  • First of all, I apologize for using a trial version of video editing.
    It was aired on Masa Ito's TV show on TVK.
    My dream came true.
    Robbin Crosby came out of backstage even when the video camera wasn't rolling.
    20 years later, Mr. Stephen Pearcy kindly gave me an opportunity to attend after show M&G as one of +3 on Nov.9, 2007.
    He was surprised that I met him long ago and gave me a big brotherly kinda hug and a tour T-shirt. Thanks so much, Stephen! \m/\m/
    May 15th 2018 will be the 31st anniversary of meeting with RATT at the Budokan. Your stories of meet & greet experience with RATT will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I met Robbin at a rock club in 1994. He walked up to me and introduced himself and of course I knew right away who he was. He took my hand kissed it and said you're beautiful what's your name? I just remember he was a beautiful man, a gentleman, easy going and easy to talk to. I told him my favorite album was Dancing Undercover. He said that was the one album he didn't like. Then I said, but you wrote one of my favorite songs on that album, Drive Me Crazy. He looked down at me and said, you're right that was a great album. LOL.

      You could say that they were at their peak around this time, while Bon Jovi was starting to rise. When I saw Ratt, the attendance was not that good, IMO. I guess that they were startng to fade while Bon Jovi had shot to the top. They were at Hampton in May 1987 and it was SOLD OUT. Cinderella opened for them, then.

    Cool vid and I think that's Masa Ito in the beginning w/the glasses and around the 4:00 mark w/the glasses and blue jacket. For those that don't know he was and might still be the biggest hard rock & metal columnist/writter dude in Japan. R.I.P. Robbin 'King' Crosby.

    Nice footage. Robbin soooo freaking adorable and what a stunning man he was, as much as I dislike Bobby I think he acted super nice to the girls, Stephen, what a jerk, he can’t salute the girls the proper way but he had to go over Juan’s shoulder to barely handshake with one of the girls and then he signs her poster almost on the air, you can tell who was originally nice and who was just doing the job. Juan always a class act (not to mention how cute he was)

    • @eternalservant
      @eternalservant  5 лет назад +13

      Yesterday was my 32nd anniversary of encountering Ratt.
      I'd like to thank you and others for comments.
      As I mentioned in the description of this video, Stephen invited me as one of +3 guests of the very dedicated educated fan of Stephen's. He even gave two of us T-shirt which I never expected.
      My original meeting with Stephen lasted may be about two minutes but it was because less than ten minutes until the Budokan show started.
      Yeah, Juan looks cheerful and welcoming but we were told by staff that Juan was the one who did not want to meet us. Sorry it's true. It was such a shock to me.
      Although I started as a die-hard fan of Warren's but now I'm not. He deliverately did not shake hands with me in 2007 while he did with other poser fans. I don't give a flying f@ck about meeting him any longer.
      If Warren put more importance on twin guitar solos just like Round & Round, The Morning After etc. rather than showing off his tastes , Robbin would have been around even now because he did not need to be depressed to take drugs.
      He was taken out of the spot lights. Who would't be depressed?
      At the time this encounter was recorded, I was a die-hard fan of Warren's but I pleaded Robbin that I wanted to listen to more twin guitar solos. That's why he gave me a kiss on the cheek.
      I believe I was rude to ask Stephen at the backstage of Yokohama show in 2007 for asking why the band made Robbin be like a side guitarist, not lead guitarist. He said I don't know, I don't know..... I almost started crying big time and he said to stop. He said he felt that Robbin was besides him at the show. ''Time Slips Away'' on his solo album is about Robbin, he said. When I listened to that song after it was released, I f@cking cried.. The song definitely expresses his true feelings toward Robbin.
      Since I could not say my appreciation to Robbin in my own words for showing up in front of fans even before TV camera wasn't started recording, I thank him every day for being kind and inspiring me to learn English.
      I won't forget Bobby's kindness which also inspired me. Bobby deserves a 2nd chance to get back to Ratt. Robbin mentioned in an interview that his choice of drummer after fired from Ratt was Bobby. His dynamic sound is one of the favorite drummers of all time. Even as a die-hard fan of Bobby's, I had lots of laughs at article on Metal Sludge. lol
      Anyway please give him mercy and get him back to Ratt.

Now I saw Queen (Seattle) in '80 and got to spend time with Brian May after the show... Now THAT felt quite overwhelming.

Paul Gilbert even made a song Masa Ito. He is also a DJ of Power Rock Today. I wrote an essay how much I loved RATT and was chosen out of 600 contestants.

      That's not entirely accurate, Robbin got so bad with the heroin that he couldn't play. He was a non factor as far as what he brought to the band after Dancin.
