Vitos tone on Pride is the absolute best, just insane, freaking love it !

[@NIKONKRILLE]

It is insane, totally agree

[@javtimestwo]

Vito was a beast on the guitar. Look up videos of all his solos and they are all amazing, unique and fit the song perfectly. I enjoy the WL music to this day and the solos are always the highlight of the song.

[@michaelturner6030]

His solo on Little Fighter is perfect... great tone, well-structured with the right amount of shredding.

[@charleswilson4526]

His tone is interesting because there doesn’t seem to be a ton of gain or effects but if god damn slays

[@GregoryWalls]

I got Greg in Anthrax. I knew him, he was my friend, and I told Scott about him mainly because he had an AMAZING huge drum set that was so damn impressive, I thought it would make Anthrax look more professional on stage. I brought Scott and the guys to Greg's house in Douglaston Queens, NY, and that's where he Greg and Scott met. That's where Greg's music career started.

[@owlperchedsilo3745]

[@diegolerma3550]

SORRY that this interview hurt you, yet upon those powerful feelings of "to the side" , "hardly recognized" , "barely known" or "a damnded good swing rated only for junk", common sense rules over any idiodic criminality! Have you given ANY THOUGHT AT ALL to the crazy ramps and stupid, but very silent speed bumps, of other great bands like WASP, TWISTED SISTER, MEGADETH, IRON MAIDEN, STRYPER or JUDAS PRIEST? White Lion WAS NOT THE ONLY HEART IN THE HOUSE! They had talented music that was fun and loving, yet a burden on a bandmembers shoulders was present inside the practice of pretty much EVERY BAND! PLEASE, TAKE THAT INTO YOUR MIND AS MUCH AS YOU EXPRESS WHITE LION LOVE, THAT KIND OF FAN IS TOTALLY COOL!!

Mike Tramp is WAY overrated, basically just a pretty boy. Vito on the w other hand was a god.

[@1trkmd]

I've posted many Vito solo covers here on YT with over 200k views. People really miss Vito!! I contacted Tramp a couple years ago and sent him my videos asking him if he needed a guitarist for WL reunion. Here's his reply: "Brother keep doing what you're do and just enjoy. I am doing something completely different today and got it under control. Vito would be very proud if he saw this." Mike

[@1trkmd]

@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen Sounds like Vito can't play like he used to... but Glenn Tipton can't either but that doesn't stop Judas Priest. I'm just saying White Lion can make a reunion work if they hire a guitarist to play along side Vito and play parts that he can't. Because people just want to see them on stage again. Works for Priest. 😆

[@JoeR203]

And you're the only one who nails the solos note for note. Other people will miss a harmonic, play too fast, miss notes, play too slow.....and people leave the "Nailed it!" comment. 🙄 Mike could have used you instead of that guy he had at that Waterstock show.

[@DWyn-xq4yf]

I was/am the same way. I have three older siblings that helped familiarize me with '80s rock bands, which I loved at the time. When Pearl Jam and Nirvana exploded, I was in 5th grade, and though I don't dislike these bands or their first albums, it was bands that my three older siblings turned me on to that made me fall in love with rock music. Pride by White Lion and New Jersey by Bon Jovi are a couple of the first music purchases. Magical stuff from an equally significant era in music.

[@Thedesertguy75]

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 as fluid 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." His solos just sing incredibly by themselves but fit in so effortlessly snug into each song. A rare Artist indeed. The real kind...

[@syfman6]

One of the best music interviews I've heard on KZbin. Plz get Vito on for an interview...💚🎸

[@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid]

He doesn't do any interviews. It took Eddie Trunk 15 years to get him to do one. 2007. It was 15 years from White Lion to get him to do that one. He hasn't done one since and now another 15 years.

[@silentskystudios]

Thanks so much for posting this interview. I was a young kid who was just starting to learn to play the drums when Pride was released. White Lion was one of my favorite bands, and Greg was an early influence on me as a drummer. He had some great chops, but always played tastefully and what was best for the song. And I'm happy to say I'm still playing all of these years later. Like Greg, I also got into recording, and ran my own studio for a time. So thank you, Greg, for the early inspiration, and I wish continued success to you both!

Thanks for the interview. Greg is one of my favorite drummers and WL was one of my favorites back then. Greg, i ran into you in LA in '92 at an event Amber Lynn was throwing and you were playing drums with the band at the event. You were such a nice guy and spoke to me about drums and gave me your time and I will never forget that. I was barely 21 years old and was living in LA attending musicians institute for the summer - one of the most memorable summers of my life. Am sill hopeful for a WH reunion.

Great interview... you allowed Greg to speak freely and without interruption. Personally, I'd love to see Vito play again... in White Lion or otherwise. After EVH, Vito Bratta is my favorite guitarist. I've heard Vito in a few interviews and he seems to be a very humble, nice person. I've now heard Greg in an interview, and he's equally humble and nice. I've also heard Mike Tramp in interviews, and it seems that Mike is... different from Vito and Greg.

[@robbiegarnz7732]

This is some great stuff! I am shocked that you aren’t a bigger channel, given your inroads with these amazing musicians! I love Anthrax and White Lion. I always felt like Vitto could be in the same conversation as George Lynch and Eddie Van Halen. I think it’s a shame that you don’t hear from him much.... wishing your channel the best!

As a White Lion fan, had to watch this and really enjoyed it. I think an earlier comment alluded to it, and of course I know the return of the band on stage is unlikely, but why not do what the cast of 'Friends' have just done. Get the guys together in the same room for video interviews Q&A, reminiscing, possibly even a bit of a jam together. I’d be happy to see that. A reunion doesn't have to be a tour. And Jason, you could do the interview! If that goes well, record a song or two and put out the tracks on a compilation or something.

In Rock and being a guitar player. I wanted to be Vito. I cheered them loud and proud no matter what people said when Alternative music arrived. Sad that the typical record company corperate bull used them up and threw them to the side. Hope some in some way they can play together again.

[@kensteffens74]

Great interview w/Greg D., dynamic drummer! As a guitarist myself, I've always been entranced by melodic playing & musicianship. Being 62 years old, the cats that make me shake my head & feel totally inadequate are Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, EVH, Jake E Lee, Rhodes, & (yep) Vito Brittany. Vito took Eddie's tapping to another dimension. Plus his classical insertions & pinch harmonics were never overstated. When you're that GOOD & suffer a tendon/ligament injury that limits your playing ability, of course you wouldn't want to reappear & be a former shell of yourself. GOD works miracles & we can only hope that we'll see Vito playing again.

[@calibre18517]

Interesting interview. Subbed. pls keep them coming. Trunk says Vito hasn't played in 20 yrs, but Greg clearly says that he has but that it's just painful when he plays. Greg seems highly intelligent. The makings are there for a reunion. One big advance check from promotion/record company to Vito could make sure his mom is taken care of while out on tour. Add a new album...could be epic.

[@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen]

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. I believe Vito told Eddie that he tried playing also and that it wasn’t comfortable, acoustic was easier

Seeing White Lion live Nov 1989 at Birmingham NEC UK with Motley Crue and Skid Row was one of the most exicting shows of my teenage years.

Fantastic interview. So great to hear his side of things and go back in time for a bit. I loved this band and listened to them ALOT back in the day. I remember seeing an interview back in the late 80's where Greg seemed to have some frustration about the song direction that Mike (and maybe Vito) were going in, with songs like Little Fighter. Didn't seem Greg was into the whole protest song thing.

[@javtimestwo]

Jason-Tremendous. I could not stop listening from beginning to end. About time Greg was given a chance to talk about his playing with WL. Those 4 made great music and they are a band I still enjoy just as much today vs back in 87-91. The "rumors" about Vito should just be left alone. Leave Vito alone. If and when he wants to return again in some form is up to him and nobody else. You have to respect why he left his guitar behind and what he's done in his life without the, "fortune and fame". Of course I would love to hear him play, love to hear him being interviewed but he has other priorities and good for him. White Lion music is very underrated. The best part of this interview was when Greg spoke somewhat about why he left the band after that tour of Europe-I think Jason did a great job filling in the blanks to that story. Thank you!

Saw White Lion open for Cinderella. Tangier was on the bill too. The live version of Radar Live was insane....

[@javtimestwo]

I saw that tour but Badlands was there instead of WL. I had to wait another year to see WL open for Ozzy-I also think Vixen was on that tour.

[@flyme2themoon720]

Yeah its crazy cuz this many years later the song Wait does come into my head alot just because the word is so used..

[@Lynchfan88]

Wow! What happened to the drummer from '87-'91 w/that huge mop of curls? Lol. Great stuff here and even after 30 years it's interesting Greg can't discuss some of the more legal related issues surrounding what happened. The first real interview I've ever seen w/Greg.

[@joshuabird852]

I'd drive across the country to see a White Lion reunion...👍🏻

[@jimkalfakis9893]

Mike already admitted that Greg and James weren’t paid as much

[@trusstingod]

If White Lion could have a reunion I would much appreciate it.

[@yeahright302]

well since you want it,im sure they will!!lol

[@atteljas]

Only one problem standds in between that : Vito

[@samestrada]

Greg's drumming style is amazing

[@avs_smart_systems]

WOW, Extreme, Mr Big, and White Lion. what a time to live. WL was the perfect match.

The late Larry Ray (Ism) & Ryan Maher (Circus Of Power) along w/Greg - A trifecta of drummers from Douglaston, Queens NY

I remember wanting a steinberger guitar because of white lion, but I could only afford a foreign made Ibanez
