OT: New White Lion samples!

Postby Rip Rokken » Fri Jan 11, 2008 1:26 pm

From their new album, "Return of the Pride"... very cool!

"Dream" http://www.frontiers.it/portals/0/multi ... sample.mp3

"Live Your Life" http://www.frontiers.it/portals/0/multi ... sample.mp3

"Set Me Free" http://www.frontiers.it/portals/0/multi ... sample.mp3

"Battle At Little Big Horn" http://www.frontiers.it/portals/0/multi ... sample.mp3

Sure, it's just Mike Tramp solo, no Vito Bratta, but still -- great stuff! :P

You bet! I was amazed at how modern "Dream" sounded. I could imagine that on any radio station, though you know they'll never get any. And Vito... Man, who knows? The only thing I ever hear about him is when he's throwing some legal wrench into Mike Tramp's White Lion efforts, but have no clue what he's doing these days.

Anyway, I'm buying this album as soon as it hits...

The vocals are too on top of the mix...the instruments too muted.....so it doesn't mesh well... ..sounds too separated...to me anyway.

So, what I'm hearing is that you are going to buy 5 copies when it comes out? :P

well not only the mixing throws me off...not crazy about the material I hear there either...but it is partial.... I would like to hear the whole thing before rushing to judgement completely..doubt I'll be throwing any cash away for it though....based on those clips :wink: 8)

So, what I'm hearing is that you are going to fork over an extra $20 for the Japanese digipak with extra tracks? :P

I would like to hear more of the tracks... The lyrics for "Dream" cut off at, "If you could live like a fish in the ocean..." That would make a great "complete the following lyric" challenge!

Let me think....

"If you could live like a fish in the ocean... Would you swim to England just to see Locomotion?" :P

"Dream" sucks.

"Live Your Life" is OK.

"Set Me Free" sounds excellent.

"Battle at Little Big Horn" is mediocre.

Mike Tramp was never a great singer and he sounds even worse now.

This is a travesty without Vito. Really. Vito's guitar and songwriting are as much an identifiable factor of White Lion as Tramp's voice. If not more...

This isn't White Lion. It's just White....well, more like off-white.

If this ever gets released in the states, I hope Vito sues the living shit out of Tramp to prevent him from releasing it....

Yeah, he ought to be releasing it under his own name or find another band name. The only reason I can think of is that he's capitalizing on White Lion's name, which probably isn't going to do him much good anyway.

well, if you listened to any of the junk he released under his own name, you'll know that no matter what stock people hold in the white lion name, it's far better than Tramp...
