Robbin Crosby Career

Career

Crosby appeared in the San Diego band Mac Meda in the 1970s. Crosby was in Phenomenon, 1980-1985, which also featured future Warrior member Parramore McCarty and was released just one single. Rob Lamothe, Jr., appeared in the band Aircraft's live demo, and Vivian Campbell, a Dio/Whitesnake/Def Leppard guitarist, appeared in Riverdogs the same year.

Crosby was one of the original members of the San Diego rock band Mickey Ratt, but he was later rechristened simply Ratt. "Round and Round," "Wanted Man," and "Lay It Down" are among Ratt's songs that will feature him. Based on "Round and Round," the album Out of the Cellar went to triple platinum.

Crosby was dating actress Tawny Kitaen when he joined Ratt, and she appears on both the Ratt EP (1983) and Out of the Cellar (1984).

In the coming years, Crosby will purchase a home in Los Angeles's Hollywood Hills. Laurie Carr, a Playboy colleague, married him in 1987, later divorcing in 1991. There were no children in the household.

Crosby left Ratt eventually. Crosby spent time as a producer for Lillian Axe before he left.

Crosby talked about how heroin use and his HIV status had a positive effect on his life in a VH1's Behind the Music interview in June 1999.

"What has drug addiction done for me?"

He asked. "It's cost me my work, my fortune, and essentially my sex life when I discovered out I was HIV positive."

Crosby revealed in 2001 that he had AIDS and had been HIV positive since 1994. He had been in and out of the hospital for eight years dealing with back pains and health issues related to HIV. To fill his days, he became a Little League coach and worked on a guitar fan/collector project, which was to produce a limited-edition run of Jackson King V "Big Red" replica guitars.

Crosby also performed various musical projects, including first (post-Ratt) reuniting with Perry McCarty, Krys Baratto, Dino Guerrero, and Mark Lewis as an updated version of the Secret Service, a moniker used by McCarty and Crosby previously for their pre-Ratt San Diego band. He served with the Bill&Kev&War Party in El Paso briefly in 1996 before heading to El Paso. Juan Croucier, a former collaborator and ex-Ratt bassist, was one of his last projects.
