You are literally 100% incorrect. Literally. Vito took Eddie's tapping technique and made his own which was much more melodic. Literally, every guitar player from the 80s was influenced influenced by EVH...literally!@@BAND-MAID-USA
@@BAND-MAID-USAI’m a fan of Eddie and a guitar player for 48 years and Vito did employ a lot of eddies techniques but didn’t rip him off. Eddie was nowhere near as melodic as Vito.
@@sureimhappy I’ve been playing professionally for 33 years and have taught guitar for 30 years. He stole 90% of his style from Eddie. And did you really just say Eddie wasn’t as melodic? Hahahaha. That’s absolutely INSANE. Eddie was more melodic than any rock player in earths history. I’m think you don’t understand the word.
He plays just as well live as he does in the studio. His technique is flawless. Vito is a master. Wish he would come out of retirement for a couple of shows.
That recent Guitar World magazine interview says that he relearned all the solos from his White Lion days. Wonder what he plans to do? Maybe wow the world again with his fretboard awesomeness????? Hope so!!!!!
OF all the great guitar players / composers of this era VITO stands heads and shoulders above all the rest. This guys phrasing, solos, feel, technique , flash , style was ALL HIS OWN.... Ive never heard anyone play like him since.
That's what I loved about Bratta, a style all his own AND OWNED THAT SHIT ! It's a shame the band split I wish they were still together. I 1st saw their 1st album fight to survive in a record store. The album cover caught my attention. The Logo with the White Lion on, caught a video. One song stood out for me, not "your typical" tune to hit the charts. But Valhalla ! Between Mike's vocals with Bratta letting his fingers do all the talking ... all I gotta say is ❤HOLY FUCK ! LOFL : Laughing O... F'n L O U D
I've heard so many reasons why he quit. But the most consistent story I've heard is that he damaged his wrist and just physically can't play like he used to
Maybe the best ever. Definitely the best of both worlds. I remember looking at the tab back in the day wondering how in the f@&k am I going to play this lol
when i was in junior high school (around 1993-1995) my friends laughing at me when i said my favorite guitarist is Vito Bratta, because those days people falling in love with Slash, and until now i never regret it, Vito is different, genius. Thank you for all of your videos, it's very hard to find Vito even in internet
Vito didn't just do it in studio he did it live all the fills and just flawlessly executed I still stop whatever I'm doing anytime I hear his playing truly on another level from all the other players of the 80s he was elite 🤘
Mine too😊..and I guess we all have listened very much to Vai, Satriani, yngwie, Halen, Gilbert, Becker/Friedman..etc... And even though he is our favourite one....!
I saw an interview where Vito talked about , before getting signed, playing club gigs and then going home at 2am and practicing guitar for 3 more hours before going to bed.
Vito’s solos were so technically difficult yet so damn melodic and memorable. Probably over all the best guitarist of his time. And he just laid his guitar down a quit.
I had the chance to see White Lion when they opened for AC/DC in Knoxville, TN 1988. I always judge bands and guitarists by how they perform live, and Vito Bratta along with the rest of the band were killer. I'd put Vito in my top 5 guitarist with no problem.
Whatever the issue was, time to make amends & get the guys back together ! It may not be the 80's but hell, I say give it a try man ! What do you or any of the guys have to lose? Absolutely nothing nada not a damn thing !
Thank you so much for sharing this! Vito and the boys live!!! Little Fighter!!! Wow! God I miss Vito so much! His incredible talent and virtuosity has been missed for far too long!
I was at this gig at the age of 23, finally I get to say that about a clip. I can`t remember the support band? I remember Vito`s usual white strat I had forgotten about a Steinberger? there was an acoustic at some point. Vito was playing through an ADA MP1 at this time as I had bought one my first rackmount rig. I remember Radar Love Being a belter and everyone erupted when Wait started up. They did rock"n"roll which had some hot guitar playing improvised not same as the record if I remember it right? In the eighties I was in a hair rock band and after Eddie and Vai, Vito, Lynch, Jake E Lee, Vernon Reid, Derek Frigo and the guitarist in TNT had my attention. thank you for the memory trigger. yeah. A different time, no internet mobile phones the size of a fridge rare as rocking horses shot all Vinyl and cassetttes. whats this new MTV thing any one got it or seen it? So whats the deal with these Compact disc things?
*Thank you for uploading this! EDDIE VANHALLEN had Vitos Career ended and buried this band, in the mid 90's, when they were on Tour with VanHalen. Eddie felt hella threatened, so he got gangster*
Vito is the greatest EVH disciple of all time. There a lot's of solos that I prefer listening to from Vito, just because of his signature sound. There where only a few guitar players that had magic hands...
I don't understand how this band didn't get bigger. I don't understand how they decided to break up or how vito bratta, a man of such extraordinary talent, could just walk away from music....
Le meilleur groupe de l'époque, un guitariste exceptionnel, un chanteur exceptionnel, leurs albums sont toujours dans mon top 10 depuis toutes ces années, merci à eux, vous nous manquez tellement ❤
As a kid in the 80s and an aspiring guitarist, I remember how floored I was when I heard Wait on MTV. His playing was so unique. I remember reading an interview with him in a guitar mag and he talked about writing songs and guitar parts. He wanted his riffs and solos to be extensions of the song. Would love to meet him some day. Would love to hear new music from him. Rock on Vito! \m/
Seen Vito for the 1st time this Tour and was a Randy Rhoads Finatic as he was my very 1st concert in February 1982 Cincinnati Coliseum at 13 yrs old and Vito pleasantly Impressed me with his Live Wizardry playing 😂
Vito bratta is one of the best guiterist ever and will always
👍🎸
Joe is first.
Vito incorporated his own style along with EVHS which is amazing. VB is extremely underrated and easily, one of the best guitarists ever.
👍🎸🙏
He was definitely a great player and played some great songs but. Literally everything he did was a 100% ripoff of Eddie. Literally everything.

Yep. Best rock guitarist of the mid 80's -early 90's
how about Eric Johnson?
Vito is the only REASON I listened to White Lion and still do. It's all about the BRATTA!!!
👍🎸
Yeah. Tramp had a great voice too though. Their lyrics were usually pretty weak though.
It's the biggest shame in the world that Vito chose to stop performing 😢. He's such a unique talent!
Yes I agree. Vito stopped performing to take care of his family and Vito's dad was ill.
Can’t fault him for family and taking care of his dad.
I've heard so many reasons why he quit. But the most consistent story I've heard is that he damaged his wrist and just physically can't play like he used to
30 years and a white lion fans are still waiting...for one of the greatest guitarists to ever do it.
👍🎸
Personally I'm waiting for the reunion 😁
I heard VB hurt his hands and can't play any longer..😢
@@Marlisio5150 i heard it was the wrist which supposedly he can play without discomfort.
@@safelyanonymous5717 I stand corrected. I hope a reunion is forthcoming. Fingers crossed 🤞
I'd pay anything to watch this show live....
You can watch the whole show on my video playlist. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/_angeGzIY_Y/v-deo.html
I have no words to express how great Vito was... the best guitarrist in his time...
😊😊👍👍🎸🎸🙏🙏
Maybe the best ever. Definitely the best of both worlds. I remember looking at the tab back in the day wondering how in the f@&k am I going to play this lol

VITO! Damn..so efforetless... amazing. Most underrated guitarist of the 80s

So true!👍👍🎸🎸🙏🙏
Vito Bratta usually only needed 1 take when recording. =Didn't make many mistakes.
@@jonmccormick8683 👍👍
Vito is my favorite guitar player in a band.
Mine too. 👍🙏
I second that 🤘
Mine too😊..and I guess we all have listened very much to Vai, Satriani, yngwie, Halen, Gilbert, Becker/Friedman..etc...
And even though he is our favourite one....!
What I would give to go back to the 80's & 90's....
😍👍
I saw an interview where Vito talked about , before getting signed, playing club gigs and then going home at 2am and practicing guitar for 3 more hours before going to bed.
He’s right up their in my books along with EVH! RIP Eddie. Two world class musicians.
👍🎸
Vito was more melodic than EVH!
@@ingjn does it really matter when you talking about two world class virtuosos! I think not.
👍👍🎸🎸@@ingjn
A True Rocker is never underrated by the True Fans.🤘🤘🎸🎶🙋♀💜😸
Thanks, Catarina!👍👍🙏🙏
Vito’s solos were so technically difficult yet so damn melodic and memorable. Probably over all the best guitarist of his time. And he just laid his guitar down a quit.
OMG..I was there 5th June 91 ..rock city ... Brilliant band

I don't understand how this band didn't get bigger. I don't understand how they decided to break up or how vito bratta, a man of such extraordinary talent, could just walk away from music....
White Lion's music label abandoned them in 1991. Vito's dad fell ill, Vito went back home to take care of his dad and family.
I love VB for his guitar skills, plays, n music arrangements.. miss him a lot.. thks for the channel
Enjoy! 👍🎸👌
Thank you for great videos!
