Mike Tramp of White Lion Live! Five White Lion Classics from the Opening Night of the U.S. Tour!

I don't care what anyone says the music back then was sooooooooo much better than the crap out today, I know there's a generational thing there too but honestly its true.

[@tcrane8630]

Finally a guitarist that makes a fantastic attempt at Vito's parts.. Good job and thanku.

[@nickmelara78]

White Lions 4 albums are really as good as it gets for me as far as melodic hard rock. The lyrical content and musicality has stood the test of time.

[@zaclongchar5376]

👍

[@SNAKES29]

💯 Loved this band since 88

[@kennycab3374]

For sure, one of my favorite hairbands. Someone who came on the scene too late before Cobain destroyed this music was Every Mothers Nightmare. Their second album reminds me so much of White Lion.

[@roncollins905]

They released 5 albums

[@jimmielincomfelt446]

Gotta respect the guitarist. He took all of Vito’s stuff and transposed it to the new keys. A lot of work and he sounds great!

[@Polentaccio]

Agreed. Great chops

[@palumbieri]

Great job for the key changes, and actually they didn't have the choice, because Mike's voice tone has grown old (pretty well) and is lower than 35 years ago. Awesome by the way.

[@jimmielincomfelt446]

As far as Tramp goes, I think he sounds great. You’d never expect Joe Montana to throw an 80 yard touchdown pass at his age. The bar those singers set in the 80’s and early 90’s was so incredibly high. There are very few that can still do it into their 60’s and 70’s. I think it’s smart to keep the music alive out there, and do it in a way that doesn’t kill the voice.

[@stephensanchez9590]

He probably can't play it like Vito can

[@metallion0738]

​@@stephensanchez9590 of course not, but at least he tries and sounds good, but not as good as Vito either.

[@6410daniel]

very nice.guys.. thx for still playing live... Dj # 1

[@BluieBeth]

Dang! He's 62 and looks great! Total respect for him lowering the key. We are ALL older, Mike! :-) Still rocking and looking good!! xoxo

So glad they were able to revamp the songs so Mike could be comfortable belting them out again.

We haven't forgot about you all!! Love it!!!!!!!!

[@markmailloux4472]

I just read a quote from Mike and I love it: "I can't be Mike Tramp 1988. I can't sing like that, and I'm not going up on stage and doing a half-assed job". There you go. Once you get that out of the way, admit you can't sing like you did 35 years ago it allows you to open up and sing in a key that fits which is what he's done here. And I'm impressed. And Marcus on guitar is outstanding!

[@mlbolts72]

Loved that band growing up. So many great tunes Rock on ...

[@justindannenberg4319]

OMFG.....White Lion never dies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@restoredaccess]

Love the slowed down Radar Love. Parts of it got a Johnny Thunders type feel to it.

[@GuitarGuy309]

Honestly, this sounds fantastic. Miss Vito like crazy but I think he would be proud of this. Mike is killing it and the guitarist is doing a fantastic job with the transposed keys for Mikes lower register. Tone and playing is fantastic. Love this - super impressed. Keep it up Mr Tramp!!!! White Lion for life!!! Miss you like crazy Vito.

I can't compare him to Vito. The divide is just too great.

[@onkelmarvin8360]

@@mariopalos9238 He`s nothing more, than a pale initation, of one of the greatest Hard Rock guitarists of all time.

[@troywindle8308]

Saw the clip for Little Fighter and thought it was a great song, walked into the record store the next day and the album big game was starring right at me, turned out to be 1 of my all time favourite albums and still is

[@markmailloux4472]

I'll tell you what I like about this. I've heard bands tune down so far that it sounds downright weird. These are done in such a totally different key that they sound fresh instead of sounding like he's trying to pull it over the listeners ears. I'd go see this show!

[@zepp3lin]

seeing this makes you appreciate how Vito Bratta was guitar god

[@Lance37a]

Also these songs don't need a second guitar player.

All joking aside, the guitarist is totally bad ass! Tramp is obviously holding back and trying not to blow out his voice by playing in a lower key. Still sounds awesome.

[@patzguitarz]

Saw White Lion in Atlanta in '89. Vito was playing his white Steinberger at that time. The band was so tight. Everything they played sounded like the studio versions. Vito didn't miss a note on his solos.

[@kevinaustin0369]

Caught that tour in Birmingham Alabama. They were tight.

[@JoeR203]

I can't afford a real Steinberger so I got a clone from China and made it look like Vito's. I have a couple vids of my Vito Bratta Tribute Guitars.

@@JoeR203 Very cool! If I recall correctly, Vito played the cream strat on Wait and maybe a few other songs at that concert.

There's a guy on KZbin (Rob Peters III) who nails Vito's solos note for note and he got in touch with Tramp a few years ago and Tramp wasn't interested.

[@NEWYORKSTORM13]

It's probably a tramp/bratta thing. As long as it isn't in vain of actual white lion... "legal issues"

[@GuitarBeastKing]

I just looked him up, he played those White Lion solos good but didn't quite get the vibrato or tone right. Granted it was 12+ years ago when he recorded those

[@JoeR203]

@@GuitarBeastKing Yeah his tone kind of had that nasal sound to it. But on the other hand, that makes it easier to distinguish his playing from the record. I've seen videos of people who have the tone and volume set so that you hear more of the album audio over their playing, and people are like "You nailed it!".

[@GuitarBeastKing]

@@JoeR203 Yep can't argue with that

[@tubetwister76]

mike sounds good, guitar player fantastic combination of his own and vitos style

[@macheted01]

I dig what they are doing. Honestly, I would rather see artists from back in the day do the songs as they can do them now, not trying to do them as they used to be able to, and hack them up. Would it be cooler if there was a full band, of course, but I understand this too. Maybe if this tour is successful, he will look into doing just that. Interesting take on Radar Love.

What’s hard to understand? Less members to pay, more money left for you. It’s a financial thing of course.

Yeah. It's Mike alone and not White Lion so he doesn't get paid the big bucks. So he doesn't have enough to split. But this was a good performance.

Cool performance even if it’s not in the original key. Mike Tramp and his guitar player are doing a good job. The only thing they need is a bass player, a drummer and I would add a rhythm guitar player. It’s a different take on great rock songs 🤘😎

You gotta hand it to Mike. Got a good guitarist to tone it down some. So Mike doesnt have a need to heighten his vocal range. No bassist no drummer needed to do backing vocals. It just wouldnt sound right. Perfectly done you ask me.
