I was there around 7th row on the arena. It looked cool he rolled and stood up like a volley ball player and did not think he fell.

Back in '90, I rode my first Greyhound bus ride to Ceder Rapids from Austin, TX. It was an adventure.😊 I did't know Cheap Trick opened for Ratt. This article is an interesting find. www.allmusic.com/blog/post/the-time-cheap-trick-opened-forratt

🥹37years later, he's a changed man. Nowadays he does meet & greets after shows to take times to listen to fans. 🙏

😳

Stephen appears @3:58 for a minute. It was a few minutes before the concert started. 20 years later in 2007, Stephen spared more time for me to ask him questions.😊

This is a segment of TV program called, Music Tomato World. Japanese metalheads call this music critic, Seisoku-san, but as musicians worldwide call him, Masa Ito. 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.

@@eternalservant Amazing story,. Yes, I have heard of him, he had a huge influence on rock music and even record labels. Thank you for posting , very cool footage.

True..Its the culture, they actually revere the rock starts as Godlike. Crazy.

LOL. DeMartini.

@@FearzeroMartini without alcohol=demartini

Jane Morgan that’s a good album!!

That's awesome

"Dancing..." is the last great RATT album.

You're so lucky. I'm jealous. 😭 He's my favourite member of Ratt, and I was only 6 years old when he died. 😓 I want to invent a time machine so I could live in 80s. He was so gorgeous man. 😍💔

I would have done anything to meet Robbin but he sadly died before I was even born

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.

@@eternalservant Wow! you're very lucky to have had the opportunity know them in their best time 80's.. I'm fan of Ratt since 2003(I´m 32) and I wish to know them someday even that could be imposible because I don't live in US and They have never visited my country so far.. anyway, thanks for share your experiences and thoughts with us.. greetings from Ecuador... Ratt & Roll 4eva!

@@eternalservant Thanks for sharing that with us...

I meet them in Memphis Stephen was a total jerk/douchebag I didn't say a word to him I saw how he treated two girls and kicked them out of the backstage area this was the dancing undercover tour

@@seanstevens4635 Why was he kicking the girls out of the backstage area and not security or something?

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.

On top of the world. lol..

I know Bobby was being kimdof creepy

Well he's a prick, so. Biggest asshole in the band.....and not that great of a drummer.

Thats a drummer brain for ya. Creepy.

But then he hugged her wiped her tears and cheered her on.

No, he wasn't 😠😠

Yeah LOL he was trying to eat the poor girls face kinda creepy she couldn't have been more than 15 or so.

"Mom, is that my real father?" LOL!!! 😄

Somewhere there's a 6'2" Japanese person thats 33 yrs old
