are definitely one person that replies to people and I know they appreciate that as I do. Maybe I missed it. But again great interview. But I really didn't hear anything about the current dealings and reforming the band or maybe juan didn't want to discuss that...
@@0U812FU oh yeah I heard him say in other interviews he won’t comment so I didn’t even bother asking about that. I think he’s open to reforming from what I can tell. Supposedly the hold up is Warren from what I understand.
@@ChuckShute Thank you so much Chuck for the reply. As I said, you're one of the most upstanding people on RUclips for sure. Let's hope they reform one more time and I'm looking forward to more interviews.
number were low for the david lee roth cinderella tour"? wow! I thought maybe it was just where i lived. roth and poison (opener) packed 4K people into the salt palace in salt lake city in '88 or '89. I think that was the worst attending concert in salt lake city by a major artist in the 1980's. and had roth not had a very popular great opening act (poison), I think he would of only had maybe 2K attendance. I thought roth's album was good and it has some singles but the show was so poorly attended. I chalked it up to being due to the same day as the opening of deer hunting season in utah (a very big deal for many young men in utah). but apparently i was wrong. around that same time RATT headlined and sold 7K tickets. can't remember if they had much of an opening act. but it was clearly a much better showing than ROTH. not many hard rock acts sold out in salt lake city back then (AC/DC, van halen, ozzy, bon jovi was about it). kiss and scorpions would come close ).
i saw ratt open for billy squier in 1984. ratt was just taking off with the round and round video all over mtv and to bad for billy his rock me tonight video was all over mtv and was destroying his career
@@ChuckShute it was my first concert. i was only ten it was great having a cool 17 year old older brother who wasnt embarrassed to let his little brother tag along with him and his friends to go to a concert
@@ChuckShute you cant beat that as a first show. im taking my step daughter to her first concert in a couple of weeks metallica at giants stadium. her favorite band is ice nine kills whos opening the show that night
@@ChuckShute I’ve found a few on EBay. I’m a big music historian. I love the Rock scene as well the Jazz era 1945-60 who reads and collects books like crazy.
Possibly, there were definitely a lot of shots fired all over. I saw Blotzer purposefully mispronounce Juan’s name. I’d love to see them all make peace and do one final album and tour run.
10 "you knows" in and I'm out. Sorry but I just can't listen to it. They were a great band and I would definitely go see the OG line up except for King of course :(
I hear ya, one day I hope to do in studio interviews and have someone who can edit my episodes and take out all the um, Ahs, likes, you knows, etc I’d love to see Ratt live someday. I’ve only seen the Stephen Pearcy band solo and he was great. Thanks for watching for some of it anyways! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I would love to hearJaun have a conversation with Lars from Metallica. They’re like the same person. They both sound like hung over stoned California surfers.

What a class act,brought zero issues/names,bad blood within Ratt
Super nice guy and also very talented
You miss the 'Behind The Music' on Ratt where he shat on everyone.
I miss Juan’s “Diana Ross hair” watching him do those classic moves onstage with a hat and no hair just don’t look the same😉
He had some epic hair for sure. Still plays and sounds great! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It sucks to get old bro!

Juan is very well spoken!
Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Would love to see a Ratt reunion but it seems Warren is the one holding it up. Going to see SEP and his band next week I can’t wait!
Would be nice to see them.. I’ve only seen Pearcy solo.
From what I read, Warren was getting fed up with touring. Might have been interpersonal issues within the band, too. I know Stephen has a reputation.
Very intelligent guy, obviously very successful in the long run - four decades later. Clearly, didn't fall into the trap of self-destruction.
Well said. He has a good head on his shoulders for sure. Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Nice one Chuck. Juan's vocals were crucial to the Ratt & Roll sound. That is a great box set indeed. I didn't know he ever played with Quiet Riot before.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah he was in Quiet Riot for a short time and played with Randy Roads I believe.
@@ChuckShute this info can't be widely known!

I need a RATT reunion with all original members
Me too… never got to see them 😢
The heart and soul of the band was Robbin Crosby. The only way a reunion happens is in the afterlife.
@@Fearzero 😢
@@Fearzero Agree, Robbin really was the man. From what I read, he brought the fun into the group.

Wow that’s incredible! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I’d actually meet Juan… I want to someday but not sure when😊
juan speaks about yes,genesis,return to forever,chick corea, jazz fusuionetc..he & bobby blotz loves emerson and progg rock

Juan really seems like a no-nonsense dude. Every group that gets to the top needs at least one of these guys.
Props to Juan for making sure to mention Disco. Too often rock heads totally blow it off and act as if it didn't exist or was not any good.
However, that resurgence in vinyl has been happening for about 15 years now… LOL
Juan also comes off as almost apologizing for Ratt's music. Of all the 80s bands, they were among the most well produced!
Good thing Beau Hill was their producer. Such a fresh sound.
I need that Liquid Sunday.
Juan is such a phenomenal songwriter & artist! I'm glad to see that he is so level headed & knows how to maintain that so well! Now I see why Ozzy tried to snag him up!

Possibly, there were definitely a lot of shots fired all over. I saw Blotzer purposefully mispronounce Juan’s name. I’d love to see them all make peace and do one final album and tour run.
Juan tends to go off topic, he didn’t answer about having friends among the 90’s bands.
Yeah I think we got off topic on that. I’ll have to have him back on.
Ratt was almost above that butt rock image. Unfortunately, when you are hunting duck you can't stop to see if you killed off a rare species.
10 "you knows" in and I'm out. Sorry but I just can't listen to it. They were a great band and I would definitely go see the OG line up except for King of course :(
I hear ya, one day I hope to do in studio interviews and have someone who can edit my episodes and take out all the um, Ahs, likes, you knows, etc I’d love to see Ratt live someday. I’ve only seen the Stephen Pearcy band solo and he was great. Thanks for watching for some of it anyways! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
THE " JUAN- der -er "
🤘🏻🤘🏻
I would love to hearJaun have a conversation with Lars from Metallica. They’re like the same person. They both sound like hung over stoned California surfers.
Hahaha
This interview seems weird like Juan is reading from a sheet of paper or something it's just odd to me the answers
Interesting take, thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
He reminds me of a toned down David Lee Roth.
Little bit yeah
Saw Ratt on the Dancing Undercover tour. I remember Juan getting pissed at Demartini for not singing the backups on Lay it down. He was serious lol!
Haha oh man 😂
How did you know he was pissed? What did he do?
@@Marchosias_Rex Scowled at him and pointed to the mic.
juan speaks about yes,genesis,return to forever,chick corea, jazz fusuionetc..he & bobby blotz loves emerson and progg rock
