That was a awesome Interview! I met jack around the late 90’s after a Great White concert in Portland, OR at the Roseland Theatre what a really cool and nice guy. I told him he did the best job on The Tribute to Rush album working man and I still think that today! Thanks for doing this interview with him.

One of the Best singers from the 80s . Great White kicked Ass

Summer of 1987 Great White's "Rock Me" video exploded on MTV around the same time Def Leppard's "Women" video and Whitesnake's "Still of the Night" video. That was the golden years of MTV, the pinnacle of '80s rock/metal.

In my opinion, Jack is the most underrated singer of the era. Go listen to their Zeppelin live cover album and tell me he's not great. Anyone can sound good on a recording, live is where the great ones are separated.

His vocals on House of Broken Love... Come on, give it up for one of the best singers of that era!

One of the best voices in 80's Rock, yet one of the underrated bands of the 80's. Jack can still sing his ass off! Love you, Jack Russell 👍 Thanks for giving the world such dope songs & music to Rock out to! 🤘🏼I Don't Want To Face the Day🤘🏼 -Peace ✌️

When they backed up Whitesnake in SLC at the Salt Palace, GW was doing Zep covers that were so good, the crowd DID NOT want them to stop playing. Excellent concert !

I adore him. He seems so down to earth. I was thrilled when he accepted my friend request on FB. A fan's dream come true! One of the top vocalists, ever! xx

Easily one of the best bands of the 80's

Such a talented band

Not only is JR one of the best rock voices, but incredible blues voice. Also, he can cover Zepp and The Cult like no other. Incredibly gifted vocalist.

The ep they released before they got a major deal was one of the best of that era.

Jack has had a rough ass last 30 or so years, but God damn his vocals are so still on point !!!!!🤘🤘🤘

Good luck Jack Russell and Great White I am thrilled about you and your band it's a miracle to get the time to see what you think now and hear your voice Lorrie your fabulous and sweet

I remember my senior year of high school when GW's Twice Shy record blew up big and every rock and top 40 radio station was playing "Once Bitten Twice Shy" ad infinitum. I also had a cover band at the time that tried to learn "House Of Broken Love" as part of our set, albeit unsuccessfully! LOL! My favorite song off that record was "She Only", and I never understood why GW didn't release that song as a single. It would've been huge! Twice Shy still stands out as one of my favorite records of the 80's, and one of my favorite albums of all time for that matter. The musicianship, the songwriting, the production -- it was all top-notch! Mark Kendall laid down some tasty guitar solos, and you could set a clock by Audie Desbrow's rock-steady drumming and Tony Montana's in-the-pocket bass playing! A lot of fond memories of my youth are connected to that album and those songs, and I will forever cherish that time in my life.

Mark Kendall is an amazing guitarist who is so underrated yet probably one of the best in the business. I like Jack Russell....seems like decent normal guy.

The best voice in Rock'n'Roll!

Awesomeness Jack. Thank You for sharing. Peace & Hugs

What a great band! Very underrated....

Met the band in the late 90's when they were playing the club circuit. Met them after the show and they let us all hang out and talk and mess about on the stage and such. Really nice bunch of guys. No ego whatsoever.

Great Whites cover of Babe I;m gonna Leave You may be the best Led Zep cover ever.

THis is great! love Jack....one of my favorite all time vocalists...Cool story! He should do a book! I first heard of them , when i saw them open for Judas Priest on the 1984 Defenders of the Faith Tour. I went to buy the cassette tape next day! Played it all thru 1984 in my car.........LOUD!!

Great White was one of my favorite bands as a teenager.

House of broken love is such a great song, so good!👍

Jack looks ready for a serious run at the big time again. Congrats.

Most underrated band

Looks like he's doing a good job keeping himself right and upright.

The original great white. Was such a great live band one of the best. Saw them multiple times from the Wilson theater in Fresno California to Tijuana Mexico

Voice of a lifetime - amazing singer

Love the Great White! Here in RI, they don't get played cuz of the Nightmare Station Night Club Fire!! Alot of Great people died that night. I knew 3 that died, Sad Horrific Scene. Their guitarist died too. I really wanted to go, i'm glad I couldn't convince my best friend to go! He's Past now, but he saved my life by saying No Great Band! I listen online when I can. Keep Rock in Everyone Peace.

Love the interview

80's Great White was a blues band 🔥

Killer interview.

Thanks for so many great songs to grow up to. Love and miss you guys!

RIP BROTHER! 🤘

I love L . A .

Really loving this channel. Excellent interview. Been a fan of these guys since the very beginning

Try to name a band Great White nowadays, there might be a little blowback lol. Rock Me has one of the greatest blues rock riffs of all time.

Not a hair metal band. GW was a fantastic blues rock band. Sail Away... epic album. Lovin Kind... perfect song

What a legend 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Dante Fox headlined a show that my old band opened in Anaheim, about 100 years ago now. We weren't anybody, but we thought there might be a scout in the audience for the show. Yeah, that didn't happen.

I love that ep. OUT OF THE NIGHT is a classic.

I mixed monitors for Great White in Hewitt Mn. two shows prior to the Rhode Island club fire, very humble, down to earth guys compared to others I worked with back then. I can't imagine what he went through to come back the way he did...Hats Off Jack!

I'm glad Jack got cleaned up and still with us. I'll always love his voice and music 🎶

Right on Jack!

Hearing Jack talk, reminds me of Joe Walsh. He's a great vocalist. Great white is one of the greatest blues rock bands to ever play. Kendall is a master.

First album is Great!

yeah i liked the original group from the minute i heard once bitten. i really dig the bluesy kinda metal/hard rock sound almost had a southern flare to it with the piano. anyway i have been workin my way from the first to the most recent vids and hadn't gotten to this one yet when i cliked on the part two that just dropped and so i had to watch this one though out of order. thanks for this one and all of 'em really.

Jack Russell is one of the most phenomenal rock vocalists of all time. He has made soooo many fantastic songs, hidden gems most don’t know about. He is one of the few vocalists from the 80’s who still can hit every note and still sounds just as great as he always did!! Don’t miss “Jack Russell’s Great White” in concert, it will be one of the best concerts you have ever been to. Also check out their masterpiece of an album “He saw it comin’”, every song is fantastic, it is Jacks best work!!!

Yeah.i remember his voice sounded like Robert Plant's that was really awesome!!

This dude has been through a lot and he can still sing. Seen him a couple of times in Maryland at M3.

Just saw Great White at the Marquee in Tempe Az 7/30/21 and the band was awesome like always but Jacks voice was very much missed! Hope they reconcile and get back together or play again one more time....From a number 1 fan! 👈🎸🎶🤘😎✌️

great singer and down to earth guy

Just seen him play live yesterday. He is still great.

Thanks for sharing.

SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} oooo great talks

Meet him and the rest of Great White at the hotel we were staying at in Lubbock when they were about to release Sail Away and hung out with them in the atrium after the concert. Jack was funny and gracious to talk with for almost an hour. It was so cool that he was interested in our thoughts on the album and the concert. Shared signed stuff with us and was just a normal guy with a shared love of music. Always happy to see him still doing his thing after all the challenges he's faced over the last few years.

I saw Great White in our home arena during the arena rock days. Then there was fire. Band sort of broke up for some time. about maybe 15 year ago I was working in a casino show room as a tech and I see they had booked Great White with original members and Dokken in the showroom. Much to my surprise it was the original Great White. Russell was pretty beat up. walking with crutch and sat on a stool the entire show but the music was all spot on. Of course George Lynch wasn't there nor the rest of the original guys. Mick Brown was playing drums. What character he is. Nice guy, made my day. .lol So I got to see Great White in one of there not so many performances back together again.

Love watching these!

RIP JACK ROUSELL

Whenever I saw Great White at The Station incident, I always checked around for the fire exists. True story.

Cool story. The stuff they can't really "teach" you about the business, because having a record executive quite their gig and become your manager is just something that happened here, not really a game plan to get signed. I love the honest truth Jack shares. He looks so much healthier these days.

Sooo interesting! Your channel is just KILLIN it! Great editing, great content (only thing thats a lil odd is the WAYY heavy intro song for a bunch of Glam interviews) 🧐... n e hoo keep rockin

Love this guy 🤘🤘 still listen to the music. And love playing it on my guitars too. A friend of mine and I were supposed to go to that show in Rhode Island years back. We decided not to go. Don't blame this man at all for that tragedy. I blame the owners of that shit hole club they owned. So many wrong things about that club. Not up to code with anything. I seen a couple shows in that place before great white played there.

Cool to hear thanks

Jack White will always be the voice of Great White.

Somebody must remember..I seen whitesnake in 87 or 88..I think great white opened..

Saw Great White when they opened for Dio in Dayton, OH 85-86? Had know idea who they were. They were great.

Great channel.

Dang he looks like joe Walsh did back when. My squaw swears we Great White at the Purple Gator in Myrtle Beach in early / mid 90’s but I don’t remember. It’s not because they weren’t good, it’s just I was Bad.

You need to fix the volume of your buffer music; it’s way louder than the interview volume. So your listening to the interview, then the buffer music blasts twice as loud. It’s getting annoying!

Hey Jack...Huge fan love all your work..Every time you came to Calgary me and the boys always go.. I have one question any update on your book?

Jimmy Darby KING MACKDADDY KEEP EMMMMM COMING

Still waiting for the follow up interview......

Always thought they relied too heavily on covers....still one of my all time favorite bands though 🤘🏼

When did he start looking like Joe Walsh?

Cool cat

Is it me or Jack Russell turning into Joe Walsh?

THIS dude. This guy has been through some shit - and I mean life changing/character building SHIT. Some of his own fault, some life's cruel card dealt. Not a big GW fan, myself (though it was the era I came of age , and I love 80's RnR) - but I respect this guy. Rock on , Jack .

Hey jack, some day I wish to speak to you face to face!! And apologize to you man to man for the things that I said to you that night in Rhode Island. I grabbed you by the shoulders and laid some blame on you that you never deserved!! Someday sir..fate will cross our paths again and I will have the opportunity to shake your hand and apologize. If your willing to hear it!

I thought they shined better as they got on. Hooked, Psycho City, Sail Away. Had a talent for writing excellent songs.

The one that sounds more like Robert Plant than Robert Plant.

great

I love Jack, but you can't blame the other original members for not wanting to play wirh him currently.

I saw Great White open for Judas Priest. I had no idea who they were. Thought they were good though. Hooked and Psycho City are my fav albums.

Great bad live or on tape...seen them in 88/89

Great band, Saw them twice within four months(it never happened in my 30 years of concert goer to see twice a band within even a 2 years period)in the city I was born. First time they were opening for the Alice Cooper Trashes the World tour then months later they were back to open for the Scorpions on their Crazy World tour. Their show with Alice was a mess, too nervous about playing an area I guess,Jack was drunk and stupid out of his ass,Kendall was class as always. But!! when they opened for Scorpions,fucking christ they were good and professional, Jack was another guy then. Some who did not know about the band thought Great White had a new singer,lol Remember it was the Hooked album era and Jack had this wide blouse and bandana look and all tanned. When opening for Alice he looked like a drunk tank runaway.

great white without jack is just a name without a meaning...

dudes...figure out how to somewhat balance the interview volume with the theme music ffs.

I want to hear about the fire

Won't why me and my wife are big fans but I had a chance to meet Jack during his big drug days back in the early 90's and he was a jerk off. It always sucks when you meet one of your heroes and hes a drug-addled loser who is at the same time mean as hell.

Pretty Good White-ish

Interesting that he doesn’t mention that Face The Day is a cover of an Angels song (Australian band) he just over emphasises his own importance. Again.

What year was this interview?

Kinda reminds me of Joe Walsh

Why is it that all these ageing ‘80’s Hair Metal guys are looking like Brett Michaels, with the bandana and the same facial hair?

I bought tickets to see Great White at Hobart arena in 2018 or 2019 don't quite remember. Got to the show because in the advertisement it had a picture of Jack Russell as the singer of Great White. Within 2 minutes of the show I realized that the vocalist was not Russell. I was so upset. Left the stadium immediately. What a ripoff. Got cheated out of my money. Was thoroughly aggravated about it. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!!

Will never forget RI. Sorry not sorry. You all should have known better.
