I love they way you guys are banging your heads along to it....that's EXACTLY the way I listened to it at 13 years old and that's the way I STILL listen to it at 50 years old! Still one of the greatest songs in Rock n Roll! RIP JACK RUSSELL your music will live on forever.
@@MummyBrown OMG!! After all these years to hear someone mention Krokus, so awesome!! Screaming in the Night! I was so obsessed with that song! Still love them!! Rock on my fellow metal head!! 🤘
Mark Kendall is one of the most underrated guitarists in the world. His ability to deliver a blues flare with a metal sound...I've never heard it from anyone else. Fn amazing talent.
Speaking of Ian Hunter... We could request a before / after for Ships. Barry Manilow vs Ian Of course, we could request Once Bitten, Twice Shy. Ian's live version from Welcome to the Club. I will look for a version of Great White.
@@JoeWilger, I only know of him, because of hearing, years back, that he's the original artist, for that song. I don't know anything else by Ian Hunter. He and Barry Manilow each sang a version of a song, too?
Once Bitten Twice Shy is total crap, it's one of those songs where I can't change the station fast enough....along with anything by Poizon. Otherwise Great White rocks.
@@RayfordRaySiegel Cleveland Rocks (Drew Carey Show Theme) is an Ian Hunter song. th-cam.com/video/oKDjis1fg8E/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AdmiralTitanEntertainment
Great White IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH of over 100 people in The Station Nightclub fire in Rhode Island. Their manager had pyrotechnics set of when he was told NO by the club and town. They are NOT under rated they are murdering drug addicts that can rot in hell!!!!!! Under rated grow a brain and get some taste dummies!!!!! Must be drug addicts too!
@@alishatoleu4062: It's been said his voice is like Led Zepplin's Robert Plant.... Greatest hard rock song EVER!! It's a travesty most of today's music has come to the SOULLESS, EMOTIONLESS puke the rappers and pop artists spit out now.
Great White was one of the more underrated bands of the 80's. They did ok, and had modest success, but they deserved to be top tear. Definitely one of the bands that had a lot more blues influence in their music than other hair bands. Want to check out something really bluesy from them, try "Mista Bone." As many others have mentioned already, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" is a must. Great White will always have a special place for me as they helped kick off what was probably the most fun week of my life way back in 1989. Saw them and Tesla in concert on Sunday, got a new girlfriend on Wednesday, and won the state football championship on Saturday. On a side note, if you want to check out something else bluesy by another band you love, try "Ride On" by AC/DC. I think you'll love it.
Was an absolute tragedy when the pyro accident inside a nightclub happened several years back . You guys want to hear brilliance by this band you have got to react to Once Bitten Twice Shy. J you'll love the use of piano in a definite Rock song.
I live in CT. and was out the door going to go to the show but it was snowing that night and all the usual suspects I usually went to shows with were busy , So I walked back in the house and said nope I'm not driving by myself to R.I. in the snow tonight and saw later on the news what went down . We used to go to shows at all those clubs in R.I. like the Station/Strand/ and Lupo's all the time back then what a crazy tragedy .
@@riocannistrano756 I worked as a Stagehand at a venue that can hold up to 20k people. As a Stagehand first rule is no pyro if the venue isn't big enough to be utilized safely. I have seen and heard too many horror stories at this point and just refuse to go to another concert ever. 12yrs as a Stagehand , 20yrs in concert promotions , was in a band for 8 of those 20 , and have done some internet radio as well. So you know it's bad when I would have to get paid to be there and not talking chump change either
It's a shame you reacted to the shortened version of this song. The full length is so much better. And here are a few other classic Great White you should react to ... 1: Old Rose Motel 2: House Of Broken Love 3: Face The Day 4: Afterglow
More, Great White: Save Your Love Lady Red Light House of Broken Love (LONG VERSION!) Baby's on Fire The Angel Song Fun fact: Great White is (Mark Kendall) the Lead Guitarist's nickname for his platinum blonde hair.
Mista Bone is one of their greatest songs ever! I'd place the main riff in that song high on my list of all time favorites...just some heavy, nasty blues...
This is one of the sexiest songs ever! It’s purely the music more than the lyrics. Feel lucky that I had the opportunity to see them in concert a few times, small venues which are the best
And yet another majorly underrated band. Their library includes a slew of blues rock ballads. May I suggest "The Angel Song", "Save You Love", "Maybe Tomorrow" or "Love Is A Lie".
Lady red light is a great song for sure......funny how ya forget all the great rock and roll of the 80s and 90s........soooooo much good music and c9ncerts ya kind a remmember
Their album "Hooked" is a great listen from first song to the last. They never became really huge but I really like their bluesy rock sound. My favorites from them...Once Bitten, Twice Shy...Can't Shake It...The Original Queen of Sheba.
Yeah, Hooked had a nice flow. You'd have fun songs like South Bay Cities and Cold Hearted Lovin, good ballads like Afterglow and Lovin Kind and straight ahead rockers - can't shake it, sheeba and desert moon. It came out in 91, when grunge was taking over, so it never stood a chance to be huge
Being born in the late 70s growing up in the 80s I wasn’t much into music until late 80s or into the 90s. I liked them all as far as rock but for some reason this band just really had my attention. I always loved Great White. Of course their main well known song is Once Bitten Twice Shy but they have other greats like this one and The Angel Song or Mista Bone. Get yourselves down this rabbit hole again soon!
It's interesting that this reaction came right after your Cinderella reaction, because like them, Great White also had much more of a blues-rock, '70s rock, sound than most other hard rock bands of the '80s. Cinderella were massively successful, while Great White had a dedicated fanbase but were not quite as commercially huge. They had hits but deserved much more success. Their '80s music has aged well!
There were several great bands from the 80's with the the word white in their name. Whitesnake...Great White...and my favorite...White Lion . White Lions song "Wait" is definitely worth a reaction , y'all should give them a listen. At the very least it would give J a chance to ring the new artist bell.
Michael Wagner who produced records for most of the 80’s glam and rock bands including great white and white lion said that even with George lynch and Eddie Van Halen (RIP) being in his top 5 favorite guitarists he’s ever worked with, that the only way he’d ever come out of retirement to do another record was of Vito bratta ( guitar player for white lion) agreed to get the band back together and do a record. some of the solos that made it on the records were just his warm up takes before they went about really trying to record them the man’s incredible on the guitar
@@patriciaschoedler8360 The club owners and the band's manager were found guilty of negligence. Jack Russel was put on trial but found not guilty, if memory serves.
I jumped to click when I saw the title. So glad you found this one! When White Snake hit and this came out, it was one of my favorite ever reach-to-crank-the-volume songs. Love how it rolls through low, slow, seductive to rockin', and round again.
I was so excited to see you finally reacting to this!! They are such an underrated band. Next on your journey with Great White...Once Bitten Twice Shy!! It won't disappoint 🙌
Outstanding band, Mark Kendall is the guitar player in the and Jack Russell is one of the bluesiest singers of the era. You definitely need to see their cover of Once Bitten Twice Shy, banging song, Call It Rock n Roll is another good one too.
Sleazy Bluesy!! (& that is meant as the ultimate compliment). Vocalist Jack Russell, ( that’s really his name, like the dog), has a tremendous range. And the rest of this band is criminally underrated. They got pigeon holed as just another hair band. And the tragic fire in Rhode Island derailed their trajectory. House of Broken Love is another Fantastic song. They also do a Zeppelin tribute album that is the best I’ve ever heard.
I always thought Great White were a decent band but I’m from the Rhode Island area and the Station fire happened there. So I find it hard to listen to them anymore. I don’t really blame the band for the fire, it was a terrible accident. I know people who went to the show. This is probably the first time I’ve heard them since the fire. You both did a great reaction and I think it was a great step that I could watch the reaction without getting upset. Thank you for that.
I have downloaded the footage of when the fire started above the Drummer’s Alcove due to flammable soundproofing foam to when the whole building was fully involved. I only watched it once and it gave me PTSD because of the people. I a, only keeping the footage because I want to figure out a way to stop these tragic deadly fires from happening and I need an example to shake lawmakers, communities to say no more code violations due to bribes and exemptions. In 1940’s the Coconut Grove in Boston, in 1977 the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky, in 1980 the MGM Hotel & Casino (Now Bally’s) in Las Vegas, Nevada, I forget the Nightclub name that caught fire that killed many in Alberta, Canada in 1983, a nightclub in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1985 that was set on fire killing many, The Station Night-club fire in 2003 in Warwick, Rhode Island, then in 2016 in California recently at a makeshift nightclub in an old warehouse.
Great White is great band from the 80's. My favorite song is probably most people's. " Once Bitten, Twice Shy ". It's a song that is a must to react too!!!
You don't want to use the word FIRE around Great White. In 2003, a venue fire killed 100 concert attendees. The pyrotechnics set the small club on Fire and even one of the band members died. It was a horrible tragedy that scarred the band to this day
Great White was one of my favorite bands back in the day. I had already seen them several times when the day before they played The Station I called my clubbing buddy to see if he wanted to go. He recently had his first child and his wife was away for work so he decided no because finding a baby sitter etc.. Seeing how I seen them already and it was on a work night I stayed home to. I heard about the fire the next morning on the way to work and in the 40 minutes or so drive the death toll more then doubled. I have friends who were there that made it out and some who didn't. I had been there many many times and new the staff fairly well. One of my friends helped do the sound for a lot of the bands that played there and i'd stay after closing and help him wrap up the equipment. I even carried out Blue Oyster Cult's guitar speaker cabinets for them lol. Sadly Great Whites music used to be a source of pleasure but now it's more a remembrance of pain.
Was going to say the same. Had to scroll a bit to see a mention of it. I know they don't know about it but it's worthy of a title edit. Such a sad event.
Love the reaction, and the song is fantastic. Just a suggestion but when choosing a song version always pick the longest version. Unfortunately radio edits were a thing in the 80's and 90's, and they pretty much always did a disservice to the song. Great reaction, next Great White reactions need to be House of Broken Love, Lady Red Light, The Angel Song, and GW's Led Zeppelin cover of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Great song! Fun fact, Great White started out as a Led Zep cover band. They've put out a few live Zep albums that are truly awesome! Love your reviews! Keep rocking! ❤️🙌
Yes, you finally did some Great White. Loved the reaction, J and Amber. Knew you would like it. Great White is one of my top three 80s "hair" bands -- Dokken and Tesla being the other two. Great White have this great blues-influenced hard-rockin' sound. The "white Slash" is Mark Kendall, a great blues-influenced guitarist and nice guy -- I visited with him about ten years ago after a GW concert. The vocalist is Jack Russell, one of the great voices of the genre. The talented Michael Lardie is guitarist, keyboards, piano, harmonica, and song writer. Tony Montana was the bassist at this time. And Audie Desbrow is the one settin' off the drums. For a heavy blues rocker check out "House of Broken Love" (1989) -- their live performance of it at the 1990 American Music Awards is good version. Good examples of their rockers are "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" (1989), "All Over Now" (1987), "Call It Rock N Roll" (1991), and "Step On You" (1992). You will love their ballads: "Save All Your Love" (1987), "She Only" (1989), "Lovin' Kind" (1991), and "Maybe Some Day" (1992). The "must listens", though, are "The Angel Song" (1989) and "A Short Overture/Mother's Eyes" (1994). Enjoy watching your reactions, J and Amber.
That "white Slash" is the underrated Mark Kendall on lead guitar! Great blues guitarist who had some electric solos in the catalogue of the band. Also, the lead singer, we must mention, is the very much underrated singer, Jack Russell. You may or may not be able to remember Great White as the band who had the tragic Rhode Island fire. Also, very important to note, Great White, before they had their own album, were a Led Zeppelin tribute band in the 80s. Jack Russell sound VERY MUCH like Robert Plant, and when singing Zeppelin, can sound nearly identical. I believe I was the one who suggested Great White's Rock Me, and I don't know if anyone else did as well, but I'm shocked you went with a song I suggested!
There are some bands that stood above the so called "hair metal" scene, even though they were considerd part of it, and this is one of them. One of the best concerts I ever saw was Great White co-headlining with Tesla in '89, and Badlands opening for them. Tesla and Badlands are two more you should check out, especially Badlands, since nobody ever reacts to them. Try "Winter's Call", "Streets Cry Freedom" or "Devil's Stomp".
Hey Guys. I'm loving your 80's metal reactions today but, I can't watch this video, or any from this band. To many bad memories. Back in 2003, I went to see them live in Rhode Island. A few minutes into the show, the Pyro they used, set off a fire. It spread rapidly, and within minutes, the venue was almost completely engulfed. I was late to the show, and was near the back of the crowd. I was lucky enough to escape relatively unscathed. Only minor injuries from being pushed and stepped on. Not to mention the ptsd. However, about a hundred or so died as a result, and hundreds more injured. So forgive me if I pass on this one. May those who lost their lives that night, rest in peace. 😢💔
*I loved it when Amber got all happy...when the drummer got all CHUNKY with it. There's a few more by them that are "MUST REACT TO" songs. Try these for starters: House of Broken Love__Save Your Love__Once Bitten Twice Shy. They were really good Live.*
You are not kidding, that is the real deal. Also same song from Page/Plant 1998 at the Amnesty International charity concert, It has one of Jimmy Page's best solos and Robert Plant is caught gazing at him in wonder at one point. If they think they have heard really great guitar since reacting to rock, they need to hear and see this, it will blow their minds!

@@gregorykenfield3134 Dennis DeYoung did have a hit called “Desert Moon”. Great White also has a song named “Desert Moon”, even though I’m not familiar with it. The only thing I know about Great White’s “Desert Moon” is that they were playing it when the infamous fire started.
Oh yeah...my playlist is full of Great White songs. They remind me of being on a boat sipping wine coolers in the 80s during summertime. All the suggestions here for them are great, but I don't think anyone has requested "maybe someday" from them. It's super bluesy...they're a bluesy rock band with Zeppelin-like stylings. They even did an album covering all Led Zeppelin songs.
RIP Jack Russell 🙏
This band was awesome live. Jack was a great frontman full of personality and one hell of a voice.
I love they way you guys are banging your heads along to it....that's EXACTLY the way I listened to it at 13 years old and that's the way I STILL listen to it at 50 years old! Still one of the greatest songs in Rock n Roll! RIP JACK RUSSELL your music will live on forever.
Great white was very underrated. They also did one of the greatest power ballads of the 80s, "Save your Love"
Thanks brother! I forgot about that beautiful song.
Yes! One of The Best!!!!!
Save Your Love is killer!!!
That's a song I love.
"Love Is a Lie"..."Maybe Someday"..."Lovin' Kind"...and so many others that radio never played!! 👈💯🔥🔥🎶🤟
Rest in Peace, Jack Russell. An amazing singer, song writer. 🙏
In my opinion, probably one of the MOST criminally underrated bands of the 80's "hair metal" era.
Amén to that
And Kix!!
And Krokus!!
Y & T
@@MummyBrown OMG!! After all these years to hear someone mention Krokus, so awesome!! Screaming in the Night! I was so obsessed with that song! Still love them!! Rock on my fellow metal head!! 🤘
"House of Broken Love" is a great bluesy song by them. You should do that one next.
That is my all time favorite song of Great White. House of Broken Love is AMAZING!!!!
My favorite Great White song.
Lady Red light, Street Killer, Old Rose Motel, Save All Your Love, Stick It. Face the Day for a few more.
Yes, Yes, YES!! A great blues song.
Yes, great suggestion!!!

Great White is also well known for a cover of "Once Bitten Twice Shy", a cover of the song, by Ian Hunter.

:Mista Bone" is sick......i would also throw "Face the Day" in there.

Fastway, Kingdom Come, Cinderella, Bon era Ac/Dc early Vanhalen, Bullet Boys, there was a few 80s band rocking with the blues vibe. 🤘🤘
RIP Jack Russell
Welcome to one of the most underrated and under appreaciated rock bands of the 80s. Enjoy the ride.
I loved when he called the guitarist a white Slash hahah
Mark Kendall is the guitar player. He has a real blues edge. Love Grest White and Kendall’s work with them. Wore out their first and second albums.
Mark Kendall is fucking crazy brotha!! I still love my CC Deville but I will say Mark Kendall would be my first if there was no CC
My top 3 fav. band when I was like 13. Born in 72. Glad you appreciated it guys. Take care.
Freshman year Def Leppard with Tesla and Great White opened. One of the greatest 80s lineups ever!
This should the lineup to tour for the rest of their lives...
I seen that concert it was great
Wow
RIP Jack Russel!!!
You need to hear the long studio version of this song different lyrics too
Agreed. Wayyyyyy better.
It is so fun watching you guys see a band for the first time, that I have listened to for 40 years.
I love Great White! Once Bitten Twice Shy, Save Your Love, House Of Broken Love...Great songs.
Next stop..."Once Bitten Twice Shy" & their love ballad "Save Your Love",....beautiful!!!
This feels like it pairs well with Nobody's Fool, good choice. Another band this makes me think of is Kix, especially their hit Don't Close Your Eyes.
Cold Blood is a better song by Kix , imho
Save all your love , Lady red light , Big goodbye ,Freedom song , Rolling stoned ,Call it rock n roll , Mistreater . All great songs
Was an absolute tragedy when the pyro accident inside a nightclub happened several years back .

1: Old Rose Motel
2: House Of Broken Love
3: Face The Day
4: Afterglow
How can you not have one of their biggest hits which was Save your love!
It's been one year!!! Let's hear some more Great White!!! House of Broken love!!!
This is one of my favorite songs by great white. If you listen closely the band highlights every single instrument.
More, Great White:
Save Your Love
Lady Red Light
House of Broken Love (LONG VERSION!)
Baby's on Fire
The Angel Song
Fun fact: Great White is (Mark Kendall) the Lead Guitarist's nickname for his platinum blonde hair.
Hose of Broken Love, extended version, YES! That song is fire, great mood.
saw them in concert in late 80's! loved great white one of my favorite bands from my beloved 80s!
Mista Bone is one of their greatest songs ever! I'd place the main riff in that song high on my list of all time favorites...just some heavy, nasty blues...

Once bitten twice shy, KILLER song, great lyrics, gotta listen to it
"Save All Your Live" HAS TO BE THE NEXT ONE by them!!!!!! No Great White fan doesn't have that song in their top 10 All Time Favorites!!!
They Rock. One of my favorites.
One of the greatest rock albums ever. Every song is killer
One of the greatest rock bands ever there albums from 87 to 92 are just great live the psycho city record and hooked
This is one of the sexiest songs ever! It’s purely the music more than the lyrics. Feel lucky that I had the opportunity to see them in concert a few times, small venues which are the best
Great White - “Love Is A Lie (full album version)” may be one of the best rock ballads ever written
And yet another majorly underrated band. Their library includes a slew of blues rock ballads. May I suggest "The Angel Song", "Save You Love", "Maybe Tomorrow" or "Love Is A Lie".
GREAT song, next song to check out by Great White, " Lady Red Light"
Yessssss ☺️
Lady red light is a great song for sure......funny how ya forget all the great rock and roll of the 80s and 90s........soooooo much good music and c9ncerts ya kind a remmember
One of Mark’s best solos in that one!
@@sirloin6662 absolutely

Indeed - the guitar solo in “Wait” is still one of my favorites, and I’m 53, so I’ve heard A LOT of solos. 😂
Michael Wagner who produced records for most of the 80’s glam and rock bands including great white and white lion said that even with George lynch and Eddie Van Halen (RIP) being in his top 5 favorite guitarists he’s ever worked with, that the only way he’d ever come out of retirement to do another record was of Vito bratta ( guitar player for white lion) agreed to get the band back together and do a record. some of the solos that made it on the records were just his warm up takes before they went about really trying to record them the man’s incredible on the guitar
If only Whitesnake wasn't from the 70s and 3/5ths of the band Deep Purple, Mach 3...then maybe you wouldn't be so full of shit
House of broken love, save your love, mista bone, once bitten twice shy, all awesome songs, this band was terribly underrated!
Knowing of the tragedy that happened at a small venue show in Rhode Island, that tagline hits different, Jay.
Yup. I lived next to the hospitals they were being flown into all night in Boston. I'll never forget it.
Innocently painful title.
It's very unfortunate that I will forever think of The Station nightclub fire with any mention of Great White.
😢
Will always have a soft spot in my heart for Great White...they were victims of that fire just like everyone else...

Outstanding band, Mark Kendall is the guitar player in the and Jack Russell is one of the bluesiest singers of the era. You definitely need to see their cover of Once Bitten Twice Shy, banging song, Call It Rock n Roll is another good one too.
The first time I heard his voice I thought somehow Robert Plant and Klaus Meine produced an offspring.😁
another one of the Mainstays of the blessed 80s metal/ rock generation.
love y'all RSR
Sleazy Bluesy!! (& that is meant as the ultimate compliment). Vocalist Jack Russell, ( that’s really his name, like the dog), has a tremendous range. And the rest of this band is criminally underrated. They got pigeon holed as just another hair band. And the tragic fire in Rhode Island derailed their trajectory. House of Broken Love is another Fantastic song. They also do a Zeppelin tribute album that is the best I’ve ever heard.
Great Whites ballad “Save Your Love” is in my top 10 greatest rock ballads of all time.
I always thought Great White were a decent band but I’m from the Rhode Island area and the Station fire happened there. So I find it hard to listen to them anymore. I don’t really blame the band for the fire, it was a terrible accident. I know people who went to the show. This is probably the first time I’ve heard them since the fire. You both did a great reaction and I think it was a great step that I could watch the reaction without getting upset. Thank you for that.
Alot of people had/have trouble listening to The Who after Cincinnati. No excuses neccessary, good sir.
It was actually the managers fault as well as the club owner.
Very understandable comment.
@@lindenarden667 Nine times as many people died at the Great White show, which was in a small club.
I have downloaded the footage of when the fire started above the Drummer’s Alcove due to flammable soundproofing foam to when the whole building was fully involved. I only watched it once and it gave me PTSD because of the people. I a, only keeping the footage because I want to figure out a way to stop these tragic deadly fires from happening and I need an example to shake lawmakers, communities to say no more code violations due to bribes and exemptions. In 1940’s the Coconut Grove in Boston, in 1977 the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky, in 1980 the MGM Hotel & Casino (Now Bally’s) in Las Vegas, Nevada, I forget the Nightclub name that caught fire that killed many in Alberta, Canada in 1983, a nightclub in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1985 that was set on fire killing many, The Station Night-club fire in 2003 in Warwick, Rhode Island, then in 2016 in California recently at a makeshift nightclub in an old warehouse.
Save Your Love, Lady Red Light, & The Big Goodbye are my personal favorites.
Love me some Great White, got started with the Once Bitten album. Love the entire albums of once bitten, twice shy, and hooked.
Heavy Metal guitar when I was younger was phenomenal
Now you _GOTTA_ do "House of Broken Love".
Mista Bone, Twice Shy and so many more. Great musicians and awesome band. The 80's how I miss you...
Their biggest song was Once bitten ,Twice Shy.
Lead singer here is Jack Russell.
That's some GREAT 80's rock right there!!! Lots of great memories, while hearing this song!
Great White is great band from the 80's. My favorite song is probably most people's. " Once Bitten, Twice Shy ". It's a song that is a must to react too!!!
Save your love. A must listen from this band.
You don't want to use the word FIRE around Great White. In 2003, a venue fire killed 100 concert attendees. The pyrotechnics set the small club on Fire and even one of the band members died. It was a horrible tragedy that scarred the band to this day
It was very sad, I remember hearing about it
Great White was one of my favorite bands back in the day. I had already seen them several times when the day before they played The Station I called my clubbing buddy to see if he wanted to go. He recently had his first child and his wife was away for work so he decided no because finding a baby sitter etc.. Seeing how I seen them already and it was on a work night I stayed home to. I heard about the fire the next morning on the way to work and in the 40 minutes or so drive the death toll more then doubled. I have friends who were there that made it out and some who didn't. I had been there many many times and new the staff fairly well. One of my friends helped do the sound for a lot of the bands that played there and i'd stay after closing and help him wrap up the equipment. I even carried out Blue Oyster Cult's guitar speaker cabinets for them lol. Sadly Great Whites music used to be a source of pleasure but now it's more a remembrance of pain.
Was going to say the same. Had to scroll a bit to see a mention of it. I know they don't know about it but it's worthy of a title edit. Such a sad event.
They are so underrated! Love me some Great White!
Now, you need to listen to Kingdom Come-Get it On and What Love Can Be is a beautiful ballad. Great White’s Led Zepplin covers are worth a listen 😎🖖🏻
I went to see White Snake and Great White opened. I was extremely impressed. Been a big fan ever since.
Love the reaction, and the song is fantastic. Just a suggestion but when choosing a song version always pick the longest version. Unfortunately radio edits were a thing in the 80's and 90's, and they pretty much always did a disservice to the song. Great reaction, next Great White reactions need to be House of Broken Love, Lady Red Light, The Angel Song, and GW's Led Zeppelin cover of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
The radio edit on this really strips away what really made this song so great.
@@mikegibbons7763 so true
@@mikegibbons7763 It was butchered.
Agreed the original album version is much better than this !
Hope they redux with the longer version.
Great song! Fun fact, Great White started out as a Led Zep cover band. They've put out a few live Zep albums that are truly awesome! Love your reviews! Keep rocking! ❤️🙌
It's said way too often, but this band is truly underrated. Need more. 🇺🇲🤘
I saw great white twice once in the 80s and once in the 90s. The guitar player on this song was badass man he was really awesome!
Great white has been described as blues with balls.
Their song, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" is my fav! It's definitely a vibe
house of broken love is by far their best song
Amber! You are a trip, LOVE your smile and head swaying.
I saw this band with The Scorpions in Philly in the early 90's. What a concert. It's so sad what happened to them.
Yes, you finally did some Great White. Loved the reaction, J and Amber. Knew you would like it. Great White is one of my top three 80s "hair" bands -- Dokken and Tesla being the other two. Great White have this great blues-influenced hard-rockin' sound. The "white Slash" is Mark Kendall, a great blues-influenced guitarist and nice guy -- I visited with him about ten years ago after a GW concert. The vocalist is Jack Russell, one of the great voices of the genre. The talented Michael Lardie is guitarist, keyboards, piano, harmonica, and song writer. Tony Montana was the bassist at this time. And Audie Desbrow is the one settin' off the drums.
For a heavy blues rocker check out "House of Broken Love" (1989) -- their live performance of it at the 1990 American Music Awards is good version. Good examples of their rockers are "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" (1989), "All Over Now" (1987), "Call It Rock N Roll" (1991), and "Step On You" (1992). You will love their ballads: "Save All Your Love" (1987), "She Only" (1989), "Lovin' Kind" (1991), and "Maybe Some Day" (1992). The "must listens", though, are "The Angel Song" (1989) and "A Short Overture/Mother's Eyes" (1994). Enjoy watching your reactions, J and Amber.
That "white Slash" is the underrated Mark Kendall on lead guitar! Great blues guitarist who had some electric solos in the catalogue of the band. Also, the lead singer, we must mention, is the very much underrated singer, Jack Russell. You may or may not be able to remember Great White as the band who had the tragic Rhode Island fire.
Also, very important to note, Great White, before they had their own album, were a Led Zeppelin tribute band in the 80s. Jack Russell sound VERY MUCH like Robert Plant, and when singing Zeppelin, can sound nearly identical.
I believe I was the one who suggested Great White's Rock Me, and I don't know if anyone else did as well, but I'm shocked you went with a song I suggested!
Love Great White, seen then a couple times in concert. It's such a tragedy what happened in RI. RIP
There are some bands that stood above the so called "hair metal" scene, even though they were considerd part of it, and this is one of them. One of the best concerts I ever saw was Great White co-headlining with Tesla in '89, and Badlands opening for them. Tesla and Badlands are two more you should check out, especially Badlands, since nobody ever reacts to them. Try "Winter's Call", "Streets Cry Freedom" or "Devil's Stomp".
I saw that concert as well. Most people had never heard of Badlands
Used to wait for hours till MTV got to this one. LOVE it. Got something for everyone in there. Rockin vocal. ☮️ to all.
Hey Guys. I'm loving your 80's metal reactions today but, I can't watch this video, or any from this band. To many bad memories. Back in 2003, I went to see them live in Rhode Island. A few minutes into the show, the Pyro they used, set off a fire. It spread rapidly, and within minutes, the venue was almost completely engulfed. I was late to the show, and was near the back of the crowd. I was lucky enough to escape relatively unscathed. Only minor injuries from being pushed and stepped on. Not to mention the ptsd.
However, about a hundred or so died as a result, and hundreds more injured. So forgive me if I pass on this one. May those who lost their lives that night, rest in peace. 😢💔
Great White - "Save Your Love" .. is another listen worthy song.
So good to see appreciation for 80's rock. These guys were some of the best!!!
*I loved it when Amber got all happy...when the drummer got all CHUNKY with it. There's a few more by them that are "MUST REACT TO" songs. Try these for starters: House of Broken Love__Save Your Love__Once Bitten Twice Shy. They were really good Live.*
I "LIKED & SUBSCRIBED!"... Welcome to GREAT WHITE!
You guys should check out their cover of Zeppelin's Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, they do an amazing rendition of it.
You are not kidding, that is the real deal. Also same song from Page/Plant 1998 at the Amnesty International charity concert, It has one of Jimmy Page's best solos and Robert Plant is caught gazing at him in wonder at one point. If they think they have heard really great guitar since reacting to rock, they need to hear and see this, it will blow their minds!
Best Zepplein cover ever
hell yeah they did an outstanding remake very awesome job
One of my favorite songs from the 80's for sure!!!
Love love love Great White ! Favorite is Desert Moon, Jack Russell has a great voice. Sadly the band has a rough history.
Wasn't "Desert Moon" a Dennis DeYound song?
@@gregorykenfield3134 no it was written by the band
Tragic!

Let's shake this town baby
Come with me
I need a little lovin' company
C'mon now
I know where we can go
This is the time
T'stay out all night
I've gotta fire
Like a heavenly light
C'mon baby
Let's take a drive
C'mon baby
Let's do it right
Time to dance
In the magic light
Of the desert moon
Come on honey
Let's get it right
Make romance
In the magic light
Of the desert moon
Let's lay it down
Under a cactus tree
Give a little lovin' ecstacy

It's time to go
Little baby
You're a beautiful sight
I've got the love
And we have the night
C'mon baby
It's time to fly

@@gregorykenfield3134 Dennis DeYoung did have a hit called “Desert Moon”.
Great White also has a song named “Desert Moon”, even though I’m not familiar with it. The only thing I know about Great White’s “Desert Moon” is that they were playing it when the infamous fire started.
My personal favorite song of Great White's is a slow one, piano heavy, called "The Angel Song". Just a beautiful song.
Oh yeah...my playlist is full of Great White songs. They remind me of being on a boat sipping wine coolers in the 80s during summertime. All the suggestions here for them are great, but I don't think anyone has requested "maybe someday" from them. It's super bluesy...they're a bluesy rock band with Zeppelin-like stylings. They even did an album covering all Led Zeppelin songs.
I got to see Great White & Cinderella as the opening bands for KISS in the early 90s. 🤘. Awesome concert!!
Oooff...that "This is fire!" tagline hits a bit too close to home for this group.
I LOVE watchin y’all react and love what we grew up on!!!!!!! Y’all need to hear the unedited version of this song!!!!!!
💕💕💕🎶💕💕💕💕 love his voice. Other songs by them Save All Your Love and Once Bitten Twice Shy.
Also House of Broken Love and All Over Now. 😁👍🏻🎶💕
LOVE THIS BAND!
Fire was a poor choice of words! Been almost 20 years, and that night still haunts people. Lost a co-worker in that fire :/
Yea, I was surprised to see that title. They obviously don't know about the fire...
