VITO!!!!! VIIIIITOOOOOO!
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 11:00am by Vince Neilstein“Builtforsin” got all riled up in the comments of yesterday’s Axl-penned post about James Lomenzo’s stint in White Lion. Seems Mr. sin isn’t too fond of our posts about ’80s hair metal:
Can we get over this pussy 80’s throwback/hair metal band/musical disaster fuckfest you guys got going on over the last few days and get to some shit people care about. I understand news is slow but FUCK. This shit is horrible. Maybe take a day off so you can save up an article or two of some not queer shit? Review an album, SOMETHING? You guys get less metal everyday.
Hey, builtforsin, guess what? FUCK YOU! It’s our site and we’ll post whatever we damn well please! I’m not even into White Lion — like, at all — but just because you asked, here’s some video footage of White Lion guitarist Vito Bratta shredding it up live in 1988. At least commenters “braincake” and “columbo” knows what’s up.

i like it when peolple get all uppity about stuff that really shouldn’t bother them. it’s the same reason i watch The Ruins.
:(
LFMAO this is the funniest thing ive ever seen. eruption ripoff hahahahaha thats the problem about the 80s. you can do anything on a guitar and people are gonna be like “WOOAOOOOA YEAH ROCK ON WOOO”
you even got like 2 of the dude in rythem kinda hand banging for a bit, and buddy guitarist is still just acting like an asshole hahahaha NICE JACKET
If y’all ever feel so inclined as to bust out some Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, or the like, I could totally be on board for that – any day. They’re just FUN. And at any rate, the lyrics to “Bathroom Wall” pretty much sum up how I feel about this site in general. Seriously. Just saying.
Otherwise, my policy with this site still stands: If it doesn’t interest me, I don’t bother clicking it just to complain that it doesn’t interest me. I just move on to the next thing. Frankly, if I felt THAT strongly about it, I would just make my own site and have done with this one. But no, you guys still amuse me (for now).
Exactly I don’t know why people read and comment on this site if they hate it so much. There are plenty of sites you can go if you are purely interested in metal, maybe try metal-archives and search for the bands you like and review them, or you can read reviews posted by others. Or maybe you can just start your own perfect web site.
Builtforsin, eh? Dude’s probably thinking he’s a badass, listening to BDM all day (cause you know, The Black Dahlia Murder are like the BEST death metal band, EVER) and smoking the cigs his friends had to buy for him because he’s too young to buy them himself.
There is other music out there, and odds are it influenced the bands you listen to. It also wasn’t as br00tal or whatever.
PS: I think Shinaain is Chuck Klosterman. Not really, but they probably have the same tastes in 80s Metal.
And I’ve done my part in fueling the fire for the day. Thank you and goodnight.
Would you believe that the 80’s metal I listen to now is nothing like the 80’s metal I listened to then? Of course, I wasn’t even 10 when I was originally listening to that stuff, so it only stands to reason that I was listening to the metal equivalent of Fisher Price at time. It wasn’t until I grew up and my older sisters could no longer censor my music anymore that I went back and found the good stuff.
What I know of Chuck’s taste in music, I approve. That being said, I am most assuredly NOT a middle-aged midwestern male.
BDM and Skeletonwitch destroyed on Saturday, thank you very much!
BDM is nothing to write home about, Skeletonwitch on the other hand fucking kicks ass
Oh for shit’s sake! You guys post about a dozen items per day, and among them is a pretty wide range of sarcastic ridicule to full-on, serious reviews and commentary on whatever is happening in the world of metal. Maybe builtforsin should just start his own blog site for all of the “real” metal news that “deserves” to be published.
I swear, your readership gets stupider and stupider by the day.
Stupider is not a word you dumb fuck. It would be “more stupid.”
When you insult someone’s intelligence it is important to not blow the spelling!
Is your irony detector broken? Not to mention, you might check your sources before you correct someone. “Stupider” is a real word: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stupider
haha, you just got fucked.
You missed spelled “ripping it up”. It’s spelled “watch me rip off every Van Halen Lick ever, but with more gay”.
Ha! and I mispelled “missed spelled”. Huh. Karma, eh?
..oh man, I did it again.
80’s hair metal rules. I feel sorry for those poor unfortunate souls that grew up in the 90’s and the 00’s……..so boring and bland. Shit, those 80’s hair metal bands could write actual songs and in many cases play circles around 90% of the “troo metal” bands of today.
Vito, regardless of what anyone says, was a damn fine guitar player and it’s a shame that he can not play much anymore due to his injury. I wish I had a fraction of his talent, even if he is ripping of EVH. How many people commenting here can actually play like that?
i feel special.
