awesome, can't wait for the new one, he's probably the best pure rock guitarist LIVE I've ever seen, he's the David Gilmour of hair metal

[Chief_CrazyTalk]

Warren is the man! Thanks.

[Marc Snow]

One of my main influences!

[JBall008]

Awesome! Can't wait for the new one!

That was sick man, Warren is one of my favorite players of all time.

[MartinBarre]

That was really cool, first time I ever listened to anything by Ratt.

(put on flame suit) I am not overly impressed at the solo from the standpoint of melody in comparison to his old stuff. now I think Lynch suffers from this as well. where is that old creativity? its all just a shitload of notes showing off a bunch of technique jammed into 30 seconds nowadays. all these great old players are capable of SO much better IMO. I really think they need to focus more on the SONG. the solo should have a melody of its own.

Meh, I thought the solo was cool. And the H-S Charvie was even cooler.

Gotta agree with you here, man. I'm far from impressed with this solo of his. I like Warrens playing on a few of the Ratt albums, but a lot of those 80's guys really lost their chops.

[tonemonster]

yea, its like they all lost their creativity somehow. the stuff they churn out now is just a bunch of notes flying around in a blender. no soul, no flow, no melody. just a buncha shit crammed into 12 bars and punch the time clock and call it good.

I dont get it. where did their creativity go??

I agree aswell. Their is something missing here that the older stuff had IMO, but there is an age difference, back then they were on top of the world so to speak and alot of the older players are sober now. Not sure what if any of this would matter but since I've been sober (10 year) I play differently, I don't even care to play leads anymore unless I really have to. Is it a change in mindset for them? I know it is for me. I'm glad to see them doing something though, that's cool as hell. Who's to say that's a final take too.

fuck melody, Warren plays with attitude and that's what rock music needs.
bunch of licks throw together... cool.. sounds like what Warren did even during his prime.. like the awesome main solo in "Hard Time"
also gotta love the comment about losing chops considering even this day Warren is one of the cleanest players live

[roodyrocker]

Warren is a kickass guitarist. Endrik is right, he has attitude in his playing. He has no attitude at all the two times I've met him. Very down to earth and a credit to Charvel for having him. Warren is also one of those guys who I have a hard time faking his stuff when I play it. I just can't sound Warren'ish without basically copying him.

[Hellbat]

While not exactly fretboard pyrotechnics, I thought he played a nice melodic solo there. You know the kind that 40,000 Brazilian kids would sing note for note when he plays it live in front of them. His intonation on the bends was flawless and his vibrato is great.

Warren has never been a sweep player or even that technical. When I think of him I think of awesome legato runs, slow bends, and killer vibrato. If you want crazy tapping and sweeps you are watching the wrong video.
