      Warren's piercing hot sound/Gain on his pick-ups reminds me of the sound Ace Frehley could get.

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.

    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 🔥🔥🔥 ✌🏼

    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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
