BLAS ELIAS - Slaughter, Rock Star Movie, Blue Man Group, TSO & everything in between 

The success here with Blas is what happens when you are talented, a nice person and treat people well. Fact!!! Being the other way, well, you see how that ends up. Great job here!

Some people may have felt that Blas was all flash and no substance due the the image stuff. (Stick twirls etc.) Let me tell you, Blas is a monster. He's really, really good.

Good to hear hes jamming with Slaughter again ...

I remember when I saw Slaughter, they opened for Cinderella. We didn’t have tickets to begin with, all my friends bought tickets ahead of time. I was with this one buddy, we decided “hey, let’s go check out Cinderella, I think there’s still tickets left”. So we walked up to the tickets counter, not expecting very good tickets. So we walked up to the ticket counter and asked for 2 tickets as close to the stage as you have. The ticket girl said “I have two second row center tickets available if you want them ?”. Apparently, a ticket agency cancelled. It blew my mind what luck we had that night. We were walking in towards our seats and looking up, here are all our friends yelling at us “ hey how the hell did you get those seats !!” from way up in the first bleachers. To top the night off, two of my friends were in the front row, they had backstage passes. I gave my other friend a 5 dollar bill and told her to get it signed by the bands, because I had no paper or a pen. I still have the bill, what 30 years later. Lol

We need to hear where he found the fountain of youth...the dude hasn't aged a day in 30 yrs!

Thank you for this awesome interview

Blas is an amazing drummer and such a nice guy. Great interview!

Blas has always been one of my all-time favorite drummers! I modeled much of my style of drumming after him - his stage presence and performance are always very engaging. His active and sober lifestyle has been a beacon of hope in my life and my quest for continued sobriety. Also- his birthday is a day after mine :) Thank you Blas!!

The slaughter guys always treated their fans great all awesome guys

Blas is a super cool dude, seems like the nicest guy ever!! How cool would it be to jam with your son or daughter?? Killer interview!

Blas seems like a super cool guy, and he definitely hasn't aged a bit 🤘

As a fellow Texan & Slaughter fan I am glad that Blas has had a great career doing what he loves! But definitely glad to hear he's back with the Slaughter guys!

My good friend & I met Blas & Slaughter after a small club gig in Orange Park, Florida back in 1997. They were all so super nice, especially Blas. Friendly, took the time to chit chat and hang out with fans! Awesome memory from my freshman year of college 🎶💙

I remember meeting Blas and the guys at the Mall of America on their 3rd album. Everyone was cool, but Blas stuck out as more personable. He commented to me on how he loved my guitar necklace my mom bought for me as a Christmas gift while I was living in Hollywood in 89-90 a few years prior. I felt that cool connection with him on that. I felt bad because they were fighting the grunge wave at the time and you can tell in their faces at the time they need to win or hang it up. Then Tim died... Much love to Brother Blas and to you, Jason, for a great series of interviews from our musical peers in the greatest generation of music.

Funny seeing he still has the "This space for rent" kick drum head. Lol

He is still so handsome. Obviously he never abused drugs and alcohol. Successful to this day with TSO & other projects. Doting dad and husband. What a guy.

Man I don’t ever watch videos this long but I really enjoyed this. Blas is an awesome drummer and an incredibly genuine, down to earth, humble guy who deserves all the success he’s had. God bless!

Wonderful interview- have met Blas with Raiding the Rock Vault and have seen him play with TSO. Good guy and definite Rock Icon.

I took in my first TSO show this past weekend. I have to admit (coming from a drummer), Blas caught, and kept my attention, the whole show. Stick twirls and all. He was an incredible showman and helped make it an amazing show. Don't know him from Adam. But he's more than just really good at showmanship. Appreciate his amazing talent (as well as the rest of TSO). TSO spreads a great message! If you listen, you'll hear it :)

In 1998 I met Blas and SLAUGHTER. He was nice! Nice interview! Blas looks 26!

I still have all my 80`s Slaughter pics and I'm 50yo!!!!

This was fun to watch. I was one of the fans calling that number on Blas’ kick head.

I love every single SLAUGHTER member and album as well. Greetings from Spain ya'll 🤜🤛

It's nice to see these videos of old 80s rockers and learn how down to earth they are. Love the fact he's talking about the guerrilla marketing they would do: postcards to fans, calling them on the phone! Who even does that? But that attitude is what it takes.

Great interview and seems like a hell of a nice guy! First time I saw him with TSO, I didn't even know he had joined the group. I recognized his style of performance, leaned over to my wife and said, " That's Blas Elias up there!" Looked it up and sure enough, it was him. Wish I has a fraction of his talent.

My band opened up for them in the early 90’s. Everyone in that band were super nice, no egos and genuine good guys. They listen to us play and I looked identical to Randy Rhoads, like his twin, and I played lead guitar and Dana kept saying how much I reminded him of Randy. Randy was my biggest influence and I asked Dana a ton of questions about Randy. He agreed that Randy was the best Rock guitarist ever.

Jason, love these interviews, really wish you would dig into the recording aspect of some of these guys hit songs so we could here about what it was like inside of the studio & how these songs came about

Damn what a nice guy. I guess I will now go listen to the first Slaughter again.

Everyone needs to hear Blas @ 26:00 talk about MTV. MTV was the most revolutionary thing to hit rock since Les Paul. MTV RULED EVERYTHING IN THE 80S. Most casual rock fans do not know (or were too stoned to remember) the 80s and how MTV influenced it all. This is why the hard rock bands of the 70s made the pop rock stuff of the 80s.

Great interview. Saw Firehouse and Slaughter in the early 90's and Blas did his drum solo with ChemLite drumsticks. Was amazing.

Great interview Jason,and damn,what a super nice down to earth guy Blas is,really enjoyed this!!

Fantastic interview! Blas is an upstanding man! He looks so great because if his clean living!

Great interview. Watched every second. Blas has a time machine somewhere.

Great guy, great drummer. He let me play that chrome drumset when my band opened for Tenors of Rock. I gave him a maple snare drum that I converted to an electric drum. I wonder If he still has it

Slaughter was the FIRST band I ever saw live at my first concert ever when they opened up for Poison on their Flesh and Blood tour in Lubbock Texas! I must have been 17 or so and now I'm 47! Time flies but I'm forever greatful for that experience as hundreds of concerts later it opened my eyes and ears to the joy of Live Music!! Great interview and continued success to both of you Jason and Blas!

Killer interview! Can't wait to catch Slaughter live soon! What a chill and cool guy Blas is. He obviously has his act together.

Amazing Talent!Seen him on the kiss our back in the 90's ...Great Interview Than you!

Cool to hear from Blas. Fun fact: I was the 86th person to join the Slaughter fan club (having been in the VVI fan club, I jumped on board before the album was out)

Great interview!! Great guy Blas. Love the Slaughter guys 👍

I jammed with Blas lots of times in Houston before he went out to LA. Several recording sessions too. Super nice guy, very professional, and easy to work with. Wish there were a lot more musicians like him.

This was cool ..loved slaughter in the day ..🎤🎸😎

Great stuff Jason, really enjoying your work on this channel! Just finished this and the jizzy pearl chat 🤘You can tell Blas is a chilled out professional guy, with his head screwed on the right way, he deserves the success (and his healthy alleged net worth)!

Thanks Jason for such an awesome and informative interview with the great Blas Elias! I have followed Slaughter from the beginning and I'm hoping they'll reunite again for some shows in the near future.

Great interview. I would love to see another Sin City Sinners show again. Always a great show. Now I think I'll go watch Rock Star.

Blas is a great guy. I enjoyed this interview.

Great interview! I really enjoyed listening! Thanks for doing it! ❤️💙💜

Was my favorite band back then along with the Scorpions!

Another really down to earth solid guy. Good to see he's doing well

Blas sounds like a great guy, and it's great to hear his rock'n roll career has been a great success.

“If you wanna make it in this business, you gotta write your own tunes, bro!”

Blas was and still is my idol an inspiration for drumming I'm still to this day looking to build the all chrome Ludwig it from up all night or the wild life album very first concert of my life kiss slaughter an danger danger the hot in the shade your I was amazed by his stage presence thank you for a awesome interview an hope one day to meet the legend himself🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

Great drummer!!

He seems like a really down-to-earth dude.

I forgot about Blas acting in the ROCKSTAR movie.

Damn. He is one cool dude. Kind of guy you feel like you have known forever. Great interview bro

another very interesting IN DEPTH history class! I love it

Being from Cincinnati...I was surprised and amused when you spoke about Sudsey Malone's Rock n' Roll Laundry.. Was a great place to catch a show....and do a load of laundry. Great interview...enjoying your content.

Great interview Blas is a good Drummer very good video .☮️🎸

Great interview

Blas had the coolest style of show off rock drumming of any hair metal drummer! He looked the coolest! Hands down.

Well done - two class acts talking about the great lives they've had. You both could've bitched about the past, but you didn't, and that takes class. Thanks for a great interview! And yeah, funny about them 'net worth' sites! Crazy........

Glam and 80’s rock hung on until about 93. By 94 it was dead, but Skidrow had the number 1 album in 92, Poison had a few hits in 92, other 80’s bands were still selling millions of albums.

That was a tough interview just because of music genre change Rock to Grunge and the loss of guitar player. But great stuff I always wondered about Blas being a drummer myself.

Awesome down-home soul......

This is the third Jason Green show I have watched and I really like them. Jason if you monitoring this please tell me more about your background? I tried to look you up but there was a lot of Jason Green's LOL thanks and WELL DONE!

One of my top 5 drum heroes!

Love him always

There is a drum video of Blas here on RU-vid and everyone needs to check it out. He is one kickass drummer!!!

One of my fave drummers. Jason, Zoltan is freaking awesome! Slaughter needs Blas but Zoltan is a beast on drums! I like him in Vince’s band.

Fear No Evil is such a great record!

Thank you for this, saw them in G.R Michigan

Blas Blas Blas Elias, King Of The Wild Frontier
