White Lion - Radar Love (Official Music Video)

[@igorcort]

The solo that Mr. Vito Bratta does in this song is simply amazing. One of the most original in the history of Rock.

@@RS-qo1rb Yes, Ozzy was still Ozzy then. Vixen was also part of the lineup. They were also great. That was an awesome show. If you're still into Ozzy, I highly recommend you check out the Ozzy tribute band OZZ. They're the next best thing to the real deal. The singer isn't some goofy caricature of Ozzy like so many Ozzy tribute acts are. They're based in Houston. They don't tour, which sucks. They've posted many videos on KZbin. They're awesome!

RADAR LOVE "I've been drivin' all night, My hands are wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head That drives my heel And my baby calls says She needs me here and It's half past four And I'm shifting gear When she gets lonely And the longin' gets too much She sends a cable comin' in from above We don't need to talk At all we got a thing That's called radar love We got a wave in the air Radar love Radio's playin' some forgotten song Brenda lee's comin' on strong The road has got me hypnotized And I'm spinning into a new sunrise When I get lonely And I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort coming in from above We don't need a letter at All we got a thing that's called radar love We got a line in the air radar Love solo no more speed I'm almost there gotta keep cool now, Gotta take care last car To pass here I go And the line of cars goes down real slow And the radio played some forgotten song Brenda lee's comin' strong And the newsman sang his same song Oh one more radar lover gone When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough she sends her comfort Coming in from above We don't need a letter at all We got a thing that's called radar love We got a line in the sky We got a thing that's called radar love We got a thing that's called radar love"

I had the pleasure of hearing this song first hand when it came out in 1973 from the original group Golden Earring. It was a jamming hit back then and these guys did it justice. Thank you for the upload of this classic song.

As I understand it, Vito Bravva is out of the game and living a quiet life, at home on Staten Island. That's a damn shame, because ROCK AND ROLL deserves his genius to be on display for all to see. Vito was/is a phenom, and there is absolutely nobody he couldn't play for

Strong similarities but I think Vito was a much better lead player than Eddie...For my personal taste. Love the great Eddie Van Halen though and may he rest peacefully.

[@raymondclay5822]

Vito and Eddie are on the same level as players and I am a fan of both of them. But, Vito just sounds better than any does. I don't think either one of them sounds like the other.

@saldifrancesca2500 --- I got to see them at Hammerjacks back in the latter part of the 80s when I was living in MD (in Arnold/Severna Park with my brother and family while I attended night school) ... they put on a fabulous show.

[@coldhardtruth233]

Can't answer that but he's still bad ass guitar to me

[@joshlight6892]

He was an amazing talent. Clearly influenced by Eddie Van Halen, but had a style all his own. But the spotlight just isn't for everyone. I respect that.

[@jcabelair7749]

White Lion's image was soft. That didn't have an image of that hard edge of sex, drug, and rockNroll like bands like Motley Crue did. Vito is super talented guitarist and White Lion's debut album was solid, but in a world filled with hair metal bands at the time they tried to go pretty boy instead of bad boy, a decision that cost the all the bands who made that decision in the long run. They're probably healthier for it, but it killed their staying power

[@creed1977]

It’s rare that a cover song tops an original for me. This is top shelf, outstanding work with no disrespect to meant to Golden Earring. Vito Bratta adds so much soul to the song with his phrasings and of course that solo.

[@kazkylheku1221]

The guitar tops the original, in terms of chops. The vocals, drums and bass, not so much. The original guitar work is very good; tastefully done, moody and fits the song. Just doesn't have the fretboard gymnastics. The original has a different atmosphere. There is more space in it. It has other elements like some brass is heard, tambourine. The best result would have been Bratta jamming with Golden Earring, I think.

[@kwantoon]

@@kazkylheku1221 I think in a lot of ways it comes down to personal taste. The original was a little before my time, so perhaps there is something I can't relate to in terms of how the song was written and performed. I listen to a lot of music, including stuff that far pre-dates the Golden Earing version of Radar Love, but something about their version always seemed very vanilla and boring to me. I grew up in the eighties and I know a lot of stuff was written and produced to excess, there was a ton of cheesy crap that came out during the era of hairbands, however. There was also a lot of real talent during that period of music and I always felt like White Lion was definitely a cut above most, they wrote some really great songs. Their cover of Radar Love is a far more high energy song than the original, in my opinion everything about it is better. Obviously Vito added a ton of feeling that the original lacked, but that drum solo in the original was just weak and that alone was vastly improved upon. Again, it really boils down to a personal preference and everyone is entitled to their opinions.

[@FloridaManMatty]

And that was one of the most criminally underrated comments on KZbin. You are so right. Luckily, in recent years I have noticed a big increase in the number of people (fans and content creators) giving Vito some real love. I still think his solo on “Wait” is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. It was the perfect mix of melodic and insanely technical and still didn’t feel like mindless wanking that was so prevalent in the 80’s.
