I love how younger people make fun of the 80's music but the talent level between then and now isn't even close to the same level. no special effects, no autotune, etc. you had to be a real musician back then. BEST MUSIC EVER!
I just met Mike Tramp this past weekend in Mansfield, Texas at one of his shows for White Lion songs. It was amazing, he’s the nicest man and still so talented! ❤
Imma air guitarist but I can say VITO is one of the best guitarist whose solos, styles, dynamics and riffs are more memorable than many of his contemporaries. He deserves more honor and mentions like Randy Rhoads and Nuno Bettencourt who can turn lukewarm songs very interesting to listen.
As someone born in the younger generation, this music is the shit. Van Halen, KISS, Def Leppard, and White Lion are all just incredible to me. Vito is an amazing guitarist, Mike Tramp is a underrated singer. Great band!
HE IS ONE OF THE GREATS! THIS GROUP CAME OUT LATE IN THE 80S AND I HOPE PEOPLE WERE NOT GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF GLAM-ROCK BECAUSE GROUPS LIKE WHITE LION WERE STILL ROCKING!!
Yes absolutely ! Vito Bratta one of all time favorite guitarists and Mike Tramp good lead singer ! I love white lions songs and sound! They are one of my favorite bands yes
Man Vito Bratta. His playing is absolutely perfect. Every fucking note, every little technique he uses, it's all so deliberate and serves the song in such a way that the songs, particularly the solos, become little works of art. I think Vito is the perfect example of what you get when you have someone who can shred, but doesn't have the shredder mentality. He's not trying to be the fastest. Instead, he's using that ability to enhance the musicality of his work. It's all in service of what actually matters, and no other guitarist did that. I don't care how good you are at guitar - Vito Bratta absolutely schools everyone, because he has something more important, and while he probably isn't the fastest or most proficient guitarist of all time, his work imo has a level of genius to it similar to someone like Mozart. It goes so far beyond everyone else that he makes even the greatest guitarists look like amateurs. I seriously think his level of talent is a one off. We'll never get something like that again.
It’s like crossing Eddie Van Halen and a classical artist like Mozart agreed. He had a genius ear and was more melodic and innovative than other guitarists at that time. Vito and Mike were great at layering electric and acoustic guitar sounds together for a more pure and emotional sound.
You can definitely tell he was influenced by King Edward. Love the chord inversions they both use and the little fills and runs sprinkled throughout every song. Always busy playing something relevant to the overall composition. Guitar playing at its finest!
My sister and I hitchhiked to see White Lion in the late 80s and Vito stood outside in the snow to take 35mm photos and sign autographs for us all waiting in line. Amazing guitarist and human being. Mike Tramp showed up late in a white stretch limo.
Great band! Miss the original line up, just saw Tramp last night. Still kicks ass but miss Vito:( Saw them In '88 with AcDc, then '89 with Ozzy and again in '89 with Cinderella and Tangier. Amazing shows!
Totally totally totally love white lion Mike tramp and Vito brotta Greg de Angelo. I don't remember the basis name. Forgive me, but my Golly. They were one of the best bands of the 80s.
You're just not listening to the right stuff. Every so often (like right now), I listen to an old high school ear worm, think, "wtf was that?" and am grateful for modern music, because it's so much better.
People who lived thru the time when these music were popular will understand the memories they had. People I meet today who were never around when these bands were on TV (MTV) laugh at this music and the style. Hip hop and todays music are all they know or talk about. I can’t get them to understand the memories I had when these bands were huge.
Most underrated band from the 80s! They had an unique sound with Vito`s guitar and Mike`s vocals. I just love this band, they make me feel so good everytime
The fact that people are debating about Vito Bratta even today, makes him relevant. Truly one of the best guitarists in the 80’s that many people did not know about.
After all these years, I finally learned Vito's rythm & lead parts to this song. Amazing stuff he came up with! What a great guitar player he was! He definitely had his own thing going! His sound was kick-ass too! Hey Vito, we miss you! Thanks for the music!
if i lose my sight .. i will still listen to 80's rock. if i lose my hearing,.. 80's rock will be in my heart and mind. if iuse my last breath,.. 80's rock will forever be in my soul.... ....so happy i got to hear it, feel it, experience it,love it,...
Vito didn't really play rhythm because his rhythms are solos. The guy was a genius. Second only to EVH in combination of skills/melody/feel. Randy a distant third.
Seen them open for Cinderella in Corpus Christi TX back in 88' at the Bayfront Colliseum. It was a really good time back then, Life was good and the music was great. Wish I could do it all over again.
Listen to White Lion right now on my Laptop love Mike Tramp and Vito Bratta Rocks Riffs on solos he is a very gifted guitar player love them always ❤❤❤❤
Among the outstanding composing and melodic guitarist such as suede bernard butler, guns n roses slash, queen brian may, joe satriani , after 30 years observation from my teens to my 40’s its unbelievable what vito bratta had made on each piece of song, riff and melodic they represent his unlimited talent and level of skill.. he can sure to be fastest and complicated player such as nuno bettencourt… but fastest its not finest at all.. vito is like a messi in football, mozart in classical music, pure talent and constant excercise… could be recognized more if he were at hand of music mogul.. we bid farewell to vito .. he’s gone to soon…
I still love this music lol...45 years old with adult kids of my own, and they still walk in my garage, and just smile at me when I got my hair metal going....I'm like how can you guys not love this? They all insist they do, but not like me...
I never quit listening to this music, Ive always kept listening to it so all my kids grew up with it and they all love classic rock and play it to this day and say I've inspired them in such a big way. My Boston, Scorpions, Foreigner n alot more CDs went missing all of a sudden so i kept buying more and still went missing. Only to find out each one of my kids have them haha😄
I'm the same age as you my girlfriend's I always under 32 33 .I'm always with the younger girls but anyway they asked me about the 80s all the time they love this kind of music they love the guys that sing it to. People know about it man it was a special time the record company Sadly won't do contracts cuz they got all their artist they can control. Rock & roll metal guys 80s style these are tough guys they didn't allow themselves to be pushed around
Everyone talking about the guitarist lol. Yeah.. he's good. But the vocals? This dude could SING. One of the most underrated of the hair metal bands. These guys and Kingdom Come both.
Im 15 years old and my whole life my dad has shown me amazing music, i even play 3 instruments. I went off to my own path in music with metal and punk, but i still love it all
Man just another awesome rock jam from one of the best rock bands to come out of the 80"s. These jams never get old 👍🤘🎤🎸. I'm 48 now and still proud to be jamming to them.
This band was so underrated. Poison, whitesnake, motley crue took the spotlight but this group was just as good or better. I used to listen to them on my "walkman" and pretend i was Vito. Lol. Playing air guitar. He was a guitar god. Mike Tramp can sing pretty damn good too. Hes now playing and singing still. Think he's in Denmark or some country over there. He married a woman over there. Still putting out hits.
My old band Deathslayer opened for White Lion back in the early 80's in a small club in NJ called the Union Jack . They had Dave The Beast Spitz on bass then, it was a lotta fun. What a great club that was. Also opened for Overkill & TT- Quick there. I freak'n miss the 80's so bad.
We miss you Vito Bratta and White Lion. REUNION PLEASE!!! With the original lineup…
For sure❤ would ❤ that

Vito and Kee Marcello of Europe very underrated. Kees solo on Superstitious was brilliant.
Memories are flooding in..
Love this song. Vito is on a whole other level. His solos should be engraved in gold discs and blasted into space
Just like Eddie, Eric Johnson,Satriani!!!!!
the whole band is great sound!!
I love vito
So true..Sooo underrated.
Lmfao! Agreed man!!!
As someone born in the younger generation, this music is the shit. Van Halen, KISS, Def Leppard, and White Lion are all just incredible to me. Vito is an amazing guitarist, Mike Tramp is a underrated singer. Great band!
Damn straight ❤80's best music ever in history for me. I'm so glad I was able able to live in the best times of my life in the 80's. ❤Class of 86 ❤
Man im 19 an I love this music dad
Showed me the real music 👍💯
Vito's solos are always melodic, they compliment the vocals really, really well like it's another vocals, his solos actually sings.
80's music will always be the best music ever for me from my high school years of being a teenager ❤Mike I will tell you that I'll never let you go!❤
80's music is the best!
Damn straight 80's best music ever
Vito Freakin Bratta is the baddest of the bad. His solos and guitar licks are foundational to my life’s soundtrack. Absolute genius.
Vito is a crazy test tube creation made by the late great Tesla and he is a clone made at 5150 studios in he belongs to Atlantic records
Master of taste!!
HE IS ONE OF THE GREATS! THIS GROUP CAME OUT LATE IN THE 80S AND I HOPE PEOPLE WERE NOT GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF GLAM-ROCK BECAUSE GROUPS LIKE WHITE LION WERE STILL ROCKING!!
Stood in line 4 hours at peaches for this album.

One of my all time favourites. He took the 80s 'guitar God' idea and turned it to 11.
Great band! Miss the original line up, just saw Tramp last night. Still kicks ass but miss Vito:(

Did their guitarist and Jake E. Lee go to the same dance classes? lol they’re identical, and both badass.
Most underrated band from the 80s! They had an unique sound with Vito`s guitar and Mike`s vocals. I just love this band, they make me feel so good everytime
Most underrated band from the late 80's was Lillian Axe, they fucking rock and incredible talented musicians all 4 of them.
Maybe Tesla
@@theshawnmurphyjournal2946 Tesla was fantastic. Great band.

@Maryann P Mike Tramp is a cheesy pop singer disguised as a rock singer
People debate about him? I've only seen great things. Worst I've heard is he's a Van Halen ripoff, but he's also heavily influenced by Elton John
@Maryann P I've always considered White Lion as a hard rock version of Bryan Adams. LOL!
Just yet ANOTHER Van Halen clone.
This is very limp garbage.
Vitto is one of the best guitarist till now on...
Theres no one can be like him...
We miss you VB...

Greatest guitarist ever.!
Mike and Vito get all the credit, but Greg D'Angelo was the heart and driving force, literally, of this band. He is a monster on drums when let loose
That true. CC with love
Nothing like the Sunset Strip in LA in the 80’s and early 90’s. I miss those days.
So sad how none of this stuff would make it to radio today 🙄
It still is mood enhancing greatness!
Vito and Dimebag my playing inspiration
Vito Bratta had great phasing in solos and his rhythm playing was excellent!
Some solos are just solos, his were like mini compositions within the song, such a phenomenal talent
Vito didn't really play rhythm because his rhythms are solos. The guy was a genius. Second only to EVH in combination of skills/melody/feel. Randy a distant third.
Vil fortælle dig alt ❤️. Vil aldrig lade dig gå❤️

Man....new music Sucks! The 80's ruled!
I do agree but there are 2 bands with 80s looks and sounds one is crazy Lizz and dynasty they rock
I totally agree the 80s music was much better than the music today
Graduated high school in high school in '87. I wouldn't say today's music sucks...but I'd definitely say it isn't better!
These kids just don't get it.....🤘
Music don't exist anymore
For me White Lion is THE ONE
Vito! He elevated all their songs. Insanely talented!!!
The question after all these years still remains" Did she tell him?" 🤔🤔
The young people have no idea what they missed in those days of rock music.
And they will never know
The won’t know. That’s for sure. They have no attention span
Both my kids like the 80s music.
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's. Kids now days don't have a clue how great it was. And the greatest part no cell phones and internet.
Man Vito had such an awesome sound.
