I'd put Vito in my top 3 of guitar players in his genre. Unbelievable tone. So clean.

I believe the part about the label rep telling Vito, “Do you know what your problem is? You play too good. You need to start playing sloppy, because that’s what kids are into these days.” This was exactly what I felt about the grunge movement. I like Vito’s response with, “You want me to suck?” 😂 They didn’t lie about Vito being too good though. 🎸🤘🏼👍

James Lomenzo is a road dog. He's out with Megadeth currently but has been a touring member of so many bands. Really underrated.

I am continually impressed with the content on this channel. White Lion were unfairly lumped in with many of the "glam metal" trends of the time; the band had far more depth than many of those groups, as you stated. Vito Bratta in particular is a ridiculously talented musician. There was a recent interview in Guitar World where he claims that he had auditioned for both Ozzy Osbourne and Kiss prior to joining White Lion, which isn't surprising.

One of the best Guitarplayers ever.

Great Vlog, it you are missing the inner story of the greatest bassist in to ever play a guitar 🎸. Look up Dave “The Beast” Spitz, he was in White Lion and left to be the bassist in Black Sabbath. Dave’s leaving started the downfall of White Lion. The Beast is an attorney in South Florida now.

Vito was an amazingly talented guitar player. His solos so tasteful and his sound was so crisp and warm.

My son asked me the other day what bands I wish I could see. Skid Row with Sebastian Bach and White Lion with Vito Bratta where my top 2 answers.

So much you don't know. By the way the song is called Little Fighter. Not War Fighter.

So sad. VITO is awesome. As a guitar player VITO is greatly missed

I saw them open for someone...maybe Lynch Mob or Don Dokken's solo act. There was a hottie right up against the fence in front of stage. She apparently had a thing for the singer, 'cause when White Lion took the stage, she pull her panties off right out from her mini skirt and threw it at him. He panties actually hit the singer square in the chest, but he acted like he didn't notice and they started their first song. I was 18 years old. I can remember that scene like it was yesterday.

Vito has set himself up perfectly to essentially print himself money if he ever wanted to start playing guitar again in public. This man cannot play a bad sounding note on the guitar if he tried.

WL could make a ton of money if they’d reunite. Bratta is a legend among guitarists.

Vito Bratta lived around the Block from My girlfriend's house on Staten Island it was his childhood home. His little brother would come over all the time

I loved them so much in high school. Still love much of their music, especially "Wait" and "Lights and Thunder."

I had a poster of Vito on my wall when I was a kid growing up in Mangalore, India where access to good music in the 80's was heavily relied on people returning from abroad and old copies of guitar world magazine that made rounds from house to house . miss those days and seriously miss Vito's flawless guitar work.

Couple good albums. I liked em. They could play!

White Lion are amazing. 😀👍🦁🎸🤘

Fav band ! Edit: the song about the sinking of the green peace boat is "Little fighter" not "warfighter", great video as always !

Wait and when the children cry are my favorite song from white lion
