White Lion - Mike Tramp & Vito Bratta

[@deanwitt7903]

White lion never wrote a bad song . All their songs were catchy , melodic rock with incredibly well constructed guitar solos . 30 years later it still is quality music .

[@eisbaellsche175]

Thank you so much,Vito and Mike. Your songs stand the test of time...

[@loveguitars]

Vito if your out there, I love the Big Game Album.💗

[@safelyanonymous5717]

same here; Big Game was an incredible LP we love White Lion and we want a reunion!!!

[@johnarvanitis4718]

same

[@EternalDestiny48]

Absolute gem of an album with many deep meaningful lyrics about keeping a family unit together to avoid divorce and another about children and world peace 🕊️

[@edwardskol1812]

Yes!! 🎸🎶👊

[@crisscat2006]

Hi, I'm Vitto under this nickname

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I love the husband/wife dynamic that most great bands have. Tramp is like, "It's okay, settle down, let just go easy." Vito's like, "Nah I'm going nuclear!" :)

[@carriesitar9155]

love all white lion songs and love mike tramp and Vito Bratta rock on

[@gogolisukisuki]

I grew up listening to them.

[@susanglthonger5184]

Vito come back just one more time

[@eliasbarnes8061]

these guys should have been massive, for those that know Whitle Lion, Vito and Mike you are loved so much

[@estiwulandari6340]

Miss you WHITE LION....please come back...

[@darwinparlindungan2544]

Thank you for this interview 😀

[@pimbarlina8371]

Miss them guys 💜

[@KISStributeNYC97]

I miss them, too. I think they would have done very well on a triple bill with a few other bands from that era. I would have gone….multiple times.

[@keendeesjarlais3636]

WAT??? you look 23

[@charlesmayer7097]

Please come back. We don't care if you're album is planned ..heavy or soft. Light or dark. Just come back.

[@Kimberly_11]

Also I watched Mike do another interview that was made a year ago, and he was still worried about the world just like he is in this interview ✌️

[@Yarrg]

Big Game Was AWESOME!!!!

[@forgotmyname4971]

Brilliant album.

[@lolipalmer7598]

Truth! U Rock & Thank U.. Love Ur music👊

[@stuckie3916]

I loved that record.

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

Vito is a bad ass guitarist!

[@edwardbradford6794]

If my mind is Evil, off of Big Game, is an awesome heavy White Lion song. It’s a great 👍🏼 album from beginning to end.

[@culleykaufman2295]

You can tell Mike has much respect for Vito....All your shit is great....All people have opinions....thats ok.....thats part of the business....Metallica changed their position on their sound many times.....its ok....life goes on...enjoy the legacy. But Vito if you see this, Im one of your biggest fans, we are waiting for your return.....

[@lasyngwieeeiiilarsen7510]

Love vito b❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@DespinaBletsos]

And Mike 😊

[@arturovecchione]

where are these guys!!! Clever smart and ahead talking about caring about life, harmony, nuclear waste.... they were ahead hundreds of years

[@wakethebarbarian4577]

Love this interview. These guys are great!

[@cristongumban2086]

I am a biggest fan of White lion

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Another revealing interview. Good stuff. To me, Big Game felt rushed. The band said it was, too. I didn’t know this until years later. Little Fighter, Broken Home, Don’t Say It’s Over, Cry For Freedom, If My Mind Is Evil….really good White Lion tunes. The album cover I thought was not the best choice. Compare it to Fight To Survive…Pride….and the later, Mane Attraction…..it didn’t belong. My opinion.

[@LAramdog]

It's too bad these guys will never get back together again. I think the record industry screwed them over, and they said; screw it, we're done! If they had their start today. With the accessibilty of the internet. These guys would be blowing rock bands out of the water. They were the next Van Halen! R.I.P. White Lion, it was great rockin' with Ya' Boy's! 🦁 🎸🎼🎵🎶

[@jetguam23]

Vito’s New York attitude came out. You can tell this is the beginning of his way out.hes about had enough

[@charlesmayer7097]

I agree. You can tell he's feeling kind of salty towards something.

[@dltguitar6532]

Yea I heard some dudes saying Vito was a shy gentle guy but when you hear him in interviews he’s a typical hard nosed Staten Island New Yorker Italian

[@Kimberly_11]

Loved the end of this interview... "I don't use aerosol deodorant" 🤣

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Vito is the man. Usually it's Mike Tramp who can't shut his yap.

[@MarceloRomero360]

Damn!! Vito has a big chip on his shoulder. Props fir speaking his mind. Very entertaining. His voice is similar to Johnny Ramone.

[@rcreynolds6186]

I can understand why Vito walked away from show business.

[@michaelr.5676]

Vito early on stole so much from VH verbatim. HOWEVER the style elements that were Vito's creation were new and innovative. Those parts are why I continue to listen to White Lion today

[@rcreynolds6186]

Everyone stole from Eddie.

[@vitobratta_WL]

If it wasn't for eddie, 90% of glam/hair metal bands wouldnt exist

[@markkiss4126]

⚠️ BIG Difference between Stole and Influence!!!! ✔✔

[@charlesmayer7097]

..... I could see a lot of weird feelings t between the two in this interview. They both felt uncomfortable towards each other .... The sad demise.

[@vickithomas179]

Touche’ Vito.

[@FaruhRamadhan]

Manusia cerdas bermusick

[@charlesmayer7097]

...... I already made like five or six comments on this video. Seriously just bring your s*** back!!!!!

[@enabledintergers9372]

actually main attraction is a heavier record! you have sabbathier riffs like she got everything Leave me alone has a heavy riff as well! Out with the boys starts heavy also! lights and thunder has a heavy riff and The warsong!!! dude its seems like a heavy record to me!!

[@jedsteelwell2354]

I thought Big game was a great album. Honestly there's not a bad white lion record

[@endtyme1345]

They are acting defensive the whole interview. This were the times when "Big Game" was received with mixed reviews, some of them truly aggressive and Vito seems more affected & aggressive for that here. Mike looks more candid or maybe he's trying to be conciliatory and THAT is a virtue, not blasting the UK Press like Vito does here just because he's but%hurt. The album wasn't good enough, let's be honest. It's a sub par from "Pride". Then they worked really hard on "Mane Attraction" but i think the relationship between these two was broken already. Vito was a genius on guitar but he wasn't ready for the highs & lows of fame. Mike could while Vito throw all his talent for a restaurant or whatever he decided to spent his time the rest of his life.

[@charlesmayer7097]

I agree. You can tell Vito is feeling rather salty towards something or someone. I'm sensing a bad vibe between the two. Just what I'm seeing hearing and feeling. 👍

[@u812notme]

Wow I can really feel Vito’s disgust for the business

[@spazemunky]

Tramp wants to strange him

[@keendeesjarlais3636]

he wouldn't be anything without Vito - so hes watching his p's and q's

[@crisscat2006]

They got hungry for not to be the Album received like they expected?

[@wasp4eva1]

Big Game is my favorite White Lion album, but the 1st x 3 are all good. Couldn't get into Mane Attraction.

[@MadMax-pd2gu]

They don't seem too connected or comfortable to each other. This vid shows that Vito wasn't too pleased about Tramp. I guess it was just business, until it lasted.

[@christianprinceteachesisla1662]

Drama queen much?

[@rivierafiumicino7088]

@@christianprinceteachesisla1662 No man, that's just body language. It's clear Vito doesn't stand Mike at all. Mike confirmed that they weren't too close, just musical partners.

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Lots to dissect in this interview. Times were tough…the reviews were not that positive for the record…and it hurt. You take….Pride….in your music. Gosh…I wish they would have reunited for a reunion tour…there’s an audience for it. They wound have done very well. Put out another Greatest Hits record with some new tunes, acoustic versions, etc….it would have been nice.

[@ninjaaitools]

Big Game was awesome! Mane Attraction...not so much.

[@brianwolf3990]

all WL records are great. "Fight To Survive" was an album i heard well after "Mane Attraction" and i read that the release date on that record was delay after delay and that is an awsome record.

[@jonvisser1509]

Why didn't they have a Poison or Bon Jovi type comeback
