Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of Great White’s celebrative live album 30 Years-Live From the Sunset Strip on February 22nd in Europe and February 26th in North America.
To mark its 30th Anniversary live on March 22nd, 2012, Great White celebrated the only logical way-on stage. In a nod to its early days, Great White returned to the infamous Sunset Strip, where a storied past of music’s biggest fans are fused into the walls of the Key Club. Great White delivered its entire repertoire to a packed house, pining for the band’s raw energy and cheering its illustrious history track after track.
The Southern California blues hard rock band debuted with a Don Dokken/Michael Wagener produced EP in 1983 and later on were signed by EMI for 1984’s self-titled debut album. Since then Great White has achieved worldwide success, encompassing sales of over six million records. They received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song Once Bitten, Twice Shy and earned a double platinum certification for the album …Twice Shy.
It’s the soulful, blues-based signature sound that turned songs like Face The Day, Rock Me and Save Your Love into international hits. The late 80’s were boom years for the band, marked by non-stop touring with some of the biggest bands of the era including stints in Europe and Japan. Great Whte recorded two more albums for Capitol: Hooked, which was certified gold and Psycho City.
With a line up featuring Co- Founder Mark Kendall, Audie Desbrow, Michael Lardie Scott Snyder and new singer Terry Ilous (former XYZ), a natural frontman blessed with bluesy-heritage rock tone, Ilous fits the band like a glove. Great White’s biting guitar riffs, contagious rhythm section and newfound energy is ready to honor its past and create the next chapter. 30th Anniversary Live is just one night – but the music is timeless.

I MISS Jack Russell’s voice in this band. I saw the interview he did on That Metal Show, and I sure wish I knew what happened exactly. Yes, it’s the full band lineup, but without Jack it doesn’t mean the same to me. I’m just very glad I got to see the band twenty years ago with him out front. That to me will ALWAYS be the Great White I loved. Now, the feeling for me is just plain MISSING. Sorry guys, but that’s how it feels to me and to a lot of other GW fans as well.
It was great to get a new album from VAN HALEN the way they should be. While Sammy is o.k. on his own,I didn’t care for him in VH. TRUTH rocks it and could have been slotted in as the follow-up to Diver Down. I’m a huge KISS fan and with the solid songs on MONSTER could have been #1 if the album had a fuller sound instead of hollowed-out drums. RUSH had a solid, return-to-roots sound on theirs and was a good album. SLASH is a lot like GnR to me-I don’t pay much attention to either because they are at their best AS ONE ENTITY. AEROSMITH,aka Aero-puke, hasn’t released anything good in nearly 20 years. Ten years of waiting for their latest crap?! Sellouts and not even good at that.
HeyEddie! Just wanted to say thanks for the book(loved it) and the 8by10 for our wall of fame! Love your show and keeping uptodate here with news! Keep up the great work bro!we need you!
