It's too bad Carlos retired from the public eyebirnie wrote:That intro solo was at the end of the Brian May Star Licks video.
One of many, there must have been about 10 previews bunched together
This was my favourite!
Watched it heaps of times, great little solo
I haven't watched the whole video yet though.....
Both Warren and Carlos are super talentedSlayer wrote:He was actually playing better than Warren DiMartini towards the end of his tenure in Ratt
I respect and actually like Carlos but I cannot agree with this statement.Slayer wrote:He was actually playing better than Warren DiMartini towards the end of his tenure in Ratt
I feel like instead of saying Carlos is better than Warren or vice versa but instead acknowledging that Carlos can't be Warren better than Warren can, and Warren can't be Carlos better than Carlos canposerboy71 wrote:I like Carlos as a person . As a player, I prefer what he was doing on that instructional video. He played thematically.
To me, he became a noodle with a guitar sound that relied on the top end. You wouldn't dare walk in front of his cabinets during a show.
I strongly believe he lost a lot of the high end from his hearing.His personality doesn't fit his playing. He is one of the most laid back guys out there.
Warren, at his best and questionable worst , has some tasty note choices . He has learned to linger on those tasty notes. Plus, he has an arsenal of cool guitars.
I swing from that man's nuts.

so basically it just depends on what time period someone is talking about?poserboy71 wrote:SonOfTheAnkh wrote:I feel like instead of saying Carlos is better than Warren or vice versa but instead acknowledging that Carlos can't be Warren better than Warren can, and Warren can't be Carlos better than Carlos canposerboy71 wrote:I like Carlos as a person .

There is not a BETTER or WORSE.
Slayer and I are simply pointing out the timeframe of when we enjoyed each individuals skills the most.
For me, Carlos sounded the best during the era of his instructional video. I believe that he lost a lot of his high-end hearing and his guitar tone suffered for it in later years. He also tried to play flashier and his THEMES suffered because of it. Sloppy and chromatic...
Warren was a tad bit flashier in his youth but hasn't lost his note choices that sting the listener into coming back for more .

It also depends upon style. Poserboy and I like much of the same music and guitar players but we also have some healthy different opinions. We like to debate these differences once in a while in a very respectful manner. I may be tone deaf so I can't address Rick's Theory on Carlos High End Hearing Loss but me what I like about Carlos recent playing is some of what Rick doesn't like. Carlos on the Infestation Tour played with more fire and aggression. For me he played faster and with more energy which I enjoyed and sounds like Rick enjoyed this less. This style that attracts me is also one of the reasons that I like Vincent Cusano's Guitar Playing so much. Vinnie could flat out play fast with ferocious intensity while still showing extremely high technique. When guys are this good it is really all about personal preference. When Rick and I have these debates sometimes we look at something from a different vantage and learn from each other. Friendly debate is good and is how we learn to improve ourselves as a species and society. If it were not for debate and sharing of opinions we might still believe that the Earth was flat? Great discussion gentlemen!

WHOA! THAT'S SO COOL YOU WORKED FOR HIM!poserboy71 wrote:SOTA, I worked for Carlos 15 years ago on a Poison tour. He was the nicest guy in the band. His sound was shrill and very loud. He wasn't playing thematically like he used to . He had a very European approach to his playing early on then gravitated to the California gunslinger approach that, I feel, doesn't suit him.
I will , however, start watching some live Ratt shows from a few years back and take heed to what Uncle Kev has pointed out.
Like Kev said, a debate is healthy . We carefully and respectfully explain our points and encourage each other to investigate.
