Again, were talking about another excellent group. I have only
one album and thats the once bitten album. I think the most popular
song from that lp is "ROCK ME". I do not hear it too much on the
radio anymore...oh well...sh*t happens.
I like Great White, I thaught for second that I heard another lp
from them, but I am not sure.,If I did..it's because a rapped a
tape from my brother.....who's a devoted "heavy metal banger".

I love the first album
The Song Runaway is great,, also they did an awsome version to
the old song 'Give me some Lovin' (I believe it was an old Sam Davis
song)

They have a few albums before ONCE BITTEN.
I have OB and love it. I've seen them in concert 2 or 3 times..
a great band..good blusey sound..
What I dont wnderstand is where Jimmy Page get's off calling
GW another Zep clone like Kingdom Come...to me they dont sound anything
like Led Zep...

No, I don't think that Great White is a Zepp. clone, they may sound
like zepp. in a few songs but that's all. As for Kingdome Come,
I think the only thing that suggest's that are a Zepp. clone is
that the lead vocalist sounds like Robert plant.
Just like White Snake, doesn't David sound like Robert plant too.

Re Sax..
You and Jim (The Drool master) Page musta been doing the same
drugs..(^8 NO WAY do those tunes sound like ZEP...
It's really irritating..Jim Page keeps in all his interviews
..as of late..keeps talking about the "Zep clone" bands.. among
those he mentions are Kingdom Come.. Whitesnake.. Great White.
Imo the only valid "clone" would be KC...but simpily cause fo
the singer dudes voice. Whitesnake imo sounds nothing like Zep..
the bow bit in the vid was more a joke considering the ACTUAL solo
is done with a pick... and I have no idea why he says GW is a
ZEP clone. I think Mr Page ought to have some coffee and wake the
F*CK up!!

It's said that Whitesnake is a Zep-clone 'coz of the way
Dave C. 'poses' on stage ... the moves, the hair, and
basically the way he acts. They LOOK like Zeppelin, but
no way do they sound like them.

Yeah, they could have been a Zep cover band. I saw GW open for
Twisted Sister and GW covered Zep's "Immigrant Song". Maybe this
has something to do with Page's saying what he did.
I saw a band in FLA a couple of years ago called What on Earth. I
could swear that bleach-headed guy from GW was in that band. They
were horrible.

Anybody else notice that ? I mean, it starts out just guitars
and a little drums, in come the honky tonk keys, and I keep waiting
for all hell to break loose into a rock and roll song - instead
it turns into a radio sing-a-long tune ! Great White ? Nope, I
give 'em fair on this one !

Yeah, Scary, I thought the exact same thing! The original was such a
kick butt tune (its an old Ian Hunter song), that I thought they would
really kick it into high gear. Instead they just sorta glide along into
nowhere land.....
Yech!
For the definitive version, listen to Ian's 'Live at the Club' album....

Ya can't slam dance too it, but it's got as couple of good grooves

liked "Once Bitten", then you'd probably like "Twice Shy" as well.

| 'Twice Shy' is a great follow up to 'Once Bitten'. The video to
the first single (the last track on the album) 'Once Bitten, Twice
Shy' has a similar structure to 'Face The Day' off of Once Bitten.
Thsoe guys sure have some nice girlies in the vid, but then i guess
that is only to be expected. I saw the band play as a backing band
in a new fairly new film about a rich girl who gets reduced to being
a house maid to prove her worth.

and I hate it. It's like a wicked rip off of "Once Bitten, Twice Shy",
nothing original about it *at all*. What a piece of junk! I've heard
some Great White songs that I do like in the past, but I'd rather not
ever hear this one again.
It's a real shame because, from the airplay it's currently getting,
it's bound to turn into a "hit" and we'll have to endure it forever
more.

Not impressed. Mostly ballads, with a couple rockers thrown in
for good measure. The live disc is OK, though. "Rock Me",
"Once Bitten, Twice Shy", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You".

I have one of their older albums ... no, wait, I don't have
it, I heard it maybe 5 years ago and they did some great
Zeppelin covers.
I think I like 95% of the "Once Bitten" album, and maybe
50% of the rest. Schlock, but listenable schlock.
