Worst ever lyrics (bonus points for being the chorus as well) "Oh, wham bam, oh Amsterdam (Yeah yeah yeah)" Closely followed a line later by: "Woo! Hot damn, roll an Amsterdam (Yeah yeah yeah)" Say what you want about DLR, but Sammy has wrote some absolute shit lyrics in his time, this being the worst. I like Sammy, don't get me wrong, but he's no lyrical genius.

Excellent news. I think Vic Rivera is hugely underrated. His work with Ted Poley was top notch imho. Can't wait to hear some new stuff.

You do realise the pyro you are talking about are basically giant sparklers, right? No flames. The foam was not fire retardant, but should have been. Whose to say he Great White camp were told it was? You also have a misconception if you think band members inspect venues or clubs. In most clubs they even stay in their tour bus until show time. If the first time they see the place is when t

There was a Kiss tribute band that were interviewed after the tragedy that played the club many times and always used pyro, more than was used that night. Obviously the owners thought it was ok and safe. They also told the fire department the foam was fire retardant. I guess that is why hey were charged and found guilty.

If jack hadn't inspected the venue, how should he know better. That is the band's manager and the venue operators job. How many times do you have to be told this. There is no evidence In your 15 minutes of research that the band ever saw the venue prior to going on stage. They may not have done a sound check if they were using the club's sound system. The we're two parties that should have kn

Like I said previously, bale is a multi-millionaire. Great White were playing clubs for god's sake. How do you expect them to stick around, take up residence, and support the families. It would be a nice gesture, but is totally unrealistic. If you compare the two, bale could afford to do as much as he wanted, Great White probably didn't have that luxury.

15 minutes searching the Internet is not research. There are many on here that know a lot more than you do on this subject. The old melodicrock forum had long threads on the subject, but is long gone. You are making yourself look silly by continuing debating this. Look at the thread and see how much support you have. Those that have tried to correct or inform you have been ignored or disregar

Agree with you Laurent. The Bale/Batman tragedy shouldn't be used as a comparable scenario. Bale is paid millions per film and the Batman film grossed over a billion dollars. He, and the studio, could afford to do as much as possible to help ease the pain of the families affected by the tragedy. In comparison the members Great White at the time were playing the club circuit and had to fin

For those that don't know, it was to check that the venue owner/operator had checked the rider properly. If they couldn't provide a bowl full of M&M's, minus the brown ones, that meant they hadn't read the rider properly. How can you trust them to make sure tons of lighting secured to the ceiling isn't going to come crashing down if they didn't read the rider properly and ensure the weight

So are you equally as pissed off at Mark Kendall. He was there too and claims to own the name "Great White" and that it is his band. Are you all over his case as well? I'm not being harsh or making light of a very horrible tragedy, but to think that a musician on the road goes out and inspects every venue, every night of a tour is ludicrous. That is what the road crew and manager

I don't think you can blame Frontiers on this one. I believe the production and engineering was handled by Lardie and Kendall. If they felt it was shit they would have never handed it over. Regardless, the album is not good and not the Great White I grew up with and loved. No amount of remixing, glitter or shine is going to change the songs, which in my opinion are poor. Rename the band or

Turbo was just too reliant on the guitar synthesizers. Maybe test the waters on a couple of tracks, but they immersed it. Quite a drasitc change from Defenders of the Faith to Turbo to Ram It Down.

Nice find. The key thing for me is that they look like they are enjoying themselves. No keeping distance on stage and although some seem determined to promote some sort of smouldering feud ready to ignite at any time it just didn't seem apparent to me. EVH and DLR engage in a very jovial way which is great to see. I'm glad the past is behind them and everyone is healthy. Long live Van Halen

Excellent album. Nice to see a band from 20 years ago can still make an album in the same vein as their classic releases. Phil still has a good voice, unlike some of his counterparts and Tracii's replacement has captured the L.A. Guns sound really well. The production is also very good. Dirty Black Night is my favourite track, good riff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLKlNBswNKA I wo

I've tried to like this album, but can't. There are 2 good songs and that's it. Regardless if it was released as Great White, XYZ, Mark Kendall solo or Terry Ilous solo my opinion would be exactly the same. If they were a new act they would have never been signed or seen this released. Compare it to some of the other quality releases lately (Trixter, etc) and it fails miserably. The sad thin

The only issue I have with the statement is Norum is trying to distance himself from the 80s, but his first couple solo releases and his stints with Dokken aren't too far (musically) from some of the bands he insults. If it wasn't for the 80s no one would know who the fuck he was. I like Norum, I actually have all his solo albums, but the statment he makes seems mis-guided.
