EDDIE TRUNK HOSTS GREAT WHITE’S “COMPLICATED” VIDEO PREMIERE
Trunk Nation central will showcase the world premiere of Great White’s latest music video, Complicated, on Tuesday, March 25th, the five-piece announced.
Complicated, the latest single from Elation (Frontiers) is overflowing with rockin’ guitar riffs, tight percussion, tickling keys, fresh vocal swagger and an infectious chorus. The boogie-blues track is signature Great White through and through, soon to become a fan favorite.
The accompanying music video is a far cry from classic Great White videos from back in the day. The band enlisted help from Mark Teague of Dream Haven Studios to create a multi-media narrative: a first for the band.
“We really had a good time making the video and we hope the fans dig it. They will feel the positive energy coming from the song and video,” the band said. “Working with Eddie Trunk is a great fit for us, too, Trunk Nation fans have embraced Great White for years, and we’ve gotten to know Eddie more on tours such as the Monsters of Rock Cruise.”
Working alongside a green screen and even utilizing acting prowess, Great White captures an emotional triumph. Watch the video for Complicated below.
Always been a fan of Great White. I own all of their official releases and been to countless shows, but this isn’t Great White. I own this release and it’s good, but they should’ve called it something else. Jack Russell is their defining sound. It just doesn’t work with some bands. Taking away what makes fans recognize a band loses more fans than it will ever gain.
Not really a fan of the ban but the song is ok. The video seems right out of the 80s video playbook. Wonder if was intentional.
unfortunately I cannot bring myself to listen to Great White in any form since the station fire. No disrespect to them or Eddie Trunk, just too much pain involved with those memories. That little club in Rhode Island was one of the best supporters of both the national metal and local metal scene. For us, here, the pain is too strong to be reminded of that band and its music. I’m not sure people outside of the area understand that.
Ur right, I cant understand….but only becuz I wasnt there…if I was im sure I would feel the way u do…I seen great white years ago…second on the bill with warrant and ratt headlining…city to city tour I believe…they were at their highest and playing arenas and didnt have pyro…..why would they use it in a club? Club shows r meant to be intimate setting not about stageshow….IMO, they missed the point and cost a lot of lives….maybe im being a bit harsh I dont know….
Thankfully I wasn’t at the Station the night of the fire, but I easily could have been. If it was on a weekend I probably would have, and likely wouldn’t still be here today. I went to a lot of shows there. I know people who were there, who lost friends and loved ones that night, and others still are suffering the effects of burns and injuries. I don’t know what they were thinking having pyro in a club, never in my life have I seen any other band do such a thing in a venue like that – pure stupidity and it killed over 100 people. Shortly afterward I had to travel across the country for work, and people were actually telling jokes about the “hot” Rhode Island nightlife. I was, and still am, disgusted that others would find humor in such a tragedy. I was never a Great White fan, but I did like several of their songs. Now, I can’t bring myself to listen to them. That event was literally too close to home for me, and I feel like I would be disrespecting those that died and their families if I did listen to Great White. I don’t hold it against anyone else, but I just can’t bring myself to support them – or Jack Russell – in any way. I know they would never have imagined such a thing would happen, and it certainly wasn’t intentional, but in the aftermath this band in all its incarnations is dead to me.
I was listening to WHJY the overnight(early Friday 2/21/03) and still remember the DJ’s saying “we’re trying to reach Mike(Dr Metal)” it was jarring radio. Countless families devastated by this event.
3AM…”could be 5 dead”…by 5AM, it was closer to 100. It’s an unrivaled disaster in American rock.
Every time I see or hear Great White, that’s my immediate recall. They have a right to make a living…but personally, I’d wish they’d change their name.
That video is not shameful……it’s super fun, upbeat and lighthearted, just like the song! I love it!! Great job boys!
Which version of the Great White is this? Jack Whites “Great White?”
Rick,
Why not click on the story and find out? 😉 Also, if it was Jack Russell’s version, the headline would have read “Jack Russell’s Great White.”
