Underrated? No one who knows anything about guitar considers him underrated. He's always been considered one of the best. Maybe the word you chose is not the correct way to describe him. Perhaps he should be more popular or get more recognition than he does, but even then he's so well thought of
I met Ratt backstage at their last concert ever in Phoenix. All cool guys, and Warren was really down to earth. Got to chat with just him for maybe 15 minutes or so, but it was a real, real, honor. Always one of my heros, up there with Lynch. Good times.
WD is such an under-rated player! He's written some great solos and riffs. Funny how all these new bands today can't even play 1 riff as memorable as some of Ratt's songs.
I think Cavazo is way more underrated. Dude is has been a beast in my head since the first time I heard battle axe from Quiet Riot when I was 3 years old. I remember it very clearly because my parents were hillbilly rich when my grandma passed and they had bought this massive Kenwood stereo system and my brother and I were just so excited about the new thing that was one thing, but in came in a bunch of boxes, that really wasn't one thing. The first thing dad put in the cassette player was this tape and It was just insane to hear music at that volume for the first time. That day and that album are what started me on a lifelong obsesssion with learning to play instruments....all of them.
I've met Carlos a few times over the years. A massive talent that is so laid back and fan accessible. The first time I met Carlos, on the "Terrified" tour, he let me ride his skate board and we tossed a Nerf football around in the club's parking lot.
Absolutely. Carlos is a Top Shelf Guitarist. I hope they can find a good replacement for Pearcy and keep this lineup. Warren & Carlos had some good stuff on Infestation.
Dobie Egan I came here to listen to Warren play, and walked away impressed with Carlos. I thought his leads were pretty tasty here, and I was a little surprised about that. Not that I ever thought he was bad… I just remember his guitar solos back in the 80s as being a little mechanical sounding as opposed to lots of feel, if that makes sense
absolutely and definitely down to earth, hung out with him after the show in KCMO in 83 at the holiday inn, He was so approachable and answered any question I put to him from the band to guitar techniques. One of the most memorable times in my life.
2:38 in--Who would have thought that Zappa AND Ratt would be referenced in the same sentence? Amazing. Even after all these years of playing guitar ( and learning Ratt songs on guitar ) I still learn something new everyday. Even from a tune over 20 years ago. LOVE Warren ( and Carlos!! ).
Invasion of Your Privacy is one of my most favorite albums of all time. I still listen to it all the time. Every song on that release is absolutely epic.
I love these two together.. But has anyone else thought it weird that Carlos replaced Randy Rhoads in QR. Warren replaced Jake E. Lee in Ratt and Jake replaced Randy Rhoads in Ozzy.. anyone else think this world is crazy?
Nope , not crazy . I watch enough sports to know that very talented people " switch teams " at times. Musicians know more about each other than the basic fan could ever realize.
I saw Ratt open for MSG back in the late 80's, also saw them play Magic Mountain with Great White. Ratt always rocked it! Oh I forgot- I had my 1983 White 50 watt Marshall modified at Guitar Trader by the same guy who did Warren's, who I saw there a couple times. He was always nice to people.
Don't ever under estimate these interviews because they are spectacular. I love these kinds of things. I know they are supposed to be mostly for guitar players (which I'm still learning.....not there) but are great for anyone. Such happy songs from Ratt and such an original sounds that there will never be another, so thank you so much for all of this. So cool ...THAT's A FACT!!! Class act!! xoxox
these two cats are insane guitarists. a lot of the 70's & 80's bands have insane guitarists. I'm not a fan of poison but there guitarist is insane as well & Billy Idols guitarist as well,the list goes on. today's guitarists are very limited when it comes to main stream guitarists.
+Sudsy Sutherland Well, I wouldn't call CC DeVille (Poison) "insane", but if you dig his playing, that's cool. Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) is an extremely talented guitarist/songwriter, agreed. As far as your thought on today's young crop of players, I vehemently disagree. The virtuosity displayed by a great many is staggering. New school hard rock and metal is saturated with some awe-inspiring instrumentalists.
I stood right in front of Carlos at a show here in Nashville at The Outer Limits ( no longer) . Dude you killed it. I was blown away and I play. I loved your volume. LOUD. I will never forget that.
Killer video. Warren and Carlos compliment each other well going back and forth on rhythm and lead. Hope to see them both back in Ratt one more time for a tour and one more album!
Lay it down is a killer riff. When I heard that as a kid, and the rest of the band kicking in, it blew me away. I remember buying the cassette and the hot chick on the cover. Bonus!! Hahaha
Man, I have always loved Warren DeMartini's lead / solo playing. I've been playing guitar as long as he has and it's never escaped my attention and acknowledgement that he has own thing going on. He's got that odd 4 note per string passage thing going on. Who does that? I mean, we all do, but in most our worlds, it's a punctuated phrasing thing that we can't ever seem get to sound worth a fuck because on playback it sounds like we either missed a note or broke a string. Warren connects it all together seamlessly with his outstanding and wide vibrato. But for it to work, you really need to actually play a wrong note and bend it into key. It's doable, but along with sense of melody no one has incorporated that into their technique / style. I mean, who here hasn't learned a Ratt song and a some juncture have to ask themselves, " What the fuck's going on here? " Anyway, love his stuff, and very glad he's made it his own. Withstanding the test of time only has only further solidified the effectiveness of that bat-shit-crazy thing's he does on guitar....
Carlos shreds on guitar. I've always loved his playing. I wish they would let him loose on guitar more. I think a lot of people don't realize how badass this dude is!
Carlos has always been such an underrated guitarist. Such a soft spoken guy was always under the radar. US festival QR was a head turner for him he smoked that show up
I saw Ratt perform this in Victoria,TX on 07/07/07 it was great..and thanks Warren for explaining in detail one of the greatest song's outta so many the band wrote...it was a pleasure to meet you and the band through mutual friends in Houston TX .
I knew this song was an instant classic first moment I heard it. Then again, I raced my car to the record store to buy the first RATT EP when I heard you think you’re tough. I knew where they were heading for the very start bravo guys.
Carlos is a personal favourite of mine. Seen him with Ratt in Calgary and got a pick he played that night. Underrated player and song writer and totally cool stage presence. Great down to earth guy. Will go see Carlos anytime he is in Alberta! Any one have tab for the parts Carlos is playing on this video?
Warren you got a great guitar player which I’m sure you know. I’ve been listening too Ratt for years. Since 84. Carlos I’ve for some reason woke up singing Bang your Head. I’ve been wearing that video out. Ah the good ol days. I was 12, 13 at the time lol now 47.
4:20.....yep. Brings back killer memories of all the great times these guys and their respective bands played a part in. Chokeu2...cheers! I hope these guys keep rockin for many many years to come.
Ratt hit it big when I was like a Jr in highschool, no doubt about it Warren is a guitar 🎸 God one of my favorite guitarist. In my mid 50's now still love Ratt and àllways will, these two together sound awesome. Peace......
im 44 , played guitar all my life, listenin to ratt since its inception and am still amazed at how much warren sounds like joe perry on steroids!!!! Ive always loved his playing. Nice and tight. Carlos shreddin to.
Demartini and Cavazo together in Ratt. Doug Aldrich(formerly, I guess it's Joel Hoekstra now) and Reb Beach together in Whitesnake. I love this trend of 80s metal bands taking a cue from Priest and stacking killer lead guitarists.
Love to see Carlos in Ratt. Does anybody know are they still together? All his stuff with QR is killer. I'd almost say it's more aggressive than bluesy than that of Warren's sound. Awesome.
I always loved that Charvel guitar design. A mistranslation of “Too fast to live, too young to die.” It should be “Trop vite pour vivre, trop jeune pour mourir.” Still has that 1793 French graffiti down-packed. Should have drawn a guillotine blade and topless Lady Liberty waving her flag (just in case you’re thinking of getting a tattoo like that).
Two of the most underrated guitarist in hard rock heavy metal in my opinion. Definitely Carlos cavazo. He is one of my favorite all-time guitarist. Whatever he does in a band that's cool as hell with me
DeMartini is a great player. He writes some tasty, catchy stuff. Not a huge fan of Cavazo's tone when he was with QR, but I respect that he had to fill Rhode's shoes. Not an easy gig.
I remember hearing this song as a kid and thinking it was just nasty af. The attitude of the guitar and bass together just gave this song such soul. A great song then and still is over 30 years later.
He's only the rhythm guitarist on one album by Ratt. The rest of his career he was the lead player for Quiet Riot. He's solid, but doesn't stand out from the rest of the pack to me. Seems like a great guy.
I love these two together.. But has anyone else thought it weird that Carlos replaced Randy Rhoads in QR. Warren replaced Jake E. Lee in Ratt and Jake replaced Randy Rhoads in Ozzy.. anyone else think this world is crazy?
They have great chemistry! I saw Ratt in Vegas back in 2009 when Carlos and Warren were on stage together. The band is definitely not the same without Warren.

Long Live the RATT!!!!!

I met him years ago with Quiet Riot. Great guy. Very friendly. Great guitarist. Glad to see him in Ratt.
i LOVE this story 🎸 thanks for sharing !
Yeah they all were except for Kevin having an ego about the size of king
Carlos Cavazo; THE most under rated guitar player and musician out of the '80's hard rock scene. Real down to earth dude too.
Absolutely. Carlos is a Top Shelf Guitarist. I hope they can find a good replacement for Pearcy and keep this lineup. Warren & Carlos had some good stuff on Infestation.

over rated you mean.
Dobie Egan so why then can't he play his parts for ratt like it's supposed to be... Overrated is more likely
Can we get a Warren Demartini and Carlos Cavaza album where they shred and Carlos sings? I'd love to hear that.
Two great guitarists, and they seem like they actually ARE friends!
Considering how much these two guys have been through, they have both aged remarkably well! Still sound great too. Good to see them still rockin.

Did you know that Warren D martini and Jake E. Lee were dorm mates in college?
well Rhandy Roads died so yea...
Actually thought Brad Gillis replaced Randy.
@@ld68 You are correct sir. But only to finish off the Blizzard tour. The man had 5 days to learn all the songs, solos, etc...
Listening to metal at a loud volume was one of my favorite pasttimes in the 80s. It was so awesome.
Way Cool Jr. was beyond cool! Thank You for amazing music, Mr. DiMartini and Mr. Cavazo!
respect !
2:39 Too funny. Warren starts over 3 times before Carlos lays off. Carlos is awesome but this part cracks me up.
I saw Ratt open for MSG back in the late 80's, also saw them play Magic Mountain with Great White. Ratt always rocked it! Oh I forgot- I had my 1983 White 50 watt Marshall modified at Guitar Trader by the same guy who did Warren's, who I saw there a couple times. He was always nice to people.
Great choice bringing Carlos to the band. Warren wrote many great riffs.
Robbins part of that song is so amazing. He really was such a huge sound to Ratt.
That particular song is under rated. It was the future of blues and richer chord wise than I realized at the time.
Met Carlos a few times. He is a great guy, really down to earth. Love his guitar sound....
Ratt and QR were a big part of my life in the early eighties. Love seeing these guys together. Rock and Roll royalty in my humble opinion.
Don't ever under estimate these interviews because they are spectacular. I love these kinds of things. I know they are supposed to be mostly for guitar players (which I'm still learning.....not there) but are great for anyone. Such happy songs from Ratt and such an original sounds that there will never be another, so thank you so much for all of this. So cool ...THAT's A FACT!!! Class act!! xoxox
Apparently you kiddies have no idea how talented Carlos Cavazo is on guitar.
Too Wild Carlos is a beast - his playing in Quiet Riot was incredible!
agreed. he's my favorite metal guitarist.
+Too Wild
Carlos is a dude and a very good player, absolutely. Anyone who trashes on either of these two cats is a dweeb.
these two cats are insane guitarists. a lot of the 70's & 80's bands have insane guitarists. I'm not a fan of poison but there guitarist is insane as well & Billy Idols guitarist as well,the list goes on. today's guitarists are very limited when it comes to main stream guitarists.

This is a pairing of two great guitarists which I wish would have happened 30 years ago...
Killer video. Warren and Carlos compliment each other well going back and forth on rhythm and lead. Hope to see them both back in Ratt one more time for a tour and one more album!
Very cool video to see these two together. Thanks to whoever set this up.
Sounds like Warren is playing through headphones at 10 and Carlos is playing a stack at 1
🤣😂👍
I agree
"The part frank showed us". Where is that in the song? Because I don't see that lick in this demo.
Warren plays with such ease....it is absolutely amazing!!!
Lay it down is a killer riff. When I heard that as a kid, and the rest of the band kicking in, it blew me away. I remember buying the cassette and the hot chick on the cover. Bonus!! Hahaha
Carlos was one of the nicest rockers I ever met back in 86’. He’s really great to his fans and has one heck of a sense of humor too. Great guy!
You guys are one of the best bands ever. I saw you in Bakersfield in 1980s with Lita Ford.
Two of my favorite guitar players players!

That was great. I love the words to Way Cool Jr. too. Love to sing Ratt songs.
According to UA-cam, everyone is Underrated.
Warren still looks so freaking young dude! OMG he was 1 of my 1st guitar inspirations and I was like 13 way back in 83! Dang!!
he was only 20 then..so crazy, he was really young when they hit...he does look great, so does carlos...he has the hair of a 16 year old
Carlos shreds on guitar. I've always loved his playing. I wish they would let him loose on guitar more. I think a lot of people don't realize how badass this dude is!
ben ben They’re seriously putting down a guy who was chosen to replace Randy Rhoads!!!! I find the comments sad and funny.
these guys have so much chemistry they should make another record.

Carlos seems like a intelligent guy.
Well, there was an interview, and a playthrough of a couple of song parts, but I didn't see any lesson.
Awesome love these guys! Thanks for posting
Two excellent guitar players. Cool Carlos. Humble and nice guy. My respect to Warren.
i love warren agility on the guitar
Cool stuff, they fits good together!
R.I.P. Robin! ☝🏻🤘🏻⚘
Every interview I see with Carlos shows him being laid back, humble but with remarkable skills
they are both amazing ...love the blues
Warren you got a great guitar player which I’m sure you know. I’ve been listening too Ratt for years. Since 84. Carlos I’ve for some reason woke up singing Bang your Head. I’ve been wearing that video out. Ah the good ol days. I was 12, 13 at the time lol now 47.

These guys still kill it decades later!

Two amazing talents
Never knew Carlos could sing so well
Both humble guys who created legendary riffs
I remember that guitar on the Invasion tour. It’s beautiful . All of your Charvels are beautiful
Saw RATT with Bon Jovi back in 1985. I was hooked! RATT had some catchy tunes. Love the guitar sound. Looks. Whole package.
Wow they compliment each other well. I would have loved to have seen Robin and Warren do this demonstration. RIP Robin.
One of the coolest riffs of all time...
I never imagined this combo, but it works reallly well. RIP Robin!
God Carlos has such great feel for the pocket..love him.
I always loved that Charvel guitar design. A mistranslation of “Too fast to live, too young to die.” It should be “Trop vite pour vivre, trop jeune pour mourir.” Still has that 1793 French graffiti down-packed. Should have drawn a guillotine blade and topless Lady Liberty waving her flag (just in case you’re thinking of getting a tattoo like that).
Wow, that takes me back.
this is a cool video. What is the beginning riff before the actual video starts. It sounds awesome.
RATT the most under rated band.
Great playing and interview with RATT!
What is the intro song????????
How do they get that heavenly sound? And at lower volumes to.
I could see those two starting there own project. Perfect match. Two awesome guitarist. Song writers.
Two of the most underrated guitarist in hard rock heavy metal in my opinion. Definitely Carlos cavazo. He is one of my favorite all-time guitarist. Whatever he does in a band that's cool as hell with me
Great playing! The Charvel is awesome.
what is the intro ? is it really a song from RATT?
DeMartini is a great player. He writes some tasty, catchy stuff.
Not a huge fan of Cavazo's tone when he was with QR, but I respect that he had to fill Rhode's shoes.
Not an easy gig.
I kinda liked his tone, especially on Metal Health. Cool solo. But you're right. Following in Randy's shadow is a tough gig.
John Galt That is a good album. Point taken John. : D
I remember hearing this song as a kid and thinking it was just nasty af. The attitude of the guitar and bass together just gave this song such soul. A great song then and still is over 30 years later.
That opening riff is sick. I think believe it's the eat me up alive song off of the infestation record. So cool.
And bye the way Carlos has a number 1 album to his credit and not many metal guitarist have one
Chris Kemp whats the name of the album youre speaking of?
hmcccpp Quiet Riot's 'Metal Health' - #1 on Billboard's Hot 200 chart and certified 6x Platinum in the US & 3x Platinum in Canada.
Metal Health
BOOM!!! A first for the heavy metal genre. Carlos was there!!!
But it was Randy Rhodes song first. How bout dem beans
amazing those two together....unreal sound...how?
i wish a warren dimartini channel would appear on my feed. wd lessons n stories.
I love this song
You guys rock!!!
I opened up for quiet riot and watched Carlos warming up at sound check the dude can seriously play yes awsome
carlos love your style...
wha's the song in the intro?
These 2 have great chemistry. Wish they'd play together again
Carlos is (in my opinion) better than most lead guitarists and he's only the rhythm guitarist. He's definitely my all time favorite
He's only the rhythm guitarist on one album by Ratt. The rest of his career he was the lead player for Quiet Riot. He's solid, but doesn't stand out from the rest of the pack to me. Seems like a great guy.
I love these two together.. But has anyone else thought it weird that Carlos replaced Randy Rhoads in QR. Warren replaced Jake E. Lee in Ratt and Jake replaced Randy Rhoads in Ozzy.. anyone else think this world is crazy?
Watching them play this put a Lil smirk on my face. Oh, and they make it look soooo damn easy.
Great guitar duo
They have great chemistry! I saw Ratt in Vegas back in 2009 when Carlos and Warren were on stage together. The band is definitely not the same without Warren.
Both are legendary players!
Glad I saw this clip as I had been wondering who the dude with the blond hair is in a couple of Ratt clips.
