White Lion

Good band!!! As mentioned, Vito is AWESOME, "Wait" has one of the BEST solos ever put down in a pop metal album!!!!

There is a cool 2 disc set of demos called Anthology 83-89. I really like these rough working versions over the more polished ones on the albums.

Best hair metal band that starts with W.

I love White Lion. Everything they did was gold. But I think my favorite is Mane Attraction. Vito Bratta is such an underrated guitar player.

I'm in agreement with Kmorg on this one.

Every album was fantastic! Well, with the exception of their latest one, "Return of the Pride". And it's not bad mind you, but it doesn't hold a candle to their 80s/90s stuff.

"Pride" is easily their crowning achievement, but "Big Game" and "Mane Attraction" are awesome as well.

I like "Lady Of The Valley" and "Tell Me"

Long time ago I went to see AC/DC in concert for "Fly On The Wall",
had no idea who the opening act was until they were introduced....

Attention...Hollywood, Fla rockers....please welcome WHITE LION!!!!!

what an awesome concert that was.

White Lion are a great band and it all starts with Vitto. As mentioned the man is amazing on guitar and he is worth the admission alone IMO. They write some good songs but IMO its the ballads that got this band to be where they were.

Fav songs is def You're All I Need

I love this band ,great songs
Portugal metal warriors

Vito Bratta is a fantastic axe-man - no doubt about it, but Mike Tramp also had a very unique and distinguished voice. He was really the one who set White Lion apart from the masses of hair metal bands.

I actually wanted this played in my wedding, along with "Till Death Do Us Part".

Then you realized the wedding had nothing to do with you. You just had to attend.

I'd rank my favorite White Lion albums like this:

1. Pride 9.5/10
2. Big Game 9/10
3. Mane Attraction 9/10
4. Fight to Survive 8/10
5. Return of the Pride 7.5/10


Favorite White Lion songs:

1. Tell Me
2. Wait
3. Lady of the Valley
4. When the Children Cry
5. Don't Give Up
6. Lonely Nights
7. Little Fighter
8. You're All I Need
9. Til Death Due Us Part
10. Broken Heart
11. Love Don't Come Easy
12. Out with the Boys



Dam, that would make a killer compilation album!!!

Yea, I like Broken Heart, and Farewell To You is a favorite of mine as well. Great album ending song, which turned out to be the last song for the original four.....

No Vito=no White Lion, IMO.

IIRC in a thread a long time ago Shawn disagreed with me when I said that.

He's entitled to his opinions, as are we all.

I remember their song 'Wait' and I hated it.... Great guitar player but for the most part...




I don't like...

Have you heard the new White Lion album? It's actually not half bad.

Their new guitarist, Jamie Law is actually pretty decent!

He's no Vito though.

Is "Mike Tramp's White Lion" looking for a bassist? I hear James Lomenzo has suddenly become available.

Wow. That's harsh. The corpse is still warm, man.










Wish I'd thought of it.

While I'm not the biggest fan, I gotta agree with the opinion that it's not White Lion without Vito. The guy brought something extra to the table with that band.

Vito Bratta had such great guitar tones - a very underrated guitarist. White Lion was one of my favorite bands growing up. Rating the albums:

1) Big Game
2) Pride
3) Mane Attraction
4) Fight to Survive

They are all good albums. Wish I had seen them live back in the day...oh well.

White Lion is not White Lion w/out Vito - period.

Something like that.

No, we ended up with no music at all for the actualy wedding, and the "party" was held at a place with live dancing music.
