Say what you want, but White Lion has a killer cover of "Radar Love."

There's going to a Pride parade here soon. I guess it's to celebrate this record or something? I've never been to one before, but I'm really stoked to meet all kinds of other rawkin White Lion fans like myself.

@Camp Tiger Claw: I always get Great White and White Lion mixed up...until I remember the fire incident. I feel like my grandmother getting Star Wars and Star Trek confused.

@Camp Tiger Claw:

"I neva ad the chance to lav ye-ou!"

This record is 21 years old?!?! I propose an anniversary tour celebrating their 21st with artists who have classic metal pop "21 year old" albums - Def Leppard's Hysteria, White Lion, and Whitesnake.

Can you imagine the merch? I'd buy a T shirt and a program.

As for the cover, well its a bit unfortunate...kinda reminds me of what the skull of a Predator would look like.

@Camp Tiger Claw: Funny story related to that which I meant to say in my first comment. My friend and his then wife were in Seattle and had gone to see Hedwig And The Angry Inch. He was wearing a Red Sox hat and saw a hairy burly dude also in a Red Sox hat and asked him if he had checked out any games this year. I guess in some circles in the gay community the B on a Red Sox hat, stands for Bears (as in big, hairy gay dudes) and not the Red Sox. Well, after his conversation, he found out about the alternative meaning of the B and realized the guy probably thought he was hitting on him. True story.

@NDFSEA:

I think Whitesnake, Great White and White Lion actually played
a show in LA (Forum?) back in '89 or so. They all have new records coming out now so maybe that'll happen. Rocklahoma maybe.

I imagine Vito Bratta is still not in the band? Great guitarist but about a year or two ago he begged a co-worker of mine for money on 36th and 8th. Said he was in a big band called White Lion and sold all his publishing so now he's broke. A few weeks later he went on Eddie Trunk so we had pictures to confirm with said co-worker this was the guy who asked him for money. He gave Vito five bucks!

    This is the saddest news I've heard all week. What, Mike Tramp thinks we bought White Lion's first two albums because of his whiney voice?

    The guitar playing on the new White Lion myspace page is so generic that it might as well be step-edited midi guitar samples.

    Truly awful, if Vito's fate is as described above. He WAS White Lion.
