Ep. 118 White Lion - Big Game - Review & Reaction! The Lost Episode
This episode, thought to be lost forever, was recently rediscovered in the dank basement of the Big Talk Studio. It has been pieced together to as close to its original form as possible , as parts of it were too damaged to retore......Enjoy!
White Lion’s third studio album, Big Game, released in 1989, followed the success of their breakthrough album Pride (1987). While Pride established the band as a force in the glam metal scene with hits like "Wait" and "When the Children Cry," Big Game took a slightly different approach. The album showcased a mix of melodic hard rock, socially conscious lyrics, and an attempt at diversifying their sound.
Big Game arrived at a time when glam metal was beginning to wane in popularity, as grunge and alternative rock were on the horizon. While the album didn't have the same lasting impact as Pride, it did showcase White Lion’s continued effort to balance radio-friendly rock with more serious themes, such as war, conservation, and social issues. Songs like "Little Fighter" exemplified their ability to infuse hard rock with meaningful messages. While the album didn’t achieve multi-platinum status, it remains a favorite among White Lion fans and is often praised for its musicianship, particularly Bratta’s guitar work.
