I was listening to whatever was on the radio, usually at that time, Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, but I don't remember hearing a lot of stuff like RATT then. I do remember Warrant on the bus heading to school, someone else's big sister had the tape and he borrowed it. Sounded good then just like it does now.

    2:56 The way Warren rides those bends, and the phrase ends on that pickardy 3rd with the vibrato on it, man so cool and so very vocal sounding. Really making the lead part sing in the intro to that solo... And then it opens up to some nice shredding with those runs! With the chromaticism.. He plays almost like a jazz horn player would. He's a true musicians musician, the real deal. Not just a guitar God, he's got true chops. I always think Warren was their musical backbone, without a doubt.

    Opening riff inspired by Van Halen - Unchained: their most signature heavy riff utilizing Eddie's infamous "brown sound". Warren emulated it perfectly here and made it his own in the way only he could. Him and George Lynch loved playing outside the traditional blues box and added a lot of dissonance to their chords and solos. Both 80's masters of a totally different style of rock.

    • @JIMJAMSC

      I respected DeMartini because he could have easily went down the EVH clone path but didn't. He was technical, fast but not absurd and accurate. Each note was clean, chords had space. Could be wrong but I don't think he ever tapped. Also didn't ruffle any feathers and step outside his lane and become a "rock god".

It was A LOT easier to meet bands back in the day, holy shit. No cell phones, what happened backstage, at the hotels, & on the buses stayed there. Magnificent time to be young. Things moved more slowly back then but people were more real with each other, up close and in person. You made plans & kept them. A rock show was a major event, where anything might happen. Not as commercialized & policed like today. Loved every minute.

So he listens and intently watches this same video on RUclips in front of me. He couldn’t get it & I left after 20 minutes of him trying.
      Next day he calls me up telling me exactly what you said. His respect for Ratt is now huge thanks to you. Says his hand hurt & he finally figured out the tuning. He played me that riff over the phone while yelling “woooooooo” Ric Flair style--He’s a Ratt fan now because of your comment.

      Yeah you asked for a rat song lol. Who needs a rat when ya got all that pie job. Can't back up a law book?? Guess I should go to bed now, I'm cranky and whiny and fed up too. Never helped a damn thing when I asked for it. Usually made shit worse and I'm sure it's the same thing now. Much respect but dammit I'm right and you ain't as far as I've seen first hand 👌. Still stuck in the past I guess. Seems normal to me.

    80s chicks were so much more desirable than today's lot. And I'm a 1992 guy! Marianne Gravette! 😍

    I met Bobby Blotzer at a NAMM show way back in 1989 in LA and he was very nice, approachable and genuine. Funny thing was that later in the show, I was walking around checking out the vendor booths, ran into him again and he remembered my name! After the show, many of us were invited to go bowling with the rock stars and it was INSANE!
