Part 2 of interviews and tour footage of Ratt. Stephen Pearcy, Robbin Crosby, Warren DeMartini, Juan Croucier, and Bobby Blotzer are interviewed by Ethlie Ann Vare, and the band tour Japan.
Me too! I remember when I was 11 or 12 and my dad came home with Ratt album. Im 27 now and I still listen to Ratt and all the bands in this genre! Thanks dad! Haha
They were so glammy, and such great musicians. 1985/86 looked similar, in some ways, to the Bolan/Bowie/Roxy Music/Sweet era of the early 1970s. Fantastic band.
Man....They were all so young then, and so was I ...The 1980's was the decade that was the very best ! The most fun...WOW. I truly feel sorry for the kids today. A lot of the music is just Shit.
I'll take the '80s easily, even the pop stuff. I miss being able to watch non-stop videos on MTV all day, especially with so much rock and hard rock in the playlist.
I went to Japan as a high school exchange student in 2005. It would've been so fascinating being there in the 80s, when the high tech was mostly just in Akihabara, the night skyline was filled with neon, and the culture was still primarily Japanese. Going there later was great, but this is a true time capsule.
I have been a fan of Ratt since the early 80s and the one thing that stood out to me of anything that I saw was the makeup!! I did not remember all the makeup before but I am sure it was there... Even today at 54 I still like to crank Ratt from my car stereo quite often thanks to an ancient technology called compact discs.
Yeah, I agree about Juan. He's just a very polite, classy guy. Robbin was the same too, very intelligent, well-spoken, thoughtful, and a really gentle soul. Off-topic, but what ethnicity is Stephen? He looks at least partly Native American.
I have this video on VHS. I watched it so many times. I wish I can find it on DVD or digital but I am so thankful I found this on TH-cam. Great memories, fun band, loved their music .... they totally rocked!!
@lollipuddle I think you're right. Juan has always given me the impression that he is well spoken, intelligent and a great deal of fun to be around. He still does and that's why I'm a fan to this day.
It's to bad that they couldn't get along. The first two albums were good times, it seemed. But after that, everything went to hell in a hand basket! Robin Crosby had the world in his hands! But the drugs just took over! It really is a shame, because he was such a awesome talent!
I'd have to agree --- "Out of the Cellar" and "Invasion of Your Privacy" were good 80's rock albums --- but after that it went downhill fast --- drugs and fragile egos will destroy any band
My favorite band of the era, and one of my first "favorite bands". I liked all their albums (until maybe the self-titled first reunion album), but Out Of The Cellar always stood out above them all IMO.
God bless these guys. They are the ultimate rock and roll heroes for millions of human beings in this planet. Thank you for your great music, thank you for the good times, thank you for just being there for us.
It’s amazing how Bobby Blotzer is just not included in a lot of these videos or any videos really. Even in their music videos he hardly ever gets any screen time. Drummer dissed again!
@Greg Hubbard so true also my time my music they never were close to best. I do like some of there songs. The eighties had so many great bands best time for music all generes period. But ratt the best no ay in hell.
Warren strikes me as a quiet guy, introvert who isn't a very good speaker. I admire him more now because I'm the same way, he's a big influence on my guitar playing.
Nah..great to watch...makes you appreciate how less uptight people were back then and enjoyed life unlike today where people have a stick up their asses when it comes to being offended
So I always see those dolls of RATT members in these videos. Where on earth can I find one?! Warren DeMartini is my Idol, and that would be awesome to have!
It doesn't take away the fact that Juan has no history of even thinking of having a boyfriend. He was a rather faithful husband to his wife, though, considering the lifestyle of 80's bands. LOL
I just figured it out,remember in the video "You Think Your Tough" there's a very quick shot of Jake in that video,I mean it's less than a second towards the end of the song.I noticed none of the video's are on Pt. 1 or Pt.2 so that's why they listed him under Special Appearence.Oh Well Whatever huh.
@EncryptedGod I got your message that you had watched it. Juan's voice is naturally high-pitched (he sang on the high harmonies on Ratt's songs and you can get the full effect of his voice on his Liquid Sunday release) but he's not swishy. He was married and has two kids (not that it means anything necessarily but from what I know of him he's straight). I've had some exchanged with him online and he really is a nice guy.
They should have named the 1st album "Out of the Closet". Don't get me wrong. I'm a die hard Ratt fan, but by todays standards, these guys have some serious alternative lifestyle tendencies, if you know what I mean.
my wife puts round and round on when I can't get out of bed in the morning. Works instantly, a truly amazing song
I still have this on VHS. Yes.....I am old. RATT and roll!
Juan cracks me up he's so formal and proper while looking like my aunt Helena.
DEFKONSIXTYSIX Lol 😂 I'm dying
Kaydence Demers RIP ;)
You sound really gay.
I saw your comment first & then i saw Juan in the Interview & it was even more hilarious.🌟
Hard to believe there was a time that existed when music was melodic and actually fucking rocked
Yes I was 16 in highschool in 84 when Ratt started really rollin those carefree days of youth. 55 now where does the time go 😮.
It still does. It's your ears that have betrayed you.
@@paulcosta5854 Righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht 😂
Boy those days must feel like 10 lifetimes ago..
don't cry because its over, smile because it happened
Wow, never knew this existed.
What a treat for Ratt Heads like me.
Me too! I remember when I was 11 or 12 and my dad came home with Ratt album. Im 27 now and I still listen to Ratt and all the bands in this genre! Thanks dad! Haha
I was in 10th grade ......man the memories. kids today got shit
ME TOO!
They were so glammy, and such great musicians. 1985/86 looked similar, in some ways, to the Bolan/Bowie/Roxy Music/Sweet era of the early 1970s. Fantastic band.
Man....They were all so young then, and so was I ...The 1980's was the decade that was the very best ! The most fun...WOW. I truly feel sorry for the kids today. A lot of the music is just Shit.
WolfHeavyMetal
A lot of the music in the '80s was shit too.
Yeah but nothing like today.
I'll take the '80s easily, even the pop stuff. I miss being able to watch non-stop videos on MTV all day, especially with so much rock and hard rock in the playlist.
For sure brother.
LIKEWISE!
RATT was a crash and burn band. A perfect band for the 80s.
Enjoy everyday and do not take anything for granted. RIP Robbin.
ratt n roll is a way of life
I was like 17 when they came out,Round and Round was just incredible when MTV came out,Radio just died after that
Warren DiMartini- Underrated guitar player.
Agreed...he was SO young
Back when they were humble and liked each other.
I went to Japan as a high school exchange student in 2005. It would've been so fascinating being there in the 80s, when the high tech was mostly just in Akihabara, the night skyline was filled with neon, and the culture was still primarily Japanese. Going there later was great, but this is a true time capsule.
I have this tape at home. man the first 2 albums rocked hard af
I agree --- but "Dancing Undercover" really stunk --- and all the other albums after that
Robbin 6'5" of pure hotness. He was so beautiful. Such a sad way to go. Warren was right with Robbin, but he was quiet.
Warren was tall just like Robbin, but super humble. That's cool.
+Tammy Sigmon how tall is warren
Tom Kenny
6'8"
Tom Kenny about 5" shorter than Robbin
Robbin was Ratt. He wrote all their core riffs.
I have been a fan of Ratt since the early 80s and the one thing that stood out to me of anything that I saw was the makeup!! I did not remember all the makeup before but I am sure it was there... Even today at 54 I still like to crank Ratt from my car stereo quite often thanks to an ancient technology called compact discs.
Yeah, I agree about Juan. He's just a very polite, classy guy. Robbin was the same too, very intelligent, well-spoken, thoughtful, and a really gentle soul. Off-topic, but what ethnicity is Stephen? He looks at least partly Native American.
I'm curious to know Stephen's ethnic background too. Can't find it anywhere and he sure doesn't look white.
SP is mexican. Friends called him the buck tooth mexican
Which "Steven" and this one looks like a transgender
Stephen Stephanie (split personality), Juan Juanita (same), Robbin Robyn, Bobby Roberta............Warren is just Ferris Bueller with a rocker wig
Who fucking cares ya weirdo
Juan is such a good talker.
When everyone was young AND happy. Well, at least outwardly.
I have this video on VHS. I watched it so many times. I wish I can find it on DVD or digital but I am so thankful I found this on TH-cam. Great memories, fun band, loved their music .... they totally rocked!!
It's out on dvd & laser disc as well. Look on EBay & Amazon. It's well worth every penny
Yeah I bought the VHS at a Mom and Pop Video store. Still have it.......Amazing!
thanx for uploading this!@ i love RATT my fave=) and robbin is my fave, i looovvee him ♥♥ ive looked for this for YEARS and havnt found it, so thanx!
Awesome interview. Thanks for sharing.
@lollipuddle I think you're right. Juan has always given me the impression that he is well spoken, intelligent and a great deal of fun to be around. He still does and that's why I'm a fan to this day.

They were a great looking band...killer tunes, great show
Ratt is the best band ever. There, I said it.
back in 1984
Still stands in 2019
@Greg Hubbard so true also my time my music they never were close to best. I do like some of there songs. The eighties had so many great bands best time for music all generes period. But ratt the best no ay in hell.
Warren strikes me as a quiet guy, introvert who isn't a very good speaker. I admire him more now because I'm the same way, he's a big influence on my guitar playing.
I find guitarists to be shy, don't know why that is
Hard to watch in 2021 but in context of the time period and culture back in 85 this was BADASS
Nah..great to watch...makes you appreciate how less uptight people were back then and enjoyed life unlike today where people have a stick up their asses when it comes to being offended
RATTNROLL 4 ever
Crosby was a big dude. That was a crazy vending machine thing he used
Wow just got my youth back even if just for a bit
Ben Stiller in Zoolander is just like Juan in this interview
warren is a dream
AWESOME!!
1:47 "Warren DeMartini" got more handsome by age .-)
Agreed...he was so young
Judging by their replies, that must've been a fun tour
Their makeup is so perfect
Warren DeMartini was really the ideal hot band guy.
Agreed!! Hes the axe slinger!
Crosby. Nuff said.
Warren 😍😍🤩🤩🥺🥺
So I always see those dolls of RATT members in these videos. Where on earth can I find one?! Warren DeMartini is my Idol, and that would be awesome to have!
They were made by their Japanese fans!
The dolls are cool for sure!
Best decade for rock was the 80s...a total blast haha
Rip Frankie Banali from Quiet Riot
This era of Ratt rules, in our opinion!
xoxo
The Clarences
Absolutely, Craig!
***** Awesome, Craig! xoxo The Clarences (Robert, Erin & Leslie)
It doesn't take away the fact that Juan has no history of even thinking of having a boyfriend. He was a rather faithful husband to his wife, though, considering the lifestyle of 80's bands. LOL
Juan has, to me, always seemed to be the most business oriented...
Fun and simplistic in a way
So sad Robin Crosby passed.
Got to see them in speaking rock El Paso Texas last year were are getting old but they still rock
Gold.
ratt cd have been one of the biggest rock bands ever.partying and infighting messed it up
epocas de oro
3:00 What happened to clothes with any colour at all? God the 90s and beyond ...
Juan is a great bandmate!
Can't find part 1 here on youtube...
RIP King
3:00 How I'd like to have shirts like the one Bobby has there. Now it's all black all the time. I think Blotzer had the best taste in clothes.
1000th like from this Ratt Gang..
Where is the first part?
thats what im wondering
anyone have a link for part 1 ?
Looking for that myself
I thought that was pretty cheeky when Stephen went to go kiss the cardboard cutouts by the Famicom poster, lmao.
I just figured it out,remember in the video "You Think Your Tough" there's a very quick shot of Jake in that video,I mean it's less than a second towards the end of the song.I noticed none of the video's are on Pt. 1 or Pt.2 so that's why they listed him under Special Appearence.Oh Well Whatever huh.
Atleast the video for Lay It Down was already done..
@DARRINCONNOR1 yes i know all that but in part 1 of this video it says in the text that jake e lee is in the video,,,hes not in the video
If you can please reupload part1
fuck yeah ratt kicks ass. enough said
Bobby Flotzer with his metal version of Miami Vice outfit. Lol
Bobby Flotzer!! I believe there's a "B" somewhere in his last name!
@@bryanfauber3920 Bobby Flotzerb? :D
JUAN IS GORGEOUS!!!!COOL!!! I mean...he's not...cool..he's hyper! xD
Emilia Jakobsson Juan was si freaking hot and sexy 😘
something sad about Robin and that giant beer.
i miss robin
Robin: "Alright...that outta do it". Pulling a huge king can of draft from a vending machine. Maybe that's why they called him King. I know, bad joke.
Where are all the other parts?
I'm only 17 but I love old time rock culture n their styles, don't hate me for that
It refers to the "You Think You're Tough" video. Isn't he in it?
cool
@EncryptedGod I got your message that you had watched it. Juan's voice is naturally high-pitched (he sang on the high harmonies on Ratt's songs and you can get the full effect of his voice on his Liquid Sunday release) but he's not swishy. He was married and has two kids (not that it means anything necessarily but from what I know of him he's straight). I've had some exchanged with him online and he really is a nice guy.
First heard round and round on vinyl
Part 1 Link Anybody?
No Robbin, no Juan, NO RATT!
What??
@EncryptedGod I see what you mean, but I think it's more that he's just a really lovely person :)
@earlyblue Yes Jake E.Lee was a former member of Ratt.There are demos on U-tube, at least I no at one tinme there were early demos
where is part 1? I had this video on vhs and someone stole it at a party
where is part 1??
@earlyblue MY BAD DUDE ,YOU'RE RIGHT THERE IS DEFINITELY NO "SPECIAL APPEARENCE" BY JAKE.I EVEN WATCHED VID AGAIN JUst to make sure.
Sure Juan!
Warren is the only one not wearing makeup off stage.
Part 1 ?
Stephen looks off he's face😁
Where is part 1?
So their songs are instrumentals with lyrics and vocals?
That one second counts. As do Carmine Appice and Herman Rarebell's seconds. Legally, they cannot not mention them.
3:37 I want these t-shirts. 😍
🤘😆🤘
I wanna be that cardboard cut out
They should have named the 1st album "Out of the Closet". Don't get me wrong. I'm a die hard Ratt fan, but by todays standards, these guys have some serious alternative lifestyle tendencies, if you know what I mean.
