492.0. "White Lion" by KROKUS::GREID () Mon Feb 27 1989 09:18

     Anyone out there like the Def Leppard/Bon Jovi style
    music of White Lion. Apart from having a few of their 
    videos on tape and haviong just bought 'Pride' i know
    very little about them. 
    
     I immediately liked the album and have suspicions that
    this may not be their only release.?! I take it that
    apart from Mike Tramp, the others are of italian decent?!

492.1KBOMFG::SCHLOSSBAUERMon Feb 27 1989 09:337
    I was at Saturday on a party (you know, Jochen?).
    When they played some Ballads, I heard a song
    from White Lion. I think it was "When the children cry".
    It's a great song, with a good lyric. 
    Is it form 'Pride'?

    "Pride" is a good album if you're in a non-metallic mood.  Vito
    Brata to me is one of the hottest guitar players around.  "When
    The Children Cry" is from "Pride" by the way ...

    I like Pride.  I have not heard White Lion's first lp yet (I even
    forget what its called!)
    
    I wouldn't say they were like Def Lep or Bon Jovi really, more like
    a Van Halen off the 1984 album type sound.

                I don't  really like pride, but their first album
                is great!   It's  unbelievable  though.  I've had
                this thing for about  3  years, and I'll throw it
                in,  and people will say,  "Who's  this?    White
                Lion?  Is that a new album?"
                
                BTW, it's called Fight to Survive.

    Yep,
    
    White Lion is a good Hard-Rock band (you are right Hermann, "when
    the cildren cry" is one of there best songs). I've two LP's from White
    Lion: Pride and the older one (I don't remember the name, but I think
    the name was also White Lion). Do they have any other LP's ?

    like that track you'll like the rest of the album. The album is

    I like the song "Wait", and White Lions music in general.  They
    have a good sound for a pop-rock band.  I've been intending to pick
    up a copy of Pride, but still haven't gotten around to it.

492.22Drummer's Cool!RAVEN1::B_ADAMSB.A.Mon Jun 19 1989 23:2315
      Just "happened" to run into the drummer of White Lion last Sat.
    night! He was at a bar here in Greenville, S.C. The band was in
    town to open up for the OZ!
         I recognized him from the Pride album! He was a real cool dude!
      He didn't act stuck-up or too good for us low-lifes! We talked
    for about 15 minutes, then seems some other people recognized him.
          He left with some real beauties!!!  Anyway! Most impressed
    with his attitude!  May have to pick up the new album!
    
         As far as the concert went, some friends told me the sound
    wasn't that good! But overall were O.K.!

492.23beware of "Radar Love"...HAZEL::STARRKids flash guitars just like switchbladesMon Jul 31 1989 18:4711
I just picked up the 'Pride' CD over the weekend (OK, so I'm a little behind 
the times here...). On first listen, it was pretty good. Some interesting 
stuff, and some decent hooks. Nuthin' to die for, but decent.

On the other hand....

I heard their version of "Radar Love" the other day - boy, does it S*CK! The 
drummer for this band should be *shot* for what he does to this song! What a 
waste of recording time and vinyl......

492.27Mix it upFRA04::JKANNEMACHERThe warrior is back again !Tue Aug 01 1989 12:108
    I think the best "Radar Love" version would be a mix with the better
    parts of both W.L. and Golden Earring. The original drum part is
    far better, but the cover version has better guitars - but sadly
    the bass isn't loud enough.
    
    BTW, on which LP is "When The Children Cry" ???

         I was very prejudiced against White Lion until I saw them when
    they opened up for Ozzy.  I was surprised!  These guys can rock when
    they want to!  I don't understand why they don't let it come out on
    their albums.  Whenever I hear "Little Fighter", I give it a bit more
    respect.

    Yep, I thought that too.  Looks like White Lion have found the infamous
    "hit song formula".  D*mn shame too, 'cause they have some talented
    folks there that could write some really good pop rock tunes.
    
    I do like the little intro riff that Vito plays on that one.  Cool
    guitar sound.
    
    I haven't heard the entire album yet, so I'll reserve judgement on the
    rest until I do.  I plan on getting it soon, as I liked "Pride" quite a
    lot.

    OK, I listened to "Radar Love" this weekend .... I gotta admit,
    it gets butchered pretty bad.  I think it's the guitar style more
    than the drums that screw it up.  That's the danger in doing a cover,
    you never know how much of your own style to add to it ... Vito

    White Lion a HM band???  Don't make me laugh, they're a pop-rock
    (kinda) band.  I can appreciate them for that, but I wouldn't call 'em
    metal.  In light of this, the album names are probably ok, since their
    target audience is pretty much 14 year old white females.

    has a bum copy?!

     Yes....I have nocited the screw up at the end. 
    But I blew it off as just our T.V. or a power shortage, then it 
    happened again the next time.......weird!!?  
    DO you think it was production problems or what?

    That pitch shift must be in their master recording.  The video does the
    same thing.  I thought my VCR was messing up when I first heard it!!
    His voice changes pitch as well as the guitar.  Sounds like it happend
    after it was mixed.

    He's like a total EVH clone and all his stuff sounds alike.  I like
    some of it, but I can't listen to more then a few songs before getting
    tired of the repetation.

    EVH Clone ? No way matey!!! He does stuff with tapping that VH has 
    never dreamt of!
    
    I think Vito is exellent, White Lion, as a band though, are just *ok*.
    I'd like to see a solo effort from Vito!
492.83RAVEN1::JERRYWHITEHere's a quarter ...Tue Jul 30 1991 10:455
    Vito took tapping to a new level .... he's a very soulful player (IMO).
    Strange how anyone who taps is a EVH clone ... I guess anyone who has a
    wart is a Lemmy clone, right ?
    
    Scary
492.84NEWOA::DALLISONTough talking youth naiveteTue Jul 30 1991 10:507
    
    I agree, Scary,
    
    Vito may not be a real shredder, but I love the melodies and the 'why
    bother to play fast if it doesn't fit' attitude.
    
    -Tony (who knows Vito can shred, but prefers the melodic stuff).
492.85Woah, listen to what I said...GOES11::G_HOUSEI wanna be sedated!Tue Jul 30 1991 14:3418
    You guys are selling me short here, it's not just "anyone that does
    tapping is an EVH clone", at least as far as my thinking goes.  It's
    more like "anyone that plays EVH'isms is an EVH clone".  I could site
    you tons of examples of people that tap and sound nothing like VH, like
    Reb Beach, Joe Satriani, Brad Gillis, Steve Vai, Jennifer Batten...
    
    On the other hand, I hear tons of EVH in a lot of Vito's playing.  You
    know like taking that same lick and moving it around the fretboard real
    fast (so part of 'em are out of key sorta) and the way he *uses* his
    tapping.
    
    Didn't say I didn't like it.  Yeah, he probably does it better then VH
    himself (especially lately), so what?  The really funny thing is that I
    like Vito and Eddies playing for the same things, their cool rhythm
    work, which is very different.  I like Vitos melodic leads better then
    his VH style leads.

    gh does have a point.  I mena, White Lion started OFF as a VH clone
    band.  Vito is quick to cite EVH as his main influence!  In fact,
    the reason Vito had Mike Tram pjoin the band in the first place was
    becasue he looked so much like DLR!
    
    So, next time you say Vito doesn't intentionally rip of VH...
492.87NEWOA::DALLISONTough talking youth naiveteWed Jul 31 1991 05:176
    
    
    I dunno, I guess it must be my ears but I hear more VH in someone like
    Reb Beach than Vito Bratta.

    Well, I got the official news on White Lion last night from Pitrelli.
    They are KAPUT!
    
    The Channel show in Boston is one of their last shows...so if you wanna
    see them, go!  They are being dropped from their label, and with two
    members recently leaving for better things, Mike and Vito have decided 
    to call it quits.
    
    Funny how theycan go from the mega-popular PRIDE album 4 years ago to
    this.

492.92White Lion at Deringers?ALLVAX::BRUSSEAUTue Sep 17 1991 16:489

	I'm on the mailing list for a band called Wiched Witch.  According
to them, they are playing with White Lion at Deringers some time in September
(not sure of the exact date or how many other bands are playing).  This 
mailing went out at the end of Aug. so this may have changed.
