DeMartini replaced [[Jake E. Lee]], who would be hired by [[Ozzy Osbourne]] in December 1982. When DeMartini was called up from San Diego to join RATT in Los Angeles, he lived with Lee to learn the songs on the band's first album, and each greatly influenced the other's styles.{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}}

DeMartini's lead guitar became one of Ratt's most recognizable aspects, and he would co-write several of the band's best known songs, including "[[Round and Round (Ratt song)|Round and Round]]", "[[Lay It Down (Ratt song)|Lay It Down]]", "[[Dance (Ratt song)|Dance]]", and "[[Way Cool Jr.]]". Ratt would ultimately become one of the top-selling and most popular [[heavy metal music|metal]] acts of the decade, issuing four consecutive platinum albums and one EP in the 1980s before disbanding in February 1992.
