I am soooo going to miss Jack! If one band defined the 80's for me it was Great White! I liked Motley, Ratt, and LA Guns and the Sunset Strip scene but I loved Great White! It's been tough listening to Mark Kendall running down Jack in past interviews when they are all guilty of their excesses. He was one guy that always had time for the fans and even in a hurry had time for them. My heart breaks but he is no longer in any pain it was very tough seeing his condition the last few years he always was about the show. RIP Jack and thanks for the music and the memories!
from my perspective from the media. He got it. He embraced the fact their success was tied with getting promotion not just from MTV but radio too. He always had thoughtful answers to questions. Just an immense talent and will be very missed
Very sad. I just found out a couple of days ago. My favorite band and favorite singer. R.I.P. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched the video live at the Ritz. Many. Jack was at his prime. And agreed, the fire was not his fault. It was the club owners and the fire department that looked over massive issues. Glad you didn’t ask him about it.
“Shot in the Dark” is such an underrated song. So good! I remember me and my buddy use to rock out air guitar every time KMET or KNAC played “Stick It.” That was the very first song I ever heard from Great White. For some reason, I didn’t really become a fan of their music until 1989. That is when I bought their cd “Once Bitten” then shortly after “Twice Shy.”
I saw Great White in concert when the band opened for Whitesnake. I also met him during a chance opportunity. He was such a gentleman and very kind. I loved his voice and I’m grateful for his music.🙏🏼
I seen that tour with Whitesnake in Hampton, VA. The first time I seen them, they opened for Judas Priest in 1984. I've been blessed to have met Jack and talked with him on several occasions, the most memorable being in Pittsburgh for the acoustic Storytellers show. We got to hang out with Jack and Robby along with the venue owner for a couple hours after the show. Such an incredible person. This was a hard loss.
Saw Great White around 2000 , a way past her prime hoochie mama was trying to get back stage during a song , Jack kept shaking his head no to security. I bet he remembered her from years before. Good ol Lampe , Mo . Black Oak Mountain Ampitheatre.
PoundinPat here,I knew Jack when he was in Dante Fox,they were from Anaheim ,not HB , I bought coke from same dealer Jack did,and my neighbor was bassist for Dante Fox
It was the Aussie band 'The Angels' "Face the the Day" they covered. Not "Angel City". It is astonishing and way beyond Metallica or any other band having discovered such a niche hidden gem of a band. I'm still amazed by it.... Rest in Peace Jack.....
Give Great white They're Due Mark was out there on the L.A. club scene with Van Halen And Quiet Riot and Snow they played The Strip they were there in the Begining guys .Even though they may have been Called Dante Fox , they were part of the Brew

Agreed on Shot in the Dark!! Such a great song. They have a lot of great deep cuts
Well, Jack gets to speak even after his passing on our channel.
It’s NOT Great White Without Jack Russell Period❤I Have Two Of There DVD’s.
Great singer. Met him several times and liked him a lot.
Always a very cool dude

Cool interview..
Thank you so much!!

That's quite the degree of separation thanks for the clarification that Dante was not in HB

Marry a Nurse!
Jack Russell was a fantastic vocalist,if you dont believe me listen to House of Broken Love
such a great song
Where'd you get that awesome KNAC shirt MC? Best rock radio station in the LA area EVER, not KLOS, not KMET, KNAC ROCKED!!!
Says online that he passed away on the 7th?? I thought it was the 15th??
pretty sure it was the 15th
One of his band mates told Eddie Trunk he passed a week before it was announced. So if that were the case the 7th would make sense.
15th
