Each album is basically a chapter of this ongoing saga, following the same character, and it could have a sticker down in the corner of the record, saying more of the same just a little bit different. I came from a little different background. I was raised and grew up in a European country that was at the frontiers of information for people in the country. Mike Tramp will personally sign all pre-orders. Tracklisting: All Of My Life The Road Anymore Come On Between Good And Bad Lay Down Your Guns Highway No Tomorrow Back To You When She Cries.
I think I should convince Vito and play together with White Lion. Greetings to the greats of Vito Bratta and Mike Tramp. Your owe it to the fans! As a guitar player who was inspired to learn guitar by Vito and am still amazed 30 years later about his plating, I was unfortunately too young to see him. Location: Asbury Park. From what I understand Vito isn't much of a Mike Tramp fan any longer.
Saint Johnny , May 15, Location: ICT, Kansas. Primarily because his solo work was above average Springsteen-ish roots-rock. A friend tipped me off to his albums, and I was amazed at how good they were. White Lion was a great rock band.
I miss the 80's JA Fant , May 15, Location: San Lorenzo, CA. I had always heard about Vito Bratta being an excellent guitarists, but as I said, was never really familiar with his material. Vito Bratta IS an excellent guitarist! He could shred, but wrote catchy hooks and played pretty tasteful and intricate stuff.
As for the band, the material is pretty competent, and I tire a little of Mike Tramp's sometimes whiny voice, but Vito's playing is always stellar. I'm glad to have picked up those CDs. The Rush Fan , Aug 21, Applehead and ian christopher like this. Saint Johnny , Aug 22, Purple and ian christopher like this.
Location: USA. Great player, but so were many in the 80s. Holy Diver , Aug 22, The below was from another interview that Mike Tramp gave on why White Lion ended on the famous interview website. Unfortunately, most people wanted to be rock stars, instead of trying to build a longevity. That includes the manager and the record co. Nobody, after the first record succeeded, really was concerned about what the band was doing and where the band was heading.
The concern was really how quickly can we get the next record out and how can we get on the next tour. As things like that happen, you start to get the negative things. The second record does not have the same numbers, as the first. By the time you get to the third album, the band is not the same band that started out in the basement of Brooklyn, New York. We live in four different places. I live in California. Vito lives in Staten Island.
And the other guys are scattered somewhere else. When we try to catch up on the third and final record, it becomes a rescue mission, instead of a true and honest record from a band. The record co. I think has basically let go of the band, because they have signed the next two follow-up bands, to White Lion.
Mike Tramp would not be able to make the decision and write the lyrics in when everything was girls backstage between every show, big tour buses and big arenas. You get into what I call my own little war room, where you create, and bring out your true feelings. I believe Vito wanted to come back with a new band. Other interviews I had heard, showed Vito being not too happy about the music business and how they the people around them where exploiting White Lion to make millions, while the band would make less than what their accountants made.
Any chance of coming back took a back seat, as he became a carer for his parents. With age, comes a different mindset. Priorities are different. I know a lot of people out there liked the grunge music but, it was the death of the best music ever…now it is making a comeback but, with the internet things are a lot different. I seen Mike Tramp a few months ago and even though he is great on his own I would have loved to have been able to have seen him with White Lion.
In the midst of all of this, family stuff was happening and everything else. So I had excuses for myself coming left and right. I just don't think it can happen today. But I'm not gonna shut the door. And Mike Tramp knows that.
And what I keep appealing to Mike is 'Stop shutting the door in my face. Bratta 's style earned him worldwide acclaim, as well as numerous awards, including Guitar World magazine's "Best New Guitarist" in Despite his cult status and guitar-based following, Bratta has not been involved in the music industry in any capacity since He is currently residing in his childhood house in Staten Island where he lives a modest life trying to keep himself out of the spotlight.
