white lion

[BLUELOU]

i was in the shop today re capping my bassman amp head and i was bored so i popped in this OLD white lion cd

man i heard that song WAIT nice arrangement

THE SONG IS IN THE KEY OF A
ITS REALLY NICE LITTLE 2 NOTED PARTIAL CHORDS ALL A CHORD ARTICULATIONS AND SIMPLE CHORD PHRASES THAT MODULATE DOWNWARD TO KEY OF G AND F#M BUT GREAT ARRANGEMENT I REALLY LIKED THE 80'S
I SEEN WHITE LION AT LAMOURS IN NY THEY SMOKED

vito bratta had such a very vanhalenesque tone and style
BACK THEN HE SOUNDED VERY MUCH LIKE VAN HALEN

i wonder what ever happened to them
THEY STILL AROUND ?

]NOW I AM SHOWING MY AGE I FEEL LIKE A OLD FART

lou you kick ass man! you been getting my e-mails?

i don't know if they are still around, but i had quiet riot at my club about four months back. it was a fun show. i hear 80's music ever weekend, the party bands that i mix on saturdays always play a couple. gotta admit, hate to do so, but i know the words to all the bon jovi songs. i think sometimes i know too much 80's music, but when you don't want to talk to anyone, singin some sure does clear the room real fast. and like i said, 80's music is my guilty pleasure, well that and the beegees.


BRING ON THE FLAMES!

[Superfly]

that was the first real tune i learned on the electric.


Wait was a really good song but i never could stand that whiney little bitch singer....

[BLUELOU]

I JUST THINK THEM SONGS HAD FEELING UNLIKE TODAYS COMPUTER GENERATED TONES
VITTO BRATTA WAS USED TO BE SO KOOL DOWN TO EARTH

VITTO BRATTA LIVED NOT TO FAR FROM ME IN THE LATE 70'S -80'S SO I MET HIM A BUNCH OF TIMES HE WAS KOOL ALWAYS INTO TAP ONS
VIYYO HAD A VERY VAN HALEN TONE IT WAS KOOL FOR HIM BACK THEN .


I WAS A UNIQUE BLUESY JAZZY CHORDED FREAK WITH TONS OF RIFFS AT MY FINGER TIPS I DIDNT NEED TO COPY VAN HALEN
WHEN OUR BANDS PLAYED LOCAL GIGS BACK TO BACK IN NYC AREA IT WAS FUNNY
VITO /HIS SOMETIMES/HELP FUL ROADIES WOULD LUG 2 ROLAND JC120'S HE USED FOR HIS CLEAN CHANNEL AND TWO MARSHALL FULL OR HALF STACK AMPLIFIERS FOR HIS DIRTY TONE ALA VAN HALEN
BUT THE ROLAND JC 120'S WERE HEAVY AMPS ALONE

IN THE PAST ON OUR GIGS WE PLAYED BACK TO BACK AT LAMOURS AT SUNDANCE AT SHIT HOLES
HE WAS ANMAZING HE REALLY LOVED ELTON JOHN RECORDS

HE KNEW VAN HALEN TONE /STYLE LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND NO JOKING
I TOLD HIM AT LEAST 7 TIMES HE SOUNDED TOO MUCH STYLISTACLLY LIKE EDDIE VAN HALEN BUT HEY THEY REALLY ONLY LASTED 2 ALBUMS AS I KNO OF

I JUST THINK HE IS SO TALENTED ON GUITAR BUT I DONT KNO WHAT HE / THEY WHITE LION ARE UP TO ANYMORE


HE ROCKS VERY MELODIC ON HIS CHOICE OF NOTES BUT THE TAP ONS ANS AMP TONE THE BROWN SOUND ARE VERY EDDIE VANHALENISH
TO ME

IAINT KNOCKING HIM I LOVED THE BAND I KNEW BUT AS THEY HIT IT BIG TIME ALL THEIR EGO'S WENT TO THEIR HEADS

I WONDER IF THEY STILL EXIST

THEM FABULOUS 80'S EARLY 90'S
I LOVED IT
I WISHED IT NEVER CHANGED
BUT IT'LL COME AROUND TO A FULL CIRCLE AGAIN SOMEDAY

I AINT HEARD FROM VITO IN A LONG TIME
BUT HE ROCKED ON GUITAR HE UNDERSTTOD CHORD SUBSTITUTIONS AND HE LOVE TRILLS ON SOLOS ALONG WITH TAP ONS ETC

I GOTTA SAYY HI SOMEDAY
TO VITTO

SINCERELY
LOU

[Trem-O-Loaded]

White Lion were limp dick mass produced 1980's drivel.THEY SUCKED AND THEY ARE GONE.

[BLUELOU]

HEY WHITE LION PUT ON A GREAT SHOW OK THE SINGER WAS NOT THE MOST IN KEY
VITTO BRATTA DID HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF MELODY BRO
HE REALLY UNDERSTANDS CHORD SUBSTITUIONS AND STRUCTURE
HE IS A VERY MELODIC WRITER HIS MUSIC GUITAR STYLE WAS NOT FAKE HE REALLY WAS VERY TALENTED I SEEN HIM A FEW TIMES LIVE HE SMOKED HE LIKES TRILLS OK THE VAN HALENESQUE TAP ONS ARE VAN HALENISH BUT HE DID THEM WITH MELODY IN A STRUCTURE THAT WAS HIS AND IS HIS OWN STYLE MELODICALLY WHITE LION AINT AROUND ANYMORE AS A BAND BUT VITTO KICKS BUTT ON GUITAR I DO THINK AFTER THA LAST ALBUM THE GUITAR PROCESSING WAS TOO MUCH I ADMIT MONEY DOES STUPID THINGS
BUT HE IS A VERY TALENTED GUITARIST WITH ALOT OF TASTY DEXTERIOUS LEAD LINES IN NICE HARMONIC SEQUENCES FOR 80'S ROCK MUSIC

THA BROOKLYN BOY CAN PLAY
HE IS TALENTED AND UNDERESTIMATED
I DIDNT LIKE THE STEINBERGER GUITAR SWITCH IT SOUNDED THINNER I KNOW BUT MONEY IS WICKED
ITS IN THE PAST
I MISS THE 70'S 80'S IM SIMPLE THEY WERE MUCH FUNNER TIMES IN THE CLUBS BACK THEN
