DOWNLOAD: Jon Geezy & Parlae Ft. Snypa Ryfle - Great White
Tosh.0 is a terrible television program that desperately tries, and fails, to be The Soup. And I guess the recently turned its sights on metal, producing the below video. It starts with host/missing Winklevoss triplet Daniel Tosh making a string of painfully unfunny observations all based around the oldest and lamest clichés about metal. Then [...]
Happy Birthday to underrated songwriter and former Mott The Hoople front man Ian Hunter - featuring cover versions from everyone from Barry Manilow to Great White.
Admit it: this picture makes you SO FUCKING HAPPY. Recently, my friend sent me a YouTube link to a Bee Gees cover group. Excuse me, tribute band. That is the proper way of addressing them, as Mark Wahlberg taught us in Rock Star. I don't like the Bee Gees. I don't like disco. Disco is [...]
A few weeks ago I spent the duration of my train commute to work mesmerized by a woman sitting a few seats away from me. She looked like she had traveled through time - from the late 80's to be exact - and had somehow found herself riding the 5:30 a.m. train on a cold November morning in the year 2010 heading from the southwestern suburbs into the heart of Denver. She was maybe in her late forties, rail thin and short. She was wearing a college football sweatshirt, slim-fitting jeans that were almost tucked into her Champion [...]
If you happened to catch the clip on YouTube of Great White singer Jack Russell falling on stage earlier this summer (fast forward to 2:12), you know that Russell's in pretty bad shape following a number of health issues. At the end of August, it was announced that ex-Warrant singer Jani Lane (most recently in the news due to a DUI ) would be filling in the rest of Great White's tour dates for 2010. The biggest question was which Jani Lane would show up [...]

The '80s generally can be broken into two parts – new wave in the beginning and pop/hair/glam-metal for the end. As the popularity of new wave's second wave began to decline in the mid '80s, hard rock bands, mostly out of the Los Angeles club circuit, like Motley Crue and Ratt, started to fill the vacancy. Boosted by ever increasing airplay on MTV (even creating the metal-centric Headbangers' Ball ), these rockers with their penchant for guitar hooks, elaborate fashion, makeup, and wild hair topped the charts, sold millions of records, and received a lion's share of radio airplay [...]

It's been a while since I selected a Led Zeppelin song for Cover Wars, over a year actually . Though always a popular song on the radio, Ramble On was not played in full live by Led Zeppelin until 2007, 38 years after the release of Led Zeppelin II . The Contestants: Bustle In Your Hedgerow , which features Marco Benevento and Joe Russo of The Duo with Scott Metzger of RANA and Dave Dreiwitz of Ween delivers an instrumental rendition to [...]
Remember a couple of weeks ago, when we told you that Great White vocalist Jack Russell needs a colostomy bag now 'cause he has a perforated bowel, which basically means his intestines ripped open and shit starting spilling into places it ain't s'posed ta spill? Well even though that colostomy bag is only supposed to [...]
How does Great White still exist? If The Station Fire wasn't a career-ending scandal, what is? Would Jack Russell have to go around throwing babies at brick walls or something? Or do you still think aging housewives would re-live their glory days by going to see him and whomever the fuck else is in Great [...]

So Rocklahoma, the once cock-rockalicious festival, may be a wash this year, but it seems that there's already a new fest to grab ahold of the Aquanet and let us relive our youth gone wile: Rock N America, which take place from July 23 to July 25 in - get this - Oklahoma. Huh. The line-up [...]
About 4 or 5 years ago I caught Jack Russell and Mark Kendall with a bunch of kids playing under the name Great White opening for a Jaime St.James -led Warrant in Cincinnati. Most of you have tuned out by now, I get it, but for those sticking around for the ride, Great White was way better than I expected and I had forgotten how many songs of theirs I knew all the words to. Since that time, most of the original members of Great White have returned [...]
This great acoustic Zeppelin tune comes off 1971's Led Zeppelin IV. This is quite possibly the first Cover Wars selection where the original studio take does not feature any drums. Though there is a tambourine in the mix. Also, this song is supposedly about Joni Mitchell - go figure. The Contestants: Dread Zeppelin : Longtime readers may remember Dread Zeppelin's winning combination of an Elvis Impersonator and a reggae band from the All Of My Love edition [...]

I can remember returning from the record store with a copy of Twisted Sister's album You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll like it was yesterday. My parents had company over when I walked in and they asked me what album I bought...the look on their faces was priceless when they saw a photo of the band on the back cover. It's not rocket science, kids...shock sells. While tame by today's standards, men in drag was still revolting at that point. I've never had [...]

Chatter surrounding Spencer Pratt's nascent rap career seems to be increasing in volume. After Complex got a minute with the Hills star and celebrity stain last week, XXL followed-up to try and make sense of all the hot air. In an interview posted yesterday, Pratt listed Asher Roth as major influence/inspiration and spat more ill-conceived manifesto than verses. When asked to provide the latter, S. Pratt/Prat Daddy/Great White's response made for an apocalyptic sound byte: [...]
What do Twisted Sister, Great White, Kix, Nelson, Danger Danger and Anthrax all have in common? They're all playing this year's Rocklahoma Festival. Okay. Now. 'Thrax have always been the most glam-friendly thrash band. They've toured with Motley Crue and done shows with Twisted Sister and Sebastian Bach before, and Scott Ian's unabashed love of all things [...]
First Maynard, now this. Look: I fucking love Vegas. I was there for New Year's once and I think I had pretty much the best fucking night of my life. But part of what's so fun about that town is how friggin' ridiculous everything is; it can't be taken seriously at all, and if you try to [...]
