* DrugsAreBad: Robbin Crosby was excruciatingly honest about what his substance abuse did for him - it forced him to leave Ratt, burned up most of the money he had earned in their heyday, left him constantly in and out of rehab, and caused him to contract HIV. It also eventually cost him his life, as he died of an overdose.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Warren [=DeMartini=] (technician) and Robbin Crosby (performer) had this dynamic. Warren was the melodic and refined lead player with lots of clean legato and wide, lyrical bends, as well as a notable aversion to overtly flashy playing (he could and sometimes did play fast runs, but by his own admission, he wasn't a fan of cheap crowd-pleasing moments and liked being a more subtle player), while Robbin was the more traditional blues-rock player with a style heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Michael Schenker.
