Warren DeMartini

Warren DeMartini (born April 10 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is the lead guitarist for Ratt, a band most popular in the mid-to-late 1980s hair metal scene. Warren was at one point the roommate of Jake E. Lee, Ozzy Osbourne's second lead guitarist during his interminable solo career. Warren was rumored to have been approached by Ratt vocalist and longtime friend Stephen Pearcy, following Lee's invitation from Ozzy Osbourne to fill the lead guitar position after the tragic and untimely death of Randy Rhoads.

One of the biggest influences on DeMartini's style was Edward Van Halen. His ambient lead guitar tone and style was influenced by the first four Van Halen albums.

Warren was also briefly a touring guitarist for Whitesnake, and has released a solo album titled Crazy Enough To Sing To You. In 2003 Warren was hired to replace guitarist Doug Aldrich in the metal band Dio but never made it past rehearsals.

Warren's hobbies include surfing and computer programming.
