Warren's piercing hot sound/Gain on his pick-ups reminds me of the sound Ace Frehley could get.
The song The Morning After from Out of The Cellar is my favorite. The solo on that song is killer as well.

I met Warren on a few occasions, & he is a TRUE guitar geek! Love him. One of the nicest people I’ve ever encountered in (& out) of the music industry. Just saw Kings of Chaos (sans Warren) over Memorial Day Weekend. Great show! Orianthi is 🔥🔥🔥 ✌🏼

@@greatguitaristoftherockera2833 There are so many great ones, àllways love Warrens aggressive, crunchy, scratchy tone that he plays with attitude and emotion. Yes he is one of many greats but my personal favorite. Wish he would come out of retirement and get back out there it's in his blood. Peace.......... Great video on Warrens story.

In your direction is a great solo
I was re-listening to the detonator record, and was paying closer attention to all the sizzling solo work interweaving throughout songs. His lead work is just exquisite.

Can't wait on love!! Warren shreds through most of the song!!
Warren will always be one of my favorites. I can honestly say in my top 3. I first heard of RATT through record store talk in Ft. Wayne, The Wooden Knickel. It was back in either 83 or 84. I flew to El Paso to see a friend. RATT was playing at a club called the APPLE. After seeing him play live, I was blown away and have been a fan ever since. I can play RATT songs but I have never been able to play like him... lol. You can have a group of guys play the same song through the same gear and not have them sound alike... You can pick Warren's chops out blind folded :)

I had the pleasure of seeing RATT at the old Capitol Center in Landover MD. Poison opened and CC Deville definitely played a great show, he was the king of arpeggios for sure. Warren D came out and played exactly what I needed to hear and how the guitar is meant to be played.
Great channel! I’ve watched a couple videos & I appreciate that you just gave me the info I want & keep it short so my ADD brain doesn’t wander

It’s always cool to catch bands before they get big. Thanks for the comment.
Detonator was a great album! It had a slightly different "feel" than their previous albums, especially Reach for the Sky. I did enjoy Reach for the Sky but, (IMO) most of it didn't have that melodic and harmonic flow that really set RATT apart from others. I've been a RATT fan since I was 14, have every cassette/CD they recorded and will ALWAYS love me some RATT-N-ROLL!

Warren was a true prodigy. The thing that separated Ratt from the rest was their dual-axe attack played in perfect sync, or with one on acoustic and another on lead guitar. Their guitars were instantly known, no matter the song back then. King Crosby did a good job keeping up with Warren when needed, until his health declined. I really miss those days.

Do you think he would have played/ sounded different if he played a different brand?
well Eddie must a been great if we talking about him on a video on Warren DeMartini...LOL thats saying something...
Back for more and the solo is awesome....its an art.... its old school just like you dont throw away an artist piece or work...people dont play like this in new music... they dont shred that way anymore ... But thats Warrens style of roll with his fingers i like it better than Van Halens style notice Warren keeps it tight while Eddie VHs is more loose all over the place..both great but i just preffer Warrens style

That's one of the dumbest comments of all time , Warren worshiped Edward and is nowhere remotely close to being in Edwards league . Warren will tell you himself he's not even close to being on the Kings level .
Warren fucking rules. This video is weak tho.
