A very special year this was...
One could say that this group's guitarist was an Eddie Van Halen clone!
The lead singer even had the prerequisite of having long blond and teased hair and a commanding and prowling stage presence a la David Lee Roth, not to mention the uh, bulge. Hey man, how's it hangin'? To the right today!
This band can only be 80's hard rock group White Lion, fronted by the (still) hot Danish frontman, Mike Tramp and powered by the guitar histrionics of Vitto Bratta who has long since gone into obscurity since leaving the group years ago. The other two band members? Who cares! And look at those acid washed jeans on Vitto1
This song is from their 1987 album, "Pride":
One of my most favorite songs ever! But then, I say that about a lot of songs, but I really really mean it for this one!
Gawd, I LOVE these lyrics! It's the perfect rock ballad that starts out soft with complete with arpeggiated guitar runs, impassioned vocals and hair whipping and guitar-god posting goodness!
"Wait, just a moment
Before our love will die
'Cause I
Must know the reason why we say goodbye...
Wait, just a moment
and tell me why...
'Cause I
Can show you lovin' like you won't deny...
(enter guitars...)
cut to the excellent chorus:
"Wait, wait!
I never had a chance to laaaavh you...
Wait, wait!
If only our love could show you...
Wait, wait!
I never wanna be without you...
Wait, wait!
No, I never had a chance to laaahve you
Now I only wanna say I laaahve you... one more time!"
(guitar solo - one of the best solos Eddie Van Halen NEVER did)
"Baby I'm begginl you wait...
No, I never a chance to laaaaahv you"
(sing in sexy Danish accent and whip your hair around!)
Previous entry - "W" is for Whodini! (oh yeah....)
Only three more left! What am I going to do for "X"?
