Walter Giardino (born March 6, 1960) is an Argentine guitarist, composer and leader of the heavy metal and hard rock band Rata Blanca. He is very influenced by Ritchie Blackmore
In 1986, after his departure from V8, Giardino founded Rata Blanca with Gustavo Rowek (drums), Rodolfo Cava (vocals) and Yulie Ruth (bass), under this line-up the band recorded a demo in England. After two years of rehearsals the band debuted at Teatro Luz y Fuerza in Buenos Aires. For this event the band recruited Sergio Berdichevsky (rhythm guitar), Saul Blanch (vocals) and a new bassist called Guillermo Sanchez. This line-up eventually recorded the band's self-titled debut album. In 1990 the band recorded Magos, Espadas y Rosas with Adrian Barilari on the vocals and Hugo Bistolfi as an official member in the keyboard duties. This era was the band's most successful. In 1992 they released Guerrero del Arco Iris and in 1993 the EP El Libro Oculto. After this Walter Giardino wished to move the band's sound into a heavier sound, opinion not shared with both Barilari and Bistolfi, who decided to leave Rata Blanca. They were in turn replaced by Mario Ian (vocals) and Javier Retamozo (keyboards). This formation recorded in 1994 Entre el cielo y el infierno an album marked with a heavy sound more in the style of bands like Accept and Judas Priest. Ian leaves in 1996 after musical differences with the band, and Giardino started searching for a new vocalist with same register of Barilari. Finally he recruited Gabriel Marian. VII was the next album, that didn't receive much acceptance from the fans. In 1998 Giardino disbanded Rata Blanca Giardino started a new project named Walter Giardino Temple which only recorded one album (1998) The band included Norberto Rodriguez (vocals) Ruben Trombini (bass), Pablo Catania (keyboards) and Martin Carrizo (drums) later replaced by Fernando Scarcella. The band break-up after play with Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) when Walter Giardino wanted to play alone allegedly because the band doesn't know how to play the song 'Burn'. After this event the members of the band except Scarcella create his own band, ironically named Quemar (Spanish translation of "burn"). Temple was on a hiatus and Giardino collaborate with Spain metal band Mago de Oz and then return to Argentina. Giardino invites Adrian Barilari and Hugo Bistolfi to act for some nights with Temple, the bassist Daniel Leonetti leaves the band and his place was taken by Guillermo Sanchez (another Rata Blanca member) and this was the beginning of the return of Rata Blanca.
Temple officially had four of the six members of the most successful line-up of Rata Blanca. Giardino decided that this was the return of Rata Blanca. Giardino asked Gustavo Rowek and Sergio Berdichevsky to return to Rata Blanca, but they decided to remain with their own band Nativo. Fernando Scarcella stayed as the drummer of Rata Blanca, and Giardino became the only guitarist of the group. Since it's return, the band has recorded three studio albums. In 2002 Rata Blanca recorded the return album El Camino de Fuego which has an English version named "Highway on Fire" (which has three themes). In 2003, Glenn Hughes was Rata Blanca guest musician in one concert. In 2005 Rata Blanca released La Llave de la Puerta Secreta and in 2008 El Reino Olvidado which in the English version with features Doogie White (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen) on vocals.

  • Por que walter quiere ser malmsteen?? no lo entiendo

  • @MrPedrogranados Walter tiene por Influencia a Ritchie Blackmore,esta mucho mas cerca de el que de Mamlsteen,eso se refleja en sus composiciones como,Haz tu jugada-splotight kid-Mujer Amante-que tambien se parece a un tema de compuesto por Blackmore,el sonido de RATA es el reflejo de Rainbow y Deep purple.

  • Why does it sound like that Walter constantly playing out of tune? Very sloppy and bad tone, horrible bending and vibrato.

  • Giardino - 5  Malmsteen - 10

  • La verdd es que Yngwie fue, es y sera siempre EL MEJOR, digan lo que digan su tecnica es perfecta, es muy muy rapido, y totalmente limpio cosa que pocos igualan, algunos presumen MAS velocidad pero nada de limpieza, Yngwie posee ambas, No tiene comparacion, tiene su genero propio el metal neoclasico, Y buen punto no poner el nombre de giardino y no por malo, al contrario es bastante bueno tambien pero no le llega y por la misma carrera de giardino no creo que pasando el tiempo lo alcanze jamas

  • Fuck off!!!!!Malmsteen the KING!!!NEM GYANUS BUNKÓ HOGY EZ A KIRÁLY /KING!/LARS JOHAN YNGVE LANNERBACK!

  • =)

  • @Ruben7090 Disculpa pero no estoy de acuerdo contigo, walter a parte de "utilizar" Riffs de Blackmore tambien ha "utilizado" Riffs y partes de los solos de Malmsteen ahora bien la ropa la cadena en la muñeca izquierda las tres cadenas en el cuello y la guitarra que es una Fender Stratocaster "YNGWIE MALMSTEEN" ya es mucho como para que sigan diciendo que no idolatra a Malmsteen, aparte la estructura de sus canciones esta mas cercana a Malmsteen que a Blackmore. Esa es mi oponion

  • pero Walter ya tiene una edad!! ya tiene una carrera perfecta, que le cuesta pensar en sacar un estilo propio, lejos de tanta influencia tan marcada??..en fin...me gusta Walter, me gusta mucho, pero mas me gustaría que fuera el mismo.

  • Y perdón otra cosa, cierto es que aunque tenga algunas cosas muy al estilo Malmsteen en las composiciones esta mas cerca de Blackmore, lo dicho un saludo a todos.

  • Con todos mis respetos hacia Walter prefiero a Malmsteen, Walter es un gran guitarrista y eso es indiscutible, ademas e tenido la suerte de poder verlo en directo aquí en España, al igual que e podido ver a Richie que es unico, pero lo dicho aunque prefiera a otros guitarristas Walter es muy bueno eso no se puede poner en duda, un saludo.

  • @MIGUMETANIAC madre mía pobrecito esta criatura apenas sabe escribir, apenas sabe hablar, apenas sabe pensar, apenas sabe de nada. Que puedes aportar al mundo que no sea ignorancia e impotencia mental?? quizás lavando platos serias al menos algo util, claro que tendrías que estudiar algo de lenguaje para saber que significa "plato"..encefalograma plano amigo mio. Hazlo mirar tu cerebro por un medico, o quizás la única salida para tu problema sea la eutanasia.
