I would've loved to have been the proverbial fly on the wall just to eavesdrop on all those recording sessions and witness how everything went down! Those Ratt and Poison albums were the soundtrack to my 80's teenage years!
I can listen to you and Jim Faraci talk about classic hard rock gems all day. Reminds me of sitting at a table with a drink while listening to two friends talking.
@@fullinbloom Hello, can you ask to Jim Faraci about Vanadium Corruption of Innocence? Vanadium was an Italian Metal Band and he recorded the album "Corruption of innocence". Thanks

Blozter is definitely a solid , solid drummer regardless of what a drama queen he may be…those Ratt songs wouldn’t be the same without his groove drumming….. I’m finding myself going back to those albums for a listen after hearing these interviews. fun to try and hear the little nuggets of audio magic that maybe normal people wouldn’t hear
Always liked Heaven. Any release was damn rowdy. DIO sang backup to one of their songs. Lita Ford, in her book, tells about a shower scene with one of those guys too.
I also thought it interesting how the debut Poison and Ratt albums all went 2X platinum within 1 year of their respective releases, but it would take another several years after that for each album to go 3X platinum. It's like they hit hard in the beginning with a bang, and then quickly leveled out and sold at a slow but even-keeled pace after that.
As a drummer I also had to KNOW the song in the studio....bass player could hang with click track ...so no SCRATCH tracks in studio....I recorded MYSELF ONLY...great experience because...learning and studio chops...pre production must be together
First of all RIP Robbin, Still missing you brother! Second, another great insight interview of how all these great bands did stuff in the studio. 3rd, You already know this, your channel rocks man!
Hahaha! Drink all the beer. Oh man that's a great story. And Bobby playing the whole song just to a click. Incredible. That's a craftsman. Thank you for sharing this interview.
Blotz was truly amazing. He and Lars used to practice together in LA, much to the dismay of James Hetfield who wanted nothing to do with Ratt as the thought they were lowbrow. Robbin may have had a stage ego but he checked it aside in the studio. I think he flew from Tokyo to NYC to recut a guitar track while the rest of the band returned to LA. I think this originated from Atlantic signing Ratt, Robbin stated if Atlantic was good enough for Led Zeppelin than it was the apex for Ratt and they had to be professional and maintain the contract.
It was Cheap Trick, Poison and Ratt in Minneapolis, back in the '80s. CT rocked, then Poison refused to come out. After a while, Ratt came on. Someone threw a painted bedsheet of Poison on stage and Steven PEarcy ripped it to shreds and gave the finger to it. Poison never did come out. I never knew what the story was.

The producer/engineer interviews are always way more entertaining than the artist interviews from this era

Beau Hill painted him as being a jerk, but Beau doesn't consider drum parts as songwriting contribution, so why would Bobby get along with him?
Convenient pairing... As I would place Ratt at the very top and Poison at the very bottom of the 80's glam/hair metal scene.

Actually, "RATT POISON" would be a GREAT name for a tribute band.

Love Ratt. Love Poison.
Ratt N Roll baby....🎸🎸🎸

I wish Robbin was alive and healthy. Maybe there would be a real Ratt today
King is sorely missed.

Seen Them alot Poison..Rikki Rocks,Bobby was Cool..Still have The Shirts..Awesome Video..Rock On 🤘🖤👊
Yeah! Start with room mics for drums! I love Faraci for doing that. Treat the drum kit like a piano.
Hahaha! Drink all the beer. Oh man that's a great story. And Bobby playing the whole song just to a click. Incredible. That's a craftsman. Thank you for sharing this interview.
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel,,, thanks for this inside info I love it, , alot of my favorite bands on here.
Thanks for listening, Chris.
We were truly blessed to have grown up in that guitar oriented era.
HEAVEN was severely underrated ...
What happend to the full hour long uncut interviews? They we’re very good for the night shift brother.
This is great! The inside track to the crafting of some of the best hard rock albums ever made! Thank you again for your work!
Tremendous. Just Tremendous.

JIM IS AWESOME, ADAM. PLEASE DO MORE INTERVIEWS WITH HIM
Nothing beats the 80's LA Sunset Strip.What a time and party like no other !
Heaven did an ok cover of Dylan’s Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.
Just checked it out. You are correct sir! Great version. I think I may remember it from back in the day. Sounds awesome! (Great video as well). Thanks
That release was - by far - their best album.
Lead singer sounded like Bon Scott .. .
😂

RATT N ROLL

Was wondering why TH-cam’s recommending a pest control video.
The last great era in Music.
