- No wounder that riff is one of 80s finest. But those DeMartini stretches are a bitch!...made it through alive though.
I know, I know...it's supposed to be in drop D tuning. But standard E does the job when you don't want to fuck around with your Floyd.
Thanks for watching! 🤘
I have great appreciation for all you young players keeping the 80's alive. Keep shredding my friend... 🤘😎🎸
...and I appreciate people like you who understand what it takes and care about keeping the flame alive! Big thanks! 🙏
@@xavierl.sanacore6188 Don't ever stop, this is the music of my youth and brings back so many good memories. It was considered 'disposable' pop-metal by many but they didn't realise how technically accomplished it was. I was 16 when this was released, my 16 year old son is learning to paly this now and many other songs of the same era/genre.🎸
@@LPHUK I don't plan to stop, ever.
It has certainly aged well considering the hate it has gotten in their days!
Nice to hear that your son is playing the guitar and trying this song, tell him to rock it hard! 💪
Check out the band Air raid, by far the best band bringing the whole 80s metal sound back
damn I enjoyed that! wish I could find a guitar player like you because people love a GOOD cover band
We Absolutely Had The Best Metal In The 80’s
Absolutely! The 80s will never die! 🤘
Agreed! The concerts were so big and the energy was wild. Maiden, Priest, Ozzy, Ratt, Dio, Scorpions, Van Halen….so much awesomeness.
…and the worst…
@@DdDd-js5gt Kind of true...haha
Hell yes we did. Those were the best
If possible, I would like to go back to those glorious times.
Never lived them but I'm sure it was!! 💪😎
I saw them headline in 1985. Bon Jovi on the Run Away album was the 2nd act. The opener was Y&T. That was a great show.
Damn u ain’t kiddin!
Never got to see Ratt, much to my everlasting chagrin. I saw virtually everyone in the 80s… concerts were what we did. But I missed a few. On the flip-side, I saw a few most people of the time would kill to have seen, so I’m okay.
@@rbowman368 Saw them in '86, Twisted Sister opened... those were the days!!!!!
Dude is bad ass period! Enjoyed it! I'm 63 and this music was during my 20's.
Hey, thank you mister. I appreciate it! You had great music! 👍
I'm a Gen X'er who grew up on Ratt music --- thanx for keeping this great music alive with the new generations! 🤘♥🎸
Good for you bro! 💪
I'm glad to keep that style alive! 🤘🔥
@@xavierl.sanacore6188 always keep the spirit of DeMartini in your veins! 🎸
80s metal.... there will never be any music better.
I must agree! 🤘
80s 🎉 i was in HS when this song came out... Yes the 80s were llovely!
Camaros Firebird's
No fentanyl crisis
No one dying
No gang violence
Just sunny skies good friends
MTV cable just came out
No cell phones or Internet so we had to go to meet friends outdoors or at the mall hs football games parties etc
If u wanted to meet a girl u had to get her # and call hoping she was home..😁
Big hair girls in jordache and glori Vanderbilt jeans were my fav lol
Summertime heavy metal music crusiin smokin a bowl with beautiful 80s girls at age 16-17 😎👍
The 80s were lovely 24 7
As an ‘85 HS Grad I can 100% vouch these events 😎.
Also an '85 grad. Had memorable times in the whole 80's decade. Then came the 90's. Ugh!!! Grunge music. Some of it was good, most of it sucked!@@kevn99
Class of 1986 here and you just nailed. God bless
Just relived my whole HS days reading this comment.... \m/
I still love the 80's metal, rock, and Top 40. Some of the BEST music ever. It even blows today's music away.
Yep, for sure! It will always be great!
@@xavierl.sanacore6188 The thing about the 80's rock is that they played without the autotunes and backingtracks in concert. (Except for studio) The technology was limited yet they were tuned and actually had talent. A lot of the musicians couldn't even read music or write tablature. They just tuned and played by ear.
The best band of the 80's hands down!! IMO!!
何度聞いても本当にかっこいいリフとソロ。
ロック史上最高のひとつと
思う。
I agree! 👍
Robin Crosby would approve! I want that guitar.
One of the best guitar riffs ever
Awesome cover. Brings me back to the MTV days. The first cassette I ever owned was Ratt's Out of the Cellar (their first album). I won it at a local carnival. Played that tape front to back so many times...
Thanks man!
Yeah, that's some great memories! Out of the Cellar is so great!
fabulous!
Out of the Cellar was one of the best albums ever. I wore that thing out man
80's music rules even today, *40 phkng years later.*
Best album cover ever!
I saw them play live in the 80's with Poison. Ratt and Poison. Rat Poison. Marketing geniuses those concert promoters were back in the day.
Awesome man! Yeah you're right. It was some marketing virtuosos also haha. Rock was an institution back then.
Awesome tone and one of the best covers of Lay It down. Good work brother!
Thanks bro! I'm glad you like it! 👍
This guy is on point with this song and it sounds amazing! I have listened to this song so many times through the years and heard it played live more than once by Ratt back in the 80's. Hands down one of my favorite songs from that era.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! 👍
way awesome, take me back to high school. Demartini and Jake E Lee clearly brought in another revolutionary sound to music after EVH and Hendrix.
Thanks man! Amazing period of music...you're lucky! 👍
I saw Ratt live twice. First was the Dancing Undercover tour. Second was Reach for the Sky tour. Was my favorite band of the 80's.
I was lucky to see them prior to blast off at The Country Club in Reseda, California!
The Ratt Poison concert was outstanding
Great job playing your guitar . You just brought me back to my high school days. Class of 1986 !
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
カッコいい。若い頃を思い出す。
Love Ratts guitar riffs good job on this tune,
Hey thanks! 👍
Yeah, they got some of the best riffs!
One of the top 20 all time riffs.
For sure! 🤘🔥
Easily.
Damn dude,,, i bow down 🙏
haha thanks my man!
Best music ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤Love rock n rock any kind for ever 🤘
One of my favorite bands of all times back in the eighties They didn't get the recognition that they truly deserved.
But one of my favorite 🐀 songs ever, AWESOME JOB BROTHER! 🤘💯
Thank you man! 👍
Yeah, they were one of the 80s greatest for sure! One of my fav also! 🤘
Sure they got the recognition!. They headlined in a few tours and Japanese fans went crazy for Ratt. I saw them live 3 times and they were killer every time.
@@yabo2424 Yeah, they sure had their time!...I'm sure they were killer! Good on you! 🤘
I saw them along with Great White in Albany Ga. Back in the 90”s what a concert.😊😊😊
@@RCL1 I'm sure it was!! 🤘
Excellent cover🔥 Lay It Down is one of my favorite Ratt song🤘
And that cool crackle Jackson guitar! 80's style guitars are the best!
Yeah man! Love those guitars too! Thanks for the feedback 👍
RATT and ROLL!!!
🐀🎸🤘
One of the best tones in guitar, other than Dime! I always liked “lack of communication” from these guys, great guitar intro/riff.
Agree! They had crazy tones! Very sharp 🔥
My all time fave intro riff to a song, and my favorite band of all bands.
Yeah, such a badass intro/riff!! You have great taste my man!
Those stretches are finger breaking. Nicely done.
They are!! Thanks! 💪
Big block 70 chevelle with this song coming outa the speakers on a hot summer night priceless 🤘🏻
I'm sure! 😎
Smokin...good job.❤
Hey, thank you! 👍

Definitely a challenge on those DeMartini stretches phenomenal guitarist. You have good taste like the relaxed style.
Yeah those stretches...man. But thanks dude! 👍
Nailed it brother, outstanding solo
Thanks bro! 🤘
Just casually doing the pinky stretch on THE riff, like it's nothing... fantastic!
haha thanks! I could feel it however!
Well ya can’t tell watching. It looks incredibly natural! 🔥
@@jimlaurita1487 Thanks bro!
My pleasure man!! 🎸
Great solo
Very nice cover, your playing is amazing and super smooth, making it look so easy!
That song never fails to take my mind back to the video MTV played 1,000 times - it never got old to me.
Thanks man! I truly appreciate it! 🙏
It never gets old and has this nostalgia aura to it for sure.
Wow. I was in Jr High when this song came out. WDM will always be one of my all time favorite guitar players. “Closer to My Heart” is one of the best power ballads, too.
Nice!! yeah!! ''Closer to my heart'' is a favourite of mine too. Great song!
GenX'r swinging by to show my appreciation! EPIC job, Xavier!
Thanks dude! I appreciate your support! 🤘
@@xavierl.sanacore6188 Could use some Savatage next! 🤘🤘🤘
well done. sounded great.
Thanks man. Glad you liked it! 🤘
Always loved that song. Loved the vibrato on the solo. I play it in a drop D tuning..😊
Thanks man! 👍
I loved this song in high school in the 80s chords rock hard on this one. I wonder if I can reach that far it looks far.
Yeah those are very original chords. But it's a stretch, like 5 frets between your index and pinky! Should be easier on a short scale guitar.
Smoooooooooth brotha! You hit volume swell like a champ. Gave me goose bumps
Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it! 💪
Great job man! You have the tone down too awesome! 🤟🏼used to jam on this in the band back in the day
Thank you my man! 🤘
one of my fav Ratt songs! Thye were sooooo good live!
Yeah one their best!! I'm sure they were! 👍
@@xavierl.sanacore6188 ive seen them in stadium tours as well as in small clubs - great everytime!
Amazing
Great job!! This is one of Ratt’s best songs because it has a great riff. Through most of it, you made it look very easy.
Thanks! 🤘
It's one of their best for sure! That main riff (that stretch!) and solo are the hardest part. The rest is a question of attitude and groove.
@@xavierl.sanacore6188 are you currently in a band and performing in any shows?
@@smileyslick1534 Nope, not for now.
RATT & ROLL FOREVER
Immenso de Martini
Great attention to detail, that is a great skill to have. Youi nailed it! Warren would be proud!
Thanks bro! I really appreciate it! 🙏
That's awesome brother ! Best I've seen 🤘
Thanks dude! 🙏
I agree... that was freaking amazing. Best I've seen too... you look so natural up there. Subscribed!
