Hardest working man in the biz. I ran sound for dt and couple of his other projects (SSIK, GMC) over years in the 90s at the Backroom and we both worked for Dino Lee (Mr. Fabulous) for awhile. He was roadie and drove the van and I twisted the knobs. Fun times. Honestly, the most together, humble, driven, and groovy guy with an flappable passion for music and performing. 🤘

What a great guest! He was barely asked any questions, he just talked and talked and while doing so gave us great information and great stories! I will definitely checking out his podcast!

Corpus Christi Bluff Rat, here. Was mesmerized learning Jason was from "in town" Corpus. Got the chance to hang with him a couple years ago - cool dude.

Interview with David Roach or Chris Gates from Junkyard would be real cool.

Corpus Christis’ finest musician in that Jason McMaster a great lyricist

This is such a great interview! Jason is a natural and great at telling his story! Love the details he offers up. Love their first album! Still listen to this day.

Oh man, can’t wait for this. I suggested this over a month ago when you were asking for ideas for people to interview.

Hard to imagine anyone asking McMaster to clarify his answers here. Glad that he declined the calls from Skid Row. If he was going to make a record with anyone established it should have been Slash and Duff.

Jason is an incredible performer and a great guy. Met him many years ago and did some shows with him in various band in the late 90s/early 2000s. Always a class act and treated me and my wife and friends great. Love Dangerous Toys-one of the greatest live bands ever. (Chester Moore)

Hi Jason, I just wanted to thank you for all of the interviews that you have done. I discovered glam metal about eight months ago and I've been learning about the different bands, from back in the 1980s. I wasn't around then, so it's really interesting to watch these interviews, because it gives me some perspective as to what these bands were like. I especially enjoyed the interview that you did with Stephen Percy, Ted Poley, and Nicole Couch. Keep up the amazing work! 🎸

Been listening to album since 89, nice to know awesome history.

Metal Dave here. Jason's co-host on the Talk Louder podcast mentioned at the top of this episode. Nice job, Jason Green! Enjoy all your episodes, but obviously this one is close to home. Keep up the good work.

Soo Cool!!!! Dangerous Toys have been on my auto play list for years! . Jason's voice is so good the album. I have been a big fan for years and love to hear the back story! thanks for this video!

Best one by far! AMAZING stories and information. I'll check his first recording band and his podcast.

I always thought McMaster was if Axl rose and Sebastian Bach had a love child.

Great interview Jasons... I just picked up a original mint CD of DT debut for 6 bucks a few months ago, love it!

Saw that package tour ran into Jason just hanging out in the crowd. Cool dude.

I saw them with The Cult and Bonham on the tour Jason talks about being pulled off of to write Hellacious Acres

This is great! I've been a fan of Dangerous Toys since they came out. So cool to hear their back story!

Very cool bro. Excited about this one. Some Texas metal blowin up here. TY Again.

Great interview. Thank you!

I don't recall listening to Dangerous Toys before, although I recognized the name (gonna change that), but this was a really fun and interesting interview. Jason is a great guest. I enjoyed hearing about the evolution of the clown artwork in particular.

Love to hear a part 2 on this where he could elaborate more on the Pissed and AFKADt albums as well as Broken Teeth who are an awesome band in their own right

This was great Jason! Keep it up man! 😎👍

No one cooler than Jason McMaster. Broken Teeth need more credit. Thank you for this one - really enjoyed the listen!

Great Interview!!Learned alot. Thanks!

Dude! Thank for sharing about you guys being almost part of pantera! Its a great story to hear i didnt know this if you dont tell it 🎃

Love the interview Jason! It would be cool for you to interview Rex Carrol from Whitecross! Thanks Jason!

Wasn’t a fan of that band but watched because I like your interviews. Good answers from him!

Jason rocking the MIDNIGHT shirt too. right on

Great interview.....Pissed is a badass record. Promise the Moon and Zombie Dance are just absolutely immense tunes.

I like this guy….I knew him from his band of course, but he seems like a good dude…..great interview Jason Green. You are a gracious host.

Great stuff brother

Thank you Jason !! one of my favorite singers !!!!

McMaster,such an underrated talent...amazing writers,amazing foothold in the scene.....My Hellacious Acres cassette still getting so much play............Thanx so much Jason.......

I was feelin' kind of scared when listening to this! I waited all week to hear this!

Great episode and an equally solid guest. Jason seems like a guy you want to sit and bs with and maybe go 2nd hand cd shopping with. imho the first 2 DT records are quintessential with Best of Friends being a sleeper that is probably one of my favorites.

Cool to realize the impetus for Jason and " Talk Louder "....🤘😎🎸⚡🔊🍻

Former neighbor of mine in Austin. I moved when my marriage went to hell, but Jason was an awesome guy and about as real as they come.

Can't wait for this one!!!!!

Love the interview thanks

Can't wait for this Jason G :) ...given how long Jason M's list of bands and catalogue goes, I'm wondering if this will end up being a multiple chapter story. Still holding on to an original Dangerous Toys Clown (front)/"Sportin' A Woody'(back) concert tee from 1989 - maybe worn a couple of times. Was too young to go to the show but managed to snag one in my local resale rock shop - that existed at the time. The front art on the shirt was so well done, I could never fathom washing it so hardly ever got worn. May have to pull it out from its frame and throw it on for this interview.

Teri Tims was singer for Onyxx. She was a good singer as I have her album as proof. Thanks to Jason for taking over duties!

Just stumbled into this interview excellent interview excellent Storytelling by McMaster. Jason you gotta bring Jason back so that he can finish his stories. There are certain people you would like to hear more from. Who would have thought....

Great!!! I hope an Interview of some of the guys form WHATCHTOWER too! Amazing Musicians! And Ron Jarzombeck proyects....(SPASTIK INC, BLOOTED SCIENCE,...) ;-)

I wore out Dangerous toys first album i listened to it so much. It kicked ass. Even the broken teeth stuff was really good. Miss the great days of hard rock

Well, thanks to this episode I discovered......Watchtower. What a great band. Progressive, technical thrash. Can't stop listening to Control and Resistance.....🤘❤

Very cool, Jason, and Jason !!! 🤘😎🤘

LEGEND!!!!! Great voice, great band. Dangerous Toys were soooo good

Scatterbrain/Ludichrist,one of my favorite bands of ALL time.....Jason,you`ve GOT to get Tommy Christ,Guy Brogna,or Glen Cummings on.....such a talented band.......AND East Coast..........

Love it. Jason is soo calm. The way he ding I taught he would be way alive. I played that casette sooo many times. Teasin' Pleasin' and Ten Boots what freakiygood tunes. Is there a way to get that Jack in the box?

wow, loved this interview... I spent months plugged into my sonywalkman (with auto-reverse bitches!!) wearing out Sonic Temple and Dangerous Toys smoking & drinking and playing Zelda Dentures of Link and completely lost in the music...... I'm an old man now but will never forget how those albums made me feel and how much they influence my emotions when I'm playing guitar..... Epic albums, both. Epic bands. Thank you JG and JMcM and Co. Also, I asked a few people about the HA album and not a one said anything sounded peculiar which to this day boggles my mind because it is soooo obvious, it sounded exactly like JMcM said "a little hot", or something I dunno... I bought it two more times cuz I thought maybe I had a jacked up copy but no, it was intentional.

So cool hearing these stories.

Hey Jason, any chance you could have a chat with any of the guys from Tesla? Even Tommy Skeoch would be very interesting. Jeff is a very cool cat. Also, by the way, Billy White would be killer! He was also with Don Talkenn on his solo album.

Such a great interview! Loved hearing the origin of the signing of Kingofthehill. Another overlooked band that came out just a hair too late in the scene. Frankie Muriel (vocalist) is still active with a different project, and does still play Kingofthehill songs every now and then. Nice bit on Michael Hannon as well. I saw him a number of times with his act, American Dog when they prowled the scene in Columbus, OH in the 2000's. You see him pop up every now and then. I loved Dangerous Toys from the first time that I heard them on Mtv. I'd love to see them put out some more material.

I want the dangerous toys jack in the box he shows off!

The music executives said hurry up and make a new record for us because grunge is coming.

I'm an 80 hair band child. Great band. I love that song, lets get Naughty, Naughty I like it that way. Great song.

Loved these guys awesome

Jason Mick is rockin' a Midnight T shirt!!! Two of my top bands there, Dangerous Toys and Midnight.

Should be a great interview!

I saw Dangerous Toys i. 95 in Grand Rapids Mi in a place called the Rocker. It was attached to a bowling alley.

First to click like and comment. Here comes that dog again!!!!

McMaster is a rock n roll lifer! Respect!

DT by far one of my fave late 80s early 90s metal band. Texas boogie metal.. killer style. Jason rocks. Saw DT open for The Cult with Bonham in Massachusetts early 90s. Badass

Damn! I have to have one of those boxes! Wow!

Great Interview!!! Dangerous Toys is an Underrated band! 🤘🤡🤘

McMaster and the Toys for life..

Met him briefly at Texas Musicians Museum. Down to earth nice guy.

I like Dangerous Toys. They got grouped into that hair metal/glam scene but they were just a Texas metal and hard rock band filled with good looking dudes with long hair (like a lot of others)... Jason seems like a cool and humble guy

What a great interview! Wow, that fucking clown was the shit!!! And I can draw too . I saw that cassette at a place called Pick N Save in Jacksonville Florida and I remember seeing that album cover and going who the fuck are these guys??? so I asked the clerk have you ever heard of a band called Dangerous Toys and he was like yeah they’re kind a like Aerosmith..🤷🏻‍♂️So I bought the cassette and wore that thing out. I introduced that cassette to a lot of my friends and they loved it so here’s me I find you guys played your music to all my friends and they loved it and now they want me to draw that clown on every fucking thing, some got tattoos on their arms I did poster boards in colored pencils of that clown still to this day. People ask me about Dangerous Toys clown, and I’m just a fan that found you in a Pic-N- Save store. Jason McMaster, what a cool guy. I saw them play in Orlando with Junkyard my buddy and I went to go see them and I’ll never forget. When Dangerous Toys came out, The guitar player came out and tripped on his cord and fell flat on his face, and he tries to stand up and you could see the stars and shit circling around his head, the band was like what the hell just happened great show though.🤡

Great interview, he is an interesting guy. I used to stare at that first cassette clown and be mesmorized by the clown back in high school.

I saw Broken Teeth 2x in SF/Oakland. Jason is a great frontman.

McMaster seems like three people (to me): 1 - The monster singer - whose stage-persona is as fiery as his mane. 2 - The intelligent conversationalist - who keeps you glued to every syllable. 3 - The goofy friend - who you want to listen to records with. For any who weren't around in 1989: "Head-bangers' Ball"-fanatics used to stay up late - to watch these groups premiere. (Adam Curry (with his bad mullet-hair) - was host.) // "Dangerous Toys" was one of those "made for 'M.t.v.'"-bands - that epitomized what we were - for that era: sleazy rockers - boning pump-&-dump bitches. (We'd mock 'Slaughter' - singing "Hump all night; stink all day"!) // Hanging-out at the beach (after blowing our savings at the mall - buying these cassettes), and smoking weed - off of dented soda-cans. (Jason M.'s stories bring it all back: laughs & tears - dude!) A D.T. boxed-set (picture-vinyls) would be rad. ---- To Jason G.: I thank you - for giving us these great inter-views. (They're addicting!) // One group I never hear mentioned - is 'Rock-City Angels', who broke through - in 1988. // 'Geffen' didn't put enough promotion behind them - opting to focus on 'Guns 'n' Roses', and 'R.C.A.' (gradually) fell out of public memory. // Their song "Mary" was co-written with Johnny Depp, who dropped guitar-playing - in favor of acting. (He'd just met Nicholas Cage - whose uncle was Francis Coppola; so...boom - career!) // Bobby Durango (sadly) has passed, but other alumni might be pleased to be contacted and remembered. Here's their "Young Man's 'Blues'" - which I (highly) recommend: - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKx5damZyLnYZmg.html . Andrew (Sat., 10-16-21) (2:48 a.m.)

Man I want to give you mad props and commend you on your patience with the singer of dangerous toys oh my God, ole Red is very wind LOL. He goes into great detail about things and bands that nobody else knows but him 4 minutes on in and you can't get a word in you can't even ask a question you can't even be the good interviewer that you always are LOL but you've asked him like two questions and he went off on some tangent about bands called broken teeth and dangerous tits LOL I really dig your Ratt interviews man. thanks for the work you put into your work

Also love DT another great post 80’s band. #jasonmcmaster #dangeroustoys #post80s

Dangerous Toys one badass metal band. Scared and teasing n pleasing awesome 🤘

Ok so picture this if when Axle Rose first started becoming a pain G&R fired him and put Jason in his place 🥂 perfect fit

I worked with a guy who had the 1st album clown logo tattooed on his arm. I asked him if he was into Dangerous Toys and he said i waa the first person to ever know who that tat was

Jason Mcmaster is the real deal great guy to

MIDNIGHT shirt \m/ I'm impressed

Just bought the Pissed Record on vynil

Dangerous Toys are such an underrated band!

Dangerous Toys signing to Columbia Records is a very unique situation. What a story that was! I saw them 3x (twice as a club headliner & once with The Cult) on that first tour and they were awesome every time, then the 2nd album came out and for whatever reason they weren't booked into my city, the 2nd album bombed bad and that is probably why touring was cut short for it. I am glad he talks about my home town heroes Broken Toyz (KingoftheHill) and Jason is right, that band was bad-ass. KOTH should have been huge.

Played gigs with Broken Teeth quite a few times Jason is the coolist. Played every gig, even the sparsely attended ones with a fury unbridiled🤙

I always thought / wondered if the name was taken from the Watchtower song "Dangerous Toy" very ironic they come out the same year 89? 🤔 In any case loved DT since the debut. I liked it as much as GNR nasty dirty raunchy rock a genre classic from cover to the tracks. McMaster has so much raw swagger on those albums

Great last name homie!

All right!

I have the Broken Teeth album Bulldozer. Great vocalist

“Darrell Was Always A Guitar Legend In Texas” - Jason McMaster The first record is called Metal Magic and the second record has the song HEAVY METAL RULES. The songs I Am The Night and Valhalla are 180 bpm Fuckin Metal and the first record with Phil is called POWER METAL. TYVM for Not referring to the older Pantera as glam and associating yourself with lazy media regurgitating status quo. Peace

Awesome

Damn, wanted to hear more about the "Artist" album. That is a strange album and the song "Transmission" is trippy.

It was truly great songs in a good, band Dangerous Toys they made a great album or two, this world would metapmorph through time in garbage electronic music to rave party's here & their, it was annoying for a while till it had its 15 minutes of fame, it never lasted but noir HEAVY METAL is still kicking! to this day, Amen!

I met Jason years ago at a now defunct rock club in Charlotte, called Jeremiahs. He came to the parking lot before the show hanging out with the fans, super solid dude, totally cool!

🤘Talk Louder!🤘

Would be great if you could get Kip or Reb from Winger.

This has me sportin' a woody.

Love to hear from Jizzy Pearl of LOVE/HATE and all the original Members? they still got it! HMR.

Like I said....bad ass singer
