Vito had the most unique and unmistakable tone of the genre.
probably my favorite while lion song.
Vito Bratta was an amazing and underrated guitar player. I remember when he was being compared to Eddie Van Halen. Very similar styles.
Very similar but Ed was more simple and Vito was more melodic, but EVH could get sounds out of a guitar that no one would ever think of, a true innovator. EVH composed his songs to be more powerful and memorable. I love both their playing, imagine a band with EVH and Vito on guitar…WOW !!!
@@berk3511 Vitto was more melodic than eddie with the tapping stuff.
@@berk3511 Vito Bratta is probably the most melodic 80's shredder
This guy is a decent guitarist, but he is completely ripping EVH off throughout this entire live performance. It's far more obvious live than it is on records. It's not even the really hard stuff that he's "borrowing."
@@licensetoshred he's playing all of EVH's riffs, and then he adds a couple of softer sounding melodies, so that is supposed to make him more melodic than EVH? He's playing like he is in a VH cover band.
Love you and Miss YOU Vito Brata..youre my inspiration
Mr. Bratta thank you sir for your brilliance and gift. You were a part of life that motivated me and filled my life with happiness.
Vito's playing is of course amazing but his sound is also blistering! Best players to ever live in that era. We got lucky y'all!
Agree. However, these players did rely heavily on 2-hand tapping. Tapping is a very easy shortcut used to achieve blistering speeds. I loved this stuff when it first came out, but today, I'm more impressed with the slower, more molodic phrasing of say David Gilmour who relies more on precision bends and finger vibrato..
Indeed - brutal tones.
@@BodhiSoftMobileApps Fits the genre. Ask EVH, RR, etc.
Vitto will always be my GOAT.
Dont forget Jake e lee
Vito feeling it that night.🔥
Vito is my new favorite guitarist I want to play just like him. He looks like he's barely trying and just having a good time on this amazing performance 🤠🤠🤠🎸
Vito got that "barely trying and just having a good time" look from Eddie Van Halen, who was doing that "look" live since the late 70's, a decade before this Bratta performance. Additionally, about 95% of the extra cool, "no effort" guitar fills he added to this live performance were lifted right out of EVH's trick bag. I "studied" EVH's playing intently since I started playing in the 80's, and I love playing EVH's music, just like Bratta obviously does. However, I'm not up onstage, with my own band playing "original" tunes, essentially saying, "Look how cool I am with all my clever guitar work!" If I we're up onstage playing these riffs, I would behave more like Dweezil Zappa does when he plays Van Halen riffs. I would talk about how great EVH and his playing was before I started playing it. Or, I would be playing in a cover/tribute band.
The barely tryin look is thinkin of my next 5 to 16 next moves on the fly on the guitar,..like Chess,..But on the guitar once you've not necessarily mastered your craft,..but for sure Mastered your tune. IMO
He was my new, favorite guitarist 36 years ago!!!!! :) It's never too late to discover and appreciate great music!
Vito Bratta is an INCREDIBLE musician
Amazing Talent
Holy Shit!!! This is when MTv was #1. Live at the Ritz?!! Helluva performance...
Vito was heavily influenced by Eddie but still had his own sound. The fact he gave up playing was always a huge disappointment to me.
Can you name me a guitarist from the glam metal genre who wasn't heavily influenced by Eddie?????
He didn't give up playing. He just quit from the entertainment industry to be there for his father who was having a 5yr long illness and after that he had an injury on his arm or wrist that made him difficult to play guitar properly like he used to but as he said b4 in an interview that he still could play classical guitar without discomfort.
@edcollins9377 probably slash. Or maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe Tom keifer
😲 What A Clean Playing & Sound Recording !! Holly (Lion) 🙏 It's More Better Then Studio Take. Lucky To Find All Those Performance Of '88
/ Feeling Like EIDDAY 💙 ♪ ♫
Vito,Chris DeGarmo,Michael wilton? love them and crapload more!!!! Child of the 80's that really misses it
Vito please come out with a new publication! We miss you brother!!!
Classic 80’s raw goodness 👌
One of my Guitar Idol's Vito
Vito is King 👑 Now !!!! And no one can take that away from him !!!!! Even though the era of the screams echoed and Rang out !! And I'm sure he isn't even 🤔 of looking back !!! Not even to claim it.. and that it self is what separates him from the rest !! God bless Vito Bratta and the great music he's given us !!
Well said
swietny koncert oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol white lion
awesome song awesome singer❤💯❤💯❤.
He was a good looking man for a singer
Saw them at the Cameo in Miami. Was front row (leaning on the stage) right under Vitto. He is a guitar master.
You mean the Slameo
i wish i couldve seen vito in his prime... anyone here have the pleasure of going to any of these great shows?
Amazing! This generation has no clue!!!
Ahh a White Lion gig...blazing fretwork from Vito, solid rhythm from Greg and James...and an out of breath Mike skipping over, cutting short, or letting the audience sing, every high note lol.
Greg D'Angelo and Vito Bratta is So Underrated!!!!! Damn. Keep on rockin you guys!!
Vito will forever be my #1
Awesome 😅
Like that song.
Like your video
Must be feel great to be so damn good, you get compared to EVH. The comparison is warranted. This guy is simply an amazing player.
The comparison of this guy to EVH is not warranted, unless you are comparing how closely this is copying EVH's live riffs. There are plenty of guitarists out there who were as good as or better than this guy who were able to be influenced by EVH without directly copying so much of EVH's note-choice and phrasing.

Great song. Thanks!
Viva Vito!!!!!!
Wah Inggris Kabeh sing komen. Aku mau komen Vito bratta keren
Nasty,,, my Love.
Vito was in great shape that night !
I'm a huge visual learner and let me tell ya, this concert has shown me how to play guitar on a vitto level and I dont think I can play any different.
Love vito! Mike makes Dave Lee Roth sound like Pavarotti! Sounded shagged out in the opening song 😂
First album came out, just as good as eddie
🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸
Can't change am
Vito Bratta. If Eddie Van Halen and Rowan Atkinson had a child
What a great band, especially Vito Bratta. The vocalist rather subpar in comparison.
Poor Greg didn't get any camera time at all.
Vertuoso, no doubt. Saw them @ the "Switch" in Raleigh, n.c. 1988, before first came out. He lifted his strat up and on the back had a bumper sticker that said "who farted"
What's up with Tramp in this one? He's one of my favorite vocalists and the studio version sounds so much better than this performance. First time hearing them live to be honest. Sounds like he's constantly out of breath here
even this early, mike can't sing this one properly. he's speaking the words, not singing them and he's going around the best parts coz obviously he won't hit the notes. so sad.
More VH than VH.
Vito is slightly out of tune and yet it still works - kind of makes his guitar sound a bit rude, in a good way. That palm-mute harmonic trill at 2:08 and that look on his face at 2:12 - dude was on fire in the day.
ボーカルが下手くそなのを除けば最高だ ヴィトは素晴らしいギタリスト
Why is all the good shait happenin in nuu yaaak?
Grover from “Sesame Street” introduced them.😆😂🤣
I remember watching this when it first aired; I was 12. I'm still blown away by Vito. Mike Tramp's performance here, leaves a lot to be desired...just awful.
Brata can’t play anymore is like when secretariat. Couldn’t run anymore
Why didn't they last.
Grunge
Vitto retired in 92 because of his father dieing and his hand injury making him unable to play guitar for longer than 5 minutes
Blood am
I love this song....but Mike Tramp make it sounds awful here. His live voice isn't compatible with his recording voice.
Cresst
I wonder if these guys look back on what they wore and how they looked with the same amount of cringe that I have right now as I watch this video?? Some really great music came out of the 80's and these guys are a part of that. On the other side of that coin, some really ridiculous "fashion" trends showed up in the 80's and these guys were definitely a part of that as well.
What do You talking about, bullshit
Vito was great, EVH clone all the way. Not that it's a bad thing, I loved Vito just an Eddie clone
I think Vito is much better and i known him only recently.
@@Windof Vito is not better than EVH. All those cool live licks he was playing were taken almost verbatim from Eddie Van Halen's live trick bag. The Floyd Rose dives, the harmonic squeals, the muted panning harmonics, the distinctly EVH tapping flourishes. This is what I would be doing if I were up on stage. I would be playing a bunch of EVH licks. He plays a little different than EVH sometimes, but not here. Most of that playing originated from the mind and fingers of Edward Van Halen.
@@jeffbrewer8887 may be that Van Hallen created the technic, that is not completely true becouse other invented many years before, but Vito created the melody, that Van Hallen don't have.
@@Windof Van Halen didn't "create" the technique of tapping. He also didn't "create" the technique of dive bombing with the tremelo bar or the use of harmonics. I don't mind if Bratta taps sometimes, or uses his bar sometimes, or uses harmonics sometimes. The problem I have is that Eddie came along in the late 70's and combined many different techniques into his own style and came up with some very memorable and iconic guitar work that is instantly recognizable by guitarists (certainly by Bratta) as Van Halen riffs. If you want to think Bratta is "more melodic" than Eddie Van Halen because he incorporated more major thirds in his playing, or some of his solos sound more "pleasing" to your ear, that's fine. Bratto's solo in "Wait" is very "melodic," and I don't think he's ripping EVH off just by tapping. However, in this video, he is blatantly ripping off a bunch of riffs Eddie used to specifically play, especially in concert. I saw him play them live plenty before Bratta was on the scene, and you can find clips on You Tube all over the place. It's fine if Bratto wants to incorporate some of the techniques Eddie popularized, and it's ok if he wants to play more "melodically" than EVH, especially in his songwriting and recording. What he shouldn't do is show up on stage and throw in an EVH impersonation without attribution. That means, if he wants to play exact EVH licks on stage, he should be informing his audience of his "homage," or he should save the licks for VH cover band gigs or tribute concerts.
Vito is/was a good player, and on White Lion's albums, he doesn't always sound like EVH, but in this live clip, he is going full "EVH clone." From the concert opening to all the little extra guitar fills, he is putting on a demonstration on how to pretend you're EVH without letting his audience know. At least he didn't bring out his "Vito Bratta Signature Series" striped guitar.
Vito is a very great musician BUT really too close to Eddie Van Halen...
Vito was great on record, but not the best performer or live player.
VITO!!!!!!!!!
