Greg & James have played in different groups after White Lion. Soon, in the autumn of the same year the band disbanded. Bone Caradonna & drummer Jimmy De Grasso. In 1992 Greg D`Angelo & James Lomenzo had enough of Tramp`s continuous fighting with Bratta so they left the band. It contained chart tune Lights & Thunder and a new version of their first album’s song Broken Heart. The hits single was Radar Love, a classic originally recorded by Golden Earring.īest CD Mane attraction was on 1991, according to Greg D'Angelo. Brought more successful album for them and also set up their place in the hard rock bands' top-flight. In 1989 too, their next CD Big Game came out. And yup, after that the band got toured with Kiss, AC/DC, Stryper and Frehley's Comet. But not only Wait, When the Children Cry also reached 3rd place, and making Atlantic released Fight To Survive worldwide too. Atlantic released their second album, Pride the successful album with the single Wait which is on 8th of US chart & surprisingly real metal music listeners was liked it too. And making a huge question of a fictitious "female" member on that project.īut I think, 1989 is their brightly year for them. Then a few months later, the independent records Grand Slamm went bankrupt.ġ986, White Lion had brief part in the The Money Pit movie, starring by Tom Hanks and Shelley Long. And one year after that, small independent label Grand Slamm records finally released Fight To Survive in US, right on Nov 9, 1985. But there's a hope when RCA picked up Fight To Survive album to be released in Japan, 1984. It's been really years fight to survive for this band, just like the name of their new debut album. Unfortunately, after a month joined with White Lion, Dave Spitz left to play bass with Black Sabbath and his place, had been replaced by James Lomenzo. It's been a hard year for White Lion, until it's climax, both Capozzi and Robinson soon left the band.īut it was not the end of the band, in fact two empty places for drummer and bassist was replaced by Felix Robinson and Dave Spitz (both from Anthrax band). Their new debut album with Elektra records in 1983, Fight To Survive has been making Elektra unhappy and refusing for releasing the album, and soon terminated their contract also.
And named the band with Lions for the first time, then changed to White Lion. And they were found Nicki Capozzi as drummer, and Felix Robinson for bassist. Their two decided to form a band by recruiting more people for joining with them. Before that, in early 1982 after moving from Denmark to New York, Mike Trampenau (as we recognized now as Mike Tramp, the vocalist) met Vitto Bratta, a guitarist from Brooklyn. With James Lomenzo, Greg D'Angelo, Mike Tramp, and Vitto Bratta together as the members of White Lion. New York, 1983, it is the first time they was formed as a band.
