      Vito is no doubt a highly gifted guitar player but it was painful to see the guy leaving the arena to help his ailing parents. Although I support his cause wholeheartedly but man! What a loss ! You no longer hear him playing awesome melodious solos and shredding at the same time. Dear Jay ! I will strongly recommend you to listen to White lions’s song “Love Don’t Come Easy”. A mind blowing solo that will move you for sure ! Please try that some other day!

      We're in the same era; I was in the 10th, 11th grade when I first heard of WL. I started playing guitar then and I had to learned this song; it took me a while but I also learned the guitar solo. It's simple yet a bit complicated.There's so much feelings into it than just playing the notes. Vito Bratta, the lead guitar had such brilliant phrasing in his solos. He was so underrated and today still one of my favorite guitar players in my generation.

    White Lion were one of the bands "killed by grunge" in the early 90s, but their fourth and last album, "Mane attraction", released in 1991, is still their masterpiece and one of the greatest albums of the era. Stellar melodic hard rock with more than a hint of Thin Lizzy. White Lion's biggest hits, "Wait" and "When the children cry", can be found on their second album, "Pride" from 1987, that originally flopped but eventually reached double platinum after those songs became belated major hits.
    Fun fact: the band as such is American, but lead singer Mike Tramp is actually Danish and have even relased a solo album in his native Danish (another one's under production.
    Fun fact 2: of all former White Lion members, the one boasting the most glorious career is bassist James LoMenzo. His curriculum vitae is so crazily eclectic that it not only encompasses David Lee Roth and even John Fogerty of CCR fame, but also Megadeth - who he recently rejoined.

    Vocalist Mike Tramp aka Michael Trempenau were originally in Danish pop band Mabel. The won the Danish Song Contest back in 1978 with Boom Boom. They moved to Spain and started playing heavy rock under the name Studs. They released one self titled album in 1981. Later moved to New York and recorded some demos as The Danish Lions in 1982. When the three other members returned to Denmark Mike Tramp decided to stay and formed White Lion with guitarist Vito Bratta. Drummer Greg D'Angelo started out in Anthrax and bass player James LoMenzo are a member of Megadeth these days. Tramp later recorded two albums with a band called Freak Of Nature. I have seen them two times. They were much more heavy and harder than White Lion. These days he doing his own thing under his own name

    I love Vito Bratta's solo in this song. He actually has many great solos. I'm gonna go back and listen to "Wait" by them. I haven't heard it in years. Think I'll check out "Little Fighter" as well. I always loved the riff in that one.

    Amazing song, and so true! Timeless classic!!! Everyone I know loves this song.
    If you want a faster song from them, try their first hit, "Wait." I literally thought it was Bon Jovi when I first heard it. It sounds just like them, right down to the lead vocal.

    Think about this. I was 11 when this song came. Im guessing you guys weren't born. So, he was singing to us.
    Are we changing the world? Yes! I've become spiritual and on the path to teach, and you guys are bringing people together through music by helping everyone to learn more about each other and realize we are not so different. In fact, we are all connected. 🙏

    When this song came out, it was a wake up call to me. I was a young college student and I pledge to myself to try and prevent children crying & try to give them a better life. It was hard when I was diagnosed with MS a year after graduating. I've always been polite and willing to help the problem is we are stuck in a world of mass shootings of our children. We also have children starving all over the world but do we actually try to stop it. In the USA that I've noticed that we've moved into an era where it's more me, me, me. During WWII we were a nation of what can WE do to help others, our nation & others that are hurting. That has greatly changed. I wish we could regain that mentality for everyone. Every needs to chip in to make things better & it would be amazing if the wealthy could open their wallets a bit more, and as a reminder you can't take it with you and you can't buy your way into Heaven.

    I hope you are correct Amber. In my hippie days in the late Sixties, I was certain that the Age of Aquarius was upon us. The Youngbloods sang "Get Together". The end of wars, racism, etc... Then when the Wall and Iron Curtain fell. Scorpions played "Winds of Change" and I thought all was gonna be well again. Now we have a huge war raging in Europe and our young people are dying in the streets here at home every night. I never want to loose optimism, but it'a really hard to hold on to hope. Wage Peace!!!!!

    Hello from northeast Ohio. As a Gen X'er, White Lion was a band I listened to for years in my teens and twenty's. If you liked this, you should hear the concert version they did in 1988 at the ritz club in New York. Type the following words into the UA-cam search field: "White Lion - When the Children Cry - 5/5/1988 - Ritz"

    White Lion was a hard rock band from the 80's that got overlooked... They debuted in 1985 w/ 'Fight to survive' released independently...
    Many of their early fans felt that White Lion being signed by a major label commercialized their sound for the 'Pride' album in 1987... the record sold platinum in the US w/ hits like 'Wait'... 'When the children cry'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
    The classic White Lion was: Mike Tramp (vocals/ guitar), Vito Bratta (lead guitar), James Lomenzo (bass) and Greg D'Angelo (drums)... the next album 'Big game' in 1989 went gold, but did not sell up to expectations... Their final album 'Mane attraction' (1991) was a commercial failure in the wake of 90's grunge rock... Lomenzo and D'Angelo quit the band and were replaced before White Lion broke up.
    Mike Tramp released solo albums, and tried to reactivate White Lion w/ new members... but he got into legal battles w/ former guitarist Vito Bratta over the name 'White Lion' and had to stop using the name... Vito has since retired from music... Mike Tramp still records & tours, playing White Lion songs.
    Other White Lion songs - 'Hungry' ... 'Radar love' (Golden Earring cover)... "Goin' home tonight'... "Lonely nights"... 'Cherokee'... "All you need is rock n roll" 🔥🔥🤘🤘

    Wow. That is Mike Tramp. He is from Denmark, like me. Real name Michael Trampenau. He started out in the danish boy band called Mabel. They where a huge succes in Denmark in the 70’s. In 1978 they competed in the Eurovision song contest with a song called Boom Boom. And after that Mike moved to the US and formed White Lion. White Lion was never very popular here. I guess people could not get used to see him as a heavy rocker. Now he is back in Denmark, where he holds lectures about his career and give small solo concerts. He s a very nice and funny man.

    What I love about this song, and White Lion, in general is by appearances the audience wouldn't take them very seriously for having a message this deep. And as emotionally tough as the lyrics are, I feel like there is still an undercurrent of hope. It mentions that the world will be better, wars will end and there will be peace. It's perfectly your attitude Amber. Every generation has their rebellious element, but I think there are just as many of us dreamers who want peace.
