So who where you favortie bands to hang with from that time? I was a huge fan of early stuff by Ratt, Great White, Rough Cutt, Heavy Pettin, Dokken, Black n Blue and others
It was great hangin' with all of them. Hung out the most with Ratt, Great White and Dokken because we all lived in the same town in the L.A. area (Redondo Beach) and recorded at the same studio, Total Access Recording (also in Redondo Beach). Then when we would go to the Hollywood area (about 30 minutes north), we would hook up with Motley, Metallica, Guns & Roses and lots of other metal biggies.
It's like...whoever was in concert...everyone else was hookin' up back stage. This was true whether we were in L.A. or Dallas or whereever.
It was an ass-kicking time, man. I personally knew Jack Russell of Great White the best. I haven't spoken with him in a while, but next time he comes to Denver, I could tell the security who I was and Jack would probably come out and gimme a big ol' hug and shout "Robbie Blackmore!!" in a fake British accent.
