Sea Of Tranquillity: I will never understand how some people lumped in WHITE LION with bands like POISON and MÖTLEY CRÜE. They never wrote songs like "Lady Of The Valley", "Cry For Freedom", "Lights & Thunder" or "Warsong". Your lyrics went much deeper.

Tramp: Well, this is a matter of personal taste and not for me to judge. But one thing for sure is that WHITE LION stood aside from a lot of those bands. The only comparison was the '80s look and that fooled a lot of people, or I should say confused a lot. Who is the wolf? Who is the sheep?

Sea Of Tranquillity: How about NIRVANA? Somehow I never saw the similarity [between Tramp's post-WHITE LION band FREAK OF NATURE and NIRVANA].

Tramp: NIRVANA was too big to ignore; they made a massive impact on everything and everyone. It was like cold water in the face. I don't think we ever wanted to copy them in their sound and style of playing, as we were still more into [LED] ZEPPELIN and [THIN] LIZZY, but they broke down the walls of the '80s and squashed that polished image that MTV and the industry had created and bands followed; that is, if you can put it in that order.
