While one notorious cabaret testify eclipses their late achievements, the hard rock/heavy metal circle Great White would practically rather you remember their Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance, the over half a dozen one thousand thousand records they sold, and their dual pt album
...Twice Shy.
Formed in the other '80s by vocalizer Jack Russell and guitar player Mark Kendall, Great White were regulars of the L.A. club fit, playing their Led Zeppelin- and AC/DC-influenced metal to a cursorily ontogeny fan pedestal. Local wireless play and more gigging helped sell 20,000 copies of their independent releases, the
Out of the Night EP and the uncut
Stroke in the Dark, both released in 1983.
The EMI label took notice, signed the stripe, and released its self-titled, major-label debut a twelvemonth later.
Stab in the Dark would be reissued by the label in 1987, the like year as the new album
Once Bitten... appeared with the gain exclusive "Rock Me." The album went atomic number 78, merely 1989's
...Twice Shy took things even further thanks in no small section to the massive winner of the single "Once Bitten Twice Shy," a cover of a Mott the Hoople song written by Mott member Ian Hunter.
Retentive tours with Ratt and a co-headlined tour with Tesla unbroken the ring extinct of the studio until 1991 when the polished
Hooked appeared with deuce unlike album covers, one a provocative side shot of a mermaid suspension off an lynchpin in midair and one less shameful with the mermaid still submerged.
Aquiline went gold piece their 1992 follow-up,
Psychotic City, sold less, leading to EMI saying good day to the stria with the 1993 digest
The Best of Great White.
Sail Away from 1994 establish the ring on Zoo, while 1996's
Let It Rock was released by Imago. A springy set of cover tunes featuring the put to work of their favourite band appeared as
Great Zeppelin: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin, released by Cleopatra in 1999. That like year,
Can't Get There from Here on the Portrait label gave fans their number one taste of Russell's new writing partnership with longtime friend and quondam Night Ranger member Jack Blades. Another set of covers formed the 2002 Cleopatra album
Regain, just this time the choices were surprising, with the Cult's "Love Removal Machine" and X's "Burning House of Love" acquiring the Great White treatment.
Forgotten by the mainstream, they were brought stake into the calcium light when pyrotechnics used by the band sparked a fire in a Rhode Island nightspot on February 20, 2003, killing C citizenry, including the band's guitar player, Ty Longley. The 2004 reprint of
Regain drew some media attention, since the Horizon label had granted it a new and now pathological form of address,
Combustion House of Love. Trials concerning the fire continued on into 2006 as questions concerning world Health Organization authorised the pyrotechny were organism investigated. The band spent the lie of the year touring and performing some benefit concerts for victims of the fire. In early 2007 they began celebrating their 25th anniversary with some West Coast shows that were trussed to the release of
VH1 Classic Presents: Metal Mania - Stripped, Vol. 3 and in the summer they released a young studio record album,
Back to the Rhythm.
