Great White is playing here!

The band Great White is playing in Idaho Falls soon, I wonder if I should go this time. I luckily missed their 2003 performance in Rhode Island, but it looks like they're prepared this time: The other headlining band is Firehouse.

For those who don't know, here's a background on Great White:

That's ironic isn't it. That would be a great concert actually. Can't get motivated enough to drive to ID to see it though.

Firehouse is actually from near me. great white is a good show - the guitarists only know 3 chords, but string them together well

If you scroll down the Wiki page, and look at the members in 2003-2005, you find ... my nephew Scott.

Yeah, he's a great kid. He was barely of age when he was touring with them. He got to travel the country and some of the world and he honed his craft. He's a good musician, although I can't listen to that crap myself. I still appreciate his skill.

Great White started as a local band, and when Jack Russell runs out of money he lives with his mom here in Whittier. He would still be a washed up druggie living with mom if it weren't for that horrible fire. They put the band on the road, supposedly to help the victims families. Kind of like O.J. looking for the real killers I guess. Scott was part of the band during that time. Lets just say, he became disillussioned. Still, it was an experience he will never forget.

I'm thankful he is out of that life.

I'd like to see them... but since RI is just around the corner, they will NEVER play closer than PA again. They dare not tread up here. Its a shame.. it was just a ****ty deal all around.

Yes indeed it was, if you ever happen to be in RI and drive by where the Station Night Club was, the scope of what happened really becomes apparent. Many many white wooden crosses, still all being decorated with fresh flowers...
