In case you don't already know it, this is one of the greatest intros of 80s hair metal. Follow it up with the rest of the song, and you're in the greatest generation of music. Nice job man

Decades have gone by. Still one of my favorite metal guitar tunes...simple...crisp. :)

Riffs like these will always be infinitely more interesting than that one-dimensional, percussive E chord bouncing of most modern metal. There’s so much light and shade to the riff work throughout this whole song, and such a strong sense of melody. Ratt was one of a kind.

This is because bands/players like that actually encompassed melody into their sound. It’s something that can’t be taught.

It's great to see someone who knows how to use the volume knob

Warren was always underrated. He never got the attention he deserved.

"Ratt would ultimately become one of the top-selling and most popular metal acts of the decade, issuing four consecutive platinum albums" He played with Ozzy, Dokken, Bryan Adams, Whitesnake. He's endorsed by one of the worlds leading guitar companies. He's been on the cover of several oft the biggest Guitar Magazines several times. He was booked for several movie soundtracks. "Best guitar player" awards. Many musicians, guitar kings, are praising Demartini over and over again over the years. What you wrote here is utter rubbish. You are just one of the thousands "This guitarist is underrated" commenters that has absolutely no clue what he's talking about or what the word underrated means.

@@rilianriggs4620 Not sure. but warren and robin always had a problem with each other. Who had the lead in a song who came in to the song to late. and to me it always seemed like everyone took up for warren, as for me robin was easy to talk to. Hell i loved that guy didn't even know he was doing drugs. Until the end.

As a guy who grew up in this era and had this on vinyl, you nailed it. Warren DeMartini was one of the better lead guitarist of the day.

I clicked on this just to hear the cool opening riff, but it was so good that I listened to the whole thing. Well done!

Ratt is one of the more musically gifted hair bands of the 80s along with cinderella and Britny Fox.

That's awesome! All played perfectly and with authentic sound. The solo was really good considering how hard it is to hear from the original song. This is one of my favorite riffs of all time.

Back a year later to hear this AGAIN! So GOOD! 😉

Never see the guy’s face…if I ever meet him I won’t know to thank him for such a great cover… hopefully he never changes socks

You aced one of the greatest riffs of the 80’s! 👍 Awesome job! 👏

Wow I was impressed enough with the clean execution of the main riff -- that solo is fire! It looks as tricky as it always sounded.

이곡의 수많은 커버 버전중에 가장 좋아하는 영상입니다~~

awesome seeing youger genertions sitting in there room on the floor making exact replicas of stuff we could never come close to sounding like and having the talent to pull that off !!!...HAts off to you !!!!

That was so ridiculously accurate to the original that I wasn't even hundred percent sure it was legit for quite a while. Jesus, Warren couldn't play it like that today. Granted, he was probably choose that, but if asked to play it dead-on, he couldn't.

God that guitar is beautiful. So simple, so sleek

Being a professional acoustic drummer for many moons I always admire a guitar player using the pinky finger. Excellent job! Very good tone and ear.

To start, excellent song & guitar (Even though I am and always will be a Ibanez RG 570/550 collector/player) but Ratt had it together in these days with Robbin Crosby’s rhythm and Warren Demartini’s leads were ALWAYS the best 🔥 & they were my favorite guitarist duo of any band during this time with Def Leppard’s Steve Clark and Phil Collen in a close 2nd place!#🎸🤘🏻🔥#(Justoneplayer’sOpinion)#IbanezRG❤#Ratt#🐀#the80’s#”TheBestofTimes!”

This is nuts!! The tone and everything is so spot on! I was a teen during the hair metal days. Ratt is my favorite. Well done sir!

Damn fine work! I'm in the process of re-learning the song on guitar after having played exclusively bass for the last few years. Such a great song. I miss the 80's.

Bad ass! Great tone dude. I grew up in that era and can really appreciate this. Also been playing guitar for about 30 years. Great job!

Dear god that Finger stretch! Epic man!
