Ratt, top 10 bands that helped me survive growing up an orphan. Endless hours of Ratt, my walkman, coping with the orphanage
Thanks Ratt!
I love how you never talk over the guest. You pose a question and stop and listen. Truly rare.
Thanks I try.
Eddie Trunk is terrible about that...guy has good personality and enthusiasm, but he constantly interrupts
This was a good interview, sucks that Pearcy isn't a very good interviewee, he avoided questions, and trailed off while answering others
Talks about taking care of himself while ripping butts...
Except George Lynch
I agree we will never have that 80’s scene again. So cool to hear him talking about those years.
Yeah, I can't just explain to my kids how the 80s atmosphere felt back then, you had to be there. It'll never return, sad.
@@VoviqueTOcean414 thankfully we lived it so memories are there
Cmon RATT get it together! Life’s short and we want more RATT music!!!
"Nobody rides for free", one of the great film songs of all time!
Stephen still looks great !!!
Thank you Stephen Pearcy for keeping RATT alive through all these years!!! I just wonder why nobody ever talks about those two amazing Arcade albums? MASTERPIECES!
Being a guitar player and 52 yrs old I grew up with rat seen them a number of times and at age 50 my wife took me in I had stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to my entire liver and if I didn’t get treatment I’d been done I’ve beaten that cancer but now they found some new stuff and I’m going through a second round back to back years but I’m fighting this same way with my guitar and music and interviews like you do here with these band members and Stephens right life is too short so rock while your able can you dig it
Thanks bro I appreciate it I can use all the help I can get not an easy road to travel down
Stay strong bro, keep going
Good interview. He's an interesting dude. And that original line up of Ratt (Stephen, Robbin, Warren, Juan, Bobby) was fantastic.
Thanks Dennis
Glad to see he’s doing a lot better than he was a few years ago! Hopefully they can get together even if it’s just for one more album.
I’ve seen Ratt 5 times. Never disappointed!
5 for me too! Twice in one night because so many people turned out they played 2 shows, only had to pay once!
I met Stephen backstage at Jones Beach in 2008 after a Ratt show. He was so down to earth and nice just hanging out and eating a piece of pizza. Humble and seemed appreciative of compliments.
I grew up as a grade school aged kid in the 70s and high school grad 1986. I first heard RATT on a Metal compilation album. Queensryche as well, and a few others. I immediately ran out and found RATT's 1st EP and Queensryche's as well. I was the kid in school that came wearing a RATT shirt with other kids saying , "who the F is RATT?" Then months later coming up and saying, "Dude, have you heard RATT?" Yes, yes I have. Best time to be a long haired, guitar playing kid. 70s and 80s.
Good memories
Ratt and Roll forever!!! We all love you Stephen!
Always had Ratt on a pedestal,probably my favorite LA band,and when I met Stephen,such an easy guy to talk with,hang out with.....was an honor and NEVER passes up a friendly little toke.....as for a reunion,my opinion,could never really be without Robbin--it would be cool to see the other guys,but there`s still a huge friggin` hole......Anyhow,Pearcy`s a very good guy,great human being...lotta love for the guy.........
I like that no matter what he loves living and creating in life, as he said, he keeps moving forward.
THE 80's WERE THE BEST !!! AND I MEAN THE BEST !!!!!!
You didnt see the 70s
I spoke with Mike through the comment section on a couple of his videos and he was just a kind soul with a truly generous spirit. I'm grateful for that small interaction. I need to tell you, Henning, that I love your videos too. Your very boundless sense of humor and limitless joy in this 6 stringed instrument we love so much. Maybe one day, I'll get the opportunity to tell you Henning in person. I bought a Harley Benton guitar about 2 years ago based on your recommendation and I love it. So what you and so many guitar TH-camrs do does mean something. I could see in all the videos with you and Mike that he saw you as a brother. He is missed and won't soon be forgotten. RIP Mike (CHINA GUITAR SKEPTIC).
Stephen's ambition is admirable. He's making documentaries and solo records all these years later, when he could easily just live off of Round and Round and call it a day, like so many others would.
He couldn't live off Round and Round. That money was gone 20 years ago.
it still makes money...youtube the Geico Ratt commercials
Stephen Pearcy is my favorite hard rock singer of the 80s bands. Great unique voice. I’d seen Ratt in 85, 87 and around 09. They were always great performers. The 09 show at the House of Blues was as good or better than the big arena shows. I need to find a copy of their Unplugged show. Stephen’s voice works so well with the acoustic guitars. Thank you for the interview!
Doesn't get credit for the songwriting either. So unique.
A Ratt reunion! We the fans need it. That said, props to Stephen for soldiering on. His solo albums have the Ratt sound and are amazing.
We shall see
Ratt and roll let's go
Loved Ratt in 1986 and still do!
76?
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen typo. Corrected to say 1986.
Wow! Never seen SP so sober. Very happy to see him so healthy. Great interview, Jason! Thanks!
Thank you
The best part of my life was in the 80's. I'm still surprised to have made it through, but the music was definitely one of the best part of it. Steven Pearcy is a living legend, and I'm glad we still have him doing his thing. ROCK ON
I couldn't agree more!
My brother!! You are having an interview with the lead singer of my favorite band of all time. Stephen Pearcy!!! I've had an opportunity to him with RATT back in 1999 and a couple of years ago with his solo band. Man...loud and awesome. Mybears rang for 3 days. Wish I could've seen RATT back in the 80s. I had a modern day "helicopter mom". I was born in 1972 and in 1983 when my buddy Paul Johnson loaned me the 83 debut RATT album, I was hooked on the music and never looked back. I swear to God I wanna meet Stephen. If the original band can get back together, I want to meet the guys I looked up to as big brothers. RIP Robbin Crosby. Miss seeing him and it is hard to believe he's gone to this day. Got into Arcade when Stephen started that project and have all 3 cds. Got into his other projects, but he will always be the front man of RATT in my mind. Just the coolest and don't give a fuck kind of guy. He takes music as a business and loves his fans. I can't say enough about him and RATT. They are the epitome that has done so much to grow my life and attitude and yes...chasing girls. I love writing music lyrics and I always have music running thru my head. So...thank you to RATT for making me the RATT loving bastard that I am. Got me thru a lot of shit in my childhood and adult life and losing my virginity.
RATT N ROLL FOREVER!!!
Joe Barrett
Like millions of others in this world I grew up in the 80's. Gawd I loved music....and Ratt was one of my all time faves. Im in my 50's now and when Im sitting on my lawn tractor mowing listening to hair nation and a Ratt tune comes on I still get pumped...takes me back to my youth. I hope I never lose that feeling. If so......plant me.
Much love and respect to SEP. This dudes been my rock n roll king since I was a little kid and I’m a drummer, not a singer or guitarist. Ratt changed my life. Will always be my favorite band ever! Prayers with battling cancer. Met him a few times and he’s a very cool guy to just chat with. All the Ratt guys have been very very cool I’ve met, Stephen, Bobby and Warren. Still working on Juan!! Glad when I met my heroes they weren’t dicks. Even gave me a free shirt one time. Keep rocking and hoping for one more Ratt album and tour with the 4 remaining members and hopefully Carlos. 🙏🏻🤘🏼🤟🏼
RATT, such unique music. They were so original but still rock and roll. Some of the best guitar riffs in history. Quite an accomplishment.
Yes there will never be a decade like the 80s!!!! Great story's. Awesome interview!
Stephen “Felix” Pearcy is the real deal … always down to earth while maintaining the “Rock Star” vibe .. he is the salt of the earth and a really cool head 💯😎 Great interview brother ✌️
Thanks
first concert i ever attended was ratt opening for the legendary billy squier great show. i got to go to concert because i had a great older brother who wasnt ashamed to let his eleven year old brother go to concert with him and all his 17 year old friends
@ b40 b40 I saw the same tour in Kansas City MO at Starlight theatre. Ratt was on there " Today the Cellar Tomorrow the World" Tour was the Out of the Cellar album tour ! 🔊🔊🔊🔊
Legendary?
@@jeffh296 Yes that RATT Out of the Cellar tour was the killer ! They were hungry and opening still. Played almost all of Out of the Cellar and a few off first EP. " Today the Cellar tomorrow the world " was on the shirt .. ..
My family loves Stephen!!!!
Stephen Pearcy is awesome, been watching and listening since 84. Still rocking. DeMartini is better than the kid though.
"City To City" is my favourite of them. Stephen Pearcy is very talented, I love their songs.
I love City To City, didn't think anyone else knew that song but me.
That Reach For the Sky album rocks 🔊🔊🔊
@@rino7789 Street fights all the time I take a chance into the night. It's like a spell I'm under. Lyrics may or may not be accurate I didn't cheat though. 🔊🔊🔊🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
that song is criminarlly underrated
Two friends talking. Just great. Thanks! 🎙
Awesome!! Thanks Jason. You are the best interviewer. Love the channel
Very nice of you to say Andi, thanks!
Good stuff! Being a life long fan this is the RATT FIX I needed!! It’s like watching old family video tapes. In this case it’s Stephens memory lane!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it
RATT was the anthem of my teen years, awakening me to pursue a life filled with excitement and style. Several Lamborghinis, businesses, and beautiful women later, I have a rich history to look back on and the best soundtrack imaginable. Thanks Stephen!!!
My first concert was RATT in 1985. Bon Jovi opened the show. I've seen Stephen more than any other band. I saw him play once in Salt Lake City at a bowling alley during one of the many splits with the band.
Nice to see him talkative and in a good mood. I've seen so many interviews of him, and several live performances over the last few years where he seems to just want to get over so he can move along. I know he's been going through some things.. I'd love to see this animated guy show through in his shows.
He's one of my favorite vocalists, and has a sound no one else has. Still one of my rock and roll heroes.
Great interview. He's obviously excited about telling his story, thanks for sharing.
Stephen, we're all pulling for you!! Take care of yourself.
Same!! In Jacksonville Florida,same tour. I remember i lost my shoes and my pocket money,lol
Awesome interview Jason! Now we need Warren DeMartini
We shall see
One of your top ten interviews so far ! Some great wisdom gems too !
Thanks, I appreciate you watching
Been with Ratt since 83, BIG Stephen fan
Stephen is the modern day road warrior, keeps a coming & playing venues for us. ICON
You’ve managed to do it yet again Jason. This was a 4 1/2 star interview. It would have been a five if it would have been at least an hour and a half. But I’m grateful for the 50 minute interview. I still can’t quite put a finger on what makes your interviews sooo good. They just suck me in and I can’t turn them off. Well done!!
I am glad he is being encouraging and down to earth. He seems to be very clear and healthier. Ratt has been one of my favorite all time bands. I really want to see this movie. I appreciate his positive vibe and message to take care of your self and get a tune-up. This has been a great interview.
Sometimes after listening to an interview you come away disappointed with the person. Stephen comes across as a good guy...and you conducted a great interview.
Love Stephen and King Crosby!!!! RATT N ROLL 2021!!!
Love SP. Great interview Jason. Not to be a downer, but wished he talked more about his cancer scare, but I understand why he didn't. Thanks Jason! And big thanks to SP!!
Hi Roger, yes he doesn’t like to talk about it, but his fiancé outlines it in the movie for him
I did not know he had been diagnosed with cancer. I guess he kept that info to himself mostly.
Jason, thank you for bringing us closer to our rock heroes and asking the questions we have always wanted to hear the answers to. These guys have truly gone through and seen it all, and it’s great to sit down with these guys and just listen! Rock on, brother!
great interview as always, I got to meet him a quite a few years ago, He seemed like a genuine good dude.
Such a great interview. I'm a huge ratt fan of the band ratt arcade vicious delight and his solo stuff. Thanks for interviewing him .I can't wait to watch them movies .
Amazing to think that those guys made their first 5 classic albums in their 20s. I was picking my nose in my 20s! Lol Really hope these guys get back together. I just hope they come to Canada 🇨🇦 Ratt n’ roll forever 🤟🏻
Don't lie now.... you're still pickin your 👃 🤣🤣
Hard staying sober. Harder to pretend its not killing me. I praise the honesty here. Great content see you next show. Oh... I also felt it when Steven said he feels his sisters presence.
If you watch the doc its blatantly obvious he's high on coke or speed.
Great interview Jason ! Sorry i missed it watched the replay though :) I Will share it too ! Keep up the great work man :)
Great interview. I think that's the most comfortable, open, and articulate I've heard Stephen sound in an interview.
And Stephen if you were to see these comments: please stop SMOKING! We Ratt fans cherish your vocals,and most importantly your HEALTH
Circa 2015, I went to a pain mgt doc in the Santa Clarita Valley and Bobby Blotzer was there, talking. And talking, and talking. I can still hear his voice
it is great that you guys talk about spiritual topics in an open minded way, i enjoyed that interview very much, thank you
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it and it makes me happy that people get to see this side of Stephen
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen Plus he mentioned Roxx Regime who became Stryper .
Wonderful interview Jason! As someone who played the Hudson Valley, & NY/NJ circuit and opened for many bands like Cities, Twisted Sister, TT Quick and others, we always looked at the West Coast bands as being lucky to be near the labels to be signed. I always thought Stephen never got the credit he deserved. His own solo career has been overlooked as well. Love your format and Style, Thanks for making my weekend!
Another fantastic guest and great interview. Keep up the good work, Jason.
I'm going to listen to my favorite Ratt songs after this. I love Stephen 🥰
Best wishes !!
Glad you're doing well Stephen. Ratt was a great band. Miss those days. God Bless my friend
I won't count on a new Ratt album with all the original members but I will cross my fingers!!!! Life is sort and it's great to see all band of brothers come together and just have fun!!!! Ratt n' Roll
Great interview. Thanks for all the memories
Fantastic Jason. I've enjoyed your interviews very much. Keep em coming!
Thanks Ronald, much appreciated
Really enjoyed this interview! And glad I came across it having just finished the book last week. Been a Ratt fan since the 80s and never knew what a nice guy Stephen was. I love how transparent he is in telling his stories here and in the book.
Another great interview Jason. Really appreciate these.
Stephen is a legend ....I'm still listening to all of it in 2022....
What a cool dude he seems to be from this fantastic interview....
Definitely changed my perspective of what I heard about him.
Great interview. Thanks. We had the Out of the Cellar cassette cranked up all the way to school back in the day.
Thank you!
Wow....I really liked that. He is the opposite of what I thought he was. Amazing personality. Jason = great as usual. 🎯
Thank you, it’s funny how many people have said that
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen That´s interesting. Cheers from Germany.
You are becoming such a great interviewer. LOVE your interviews!
Thank you for sharing another great interview. You spoil us with all this great content.
Glad you like it Matthew, thank you!
Excellent interview as always, Jason. I saw Ratt a couple weeks ago in Fargo, ND. I've seen the negative comments on Stephen but he was in good form. I saw them several times in the 80's as well. Stephen has never been a great live singer. But he's a rock star with a killer young band and he looked like he was having fun. That said, get the boys back together!!
Ratt was my band growing up in the eighties. I hope these guys can pull it together one last time and put out an album and tour behind it.
Great interview; glad I found this channel. Subscribed.
Hi from the UK Jason. Love these interviews! Some awesome guests and great interview style! Brilliant! 🤟
Hi Lee, much appreciated, I’m glad you enjoy the channel
Another great interview. You have such an insight to the bands and these guys that other interviewers just don't. The only thing I would have wished is that you had asked about his recent vocal performances and whether he is exercising that "muscle" back into shape. But it is understandable that this was probably forbidden territory. Anyway - I subbed a few months ago and your channel has quickly become a must watch. Thx.
Too bad they weren’t added to the Def, Crue stadium tour!! Get that reunion together, your fans would love it!!!
Great shout 👊 a much better line up all round and round 😜 Seriously tho , what a package for your money that would be great!
It would certainly make me hand over my money, probably make Vince sit up and take it more seriously?
At least Steven can still sing. Vince Neil sounds like a karaoke version of himself, and Joe can’t sing any more
Brings back the memories
My walls were plastered with every photo I could find of this band. Good music to get me through rough times. My teen years that is!! Without the music of the 80's and this band primarily, those times would have REALLY sucked.
Fantastic interview Jason .this was so worth the wait
Thank you
Thank you again for a great interview
Thanks for watching
Rockumentary is AWESOME!!!. Maybe because I am biased because I grew up down the street from him. He is my hero.
That was a very good interview again!
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great get Jason - this was really well done by you, super interesting! Changed my perception of Stephen. Always loved the music but let myself get swept up in the controversy about him. I was wrong. Thank you for this!!
Hi Patrick, I’m glad you came away with that, he is very different then what people expect
Another great interview Jason! You are a perfect interview host. Enjoyed every sec. I was there at The Beverly Theater the night Ratt got signed. Also, if I never told you, I came up w the name Warrant from Warren : )
Thanks Max! We talk about that a little in my Joey Allen interview, you need to come on
Jason, just wanted to thank you for the amazing interview with Stephen!
For us that grew up on this (52 myself) getting to hear Stephen was a treat indeed. Being 12 when it all started it's amazing 40 years gone by an s more than ever we love to know what they are up too. These guys were all part of us growing up and alot of times they don't realize just how much a part they played sometime.
Losing Robbin was the worse and you wish here was here to straighten them all out and bring them together as I'm sure he would if he could. Again Jason thanks for sharing this stuff from Stephen. There will only ever be 1 voice for Ratt and the whole world knows that and I'm sure the other band mates know it too. Hopefully we shall see them all together again to finish this journey before it can't be!!!
Now go get Warren and bring them together Jason!!
Randy O from Odin here 🤙 I would love to see RATT again with all the guys.
We shall see if it can happen. Btw you gotta come on the show!
Ratt n Roll!! Thank you Jason!
Ratt N Roll indeed
Stephen Pearcy is not afraid of people he treats you with respect. God bless his mother.
Interesting interview. Good job Mr. Green.
Hi Jason another great interview. He seems like a great dude and obviously makes great music. Looking forward to more in the future.
Good interview Jason...keep rocking Stephen! All hail Ratt!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
This was a great interview . Steve looks great. Appreciate
saw Ratt opening for Motley Crue on their Out of The Cellar tour here in New York. another great interview
What a show that would have been
Just found ya. Great job Jason. Cool Career Stephen. I was one of the thousands flowing thru Hollywood in the eighties. There was a former lead vocalist for Dave Mustane's band that I finally got a small shot on drums on the Strip with. Life gets in the way sometimes. Hey man I just lost my wife in March to Hep c. Glad you're both still up and full of rock energy. The world needs it bro.
Cool interview right on thanks for sharing peace!!
Had no idea about Pearcy's liver cancer. I see he's still smoking though. Just a fan saying Stephen PLEASE give up the smokes, bro.
Yeah. If you watch the doc its blatantly obvious he's high on coke or speed.
I agree with Bruce. Jason is a very good interviewer.!!!
Thank you!
Great interview as always, you ask all the right questions. Still listen to Ratt and Stephen's solo band, "10 miles wide" is as good of a song as Ratt put out in the 80's.
I found your channel from this interview. I just subscribed. I Think you're an incredible interviewer thank you so much for what you do. Really enjoyd this interview I'm looking forward to many more videos from you. Best of luck with the channel man take care.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m glad you found the channel & enjoy the cool stuff ahead
@ Waste Some Time with Jason Green Your very welcome. Have a great day man
I really like Stephen being so open about the past and his relationship with Warren and Bobby etc. I have never seen Ratt, not sure if i will (living in Finland), but Ratt has its own style which I really dig.
