Jack Russel will always be the sound of Great White...period....I am so glad that I lived through the 80s as a teenager and experienced all of that great music...I am very fortunate
Fucking A!🤪

Me, too!
I was never a big metal fan but the older I get the more I am enjoying watching where these bands are at now. I’m glad I grew up then too!
I’m only 17 and will ALWAYS be saddened by the fact I’ll never be able to see these bands as they were in their prime era or to experience anything of the 80’s. It makes me glad that some people like you appreciate those times, I wish my father and many other people appreciated it more, some people don’t realize how great they got it.
@@kc9804 that's understandable as you can't choose when your born,me as a teen in the 80s I saw GW once in 1984. But my best
concert experience was seeing VH in 1981,82,84!😁

There is no Great White without Jack's vocals. Great musicians, but Jack's voice made the band. This teen of the 80s loved their music.
Jack has one of the most magical voices in rock music history
@Trry331
Huh?
So much respect to jack here for the brutal honesty he showed about himself . Addiction is so evil , so glad he finally got clean what a beautiful voice he has
The vocals have always come first for me. If I don't like the singers voice, I don't give the rest of the band a chance.
Great White was one of my all time favorite bands and that's due to Jack's voice.
Great vocalist and a great band that ended way too soon.
me too, I am exactly the same
That is why I dont like the Rolling Stones because I honestly do not like Jaggers voice, the music is honestly good. Many more bands I could bring up but I am just like you, singer is must, a great voice in a great band makes the whole thing
Jack is such a great interview and a great guy. Thanks Jack. Be sure to leave us a comment, like and subscribe!
His voice is up there with Robert Plant, maybe even better.
Hey dude tried to go to your web site to get one of your t shirts but could find it.
Saw Great White 2 years in a row at the "Attic" nightclub met Jack Russell before 2nd concert at La Vista pizzeria which was next door to the club a d Jack was off the tour bus chilling before the show(probably scouting the ECU girls😉) Bobby Blotzer played drums that concert too for some reason Great show!🤘
@@lukebandy516he covered robert plant so good that Plant actually didnt like him for it. Jack has spoken about it before
met jack in salt lake got to chat with him for a bit he sang a bit of love is a lie one of my favorite songs of hi at the end i asked him for his phone number and he gave it to me!!! bi send him text for the holidays and just so grateful for the experience love the interview!!
Jack is the golden voice! Jack is a fucking legend!
I still crank House of Broken Love to this day. One of my favorite songs and videos 🤘
Jack Russell is one of my most favorite singer's of all time. He is so mellow and smooth and could raise his voice so commanding in every way. I loved Great White when he was their vocalist. Noone can replace or replicate his voice in any way. Jack Russell was the man of Great White. I have always loved him and his voice. One of the greatest front men of all time. I love you. Jack Russell. Always have. Robert Spallinger.
Well said❣️Same💯❤️
@@vnette9777 Thank you for your approval.
Great White's music has always been really important for me: helped me true hard times, raised my spirits when the going was good and listening to Jack Russel being so honest about it all is wonderful! Thanks Jack!
80s music will live on because cars, girls, and partying never go out of style.
Yep but unfortunately as we get older we go out of style LOL
Hate to break it to you, but these days kids don't like to drive, EVs are total crap, girls try to look like men and drugs are lethal.... these days suck.
@@am3986 I can't fault you there
@@am3986not all kids depends on their upbringing my son loves to drive and he is 17 and loves hair bands
im 22 and have been listening to great white since i was in the womb. Me and my dad saw them in hollywood and decided to wait in the parking lot after a show just to see if he would eventually come out, and sure enough he did. Dude wasnt even bothered 2 fans were right there to annoy him when he was trying to leave 😂
Jack the beast love great white!!!!!⚡⚡⚡
Teqnicly I am waiting for the rest of the year in the grave post it the right thing to do when I get updated and watch TV for the offer I am doing to check out the remaining stories to come from Jack Russell and Great White and some other one on metal open options before I get worries the best way to describe the big man him self in person he's very nice looking Way down to earth in most popular steps adult and sure of wonder and fresh what is happening sounding clean and adorable I hope he doesn't feel too scared it really try to unlock the motion of president jive truly appreciate your gossip after I put my insurance right on the phone messages here and I will send gorgeous even perfect photo alone with the word of our metal lead special time to get a word from him in the pod group of metal principal I understand and say anything else you need because I always see him when I get ready for the bow Lorrie and Jack Russell tell me what you think Lovett
I saw Great White open for Judas Priest 84 I believe. I had no idea who they were but thought they rocked the house pretty good. I also thought Hooked was a great album along with Psycho City.
Yup, that was 1984. Defenders Of The Faith and Great White S/T tour. I saw that show in St Paul. Back when Great White was trying to be heavy metal. I'm out on the road and I'm rockin', stick it, STICK IT!
One of the best voices of 80s rock and roll. Hooked.....a great album
I will always follow Jack Russell, his voice made the songs!!!
Way back when I was a roadie for a band and we were opening up for Great White. It was at The Troubadour early 80's. Jack did his sound Check and I was right next to him. He had an incredible voice and range. I couldn't act excited at the moment because when you're a roadie for a band you hate everyone else lol.
I remember when the Twice Shy record blew up big and Great White were a household name in the late 80's / early 90's. I formed a power trio my senior year of high school, and one of the tunes we worked up was "House Of Broken Love", which was one of the singles from that record. Then a few years later, GW puts out that live cover album of Led Zeppelin tunes, and I thought to myself, "Jack Russell is the next Robert Plant." Sounds like Robert to a tee! I always loved the prominent bluesy influence in their music. Mark Kendall was one of the most underrated guitarists of his era. Even when grunge, and later nu metal, was reigning huge in the 90's, I still listened to my 80's bands, and Great White was in regular rotation. I never turned my back on the music that got me through some really not-so-bitching times in my life.
Very happy that you were there too Lorrie the music is beautiful
Keep on doing what you do it's great 👍
Always enjoy Russell's interviews... cool guy and I'm glad everyone has stopped hitting him with "the fire" questions... 🙏 RIP to the victims though.
The 1980’s was the perfect time to hit my teenage yrs. Metal was a revolution of sorts. Our fans were loyal to the music and still are! I can listen to Great White and I travel back in my mind to when I was cruising without a care in the world. Just being young. Hanging out with friends. We lived in the best era for music. 70’s(Rock) 80’s (Metal!). Best wishes to Jack. Rob Halford,Jack Russell,Dio! My fav vocalists!
Ohhh yeahhh so loyal 😅😅😅😅😅 in 1991 Ratt plays a show in October nobody was there
I have been a huge Great White fan since before things got crazy for them. This is the Great White I loved so much in this video I am sharing here. Jack and a pack of guys made a band named it great white. The guitarist Mark and drummer are still keeping a band called Great White going and Jack is going in another direction trying to keep it together another way but the singers can't do what Jack did and does. There is only one way, but Mark and Jack wont fix it. I'm going to see them tomorrow. Jack won't be there. Man, ok it will be the end of an era for me. If you liked their raw sound, and are a fan of the beginnings, check this. They kill Since I've been Loving you here. It's fantastic. I saw them in the beginnings in a bar in Cali in 1985. It went on from there for the rest of the 80s and then the fire and the changes - it all changed. Tomorrow will be different without the original (RIP)bassist and the only Great White singer Jack. They have had their tragedies for sure.czcams.com/video/CzQTcvouAuo/video.htmlsi=2kT6CHGo0rqPDFTF.
I am so glad I got to experience what I did in those 80s - Thank you Jack, Mark thank you to a great idea and big sound - being raw and real and memor😅es I will never forget.
I would like to say that with the fame and money Jack is lucky he survived. His addictions could have been his end. His voice is gold man. I would argue the best hard Rock voice around. His classic tribute to Led Zepplin is mind blowing it’s so damn good. I wish things were different and they were still together. Judas Priest is my fav band of all time and Great White is near the top for me. When I listen to their debut album and Once Bitten ect it takes me back in time. I was young ,free and enjoying life . Bottom line thank you Jack for your honesty. You will always be loved by Metal fans.
Psycho city was ana amazing album! I love it. One of my favorites
Jack is an awesome singer!!! Saw him live he did an acoustic set and it sounded just like the record!!!
He sounds just as good now as he did 20 years ago
@@ZKAttack I don't think so. Does Bon Jovi sound the same?
Psycho city was a excellent album. I still have my CD. Great white I still listen to often.
such an honest and kind soul. love how he tells the story, and you just get drawn in. jack is a treasure, and his voice is so warm and rich. perfect for the sound of the band.
Met Jack Russell at an Italian eatery (LaVista) in Greenville,NC they played The Attic that night then came back a yearcor so later onPsycho City Old Rose Motel tour (Bobby Blotzer on drums) on second show just a few weeks before Rhode Island(Station) fire.The club I was at was way over capacity so the firmen and fire Marshal where on site with fire hydrants hooked up and EXIT side doors opened. They kicked ass both concerts and Jack was a real down to eath dude. 🦈🤘
For what it's worth, my favorite band/ songs, very meaningful for me. Thanks you Great White
I was born in 1984 yeh missed the best music decade! Love great white
Jack and Mark were pure magic. I listen to the MTV unplugged every week. As all fans, would love to have them reunited even if it's just a one off farewell concert.
Great white was a great band he is an incredible singer I seen them in 1997 at a small club in bay city, mi.and they were fantastic Jack was incredible ,the band sounded fantastic I would love to see them again
The lead guitarist Robby lochner is my Uncle. Truly happy when he joined Jack. I watched him practice and play all the time growing up. In my eyes nobody is as good as him... NOBODY!!!
Am so glad Jack was able to overcome his demons and nice to see him doing well. I loved Great White when he was in the band. He brought such soulfulness and meaning to the songs. The tragedy of The Station fire was horrible and I always thought that was what ended things for them. I really hope Jack and Mark can work things out between them, seems they both have much respect for each other still. I just watched a video with Mark and he was very respectful to Jack so I really hope they can at least talk. Wishing you both the best ❤
Hooked and Psycho City are Great White's best albums, IMO. Also, Jack Russell has a solo album, Shelter Me, which is really good, you should all check it out.
all the albums you mentioned are amazing
Yes I agree those are my two favorites, maybe someday is my favorite song of theres.
Love you Jack ❤❤❤❤❤
I saw JRs Great white and met Jack & Robby in Salina KS a few years back. Got a stick and pick. Super nice & humble guys. Put on a hell of a good show. Jack's still got the pipes.
Great interview!
Thank you Jack!!!! You did it and did it the best !! That was awesome.
One of my favorite bands of all time !
So looking forward to seeing you in Fort Myers. Fl on Friday, Nov. 18th. My 22 year old son and I are huge fans. 🎸🤘
Don't really know much about the Great White split, but it's too bad it ended up the way it did. Great band! I always thought they had a longevity to their music that would have sustained them. At least Jack owns it and seems happy where he is.
Met these guys BEFORE the White Tour with Whitesnake. They were at a Tower Records store and played a club that night. It was between Once Bitten and Twice Shy. They were cool as hell and gracious. Never got to have that beer, Jack. But it was a great ride, anyway. Thanks, man!
Of all the 1980s hard rock bands, Great White was my favorite from the moment I saw Jack's picture in a BAM magazine, because he wasn't wearing makeup, his hair wasn't in a poodle-do. He was wearing a denim jacket, the sleeves cut off, with a belt buckle that said "Jack" on it. I liked his voice when I heard "Out of the Night" for the first time, but I was really sold on "Rock Me" and "Once Bitten..." I was glad they got as big as they did for a while in the summer/fall of 1989., but it's really when people's tastes changed. I really believe that if it weren't "Grunge," it would have been something else that would have turned the mainstream public's attention. Things change. I wish Jack Russell had been able to stay with Great White. This IS the first time I'd heard his version of how he left that band, that HE had the power to "fire" everybody else. I am so glad to see this and the Part I interview. I appreciate his candor and his humility. And he sounds great and sober in these interviews. I might have to go see his band the next time I'm able.
One of my favorite bands 🤘🤘 nice to hear Jack talk like this. Cause I never knew why the band spilt. But real nice to see the honesty come out of him. Much respect for THAT.
fantastic voice.
I loved Great White in the 80's and love listening to them in 2024 . Even if it's on CZcams. I will ALWAYS love the music from all the bands from those years ❤
Jack and great white... Forever !!!🤘🤘🤘
THE FIRST ALBUM "STICK IT" ROCKED!!!✊🤘
Jack Russell is one of the best rock singers but I'd say his greatest blessing is how kind time has been allowing him to age gracefully while keeping his young look.
Marvelous interview 👌
Brother has gave us some great music, tremendous singer and i want to say thank you and God bless you
Your still the best my brother
Jack really hit home with me hen he said who would have imagined no record stores..... Growing up, the Record Store seemed like the center of me and my friend's lives.... We'd spend hours in there.. It was the place to get connected with other musicians and I remember the excitement of being there to pick up a new album you'd been waiting for a favorite Band to put out... I recall having money in my pocket to buy just one album, and what a tough choice it was sometimes because there were so many great ones available...
Nobody and I mean nobody can touch jack, he is one of a kind. I don't care who tries to be that they just can't touch him. As a singer he is who I aspire to be like. Depth soul feeling unmatched. Love you Jack
Your the man. Always your fan
Michael Brown
Jack you are the man glad to see you doing good
Every time the rest of the band gets a singer and the latest one is amazing sounding mind you, we get to hear from Jack. They're wanting to make a living.
Loved these guys … incredibly good
Great interview
one of my fav bands! like many of the greatest rock bands great white had their own unique sound consisting mainly of Jack's one of a kind vocel sound and certainly that of Kendall's guitar sound and tone, no individual was greater than the whole of the russell-kendall-lardie-desbrow-montana lineup and without that main line-up the magic will never be the same!! take especially either Jack or Mark out the equation and it's NOT Great White and never truly will be without them BOTH being together with that same line-up... All of the albums were solid albums with little filler tracks and that's damn hard to do, and lots of props have to go to Niven for his guidence and co-writing with those guys. i would love to see them get back together but it will more than likely never happen at this point. but when they were together the magic was there and undeniable and you could hear it and feel it and that's what made Great White and the Great White sound-PERIOD!!!
didn't know there was a bad split with these guys. too bad cause they rocked. but i'm sure the dudes workin with ole jack here are likely rockin as well. i was hopin you guys were gonna drop some more content. thanks.
hooked is still one of my favorite Albums
I guess it was towards the end of the 90s when I started seeing Metal bands doing shows again, I was probably just as happy as the actual bands themselves.
If it's 80s metal, it will NEVER see the inside of a recycle bin under my watch, Jack (not Russell).
I'm sorry Jack Russell had LostTy and so many fans and see how scary the fire hurt him and want to say about the seriously disturbing mean pyrotechnics were supposed to accept can't be able to get the public to add up a show with such good times that probably anything else could be ruined with the band of your own happiness Lorrie be safe
Thanks for posting . Good stuff man \\MM// But why has it taken so long to post part 2 of this ???
Hooked is actually my favorite GW album.
amazing album
Yes, always loved jammin to" congo square"!...... 👍👍
Great White - Hooked, Psycho City, Sail Away, Let It Rock all solid albums.
Up there with the elite smooth as silk.
love jacks voice. one of the best of our generation. I'm ecstatic he pointed out the same damn riff on call it rock and roll.. i've always hated that song for THAT reason.
Voice of an angel
Jack lives 10min from me .....saw him in "Cantoros" Italian grocery in Canton Michigan last fall
From the shadow's I speak for you 🤘 not that u need it your voice speaks for it's self be proud of what u accomplished Rock on Jack🤘💫🔥 what a journey not everyone is so blessed even thru tragedy God bless you and yours
Jack Russell still sounds as good as he ever did. He 100% is the voice of Great White. Anyone else singing Great White songs is just bad karaoke. Go see Jack Russell’s Great White, they put on one of the best shows you will ever see, his band members are phenomenal musicians. Their album “He saw it coming”, is some of Jacks best work, every song on the album is fantastic!!! They also did an acoustical album of “Once Bitten”, and it is better than the original, ending with a Led Zeppelin song that shows why no one does Zepplin better than Jack Russell. For all of you complaining about missing out on the 80’s and seeing Jack then, I was there, and I am here now, and I will tell you flat out, Jack and his outstanding band puts on one of the best shows you will ever see!!!!!!
I have the utmost respect for Jack...there was a show in Green Bay years ago...maybe 2013 or 2015...he'd just torn his Achillies earlier that week...but on Friday he sang a whole show from a bar stool on stage and kicked ass...I can't help but think many musicians would've cancelled and been justified doing so...but not Jack...I was always a fan, but I'll be a fan for life after that...regarding the break up...w/the substance abuse and so forth was it justified...probably and that's what Jack confirmed...but as you can see following Great White since...I think Great White has a Mark Kendall problem...not a (insert this month's singer here) problem
Yep, drove to wheeling WV to see him around that same time,sat there & sang on that stool! Sounded great inside the casino 👍👍
Didn't even mention the tragedy that really screwed that band up (club fire). I admired them for never giving up, and I'm glad Jack is in a good place with it now. Gotta admit, I do miss the carefree hedonism of the late 80's. That attitude hasn't happened again, and I doubt it will.
The band was already broken up at that point. Mark Kendall was joining JRGW for a few shows when that happened. I don't think Jack wants to talk about that anymore. I don't blame him.
@@daddiikong1602 actually the guitar players name was Ty Longley unfortunately he perished in the fire as well
@@atticusfinch3931 I know. He was the rhythm guitar player. I have done a bunch of research on what happened.
@@daddiikong1602 it was a bad night I lost friends there that night
@@atticusfinch3931 That sucks. I wasn't there, but seeing the raw video was rough. I can't imagine. I saw an interview with Mark and he talks about how he went from it'll be put out quick and we'll go back in to Holy Crap, this is terrible. Did you see the Reelz documentary?
Cant forget Great White and Tesla in Philly! I ask Tesla whenever I see them if they will do it again and always get "that would be cool".
Poor guy That’s a real heartbreaker
Jack and as many ROCK BANDS OR ROCK ARTISTS SHOULD PUT ON A CONCERT FOR FLORIDA LIKE LIVE AIDE IN THE 80'S!! ROCK ISN'T DEAD!! IT'S BEEN SURPRESSED?? MUSIC TODAY IS ONESIDED!! ESPECIALLY IN MAINSTREAM MUSIC!! ROCK ARTISTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN FOR A GOOD CAUSE!!! SO BIG THAT THE MEDIA CAN'T IGNORE ??? NOW IS THE TIME FOR ROCK TO BE HEARD BY THE MASSES AGAIN!!!
He still feels very hurt and sad, from not having been in great white yet...
Jack is Great White like other bands... He got soul emotion in the songs
If he did the firing, then why isn’t his band “Great White”?
Lawyers
I WANT TO PLAY GUITAR FOR THIS GUY, GREATEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME AND HE IS A FISHING NUT JUST LIKE ME!!!
I liked the Hooked album. Cold Hearted Loving is a Awesome Song
I had great white album once bitten it was on cassette tape version.
Opened for Audie n da guys..great dudes also
What is that tune you are playing It's fantastic!!
My one slight problem with his photo copy comment is that a case could be made that GW was a photo copy of Crue, Poison, and RIot. GW was one of many bands who got signed on the coat tails of Crue, RIot and a few other strip bands signed in about 82
Riot or Quiet Riot
Saw them open for RUSH 83 84? New Haven Colliseum
Its the customers, Jack. Most people dont know good music unless you spoon feed it to them. The fans actively seek it out. Hooked and Psycho City are your best albums.
Whats that Song at the End?
Psycho City is one of the greatest albums ever put on tape
Maybe someday is my favorite song on that album.
Some rock stars understand why grunge killed 80's metal, other's dont. Seem's Jack Russell still doesn't understand it. Yes, he's right, grunge was depressing, it was morose. That's exactly why it was so popular. Things change. the partying and hedonism of 80's metal was perfect for that time period, but metal never matured beyond that. It was stuck making music for teens and teenyboppers. Meanwhile all those metal heads in 80's were grown up by the 90's and were seeking more meaningful music, more introspective music, so when grunge came around it was perfect for that time. Of course now that all those 80's metal heads, turned 90's grunge fans, are middle aged and feeling nostalgic, so they went back to the 80's feel good party music.
Real metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Metallica had deeper more mature lyrics - it was glam metal bands that had the shallow lyrics about girls, partying, fast cars, etc.
😂 grunge was exactly that! Grunge! I think they are all on the same level for EMO kids of the 90’s. None exciting or different just blah! Pearl Jam probably being the biggest 💩
Twice Shy stood out if only for its liberal use of the piano. Very cool.
listen, I'm a huge fan. But to suggest that rehab after the Hooked album would have changed history is delusional. Psycho City was and is unquestionably their best record, start to finish. But the music world changed on them. It is what it is.
wheres part 1?
If I was in Great White I would really wanna make it a point to stay away from words like “fired” maybe use “let go” instead 😬
Just what I thought. Great band, much respect from me.
I agree great white is Jack Russell
The Rocken Roll seen was just a thing. It was just a thing. But the world was a better place with it in it.
Without JR great white will not be the same anymore
I don’t think there is an episode on this channel that doesn’t mention “Grunge”. 😂
Great White will always be one of my favorite bands.
