Amazed at Vito's playing on this video.

[kissmyace]

I've read that he and Eddie were friends, and that a fan thought Vito was Eddie, while they were talking. They both played along.

I always thought Vito was more melodic that EVH too. Bratta came outta nowhere in the 80's, raised holy hell then disappeared.

Slightly off-topic...

The opening riff in "All You Need Is Rock & Roll" is one of my all-time 80's favorites. The rest of the song is pretty generic and disappointing. A great riff wasted... IMHO

good player
awful music that sounds dated and hackneyed the day it came out
too bad he never did anything with a real rock band
"little child"……..
i cringe at the thought

uh oh another fukin critic

Lorenzo was underrated too. I hated how Tramp sang live, saw them open for Kiss on their first album. Crazy Nights tour. Yes, I'm old.

I saw that tour.....but King Kobra opened for Kiss when they came in my town. Rather of seen White Lion 100 times over though.

This sounds a bit like Vito's tone from the concert.

The fact Vito is being talked about in the same sentence as Eddie (25 years after the fact) shows he made a pretty good impact. I loved his playing at the time and still appreciate it. He was very melodic....something so much of us are missing (including myself)...probably why we distract ourselves chasing tone. lol

 

[Mailman1971]

he was a Ada Mp-1 user right? trying to remember?
I bought a one for that reason and was copping some tone REALLY CLOSE with the ADA.
That was a pretty decent unit for that tone. Used it for about 10 years. Sold it on Ebay for more then I paid for it.

I've never listened to Vito play before, but I can understand the EVH reference. He has obviously coppied Ed, too much I think.

 

[Mailman1971]

To me he was like a Mix of EVH with Lynch....and little Nuno. I loved his playing! He was one of the top guns back in the day for sure.
