Vito Bratta always come to mind when you're talking MIA from the 80s

 

 

Following the breakup of White Lion, Bratta produced an album for the band CPR on Atlantic records. Bratta has not been involved in the music industry in any capacity since 1994. He is said to be currently living in his childhood house in Staten Island with his elderly mother.

In the age of iTunes, it's pretty hard to dissapear if you're recording anything whatsoever.


Even Kim Mitchell is still Goin' for a Soda. Some great stuff by him early 90s.
Still
in heavy rotation in my music.

 

 

He's currently a radio DJ in Toronto on Q107, doing their afternoon show, and still does gigs on the side.

 

As far as Vito Bratta goes one story I've heard is that he blew one of the tendons in his fretting hand and wasn't able to play properly anymore.

Bill Carter from the Screaming Blue Messiahs

 

That band pretty much vanished right about the time things were changing towards their sound. They might have done Ok if they could have hung around for the alt rock boom of the early 90s.
