@Dafyd Maddz 🥴That reminds me of "jam sessions" when I was growing up... Freaking EVERYONE played guitar, but NOBODY played bass or drums, so it would be 4-5-6 mediocre(at best) guitarists screwing around! Later, in the early 90s I discovered a passion and talent for drums that I never really had for guitar. I just wish I would've figured that out about 9 years earlier, then our jam sessions would've been more interesting(and less cringeworthy)! 😁

@@Ishbu101 lynch isn’t mentioned either. That’s because hair metal is still hurting from the stigma that has stung since grunge. It’s lessened now I’ve noticed but it’s still there. Kids in general don’t care about rock but as you said, slash Cobain Eddie Frusciante are names people know, not so much the 80s stuff. It’s far from ubiquitous. Some people would mention DeMartini. It’s the truth anyway and it doesn’t really matter what magazines and layman think. Musicians that study the guitar and take an interest in rock and roll know the truth and that should be enough.

The original had only one pickup, as did all of Warrens Charvels in the 80s. Started incorporating the single coil neck pickup in the late 90s, early 2000s.

Always endearing to see how soft-spoken and down-to-earth this legendary axeman is. I will always remember the first time we discovered the Round and Round vid on MTV back in 84, it would be hard for kids today to understand what a groundbreaking experience that was back then.

Warren was a Monster in the 80$ This guy just poured with excitement, Melodic Shred..just listen to Invasion of Your Privacy:..Never Use Love, Lay It Down,,just incredible playing Awesome...Album after Album...Out of the cellar was just the beginning of Chaos

Warren, Lynch and Skolnick together, now that would be some melodic fire. Could you imagine?!!

Big fan of the torch martini, he's a shredder at heart, but went bluesy style, that's cool too, he mentions how he likes bluesy church gospel music and Bobby brown in one of his other videos, probably that's where his melodic blues style, still love it I can listen to his solos over and over again

I was 16 when I first heard out of the cellar and had been playing for 4 years. I joined my first garage band that summer and had learned nearly every track by ear because thats how we did it back then. Warren immediately became one of my fav players. My fav solos weren't even on the radio played songs but I thought it was his best soloing on all of the albums. I bought my first Charvel because Warren played them, then eventually an ESP because Lynch played them. I liked both players pickup arrangement...double hum at the bridge and single coil at the neck. I couldn't believe the producer on a future album wanted to have a studio musician play the solos instead of Warren. You don't just replace a guitar god.

thanks for your contribution to metal, warren you're amazing

86 was Dancing Undercover my man! Also u used it in the Your In Love video so it was most likely 1985 when Invasion was released. Reach for the Sky was 1988 brother.

Hey Warren, just in case you read these posts, I got one of your old Marshall 4x12 lower cabinets many many years ago and wondered if you did any kind of hot-rodding to it.The jack and ohm switch box on the back is round and has 16 ohm Celestion Vintage 30 G12's. I have pics but not sure if you can send pics to publishers on here or not. Still in same awesome road worn condition. Still has the chalk marks where you placed the mics and of course your stencils on the back. Would love to know more about it. I loved the 70's and 80's.......Best generation EVER. Warren-Amazing hands and such great stage presence!!!!!

First concert I ever saw was Ratt with Bon Jovi in 1985 at Starlight Theater in Kansas City. Good Times.

Warren is one of the greatest. No doubt about it

Invasion was my intro to metal. Awesome work on that album.

Warren D. The one and only...

Interesting fellow, beautiful guitars.

That is an awsome guitar right there.. The first white one. Its simple but mean looking

One of the greats

You could hand me a high end charvel or signature jackson and I would sound like garbage on it....this guy could play a 2x4 with guitar strings nailed to it and sound amazing. Most tone is in the hands. Just look at George Lynchs demos and interviews...its all in the hands and rhythmic choices the player makes.

I only seen ratt in concert one time back in the late 80s I think it was 87, with posion at the Palmer auditorium in Davenport Iowa, thats the only time i Saw them play they were really great back than Im remember that posion opening for them, love both bands I do at ment he has really nice selection of guitars, but my top favorite guitars of his that l really love his cross shord guitar, the white guitar the one he just show and the snake guitar , because I really love snakes ever since I was 5 or 6 years old never been afraid of slimy creepy things I just wish Robin was still around he was really great back than as a guitar player just like Warren they both were great, but Im 54 years old going on 55 in the Dec 9th, should do miss the old ratt, rip King Robin favorite songs round and round you're in love , lay it down, never ues love, shame, shame, shame, whated Man, body talk,way cool Jr, you think you're tough, sweet cheater and lack of communication, but really like all their songs, I just wish I could have seen them more in concert be back than, because than I was really shy myself back than, and not really pretty either back then as well, ratt will always be ratt and roll back then and forever,

I used to pair a Duncan Distortion with a Quarter Pounder in an excellent ax I had John Carruthers build me in '91. I needed the QP because the Distortion is so high output it could cancel out most single coils. I prioritize the bridge pup because it's what I use 95% of the time, so the neck pup has to keep up. Warren has the right idea in pairing a 17k bridge pup with a QP. It's called guitar wisdom.

They Didn’t release reach for the sky in 1986 they released it in 1988 he had this guitar on dancing undercover
