I thought I was one of the few people in the world that acknowleged the existance of VITO BRATTA. Yes, I thought was a superb player. Skills a plenty. He really did an oustanding job with White Lion's cover of Radar love. It's a shame they aren't too well known unless it's amongst 80s freaks like me.

I know its a shame that White Lion don'r recieve enough recognition today, but their songs were very meaningful with very passionate lyrics. Not to mention Bratta's guitar solos, his work has definitely challenged me in more ways than one over the past several years, hes an amazing player... Hey I have fond memories of most of these bands you mentioned, hey I didn't know that people still remembered Autograph..
