"driving down the boulevard in fancy cars"... alot of rumor's going around as to what happened to vito...i know he was offered to participate in the white lion reunion but declined...i think he's just tired of being in the music industry...it's a shame because he was a great player... check out this youtube link...it's awesome.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYexo6JLe84&search=vito%20bratta |

Ya Vomhalen, we be related! I always enjoy watching/listening to white lion. Vito just brings it to the next level for the band. so fluent and punchual yet delicate. Cool video, he is very relaxed, keeps it simple huh? cool video, how often do you hear him speak? I think this is the first time I have heard him actually talk hahaha.. thanks Vomhalen!
White lion reunion would of been great. I would have liked to seen where Vito is mentally with his playing.. guess we will never know.
ya shreder, killer tone, I just wished he would get back out there for the fun somehow.

Last I heard he was in New York or Jersey selling insurance. That's no lie. That guy was one of the best players in the 80's. It's a shame he's not around anymore.

found this on a vito bratta message board:
Let's see He works at Burgerking,White Castles he works at a pizza place,his family runs a deli.He works a garbage man a street sweeper etc....Lets run it down one more and the last time.Vito still lives in the same house he was rasied in on the same street that Ncook sent his letter to this is a fact.Vito is not missing or hid out.He is still right there on Staten Island with his Mom.And Ncook you can check with James Lomenzo on that addy.He is doing very well for himself.The computer stuff is not true that is confused by all with a website called Bratta.com <that is not Vito.Does he work in Realestate yes.The building end of it.No he did not spend his money like a lot of the other stars of that era.Hence Jani Lane and so on.He still plays at home.His hand is ok.He has slight Cop tunnel syndrom.Ncook if you look at the satallite photos of his house you will see and big buliding out the back of his house if it shows up.Alot of his stuff stored in there and he plays out there.Also Ncook email James cuss at the site he may fill you in on a little.And yes Vito did chime in and tell Roc Doc his cuss to give him a call on his cell.So anymore ?'s rumours we need to put to rest.I 'll be happy to answer anything I can.As long as Its not private.Ha ncook ask James if he remembers Mike Stryper taken the radios and waiting for Vito to take the Wait solo and keying in on his amp and yelling Breaker Breaker just as Vito started the solo.

I really dig Vito's playing and wish he'd still contribute. I think the "Little Fighter" solo is amazing and have stolen many licks from him  |

Hey , I was just thinking back, and realized what ever happened to Vito? just disappeared! ?? any one know? Vito's playing was very amazing.. EVH meets Page type player... ? Wait and Hungry, are two songs I still crank it up and jam to driving down the hiway. I remember back in the late 80's I walked into the big Charlotte music store called Reliable Music. When I walked in there was a guy off in the corner playing a black strat with about 5 to 6 people standing around. I remember the dude was wearing jeans, a leather jacket, and was as pale as a ghost....but the dude could wail! The rhythms the guy was playing, they sent shivers up my arm...still to this day I've never heard riffs like that...yep they were that good. Since I was in a hurry I didn't stick around...I got my stuff and left. Later I found out that dude was Vito Bratta! Apparently he was in the area and stopped by to visit a friend. Doh!!! |
