[edit] dokken

I've heard from Juan Croucier that Warren DeMartini was a guitarist for Dokken for two weeks, filling in for George Lynch, but i don't know much about this.

[edit] nephew

Warren's nephew Sonny Demartini is a rap protige hailing from Batavia, Illinois.

[edit] roommates

"Warren was at one point the roommate of Jake E. Lee, Ozzy Osbourne's second lead guitarist during his interminable solo career".

Bias - the use of the word "interminable" makes this line somewhat derogatory.

[edit] Virtuoso?

Should Warren be considered a virtuoso guitarist? Or does he mimic someone else's guitar playing style?-Cory pratt10:22 July 24, 2006 Personaly I'm not too sure about the title virtuoso. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm unaware of any full intrumental recordings. I think he is an exceptional underated guitar player that I have many hours of listening to. I think that the time period that he was in the public eye, his talents were greatly overshadowed by other guitarists. Mick Mars was, I feel, another victim of this as well. I personaly think that his true talent lies in his rhythm playing. I've always thought this about Eddie Van Halen as well. Some guitar players just have that. They capture you with cool rhythm licks, and feed a basic solo into it. I'm certainly not putting either of them down for it, but anyone that knows anything about guitar playing can easily hear this. I would first like to hear a full instumental recording from Warren before making a decision on this subject. Hey, Here's one for all you guitar people out there. Paul Gilbert has an instrumental CD out now called "Get Out of My Yard." This is fantastic. I bought it off of Amazon. It's a five star.
