Bio:

Great White is an American hard rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977. The band gained popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s. The band released several albums in the late 1980s and gained airplay on MTV with music videos for songs like "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". The band reached their peak popularity with the album ...Twice Shy in 1989.The band continued to release new material into the 1990s, although none of their material charted in the United States. In 2003, the band made headlines when The Station nightclub fire led to the deaths of 100 people in West Warwick, Rhode Island, including the band's guitarist Ty Longley, who had been a member of Jack Russell's solo band.In 2011 the band split with Jack Russell forming "Great White Featuring Jack Russell" and Terry Ilous fronted Great White. As of August 2007, Great White sold over 8 million records worldwide.In 2008, bassist Sean McNabb left Great White to concentrate on a career in theater and acting. McNabb was promptly replaced with Scott Snyder (Ramos, Accomplice).McNabb is now a member of Dokken.Great White released their latest album, Rising, on 13 March 2009 in Europe via Frontiers Records and on 21 April in the US.In 2010, Jani Lane of Warrant filled in for Jack Russell, while Russell recuperated from surgery after suffering a perforated bowel. Terry Ilous (XYZ) replaced Jack Russell at the Coach House during the summer of 2010 and Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot, King Kobra) filled in for Russell when Great White performed at Stockholm Rock Out Festival in September.In December 2011, Jack Russell, having recovered from his health issues, formed a new incarnation of Great White with a brand-new lineup under the name of "Jack Russell's Great White."The other band members have voiced their strong objection to this move and said that "Jack Russell does not have the right to start his own Great White or use the name without our names in the lineup. We will litigate any promoter that books ‘Jack Russell's Great White’ or uses any logo featuring the name Great White.". In September 2013, the courts finally reached a decision declaring that legally Jack Russell can tour, and use the name "Jack Russell's Great White" with his own band; while the other original members along with new lead singer Terry Ilous [XYZ], will continue to use the official name "Great White".On 18 March 2012 Great White announced their first new album with singer Terry Ilous,Elation, to be released in May that year, as well as a live album ( Great White: 30 years - Live On the Sunset Strip), and concert DVD of the band's 30th-anniversary show at the Key Club in Hollywood on 22 March.In July 2013 Bassist Dario Seixas left "Jack Russell's Great White" and was replaced by former bassist Tony Montana.Lorne Black, the former bassist of Great White, died on September 27, 2013.In early 2014, Tony Montana moved to guitar, and was replaced at bass by Chris Tristram.

Album:

One nice request here was the first full-length album by American hard rockers GREAT WHITE, in its remastered version by Axe Killer Records featuring 5 bonus tracks.After an indie EP, Great White was signed by industry mover & shaker Alan Niven (whose distribution company, Greenworld, also issued Motley Crue's first LP) and abandoning their original moniker Dante Fox, the newly rechristened Great White officially opened their bait & tackle shop for business with this eponymous 1984 debut on a major label.Alternately named "Stick It" in a few foreign markets as this Axe Killer reissue - and graced with a sleazy band photo instead of the spare but classy, white-logo-on-black cover known to most fans - the album reworked 3 tracks from that independent EP, and for many this is their strongest record.But this album shows a different Great White than the famous for its commercial tunes, displaying a more hard-driving metal sound as opposed to their later, blues-infused melodic rock sound.'Great White / Stick It' still stands out from Great White's remaining discography thanks to its gritty production (Michael Wagener) and straightforward songs, undiluted, as yet, by the group's looming commercial aspirations.The 'Side A' of this record is pure gold, highlighted by the menacing swagger of 'On Your Knees' and the killer 'Stick It', followed close behind by fast-driving opener "Out Of The Night' and its magical early '80s chorus (to me, influenced by Rainbow / Joe Lynn Turner era).The cover of The Who / Pete Townshend's is catchy and rockin', and the album's first half it's rounded out by the more restrained but effective grooves of "Bad Boys".'Side B' includes the impressive 'StreetKiller' actually threatened to deliver a first taste of balladry before evolving into yet another menacing heavy rocker, followed by the atypically metallic Judas Priest-derived 'No Better Than Hell'.Midtempo 'Hold On' is a glimpse of the anthemic qualities that would anchor Great White's future formula for success, 'Nightmares' is heavier (influenced by Elm Street movies?) before 'Dead End' - very reminiscent of early Dokken - finish out the album on an energetic thrust of the hips.Great White's first extended swim into the music business cesspool proved that they were easily up to the task of scavenging for fans alongside the L.A. glam metal scene. It's heavy, it's pure '80s, it rocks.This Axe Killer Records remaster is really good, well balanced, and features 5 bonus tracks, B-sides of some of the band's singles.
