What Happened Between Stephen Pearcy & Jason Green?
In this video, I take a closer look at the recent drama in the hair metal world: Stephen Pearcy (of RATT fame) and his band parting ways with tour manager Jason Green from the “Waste Some Time With Jason Green” YouTube channel. Pearcy’s guitarist Erik Ferentinos posted on Facebook announcing that Green was fired from both the Stephen Pearcy solo band and the Pearcy/DeMartini project, citing allegations of harassment, cyberbullying, and fraud. The post also urged fans to unsubscribe from Green’s channel and mentioned efforts to have it removed permanently. I break down the Facebook post and discuss what might have led to this split. No insider scoop here—just analyzing the claims and the fallout in the Ratt/Pearcy scene. What do you think happened? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

I liked WSTWJG until I watched several of his “members only” videos. In some of those, most of them are taken down now, he and Michelle made fun of people. Old people. Fat people. Their words, not mine. (Mostly on the cruises, but also in the audiences of Ratt concerts) It was ridiculous. I was thinking, “What? Are we in junior high again with a couple of mean girls??” You don’t make fun of people. It’s common decency to keep your opinion to yourself especially when you’re an adult. And especially on your own YouTube channel. I mean how stupid to insult your own viewers. Jason made comments about anyone over the age of 30 was an old bag or maybe he said old hag? IDK the videos have been removed. And he made a statement about only dating young women. It was gross to me. I mean come on! Those people (audience members and the 80’s cruise people) are technically your employer when they’re the ones buying the tickets which ends up funding the bands/crew, etc. Not to mention viewers of his channel and channel members. If he’s going to insult everyone, no one is going to sub or join. Then, I caught on to him making fun of Stephen Pearcy and bandmates. I was shocked! Like, wtf?? Who makes fun of their current employer and bandmates on YouTube videos?? It wasn’t the smartest move and apparently that (or something worse 🤔) got Jason fired.

Jason said on his YT that when he took the job, due to a low pay grade he would only take the gig of he could still do his YT Channel.(which is how he makes his living) It was given the green light and he owns the footage. Also Jason became friends w/ Johnny after he joined the band.

Seems there’s a lot more to Jason getting fired… some pretty serious allegations have come out about him over the last few days

There's a girl now on Instagram claiming that Jason Green sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old. She's saying that he took her to hotel room assaulted her then bribed her with merch etc. and for a while she was afraid. Will be interesting if more people come forward. Waste some time in prison with Jason Green??

I love RATT, but there is always drama around Pearcy (ALWAYS). I would have no idea about any of this, but the constant drama is apparent. Billy's interview was great.

He was a drama queen, being an old man, he will not change ..It seems like he got over getting access, plane ticket, hotel and food( he ate like he was always starving.) Steven was too nice with him ..I was stupid for contributing to his channel every week…. Pompous individual…

Green always appeared to me to me a slim ball. If I recall, he was previously in the porn industry. It’s an industry that takes advantage of women. He is full of himself.

Do not like Jason but he has every right to earn a living like everyone else! Farentino's move is a bitch move. He should be sued, and he is back tracking as all his slander has been removed from his social media…he has no back bone and actually, Jason put him on the map! He was no one before the tour dairies! So, karma will get to the guy…. Jason loves to talks trash about everyone, that is who he is…but Stephen was all in…he knew about the diaries…this is about something else and no one really knows about it…. I think Jason is doing great by not naming names and just carrying on.

CNN could learn a thing or two from HMG on how to do journalism. That was well rounded info. from every angle. I liked JG show when he had JMonaco on as a regular.

Jason Green has a great channel, dude is full of Satire. He is funny and if people don't get that …… Well that's their fault. I like Ratt, but could really give a FK about their "problems" with Jason. I'm Team Jason Green all-day!!

I always enjoy your shows, and love how open you are about discussing various things/topics. Ironic thing? I don't even know this guy, and to me, 99% of management and managers don't matter. I've met quite a lot of these artists/singers/musicians through the years thanks to my job/profession, and being fortunate to have some friends in the business, and I can honestly say I don't know who this guy is you are referring to. And I don't really care who he is. To hear his behavior towards others? It's childish and immature. And if someone is fired for bullying and FRAUD? That's serious stuff right there. A YouTube channel with 47K subscribers would make him about 800-1500 a month, which isn't cabbage, but at the same time, if he's affiliated with a guy like Stephen, who now wants nothing to do with him? It's likely Stephen is going to get his wish granted, and this guy is going to lose his bank every month. I've never watched or listened to this guy, and having heard what I have from what you presented? I won't. It's not worth my time for a guy that behaves like that. I love your show, and I get tons of info from you, and from the topics/ bands you cover. It's introduced me BACK to older bands I hadn't listened to in awhile. And re-introduced me to albums like dog eat Dog, Ultraphobic, Danger Danger material that I had loved for years and hadn't listened to in a minute. Thanks for all you do.

Billy Corgan is a terrible interviewer, always interrupting! The best STFU and let the guest talk!

Michelle S. King is an associate attorney, not a co-owner of Court King Injury Law in Nevada. Many are assuming she owns the firm because of the name, but she is an employee whose actual legal experience is in personal injury and slip-and-fall cases, not copyright or music litigation. Using a law license for harassment or to send frivolous threats over social media comments is a serious matter. Under Rules of Professional Conduct 3.1 and 8.4, such actions are considered professional misconduct. This can lead to a formal State Bar investigation, public reprimands, or even suspension of her license. Ultimately, her boyfriend’s insistence on using her name to threaten his audience is putting her professional career in serious jeopardy.

It's kind of funny, while I was a RATT fan back in the day, Jason's Tour Diaries was the reason I started watching Pearcy again. Stephen was a mess for so many years I lost track of him and for good reason. As far as Johnny Monacco goes, Pearcy was lucky to have him because that guy can play. Anyway….done with the drama, done with Pearcy and Ferentino's as well.
The bald podcaster Jason was talking about was Billy Corgan. I also find Pearcy apologizing for Jason's behavior rather hollow when Stephen stumbled around the stage for years being drunk and high while taking peoples money for a substandard show. Obviously Stephen is better now but he's no saint. BTW, Monacco, is a far better player than Ferentino could ever hope to be.

Jason made those boring Vlogs interesting. Erik was Rarely in his videos and i suspect thats because he has a Vlog exactly like Jason with alot more Live Footage. Erik has a fraction of the viewers Jason does. Jason will be alright, he has tons of connections, he'll have no problem getting work.

There is a pendulum always moving between arrogance and humility.Everyone of us is responsible to keep it close to humility.When it hits on arrogance, lessons will be learned.
