Man, if Vito is still able to play the guitar half as good as back in the day, he should come back for just one more tour. Mike is still out there fighting for metal, and gives us these old songs, and though there is definitely some bad blood here and there, Mike seem to have respect for Vito still. They need to come together, one last time! For the fans!!
This is awesome and I love hearing stories like this. White Lion was a great band and very underrated in my opinion and same for Vito as being one of the best. Tramp has a incredible voice and I love that he's still making incredible music and I would love to see him live!! That would be my dream.
Caught Mike's acoustic show last yr in Detroit. Cool hearing his own and White Lion material acoustically. Really great guy. He signed my cds. Catch a show peeps!
That sounds like a great time and I would've loved to be there and meet him. I know that won't happen for me due to my handicap a briddle bone disease but I love his music and if I could see him live would be a dream. His music has got me through some hard times.
Vito Bratta, in my opinion is probably the most “brilliant” of all the great guitar players from the 80’s, with his great riffs but what amazing melodic guitar solos he played that were just out of the universe on a scale seldom seen then or now. Nobody like him. A guitar Genius. He’s absolutely amazing and will always be one of my favourite guitar hero’s. And as for Mike Tramp. What a brilliant singer and lovely person. Loved White Lion.
Mike is such a stand up cool guy!! I ran lights for him at a benefit show in Illinois a few years back on his acoustic tour and he was phenomenal!! He still can sing with the best of them!!
Hey, thank you very much for upload :) Really nice, Mike say the great Vito Bratta, the Italian Stallion but forgets to say the one and only as he used to say at the concerts :) Coole Version of the Song
This is beautiful song...i like white lions song very much.... because its all can make me flying and dreaming....singing and dancing.... with sweet rock song.....bravo white lion
Youre right !! I'm also from Ohio and I will always love Mike, Vito and White Lion ! He still sounds awesome !!! Miss Vito though. I am so fortunate to have grown up in the 80's and also seeing them live twice. They should have gone farther than they did. I loved them !!!
It would seem that they had said to him: - Hey Mike! We have a low budget show at the Hard Rock, are you interested? - Damn man, who will I call to accompany me? Okay, there are some guys I think have a band behind my house. ready! For God nobody expects there is another Vito, but at least call someone who knows how to play the guitar !!!
I saw Mike with Freak of Nature back in 1994 and he showed more respect for that line up than for this one. He told the crowd: " This is not White lion so we won't play any white lion song here tonight" So now he says "Vito!" before this guy's solo?
Kule videoer! Jeg hadde gleden av å bli "kommandert" opp på scenen av Mike Tramp tidlig i konserten etter at han så meg med min White Lion-skjorte blant publikum. Du har ikke tilfeldigvis en video eller noen stillbilder av det?
Sounds closer to the Mane Attraction version which I dislike. Mike seems like a cool dude, but I honestly can't listen to anything White Lion without Vito. Hats off to you Mr. Bratta for putting family first. Still hoping you put out some new music one day.
Calling out the name "Vito" before the other guy's solo? That was the nail in the coffin for me not seeing him (on top of the 7 1/2 minutes of BS talking) next time he comes to town.
They should have just gone straight to the third chorus rather than do a guitar solo section. Given the fact that Vito Bratta is a ridiculously gifted guitarist, the guitarist here should have had the wherewithal to tell Mike "hey, I ain't no Vito" and suggested to go straight into an original song right after the second chorus.
These guys were too hungover to play for the fans in Massachusetts so the band vixen showed them how to open for ozzy, what a shame. Girls were more manly, I really only wanted to see Vito
This is way lower than the original but smart for him to do it as he can now rather than butcher it in the original key. But jesus, have a guitar player do SOMETHING close to he original solo, that fucking sucked
He's washed up lol The dream is over,anyway White Lion was just another mini Van Halen but not even half as talented than the original. Hi from France :)
They had their 15 minutes of fame when Pop Metal was a thing for a short period back in the 80‘s. But they were gone like almost every other pretty boy „hair metal“ band as soon as Nirvana came up and changed everything. Now Mike is traveling with a rented car and an acoustic guitar, playing Bars & Grills and tiny Clubs, telling stories from the good old days and playing 35 year old songs to make ends meet. Sad if you think about it.
I always thought WL were better than most of the so-called Hair Metal bands. Mike had a good voice and Vito was brilliant. Would much rather hear them than Bon Jovi
Such a cool story from Mike,I was happy to hear that he gave a lot of respect about Vito.White Lion one of the underrated bands.

I agree
HIS VOICE IS ON POINT 💯🥰
Yes i agree his voice is awesome
Han er god til at fortælle ❤lige som han er til at synge❤❤❤
Mike you are awesome bro! Keep up the good work.
As a White Lion fan, never saw this one until now. Great story and memories.

I'm 80s for life !!! It was a very special time for me 😊👍 !!!!
You are so right :) For me too

Vito was insanely awesome!
Hey, thank you very much for upload :) Really nice, Mike say the great Vito Bratta, the Italian Stallion but forgets to say the one and only as he used to say at the concerts :) Coole Version of the Song
mike sounds good; really wish vito would come back
From what I've read, he's not able to play the guitar anymore because it makes his wrist hurt way too much...
yes I am familiar he injured his left wrist; however, i heard it has healed
Thanks a lot for uploading @Mr AOR
This is beautiful song...i like white lions song very much.... because its all can make me flying and dreaming....singing and dancing.... with sweet rock song.....bravo white lion
Broken Heart was the first song they wrote together. The Road to Valhalla was the second song they wrote together, the same night.
Mike tramp is going on a us tour in april 2023 i cant wait love mike he can still rock
gracias Mike for the history youtube always be the most great in the world ojala no cambies tu escencia this is the real tv.
Mike is the man.
My Fevorit song Farewell to you by white Lion❤👍
Rock on my Viking brother , Ohio still loves you man !!!!!
Youre right !! I'm also from Ohio and I will always love Mike, Vito and White Lion ! He still sounds awesome !!! Miss Vito though. I am so fortunate to have grown up in the 80's and also seeing them live twice. They should have gone farther than they did. I loved them !!!
It's a great way too hear how white lion began
Keep on Rock 'n' Mike. Good memories in 1983.
It would seem that they had said to him: - Hey Mike! We have a low budget show at the Hard Rock, are you interested?
- Damn man, who will I call to accompany me? Okay, there are some guys I think have a band behind my house. ready!
For God nobody expects there is another Vito, but at least call someone who knows how to play the guitar !!!
I thought he was going to say, and that's why the album sounded like bark at the moon
Hope vito brata will show up on the social media
I saw Mike with Freak of Nature back in 1994 and he showed more respect for that line up than for this one. He told the crowd: " This is not White lion so we won't play any white lion song here tonight" So now he says "Vito!" before this guy's solo?
o.m.g ilove this great story
I love white lion....n
Yeah, White Lion was my absolute favorite band for years because of the "One and only, the Italian Stallion Vito Bratta".
Like your video on White Lion
Wow Mike looks different since he's older.
Mike Tramp is now a Stand UP comedian ?? More music please!!
He think he is... All he is is a fool running from his past... Idiot
Vitto version please...
White Lion needs to just reunite already.
But only with Vito Bratta
Ouh Mike 😘😘😘
The Vito Bratta story!
Kule videoer! Jeg hadde gleden av å bli "kommandert" opp på scenen av Mike Tramp tidlig i konserten etter at han så meg med min White Lion-skjorte blant publikum. Du har ikke tilfeldigvis en video eller noen stillbilder av det?
Mike's version. I will reserve any judgement until I hear Vito's side.
Story w should have ended the moment the people started singing the song, also wow... They slowed this down.
wow they really took a dump all over his song. sad because it was a good song back in the day
Man he looks totally different with dark hair.
Cry for freedom
From stadiums to 30 people venues... times have sadly changed... :o(
the song starts at 7:04
He’s morphing into a younger version of Ozzy?!
Thought the same thing.
White lyin
Good
Hey just need get over things loosing all my bads
It's like Mick without Keith......No Vitto? I just can't 😔
He forgot to say that White Lion died when Vito never returned to the band.
Save vitobrata mike to family whitelion,, please mike?
Sounds closer to the Mane Attraction version which I dislike. Mike seems like a cool dude, but I honestly can't listen to anything White Lion without Vito. Hats off to you Mr. Bratta for putting family first. Still hoping you put out some new music one day.
Where’s the f legend intro for Broken Heart song? Thats not Broken Heart lol
Because he is a idiot Who change All WL Songs Because he hate that time... A real fool now
@@jensnordin1822 why do he hate his times at white lion?
Calling out the name "Vito" before the other guy's solo? That was the nail in the coffin for me not seeing him (on top of the 7 1/2 minutes of BS talking) next time he comes to town.
It was rude.
Shit guitarist!
Only one vitto
Was this a concert or a spoken word tour?? My band would attack me if I talked more than 40 seconds.
Wow how doubles play mike tramp character lol
I think Mike's singing has improved compared to how he sang in the 80's.
Dropping two octaves isn't an improvement, sorry.
Vito was great. Not feeling this.
creo ke es dificil rrenplasar a bito bratta como guiatrrista en esta gran banda clsica ochentera
Man, I fear to spell but the only thing missing out there is Vito, what and how ever it costs, he should step in. Yes, I know all about his injury....
I thought he'd have a more Denmark accent---. Like Lars---sort of.
They should have just gone straight to the third chorus rather than do a guitar solo section. Given the fact that Vito Bratta is a ridiculously gifted guitarist, the guitarist here should have had the wherewithal to tell Mike "hey, I ain't no Vito" and suggested to go straight into an original song right after the second chorus.
These watered down singer/songwriter versions that Mike Tramp is peddling just don't have the same gusto.
Ma - an!, Christian Bale can play any role!
Sebastian took away his girl??
🙉🙉
Astaghfirulloh..... 😩😩😒😒
Lmao Sabastian Bach took his girl ohh wait he was only in highschool then.Then Vince Neil returned her back to Mike.
These guys were too hungover to play for the fans in Massachusetts so the band vixen showed them how to open for ozzy, what a shame.
Girls were more manly, I really only wanted to see Vito
Lol, you forget where you come from mike,
can u find a better guitaris n drummer? my guitarist can play better than that
At let a guitarist that respect Vito´s solos and make an effort to play them decently.
Lmao their from Denmark wut u expect
I love White Lion, but no musician, I mean absolutely NO musician should ever babble a 7min intro before kicking off into the song.
Drop your Ego ; Maybe Vito would come back
So sad to see than the guitarist played melody like kindergarten student...
So now all the former pink spandex wearing hair band dudes wear black and have tattoos to look tough now ?
This is way lower than the original but smart for him to do it as he can now rather than butcher it in the original key. But jesus, have a guitar player do SOMETHING close to he original solo, that fucking sucked
the band is like"when is this guy gonna shut up so we can play the song!"
Amazingly, Tramp's voice is still pretty good... he should keep going, unlike Stephan Percy of Ratt... He TOTALLY sucks!!
Poor Mike. He looks pretty wasted :-(
He's washed up lol The dream is over,anyway White Lion was just another mini Van Halen but not even half as talented than the original. Hi from France :)
@@nicolassosolic3760 No White Lion was not little Van Halen. Completely different style
Shame...
Terrible, demasiado abajo
The solo SUCKS!! Vito MUST come back
Mike is lost..This band are totally SUCK!! He missed his White Lion hey day..Sadly..
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Horribles esas versiones

Mike Tramp should hire me as his guitarist. Seriously.
Nirvana and all the grunge bands of the 90s were very short couple years themselves
I always thought WL were better than most of the so-called Hair Metal bands. Mike had a good voice and Vito was brilliant. Would much rather hear them than Bon Jovi
