“Wait” Isolated Guitar

[Gitfiddler]

Such beautiful writing and playing. I’s great to fully hear the acoustic parts

 

[marvcus]

Vito!

Such great playing and his parts were always creative.

This is also a great example of how narrow of a band the guitar sits in a full mix.

 

[JohnnyGtar]

Vito=genius.

 

[Matt300ZXT]

That man could play and write some killer guitar parts, but dammit he was ugly as sin.

 

[Eazy-ESP]

Absolutely incredible.

Also shows how it’s the sum of all parts. When it was at that “hold on” part I could hear the climbing pitch of the vocals.

Wish they/he did more. Has he resurfaced fit any interviews or anything yet? I haven’t looked into him in years.

 

[Corey James]

That entire album is a guitar lesson! Still can't believe that solo was on sound check and Vito didn't know the red light was on.

 

[stratjacket]

Wow that really cool. It is amazing how it sits with the full band because if you didn’t know the song and heard that for the first time ever I’d be like WTF, there’s just some random guitar parts pieced together.

Those 80s acoustic tones are god awful

 

[Gitfiddler]

Those 80s acoustic tones are god awful

the distorted guitar tones were quite awful too but I still dig Vito and the song.

 

[NorCal_Val]

The solo has a cool slippery feel to it.
Jeez, really well constructed melody.
Yeah, the tones aren’t fantastic, but they worked
in the context of the mix.

Vito Bratta was one of my favs of the '80s hair metal, along with Michael Sweet, among others outside of thrash.


Being from that era I dig these '80s tones; reminds me of my old ADA rig, and my current ISP Theta Pro Michael Sweet gear that gets those tones too.

Maybe Vito hasn’t retired from music at all and the song is called Wait for a reason. He’s just milking the space between the notes right now

White Lion mixes are kinda slim for 80's standard. I mean, not taking anything away from playing or writing, but I have BIG GAME on vinyl and it is a shit mix. I love Little Fighter and the whole record, but it's super shrill on the high end. Compared to Dokken "Under Lock and Key" or Europe's "Out of This World" EPIC Records had killer mixes on vinyl. Listen to Killer Dwarfs "Big Deal" on EPIC. It's awesome.

I can say they could reproduce live. I saw them open for the Iron Maiden Powerslave tour. NYC Radio City Music Hall.

I despise this band
