I can't stand like tramp. He was trying to take white line to be a political machine instead of just playing where I can roll. He leans so far left he falls over

Phenomenal interview, Brendon. Thank you to both yourself and Mike for taking the time and effort to put this thing together. Mike truly seems to be one hell of a nice dude, just doing his best to enjoy life and keep his fans both happy and clued up on what he wants to achieve going forward. I hope you get the opportunity to do more interviews like this one Brendon. Just awesome..🤘

The ghost of White Lion is because of Mike Tramp the voice of White Lion... I absolutely love Tramps voice and his solo albums.. Saw him acoustic a few years back and it was absolutely great! This new band is great too and got to see them in St. Charles, IL. This year.. Great interview and Mike's a great guy!

Great interview. Mike is such a great guy. Lived here in Australia for quite a few years and bumped into him regularly and saw all his shows here. He should be well proud of the body of work he's created over the decodes. Thanks for the interview - look forward to another one focusing on his solo output.

Yes Mike certainly had a fantastic catalogue of work. It’s a shame more White Lion fans and music fans in general aren’t will to explore his solo works. I’ve always really been impressed with how well Mike has transitions from 80’s rocker to heartland story teller. Not that he didn’t always tell great stories with his lyrics but now the music really accentuates the lyrical content even more.

Aamzing Interview Brendon, you totally deserve props on this one especially because you had the knowledge of everything the man has done to this point and he was visibly touched impressed and all. Often interveiwers hit on the same types of questions and you went nowhere near that. To use an example Rocker Rick Springfield every single intereview I ever see with this man who has had a career for 50 years of releases he still gets the same questions "Is their really a Jessie's Girl" "are you going back on General Hospital" etc...things like that as if he had one song/hit and one album, but kudos on this interview I have been watching a bunch of Mike's interviews and he is always super genuine in all he speaks on, and those stories about NOT one person calling when WL split up shows how valuable labels sometimes, many times look at their artists who make the "suits" millions

That scene of the movie got me taken back on the band history. I wanted to hear more from them cuz they were so fun. Now I know that was 1986. Pride came out 1987 and took MTV by storm. It would have been nice to hear how that came about. Mike Tramp if you see this please tell the story how it came to be. I love that movie and your wonderful songs that came to be Pride Album. He was suck a cutie back then and still is today! Too bad he is taken.

Great interview-good news- good stories for a new fan-and not least the great humor. As a relatively "new" Mike Tramp fan, I am so glad that the wonderful songs and melodies have been re-recorded, giving us the chance to experience the music live with a voice that suits it now. Music should be experienced live-it adds so much more. I've been lucky to attend several concerts in DK , and I always have a good time with the great music. The songs hold up even today, and there's an immense joy in playing, a lot of presence, and stories mixed with a good dose of humor. I can only highly recommend it-take good care of Tramp; he deserves the best for his hard work and love for the music ❤

When asked, I explain that the music collection I’ve amassed is simply MY “Photo” album. I’m able to recall my life events, friends, and what I was feeling when specific songs were released, or played in heavy rotation during a particular period of my life. Thankfully, unlike looking at old pictures, I don’t feel any regret regarding where today’s extra pounds came from, or where my thick teenage hair has gone. 😉

If you really find out about Mike trant, he's a far-left liberal Democrat woke person. If he would have just shut up with the politics on his album and even his solo albums are all filled with nothing but politics and putting down Christianity and putting down people 's religions he puts down who people vote for. He's a divider,... He divides people veto left willingly because he wanted nothing to do with that part of politics mixed in with rock and roll. Vito just wanted the rock! And play rock and roll. He didn't want to play these political games or use White Lion as a political horse
