Guitarist Robbin Crosby was one of the founding architects of 1980s metal, pioneering the glam/hair metal genre with his band Ratt. Their unique fusion of metal, hard rock, punk and pop cemented Ratt as MTV mainstays throughout the decade. Alongside Stephen Pearcy's vocals, Crosby's neoclassical guitar playing - fluid tapping solos accenting blues-inspired riffs - powered the band through multi-platinum success. Tragedy struck amidst fame, as Crosby's substance abuse and later health struggles led to his dismissal from Ratt, decline, and early death at just 42. But Crosby's creative legacy persists through era-defining guitar lines and solos on classic Ratt singles like "Round and Round,” “Lay It Down," and “Back for More.” This video explores the rapid rise and tragic fall of one of the 1980s' quintessential metal guitar heroes.
