White Lion - Hungry - Bang Your Head Fest 2005 (Germany)

[CologneRob]

Hungy was smashing me to the wall because of it`s power back in the 80s

but this here sounds poor. without vito white lion is a pussycat. the singing may sounds much better with a harmonizer, like they used it by recording the LP. Why he don`t use it live in this song?

[PatrickDiAngelo]

Of course i'm speaking about the original version of the song, not this live...

[PatrickDiAngelo]

By far their best song, i don't know why it has been so underrated...I mean "Wait", "Little fighter", "Broken Heart", they're not even close to hungry, but the most people know these and haven't heard of "Hungry", so strange...Well, maybe that's just me, don't know....

[ToxicTwinable]

pls stop this "vito is the best ...." thing cause yeah he is killer but now there is another guy playing for white lion and he is also very cool! so if you don t like it....the internet is massive, search versions with vito! and enjoy the pure music with vito or without!thx a lot! :)

[FallenPrey33]

The guitar tone is weak.

[HondaMang187]

oh :)

[HondaMang187]

@HondaMang187

[TigertailzBezerk]

For me.... It's not the fact his voice is lower that sucks, It's that he sings monotone with no melody now. As for the guitarist - i've heard better from kids on youtube doing WL covers. But this line up is pretty solid to say the least. Pretty good

[Zyrtez]

@TigertailzBezerk I know....I wish Mike would sing with an ounce on enthusiasm. Saw him in Houston 7 years ago...and he still sang like he could care less to be putting on a show. He doesn't even have to sing high notes!

[eddogar]

Jamie Law plays very good but the original is Vitto Bratta, so...

Thanks to diegoalce1991.

[MrBudfox]

Man, what a bunch of little shit teenagers that don't know shit!.... Mike is sounding and looking great, he's probably your fathers age (if you even know who your father is) and your dad is a fat piece of shit selling shoe's.... Following Vito is like trying to replace Eddie, A legend is just that.... This dude is doing great. I sure would pay to see these guys rock. These guys live what you pecker heads can only dream you could do......

[JoeRnCT]

What really sucks is, I'll tell kids who play guitar to check out White Lion and they'll find this crap on YouTube and think "Man they suck, why does that guy like them so much?"

[SandersDavid87]

I'd be pissed if i saw them live and they sounded this bad.

[carnalite117]

Tell me or Don't give up would have been great but no i guess.

[wolverine6511]

Is it me or Mike Tramp looks like Jefferson Darcy (Ted McGinley of Married W/Children) long hair version?

[armany1975]

they must be called "Without lion"

[Nicanor1250]

arrechoooooooooooooooooooo

[AnarchoNationalist]

LOL!!! 0.07 dude playing fake guitar...so funny.

[nocarmar]

@AnarchoNationalist Nice catch. Hilarious, really.

[TheHockeyfreak1964]

this new guitar player is good but come on VITO get your lazy ass out of your Pizza store.rock on again show tramp that you still can do it

[gatotesla]

mike tramp suck the best my master vito bratta

[mattydog108]

Rumour has it vito owns a pizza joint in new york ???

[VHDT10]

I know this new guitarist has some gigantic shoes to fill, but come on. The intro???

[burakcanBc]

thy r nothing without bratta ..

[Bluesbarri]

no disrespect to the guitar player, but boy you got some BIG BOOTS to fill !

[MetalproF1]

White Lion without Vito Bratta is NOTHING!

[fretworx]

Whew... all I can say is, Vito Bratta is the difference between 'random hair band', and amazing world-class rock phenomenon.

[WeNoSpeak96]

Where's Vito? Who the fuck is this guy? He sucks, he's nowhere close to Vito. This new band is NOT White Lion. >:(

[dakingdml]

last i heard , vito is living in New York with his elderly mother in the house that he grew up in. I hope gets back in the studio or on the road again. i was always a fan of his.

[TheYukishun]

where is vito?

[johnwhite71]

great energy from the guitarist, as well as Mike of course...the bass player looked baked. impressive, but he is still no where close to Vito. not that he wants to be, nor should be. However, i had seen Vito back in the day, and he blew my fucking mind with the most kick ass version of star spangled banner ever heard. He ripped it the fuck up, and i recall it was his birthday. he is sincerely missed. and from what i have heard, not happy about the Tramp project. Though, i am glad to see Mike.

[hxcmexi]

Would of been great if Vitto was there playing. This dude does ok. But seriously the HEART of this band was all Vitto B.

[abd012474]

He just can't hit the same notes he used to be able to. He's singing the song at least an octave or two lower. As human vocal chords age, they just can't stretch out high-pitched notes the way they used to. None of the 80's guys can sing their old songs the way they used to.

[MMAcagewarrior]

@abd012474 .I love white Lion but sorry to say he could never sing in the first place. go check out the vid for the live version in Japan from the 80's. Thats even worse. Vito was white Lion. Tramp was just a chick puller who talks thru songs cause he cant sing.

[evanbuck101]

@abd012474 really? AN OCTAVE. you're an idiot

[motleycrue24]

@evanbuck101 wow he made a typo bro big deal grow up and make some friends

[SireNahvas]

@evanbuck101 LOL yes he/she is

[TheSpandex69]

Not a fan of this guitarist.

[hide1124]

元のホワイトライオンも大好きだけど、

相変わらずトランプ氏は歌が下手だな。（いや昔より悪くなってる­ね）

ルート音でしか歌わないから殆どお経状態だもんな・・・・

１オクターブしか使わないボーカルなんて滅多にいない

Vitoがこんなボーカルの下に戻るわけも無いｗ

[jpunch]

Put some effort into mike fucknA

[archie3321]

you ruined your own song mike..

[RockU2Death5150]

I respect that, though the guitarist didn't do every single Vito riff, he still played the hell out of the song. Mike's actually got a killer backing band in this incarnation of White Lion. Trust me, I've heard MUCH worse.

[Rastario74]

My God Mike ... You do not need leather pants and long hair to look like a singer ...

[shawn7shawn]

This one sucks too!!

youtube.com/watch?v=UBor7K3j2E­g

(copy and paste link) Mike sings it in much the same, lame way...

BTW - LOVE White Lion!!!! We all have our 'off' days I guess.

[onetaothree]

WOW Mike Tramp just doesn't give a FUCK anymore does he!?!?!?

[dekar62095]

imagine a band. butchering their own song. come back vito :{

[moctobre]

Mike's vocal sucks ! Who's the guitarist ? He sucks too. I miss Vito ~

[tigetbunny82]

@moctobre I'd have to agree with ya man....Vito is in my Top 10 guitarists list. I love 80s metal my fave guitarists are:

1.George Lynch 2.Dave Murray 3.Eddie Van Halen 4.Rex Carroll 5.Randy Rhoads 6.Ritchie Kotzen 7. Reb Beach 8.John Norum 9.Vito Bratta and 10 goes to Mark Kendall all in awesome bands and competent players....if ur gonna sing and play like this its just better to retire and keep your good name right bro?

[GL0CK19onboard]

Return home Vito!!!

[whitecloud1980]

kinda weak but hell, id back up mike tramp on drums. white lion was the first band other than Kiss that blew open the doors of musical freedom.music was mine after Kiss and White Lion back in the 80s.

[kendostick58]

Its not as good tunned down

[MMAcagewarrior]

He sings liie some guy hangin on to his past, talkin thru his words. doin all he can to get himself thru the ordeal. waster.

God Bless vito

[dennis6666666666]

he sang like osbourne now

[5150BALANCE]

What happened to Bratta and whats he doing now?You would think someone

that plays as good as him would keep on playing.

[kendostick58]

Vito hasnt been in the music buisness since 1994. He produced an album and that was it. Now, he lives in New York (I think) with his Mother. He hasnt played guitar for a good while so a comeback isnt expected, But i would still like one

[MatD1726]

Seems like White Lion dropped all of the tunings down on their songs. They just don't have the same feel as the old tunings.

[normandy777]

Oh, thank YOU!! ;)

[enzothescorpion]

booooooringgggggggggggg

[theromero]

Jesus, whatever. Seriously, get Vito in there. That guitarist doesn't come close to the feeling Bratta puts into his playing. Also, the singing is flat and boring. What happened to the feeling? It disappeared years ago, evidently.

[mixed34]

thanks for sharing the vid. great quality for not being hd!

[demonalcohol69]

BANG YOUR HEAD is BALINGEN (GERMANY) and not USA

[eddogar]

You're right.

Thanks.
