yes white lion forever!!!too bad vito bratta just left the band and never wanted to come back.love the band and the guitar solos were so damn melodic.music to the ears really.my fave is love dont come easy and till death do us part.vito is the few who can really tap and create unique riffs and solos.man really miss white lions stuff.

Ahh...nice to see White Lion fans around here
Love them to bits too! Go check out Eddie Trunk's website (http://www.eddietrunk.com) to listen to the exclusive radio interview of Vito Bratta AFTER 15 YEARS OF SILENCE!!

Hey...good attempt, tomkeifer1986...that song brings back lots of memories...

Well, here's my take on their song, Wait's solo:

[edder]

i "heard" on the internet that Vito Bratta is a software engineer now... woo hoo!

 

[ZamMaiden]

White Lion really rocks!!! :supz:

Anyway, I've only listened to 'When The Children Cry' only in my whole life.. But, would like to explore on White Lion for the time being... Any good recommendations on their songs? :smt003

 

[edder]

dude did you read the above? haiyorrrrr....

 

[Elias]

Heh...Edder, then you must listen to the Eddie Trunk's 3-hr interview with Vito! Damn funny how they talked about hearing rumours of Vito being from a property agent to pizza shop owner to making a living using computer! *lol* But sad to hear him mentioning about his injury to his hand that prevented him from playing too much guitar these days

And it's also quite sad to see the tension between Mike Tramp and him, since Mike's been 'carrying on' the White Lion legacy under the name, Mike Tramp's White Lion :roll:

ZamMaiden, you can check out youtube for songs like Wait, Little Fighter, Radar Love, You're all I need, Cry for freedom, etc... oh, and they did an instrumental song, Blue Monday, as a tribute for SRV...very nice feel and all...do check it out

eh i cant seem to find white lion on eddietrunk!where?under which section?help me!!!!

 

[edder]

White Lion IS Vito and Mike.

The signature riffs and the permanent sore throat.

There are some videos on you tube showing Vito's techniques, very interesting the way he play so effortlessly.

Hahah....damn funny but true description, edder

Anyway, tomkeifer, here's the link (http://eddietrunk.com/interviewsindex.php)...just scroll down a bit and you'll see the interviews It's a bitter-sweet interview though...cos on one hand, we finally got to hear from Vito after like...15 years...but you also hear about how/why he's not moving much musically due to practical issues like finance/labels/family matters/etc.

Oh...Do check out Mike Tramp's response to Vito's interview too... :lol:

 

[blissuicide]

Don't forget to check out Tramp's Freak of Nature. Great albeit an underrated band.
