Candy bars were 45 cents, concerts were $5 maybe $10 at most. Women in Spanex mini skirts not all tattoo'd and no nose rings. New cars were less than $8000. Great concerts every weekend from talented fun bands. Such a great time for rock n roll. You didn't have 300 lb fat people in combat boots trying to crowd surf on you while you watched the show and actually sang with the band while they played. People owned the albums and knew every song.
I had this cassette. In my car at 16, volume turned up to +10, windows down, car full of friends and we'd ride. No problems. No worries. The best days of my life. Long live the 80's!!!!
So another words everybody listened to it whether they wanted to or not. 😀😀😀👍👍👍 Remember when Pyromania came out, I thought I was going to lose my mind, or Scorpions Love at First Sting.
The guy was/is awesome. More important is he did not spend his money on drugs. Instead he saved and when it was time to end, we walked away with that money. The Seattle bands changed the landscape in early 90s and Vito had the brains and money to know that his time was over. Good for him. It's a shame the lead singer tramp wasn't as fiscally responsible.
So. I had an older sister. She passed in 92' at the age of 18. This was one of her favorite songs growing up. So many memories. Her 49th birthday was on February 10th 2023. It came and went, and all I could remember was this song for some fucking reason. Since her death. I haven't thought about it since we were teens/pre teens. Yet I shared it out of the blue with my 19 y/o son today and he said "It sounds so familiar. I've never heard it before but it is so familiar ". I rarely share songs from those times with him. Yet he seeks them out. Name all the majors and he knows them. Word for word. Note for note, lyrics and all. I'm not sure where I'm going with this. All I know is he would have loved to know his aunt who died when I was younger than him just based on the music we grew up with. "Dad. I wish I grew up then to experience the music". I literally felt the same way about my parents music of the 60's and said so.
When my son was born, I would sit in an office chair, lean back and play songs from Texas Flood (SRV) to get him to sleep. When he was 10, he would go into my computer and raid my music. His friends thought he was crazy for listening to, SRV, LIGHTNING HOPKINS, RUSH, WHITE LION , NIRVANA, ZEPPELIN. He recently saw Eric Johnson in a music store in San Antonio, then went out to see him that night. He loves that music as much or more than I do. When Jeff Beck died he started learning Beck's songs on guitar. He always thanks me for the music I introduced him to.
I was born in 1970, and this always takes me back to my youth, even as we're about to enter 2025. It's a ritual I do every year, listening to '80s hard rock and metal to say goodbye to the year. So much life, so many concerts behind me... and I still get as excited as I used to!
We had it really good back then huh. Spoiled for choice. We may not be able to go back physically but in my mind these bands take right back to when I was a kid.
I don't know about best, do you know how many guitarist were in the 80's? A fuqing lot. Vito is good, but at the end of the day, white lion was a 1 hit wonder band. Not gonna say Vito wasn't good. He is good. But I guess your trying to lick knowledge, but that's OK.
@@paulieramos They were not a one hit wonder band. And ;yes, vito was one of the best guitarist during that time. you will find other guitar players of that time listing him as one of the best...on cover of guitar world twice. he was so good and respected that every guitarist that mike tramp tried to get to reform the band again refused to play vitos playing. better yet, the guy saved his money, did not spend foolishly and knew when to get out, when the party was over. meaning when the Seattle bands took over
@@thomaskemer8109 Vito was never an Eddie lone. Not even close. The way he played not even close Solo on wait is a good example. There was 1000s of guitarists trying to tap like Eddie....Vito was not one of them.
I am 34 years old and up until 2 years ago I had never heard this song in my life. Now I’ve listened to it - no exaggeration - a hundred or more times. So awesome!!
This Epic Song Reminds of a Lady I met in College. It took Me 6 Months to ask Her out. So finally on the last day of School, I finally did. We had Lunch and I gave Her one of My Photos. I was so nervous I forgot to ask her for her contact information. As I was driving Home, this dawned on Me. So, I turned around and went back to the Library on Campus where She worked. The Librarian said She was gone for the Semester, and They could not give Me Her information. It was a sad drive Home. I thought I had lost Her for good! Two weeks later as I was signing up for Summer Classes, She showed up! I told Her I was sorry I did not even know Her Last name, and I felt bad because I did not get her contact information. 30 Years later We are Happily Married! Still love this Song!!
@@cantrell0817bro, ease off EVH. Lol everyone compares. Vito was an entirely different player and unique. Nuno was a beast and better than either of them and can play better today than back in the 80s.
@@nickmenza2671I think Vito would have been there with Nuno if he had kept playing, he was better back then already. He just needed a better band to showcase himself
So there are some notes that are sightly off beat in the solo and other small mistakes, but number 1, none of us could replicate such a solo, and number 2, it was those small mistakes that made the solo sound so unique to the ear to begin with. The producer absolutely made the correct choice.
That comment by Mike was uncalled for. Why don't you jus keep your mouth shut if ya can't say something nice? It's just the dudes opinion, does that make him a 🤡? Who's the clown, stop throwing stones at folks no one needs to read that negative shit in such a fucked up world.
Windows down, volume up friends cruising...yeah these were the years for teenagers! Awesome music, friends joining together, neighbors taking care of neighbors! Better times for sure. We need to get back to this and get rid of all the social media stuff, people were happier and more social
One day when my dad was at work, he put on an 80s playlist and this music video came on. He sent me a video of this song playing because it reminded him of me 😊 long live the 80s 🤘
Bratta was the absolute master of mixing the Van Halen guitar techniques with his own unique brew of melody and attack. The results were spectacular - on the first 2 albums at least. He's to be commended for choosing family over fame, but the rest of us were truly robbed of an amazing talent in the process. Pride will always be one of the greatest albums to emerge from the 80's.
This song brings back so many memories of some of the best years of my life. I always liked White Lion and their music. When The Children Cry was another great song.
@@noelgonzalez7390 thank you so much for your reply. I wish that I could find the DeLorian too. I would only want to go back if I can keep the knowledge of things that I know now.
@Tony X I know exactly what you mean. I have lost a lot of family and friends in the past 2 decades and really wish that they were still here. I’m the matriarch of the family now and sometimes I wonder how my mom was able to do it so gracefully. I didn’t have a care in the world back then and we didn’t have to worry about a virus and things being as expensive as they are now.
Imagine Cando, North Dakota around 1989. I’m in my early 20s and somebody way up there had put this in a jukebox. I believe Lady of the Valley was the flipside. My partner in garage door repair and I would once a month spend a week tour up north from our big city of Grand Forks North Dakota. Fix farmers garage doors. One night we were in a bar in Cando, this was back when we were all friends and companions in this country of ours. No matter what party. We crank this and everybody from the big city( us) To a bunch of the farm boys from around we’re singing at the top of our lungs and having the time of our lives. Those days will never happen again. So blessed to have been alive in those days.
That 12-string intro and outro is what I love the most about it...Vito was an incredibly talented guitar player, with skills in a acoustic playing, flat picking, fingerstyle playing, as was seen in the song, "When the children cry," and can't forget about his lead electric guitar playing....too bad this band met the end it did.
This song, for some reason, entered my head while waking up this morning. I searched RUclips for the song. Wow! Took me back to a time when music was music (the 80’s). I totally love the ‘hair bands’ of the 80’s!!!
long live the 80´s! the best era in music and in my life too, young, naturally beautiful not-tattoed girls, life without troubles...wish come back that times
this has to be the greatest, hard rock ballad of all time. vito is incredible... white lion will never get old because of that insane guitar harmony and tapping...
Mike Tramp in this video, what a gift from Denmark!! The days of White Lion and that great genre of music 🎸....had to be there....Luckily I was☺ Hard to believe he recently turned 61.....Rock On Mike🎤
I had the opportunity to see Mike Tramp's White Lion in San Antonio, Texas 10/17/24. Magnificent performance. It was great seeing him play the Rhythm guitar. His vocals were on point. Marcus Nand on lead guitar was incredible. Jerry, on the bass, really held the Rhythm section. I didn't have the opportunity to meet the drummer. But he was indeed fabulous on the drums. Killer show! I'll definitely attend their next Texas tour. ❤
Cleverly constructed guitar solo(understated!).I'm sure it made EVH proud.Great song,great guitarist.Guitar tone is very violin like,beautiful.Only Vito could've played THAT solo.
I have listened to Mike Trump's and White Lion's experience in the music business . Definitely sounds like this AMAZING BAND was robbed of an even bigger career! White Lion fan base (and growing) knows their value that speaks volumes through every album and RUclips video! The White Lion pride lives and rocks on! 🤘🦁🦁🦁🦁🤘
WHITE LION, one of the most criminally underrated bands in hard rock history, wait was one of his greatest hits, thanks to rhino for make this easier to new generations and VITO BRATTA, i repeat, VITO BRATTA, only talent, a great talent, one of the most brilliant guitar players in hard rock
i like vito but vito wasn't one of the most brilliant. he's a fine player and composed some good stuff, but he's unoriginal and brought absolutely nothing new to the guitar. he's also not that good live. the true guitar gods are amazing live
@Amina Anne ypu got that right gurlfrand!!! Easier life, less stress just trying to figure out how to get to the next place with no cell phones. These kids have noooo idea how easy they have which has left them lazy n lacking:)
that's not even remotely true. there are bands today that have a lot of talent but times have changed and people need to change with the times. simple as that. top 40 radio today is not even a thing. there is no more top 40 anything. and that's ok. it is called evolution. just like rock radio in the 80's evolved from corny rock to the 80's rock here. from 86-89, these are the type of songs that were hit songs. of course these songs would not be hits today because times changed. and that's perfectly ok
I was born in 1985. I can't believe that I've never heard of White Lion. Of course my music growing up was bands like Soundgarden & AIC. The grunge scene. I never was a huge fan of 80s hair metal. The musicians in this group are very talented though.
"Wait" peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 nearly 7 months after its release thanks to a regular rotation on MTV 📺📈
@RHINO With all due respect, but you should've uploaded this music video a long time ago, let's not procrastinate!

Vito Bratta is so amazing, it is criminal how underrated Vito Bratta is as a guitar player 🎸❤️✝️🇮🇹🇺🇲
Indeed. I was thinking the same thing. He gives Mr Van Halen a run for his money no doubt.
Vito is awesome
Vito should be on the VH tribute tour not satch. No training necessary for Vito.
I agree with you, very underrated. Love his tone.
He played westone guitars. Amazing.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Listening in 2024.

Is this one of the great solos in rock history?
Absolutely
2:15 ... One of the best guitar solos (within a song) of all time begins. Vito Bratta kills it.
YES! "Lightning In A Bottle", as I like to call it. 🙌
I feel so sad for Vito. One day he will wake up and realize it's too late. :(
Definitely!!! 😊
Amazing guitar player, very underrated.

Mann. 70's and 80's had the best music back then.,. Miss those days
great tune....was 18 back in the day.... wish i could go back...
long live the 80´s! the best era in music and in my life too, young, naturally beautiful not-tattoed girls, life without troubles...wish come back that times
First CD I ever bought
*Released in 1987; coincidentally, the best year of my life!*
80s still the best decade for music.
Still one of my favorite guitar solos of all time! Vito was simply incredible!
Best decade of music forever is the 80's!!
I’m instantly 17 years old again. JFC, the nostalgia. 🖤
this has to be the greatest, hard rock ballad of all time. vito is incredible... white lion will never get old because of that insane guitar harmony and tapping...
What a great tune!!! My high school years relived!!! Long live the 80’s rock!!!
One of the most catchy 80s songs
Mike Tramp in this video, what a gift from Denmark!!
The days of White Lion and that great genre of music 🎸....had to be there....Luckily I was☺
Hard to believe he recently turned 61.....Rock On Mike🎤
That solo is one of the most beautiful and perfect song fitting solos ide ever heard...Vitto, incredible note choosing
I had the opportunity to see Mike Tramp's White Lion in San Antonio, Texas 10/17/24. Magnificent performance. It was great seeing him play the Rhythm guitar. His vocals were on point. Marcus Nand on lead guitar was incredible. Jerry, on the bass, really held the Rhythm section. I didn't have the opportunity to meet the drummer. But he was indeed fabulous on the drums. Killer show! I'll definitely attend their next Texas tour. ❤
After 35 years Pride is the best White Lion album
This solo is one of the best of all time so smooth and perfect. Flawless with emotion.
Cleverly constructed guitar solo(understated!).I'm sure it made EVH proud.Great song,great guitarist.Guitar tone is very violin like,beautiful.Only Vito could've played THAT solo.
I just paid attention to him playing it. I'm in awe.
Why the need to mention Van Halen? He wasn't the "end all." In fact, Randy Rhoads was much better.
I have listened to Mike Trump's and White Lion's experience in the music business .
Definitely sounds like this AMAZING BAND was robbed of an even bigger career!
White Lion fan base (and growing) knows their value that speaks volumes through every album and RUclips video! The White Lion pride lives and rocks on!
🤘🦁🦁🦁🦁🤘
I keep listening to this. It just gets better and better! Damn, I miss big hair bands. Nobody does anything like this today.❤
Я_ русская , я не понимаю, почему вы глэм_ рок называете резинками для волос? Объясни! ❤😊
WHITE LION, one of the most criminally underrated bands in hard rock history, wait was one of his greatest hits, thanks to rhino for make this easier to new generations and VITO BRATTA, i repeat, VITO BRATTA, only talent, a great talent, one of the most brilliant guitar players in hard rock
YES!!
i like vito but vito wasn't one of the most brilliant. he's a fine player and composed some good stuff, but he's unoriginal and brought absolutely nothing new to the guitar.
he's also not that good live. the true guitar gods are amazing live
@@RobertMJohnson Exactly. He's no Clapton or Page. As far as that style of rock, he's talented but no George Lynch or even Reb Beach
@@sdc6447 dude Reb is absolutely fantastic. i put him above Lynch
They were awful
Ah. The 80's. Please come back and save us!!!
Thanks to my mom for introducing White Lion to me when I was very young. The tape she bought in the 90's is still here in our house.
I miss the 80s so much. Those were some of the happiest and most carefree days of my life.
I agree 110%!!!
I wish I could go back at that time 80's...when music like WL, def leppard and jaged edge were very beutiful and good vibes
I was 10 -11 years old loving these guys and Winger, Tesla, Poison, Crue
That guitar solo by Vito Bratta was one take. That's amazing.
Thank god for RUclips I swear!! It the only place I’ve been coming to for years to find old videos n songs
@Amina Anne ypu got that right gurlfrand!!! Easier life, less stress just trying to figure out how to get to the next place with no cell phones. These kids have noooo idea how easy they have which has left them lazy n lacking:)
I was Rocking with this Song playing it hard on my IROC Z Camaro o yeah
You could wake up to this on top 40 radio stations back then, when popular bands had real talent.
that's not even remotely true. there are bands today that have a lot of talent but times have changed and people need to change with the times. simple as that. top 40 radio today is not even a thing. there is no more top 40 anything. and that's ok. it is called evolution. just like rock radio in the 80's evolved from corny rock to the 80's rock here. from 86-89, these are the type of songs that were hit songs. of course these songs would not be hits today because times changed. and that's perfectly ok
My first concert- White Lion & Stryper... So much fun!
vito that epic guitar solo so crisp and clean. mike tramp his voice was amazing had lot range .
Vito was on another level on this album. The guitar sound is so clean.
I was born in 1985. I can't believe that I've never heard of White Lion. Of course my music growing up was bands like Soundgarden & AIC. The grunge scene. I never was a huge fan of 80s hair metal. The musicians in this group are very talented though.
I miss the 80's. Met the love of my life in 1989.
Vito...such an underrated guitar player
