I was first introduced to Great White and their music back in 1982. Over the years, I have watched them grow musically. Because of this, I decided to build a page to share with you. You will find photos of us with the band, promo photos and links to Great White sites.

In 1981 Great White started out as a L.A. based metal band known as Dante Fox. In mid '82 they changed their name to Great White and released their first album...

1982

Jack Russell (Lead Vocals) Lorne Black (Bass)

Mark Kendall (Lead Guitar) Gary Holland (Drums).

Over the years, Great White has changed members but still kept that hard rockin' blues music. In 1986, Audie Desbrow replaced Gary Holland on drums and Tony Montana stepped in as bass player. Also adding Michael Lardie on keyboards and whatever else he can get his hands on, Great White was truly on their way to rock stardom!!! In 1987, Great White made the top 30 with the release of "Once Bitten"! 1989 brought much more success for the band with the follow up album "Twice Shy", climbing all the way up into the top 10 in the U.S. In 1992 Tony Montana left the band and was replaced by Dave Spitz (ex-White Lion). Dave recorded "Psycho City". Teddy Cook, who also filled in as bassist for a few years, was replaced by Sean McNabb (ex-Quiet Riot). Great White embarked on a world tour in 1999, promoting the release of their newest masterpiece, "Can't Get There From Here".
