    Rate Warren DiMartini

    I always thought Warren was one of the better lead guitarists out of the 80s genre.

    I'd definitely rate him an 8 or 9.

        I saw Ratt in Biloxi MS in September of '85 on the "Invasion of Your Privacy" tour (Bon Jovi opened). They filmed the video for "You're In Love" at this show.

        I also saw them on the "Dancing Undercover" tour in Biloxi in February of '87. This show reigned supreme of the two. There was better sound and I think "Dancing" is their best album.

          Back then it was Jon Bon Who? And Mama's Boys opened the show, I liked them better than Jovi.

          I liked all the albums really. I like Pearcy's voice, so I didn't think his vocals on Runnin' With The Devil was too terrible. He did a verison of Rod Stewart's "Losing You" I thought was better than Rod could ever dream of doing. "Born On The Bayou" too.

          Good chit.

          "Nobody Rides For Free".

            Warren and Lynch were both Cali guitar players who play very similar....

            Warren can play....better than many...

            Probably plays better today than Ed does.....

              I always liked Ratt.

              No solos pop into my head, though.

              However, I remember Ratt`s guitar work in general being pretty intricate.

              Riffs like "Lay it down", "Wanted man", "Dance" and "Round and round" to name but a few.

              It was over by "Detonator", though.

              Never saw him with Ratt, but with Whitesnake in 1994 in Edinburgh.

              Good player, maybe a little short on charisma.

              I would give him and Robbin Crosby a 8/10 for the interweaving rhythm parts and unusual chords.

                Warren is good. But honestly, he's no Edward.
