Includes songs that would eventually find their way onto Great White’s 1984 self-titled debut album such as “In Love” (later re-written as “On Your Knees”) and “Money” (later rewritten as “Stick It”)!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:
From the vault of powerhouse vocalist Jack Russell comes this almost lost gem of recordings featuring Russell’s earliest recorded collaborations with guitarist Mark Kendall, which formed the foundation of ’80s hard rock icons Great White. The band was called DANTE FOX, and “The Roots of Great White 1978-1982“, to be released soon on CD & LP, compiles all these recordings.Alongside song ideas and demos, “The Roots of Great White 1978-1982” includes songs that would eventually find their way onto Great White’s 1984 self-titled debut album such as “In Love” (later re-written as “On Your Knees”) and “Money” (later rewritten as “Stick It”).It’s very, very interesting to hear how these songs evolved until its final form. Dante Fox sounds raw & heavy, however bluesy as Russell and Kendall always were.Some tracks here are unfinished songs, but darn good, and I scratch my head thinking why they didn’t continued with the idea and round up the song with complete arrangements.This Dante Fox’s material is a piece of history, mandatory for Great White fans and a must for ’80s US hard rock aficionados. These recordings are testimony of the boiling, rising hard rock scene in America, and are very enjoyable.
