What a criminally underrated guitar player Vito Bratta is. Had he stayed in the game and gotten more recognition he would have been as big as Van Halen or Via. His techniques and unique solos are unmatched by most past and present guitar players.
@@ernieneverscardinals461 I have a hard time believing he didn’t want out. Several of his interviews from the early 90s alluded to the fact that he was burnt out and fed up with the music scene. There was a certain innocence about him and I think once he saw the industry for what it was he didn’t want to be a part of it. His father‘s illness and his supposed hand injury are valid reasons no doubt, but outside of him saying he had an injury I haven’t seen any other proof. Not to mention he had plenty of opportunity before all that to make something happen and didn’t. Tramp and plenty of others have practically begged him to do a reunion over the past 30 years and the only person preventing that from happening is Vito.
Vito Bratta....jesus. We need to hear more from you.Your playing is the most underrated in history. You stand right beside Eddie, Jimi, Randy, etc.....
The year this album came out I wore out the cassette in my walkman. I took it everywhere. Burned through enough batteries to power a Tesla for 1000 mile trip! Such a great album. And this time is my favorite.
Yes, Vito is a great guitarplayer. But can we also notice that Mike Tramp was one of the best Hair Metal Singer amongst Jon Bon Jovi and Sebastian Bach back in the days?! In the 80's he had the perfect voice for this Kind of Style 🤘
This one sounds powerful and fresh , yesterday like today . I' ve always loved the music of White Lion and i still love It . This i feel , this Is FOREVER .
Vito hasn’t played since the early to mid 90s. And in his last interview (which he rarely gives) he stated it won’t be happening. Due to family issues and a wrist injury, amongst other things. Mike tramp has attempted to get white lion back together with the likes of Warren DeMartini,etc but no one wanted to do ( or could do Vito). Out of all the bands of the 80s that have capitalized on reunion tours this one would be epic if it ever happened..
This song brings back so much memories. Such a super under-rated song, and so much better during live, amazing! Just glad I am part of the crowd that loves their songs. White Lion rocks 2022! 😄
So damn good ! Vito Bratta is easily in the top 5 guitar players of that era. In a time when hair bands were a dime a dozen White Lion stands out to this day as one of the best imo They may not have survived in the business as long as some of their peers with no farewell tours or reunion tours but you can’t have a discussion about the genre and not mention them.
greatest band ever. compare to other bands, whitelion should have been given much recognition. veto bratta, well in my opinion number one guitar player in the world
James Lomenzo bass line and sound at 4:35 are phenomenal. This song is amazing and stood out in time. The lyrics, the melody, the solos, the bass, the drums… Greg and James don’t get enough credit in general 😢
Vitto had the most melodic and tasteful solos I've ever heard. Just jaw dropping beautiful, and technically tight as hell. What a genius. Such an understanding of peicing together melodies and notes that melt together gorgeously...what an artist. Surprisingly, alot of geniuses sometime shy away from the spotlight...he deserves this recognition. The solo of "wait" is pure genius... The lady of the valley is phenomenal. Little fighter is awesome too. But I've never heard a more beautiful song than "When the children cry." Great list, thank you.
😲 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 💙 ♪ ♫
I saw them once , Nov 1989 with Skid Row and Motley Crue Birmingham NEC UK. It was brilliant. I was a massive Vito fan wrote his name on my school bag with Randy Rhoads ;)
what a great tune. I just started listening to the first 3 albums of WL this week and this is one of my fav tunes from the 2nd album Pride. The 2 guitar solos are awesome...\m/...
I have unfortunately never seen White Lion live. Live material is very rare. Here I have a playlist with live and rare: th-cam.com/play/PLNg7Nv9z6cdRg07Ifi5X3u0Lw8Jy5AtTB.html
White Lion along with bands like Great White,Ratt,Cinderella,Blue Murder and Dokken were lumped into the stupid hair band category. They were so damn good!
Very,very,very nice..,gud per4manz!all are working hard to stisfy d viewers...,great,nice voice of d singer and super pr4manz wid their guitarist together wid d rest of d band...,nice..
You can really tell Vito was influenced by Van Halen in this tune. This is NO way a detraction from Vito ( and yes I like Van Halen ) BUT from my perspective Vito is a player ALL his own...and as a player myself , I honestly think Vito has more melodic feel and his array of tools and sounds are a teensie superior to Edward's. Had White Lion had more years to play , I think Vito's name would be right up there with the top 1% of melodic rock players ever.
Lady of the Valley is the best White Lion song for me.
Great job recording this set too! Nothing was lost quality-wise!
My favorite song.
Without a doubt. Lady of the Valley, When the Children Cry, El Salvador and All Burn in Hell are my top 4 and in that order
36 years later this is still Awesome!!!White Lion Is One Of The Most Underrated Bands From The 1980’s.Killer Musicianship 🎸
I totally agree . I still listen them music . Big Love from Me to All the White Lion guys . ❤
Hell yes!
This guitarist is really unbelievable.
He is a psycho in a positive way
the bassist got some cool basslines too that serves the song as well
@@espressooverture1236 The band was amazing. I have a lot of memories in Toronto that summer I got into Pride. Never stopped listening to that album.
even still can't get over how much he reminds me of Eddie & always has
@@ShastaBean RIP EVH

If his wrist& hands didn't get fucked up he be better than eddie van Halen!! He didn't want out of the game !!!

He is not underrated at all! But it’s pretty sad that he just left like that and never coming back.
Vito better than all guitarist!fuck van Halen
@@amac8237 Vito making a come back: 1:27 6:09
They are legends. I still listen to them, today, here in 2021
Great,24/1/2022.7:40 am,🇮🇹
As do i, even as a 17 year old in 2022

Yes still 2022 and it's awesome
How can this epic performance not be seen by more?!
I agree!!
AGREE
Yes I agree I was pissed Vito was doing some cool stuff on guitar and I want to see 😫
@@mill89027 Unfortuantely, the camera persons usually don't know the songs.
Because that's not how life works? You think Brittney Spears and Rihanna are talented?
The greatest song I have ever heard in my 62yrs. on this planet !!!
Maybe my Top 5 or something for me, but definitely an ass kicker!

Because of where Mike is from, his accent makes his vocals unique. One of the best of his era.
And he beat them all live, hands down
Seb Bach is outstanding...Mike is good, but not that good, sorry..
Too bad the only song he performed great was radar love. And that's golden earing lol
And Michael Sweet!..♥️🙏🇺🇸
Best song on a great album. After 35 years, I think I finally understand it.
Vito was amazing. Wish to see more of him play. One of the best up there, technically and melodically!
This one sounds powerful and fresh , yesterday like today . I' ve always loved the music of White Lion and i still love It . This i feel , this Is FOREVER .
Me too... might not happened with Vito but it's not the end of the world

@@amac8237 yup
I like vito bratta gitaris smart
Can we get some love for the bass player?!?!?! He's using that 5 string like a weapon!!!
James Lomenzo.....who is currently the bassist for Megadeth
James lomenzo is a beast on bass
and great backing vocals as well
Vito always a good solo is a solo you could sing, his melody and phrasing were top notch, I miss him
Great talent of White Lion, such a underrated band
Love this band! And Lady of the valley is one of my favs songs ever
This song brings back so much memories. Such a super under-rated song, and so much better during live, amazing! Just glad I am part of the crowd that loves their songs. White Lion rocks 2022! 😄
So blessed that I lived in this era 🙏🤘
This was a amazing song and performance
2022 and I still adore Vito & the Band - What a hell of good stuff.
Still listening in 2022. When the children cry is epic as well.. 🎸🤘🏼
Was fortunate enough to see them live back in the day, was a good show
Still listening on 2024
Great live version. And Vito was epic.
This song and this performance was epic! One of my favorites.
Vito is probably my fav 80's guitar player but i have to say Mike is spot on vocally- no bad notes!
Im still loving that band since I was little child in 1990s today.. Im 40 years old 2022
their best song; this wasn't glam, this was power-metal
Absolute true, i hear normally DARK METAL, but this song is so powerfull and amazing!
So damn good ! Vito Bratta is easily in the top 5 guitar players of that era.
In a time when hair bands were a dime a dozen White Lion stands out to this day as one of the best imo

I like vito is king gitaris player
White Lion is not hair metal
@@dpurplefox white lion is hair metal
This version is on their greatest hits if anybody wants to grab it!
Great album !! Still listen to it to this day Hope it gets the credit it really deserves someday!!!
The most underrated voice in music and the one thing all cream of the crop guitar players have is, the sound better live.
Yeah...Wish he wouldn'thave dressed like a clown,.Worst fashion of the 80's~MIKE TRAMP
swietny koncert oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol white lion
These guys sound fricken awesome live
This needs to be promoted!!!
greatest band ever. compare to other bands, whitelion should have been given much recognition. veto bratta, well in my opinion number one guitar player in the world

One of the best live performances ever and I love the part beginning in minutes 6 all the way to the end there's some gold 🪙🥇 in there
Cool to finally see video to this recording. Great song

Ok, the singing spot on! Nice! The guitarist kicks ass!!!
Vito is amazing guitarist and songwriter, very similar to EVH in that he has a unique, instantly recognizable musical voice.
Still listening in 2022 and enjoying the fuck out of this !!
Amazing vocal and guitar performances
No rythm guitar and keyboard but the sounds seems complete and lively.Nice performance.

Happy Birthday Vito Bratta guitar hero from Malaysia

All 4 members are sensational musicians!!

OLD BUT GOLD
What a great band! Besides Vito the rest especially that drummer, were awesome.
Greg is a awesome Drummer. Never got the recognition like others unfortunately.
@@dcartellone2659 I agree, he was awesome! Unfortunately the singer sopped most of it up.
Круто, как много отличных групп.
I'm just glad I was able to see them live opening for Aerosmith
Me, too. In Atlanta in 1988. Then in Atlanta again with Tangier, Warrant and Cinderella in 1989.
With AC/DC here august of 1988 in greensboro nc
Power ballads were never my cup of tea back in the 80's....and White Lion seemed to specialize in that genre. But....they did have a great guitarist.

he was better than eddie no question
Whos listen 2023?
2024. I'll never stop listening to White Lion
@@RobertCallus Me too
2024❤
This song is just jammed full of guitar. I mean there are literally four distinct guitar solos in this. Just an epic hard rock anthem !!!!!!!
Amazing Mike Tramp's Vocal... Live music ...same quality in the recording studio ❤
We always played it at the diner on the jukebox in NJ.....
Omg this is so awesome
