- ROBERT MASON is one of those guys from the 80s Metal genre that you may have heard of but you're not quite sure until you hear his amazing voice scream out those lyrics from some of the world's most famous metal bands. His resume is undeniable and quite frankly...remarkable. We met up with Robert and he offers some great road stories, his relationship with Warrant singer/songwriter Jani Lane, and how he "slid" into that famed position as Jani fell out. Robert is a genuine Rocker... the real deal! Enjoy this 13 min clip!
The second Lynch Mob album is a great album, and his voice is awesome on it.
George’s tone wasn’t that great on that album but Robert killed it!
The first one was too, but it was a great change!
I’ve seen a few live clips of Oni singing…good singer…not great live but great on the record.
Robert crushes it live on those first album songs for sure!
I’d love to work with Robert what a badass
Such an underrated gem
Jani Lane was one hell of a gifted song writer, singer, and frontman. I saw them before DRFSR came out. They were signed & the album was done, but it hadn’t been released yet.
I was blown away & a fan from that moment on.
I resisted them once he died…loved Black-n-Blue & Lynch Mob…but I couldn’t accept Warrant without Jani.
Fast forward to 2 years ago. My wife wanted to go see them locally here in Scottsdale, AZ. So I took her…fully thinking I wasn’t going to enjoy it.
I could not believe how amazingly Robert fit…I was blown away & SO happy for them. I had to look at my wife and be 100 with her…I was as wrong as Anything could be wrong!
Now we’ve gone to support them 2 more times since! 🤘😎
Same here...I cannot follow them anymore..I mean musically.....JL was too important...it just can't be replaced...
My brothers name is Robert Mason but he passed away in 1990 . So when i hear warrant with robert mason i think of my little brother , I love Warrant . Miss jani lane but im sure its an honor to play in the Band Warrant . Hope to see you soon. Stay safe
Saw Jani Lane and Warrant when they opened for Eddie Money at Alfred University in Central NY. After Eddie had finished, and the place was basically cleared out, Jani wandered out and sat on the edge of the stage. This was a SMALL space [think middle school auditorium, Not arena/concert venue] and Jani was all but ignored. I was lucky enough to know who Warrant was, and asked for an autograph. He said ‘sure....have a seat’ and we chatted for over half an hour! By far one of my top 3 all time interactions, and 💯 the BEST $10 concert ticket of my life!🤘🏻🤩😎
Jani was a great person with a lot of problems. Met him many times throughout the years. Personally, I don’t go to Warrant concerts anymore without Jani … to me it’s not the same
If Warrant was opening, they obviously didn't like what they heard if they ignored him afterwards. 😂
What a refreshingly eloquent fellow. Oh, and I suppose that I could mention, incidentally, that he’s a quite-amazing singer. “Tangled in the Web” is still one of my favorites.
Your voice MADE Lynch Mob 4 Me.
I live in the same town as Robert and have seen him play may times locally. I do not know him personally but many of my musician friends do and they say he is the hardest working singer around and is 110% every show.
The second Lynch Mob album is greatly underrated. Great songs and Robert really kills it on vocals.
This dude gets my vote favorite male singer. I've anticipated his work ever since I first heard him with Lynch Mob in 91 to 94. God that was 1991. I was 18. We partied as hard as we could , in those days.
Wicked Sensation was Oni Logan
@@jack5402 Damn you were right about that that . I did like Robert Mason's contribution the best. They sure got rid of that first singer quick.
I have seen Robert live twice with warrant and he and they sound amazing! I also saw the original lineup of warrant back in the day and they were great as well. If you have not purchased the two warrant albums with Robert on them, do yourself a favor and run out and download or buy them now! They are fantastic
How's this guy not more famous??
I was fortunate to meet Rob an outdoor concert in Syracuse NY. Me and my buddy (two grown ass men) snuck backstage after the show and met all the guys in Warrant. Rob was super accommodating and laughed hysterically about two grown men sneaking in to meet the band. It was awesome and a memory I'll never forget!!!!
Robert has a fascinating life...I could've listened to another hour or two of that 🤘- Have see the Mason fronted Warrant a handful of times and it's always a fantastic show...Robert absolutely does the classic Warrant songs justice and I love the new stuff - What I'd really like to see is a re-recorded Best Of album w/Robert singing the classics
Lynch Mob was so good. They should have been huge
Robert seems like a really cool dude. Down to earth and laid back.
Not when I saw him front Warrant. He was an absolute dick. Appeared very angry on stage which completely ruined the gig…Warrant are suppose to be fun! He even tried to offer a fight with the preceding band Pretty Maids. It was really upsetting.
Yeah, he's not very cool. I've seen him scold fans for requesting songs. Saying something like "you don't get to pick the songs, I do"
He's great when your letting him talk about himself but he can be douchey ,even back in his Dr Ruth days in local bars in phoenix he wasn't really worth talking to when he took breaks between sets(i'd have to agree with the others here).
I might be one of the biggest Jani Lane fans ever and it still saddens me deeply that he's gone, but Warrant's albums with Robert are awesome! I think he's one of the top 5 current hard rock singers. Amazing voice.
I have never been an Oni fan, but like a few songs from first Lynch's solo. Their follow up record with Mason singing was BY FAR the best.
They're both amazing
No way! Oni is way better
@@trumpwon8064 At least you are correct that Trump won. And TRUMP 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
While it's hard to beat the iconic package that is the debut Lynch Mob album, Mason was fantastic on the second album. "When Darkness Calls" still ghosts through My head to this day. Fantastic stuff.
Would have loved to hear about his time in Cry of Love. Such a great band.
I loved Cry of Love!!! One of my best Rock bands. ☮️
I got to work security for the band at 1 gig in Ohio and I gave Robert a CRY OF LOVE Album flat.
Luv these stories - another kickass video!
I hope I get to chat w this dude someday. He seems so effing down to earth and works his TAIL end off. Great content Recycled🤘🏻🇺🇸
Real impressed with Robert Mason after listening to him here. Always been a fan of Warrant and Jani Lane, and now I would like to see him playing with them. Great video, thanks
Robert is such a great guy. I used to see him around the Phoenix back when he used to front a project called Dr Ruth between projects. Awesome voice, better person.
Great interview .. and production
Very cool and what a nice guy. ♥️🤘♥️. Thanks man.
Cool dude, makes sense he took the Warrant gig.
Such a fantastic and very underrated singer!
Great show! Thanks for continuing to put out great content!!!
You do a great job with the Warrant songs, Thank you Robert!
Google the word "Professional" and Robert Mason's mug is 99% going to show up after this interview. What a great guy.
Very classy interview
Such a cool and talented dude!
While Warrant was more commercial, in my opinion Lynch Mob was the better band but I lean toward the hard rock bands more than the pop rock stuff.
Absolute unit of a vocalist. Still sings great! I've been a fan since the day the 2nd Lynch Mob album was released. Most people here know his Lynch Mob and Warrant stuff, but if you haven't heard it, try listening to the 2nd Cry of Love album (Yes, he "replaced" ANOTHER vocalist in ANOTHER band). "Diamonds and Debris" is really special. Great album overall.
One of my favorite albums to this day! Cry of Love was EPIC. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this omission.
Both the first and second LM albums are so amazing. I think I love them so much for how different they are from one aother, if that makes sense. George was always so humble in regards to the grunge thing "taking over the world" Yes I agree timing was off but great albums stand the test of time. Grunge or Metal it's still rock and roll to me lol
I thought Mason did an incredible job in Lynch Mob. It's probably my fav Lynch Mob album. I'd heard the rumors of him doing the background stuff for Ozzy off stage, I guess it's true.
Robert…when you sing with Warrant, please look like you are actually having fun.
He was great with the Lehigh Valley PA bar band Magnum. Lots of TH-cam vids of him with them. Worth checking out.
we will look for those - thanks Mark
HI , WHEN SECOND PART OF MARK SLAUGHTER INTERVIEW ??? :)))
I enjoy Mason, I like his work with George Lynch the best, and I enjoy his Cry of Love record, Some of his James Byrd release, Silent Witness, Warrant...
Who snubbed him at the bar?!
They were right about Pearl Jam. Eddie’s voice defined grunge. He was the one copied by STP, Bush, Creed, Nickelback, etc., which became the movement. If Andy Wood hadn’t died, and Mother Love Bone emerged first, we may not have seen such a severe disruption.
There is no way to replace Janie lane...Janie lane was warrant great songs great hits
Ok so Mason said he was friends with Jani in this video. In this video Mason basically (he does) state he went we behind JANI’s back. When Dixon spoke with Mason regarding the situation of Jani … did Mason contact Jani to let his buddy Jani know what is up ? Mason’s comments right after he talks about going back home after meeting Dixon doesn’t look good … as he said he was JANI’s friends. Would like to hear clarification on this from Mason.
BTW… I posted up on this video earlier before watching it. Look at what I typed. It looks like I’m not going to any Warrant shows.
The record Robert did with Cry of Love is solid. It is unique in it's own way.
My friend is singing for Lynch Mob...now
Weird how he glosses over and doesn’t even mention the Diamonds and Debris album with Cry of Love. One of my favorite albums to this day.
Any chance they can do these interviews without the sunglasses?
toujours super !
The one thing that drove me nuts being in a band was there is always one guy who says “My guitar player “ or “My drummer “. Not Jim or Tommy, Mark or whatever.
Oh he’s your guitar player is he? You own him? He plays what you say? Get the truck out of here with that!
Me and you are on the exact same page! I won't even say 'My band' I usually say 'The band I'm in' or something inclusive. I refuse to join any band named after one person unless they're majorly established. The quickest way to rub me wrong is for a band member to say or think they're the cornerstone.
@@jasonthompson670 Unless I was one of the thousand people who have been hired in Megadeth over the past 40 years, that’s about the only acceptable time someone can call me “my guitar player“
That’s one of the rare situations where it is what it is. And I bet Dave wouldn’t even do that.
But in reality, when it does happen. I nip it in the bud right away. With a little humor and not make it tense.
Wondering who's the singer who snubbed him at the bar and Jani confronted 🤔
By 6:15
That Ozzy tour whatever the bitch-Sha🤢ron will try to categorize it.
It was the first Ozzfest.
But being like a regular tour with two openers(Danzig and Sepultura) it wasn't seen as a festival.
I still have the ticket from that concert in the Las Vegas of Canada"Montreal🥃" and it says Ozzfest on it.
That very concert is on youtube.
that wicked sensation vocal blew me away when i first heard it....i loved 80's metal and absolutely loved the 90's movement, i remember thinking that hair metal was done(which it more or less was) but wicked sensation came out around the same time grunge was breaking and i thought holy shit they may not be the biggest band(the lynch mob) but holy hell that vocalist is a force to be reckoned with kinda bitter sweet in a way, but a good amount of the 80's guys are having the last laugh these days the 80's resurgence is alive n kickin while most of the grunge bands are doin their best to keep it together besides pearl jam obviously they're still as massive as ever, possibly more massive in that Stones range of success. Sean Kinney was right it turns out, by the way AIC is still crushing it and STP's latest singer Jeff Gutt is awesome and obviously the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl has obviously carried the Torch of Alt. Rock amazingly well RIP Taylor Hawkins
Wasn't Wicked Sensation Oni?
@@TheLochs oh snaps my bad you're right. oops!
@@drunkdadchronicles I still love that song
@@drunkdadchronicles in fact, my band used to cover it. Lynch rokks
Awesome dude, makes the whole genre look good. But- who was the asshole singer in his story?
Curious as well!
That's why I'm here...
Cry of love was the best band he was in.
Did Jani ever shut the power off on another band while they were finishing the last song of their set like Robert did to Pretty Maids? #RobertMasonDickMoves
Did anyone even care? 😂
Bring nadir d priest
It's kind of clownage when i read robert mason is singer of warrant, terry Illinois is singer of great white, simon daniels is singer of autograph 😂
will our grandchildren listen to these bands too with grandchildren of these singers?
... 😏 Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World
But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, ❤️ Ha Ha Ha
*NOTE:
Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries... ...
Umm. When you got a guy who sings in many bands, you have a talent. But a guy with no longevity with one band.
Get a life, stop stealing from Jani lane. He sucks and warrant now sucks. I can't stand warrant anymore
Wow Josie. Stealing from Jani??? He’s celebrating Jani and Warrant!
@@80smetalrecyclebin nope he's not. Warrant was Jani and when he left Warrant they should have stopped using the name and his music he wrote. This guy dyed his hair platinum and basically tries to copy his vocals.
@@Bella.216 Jani didn’t leave. He died.
Jesus get a grip.
Josie misses the Pussy cats
