[@TimeMgtInc]

The stick toss at the end was spontaneous and purely out of frustration after playing the song 30 times in a row. The camera following the stick was completely serendipitous. As a result, that take became the final take. I thank you all sincerely for your appreciation and patronage. I've never taken it for granted. I will always be grateful for you. -Gary Holland

Thats right

Fantastic album! I wore the grooves out of that thing! 🙂 Trying to find the cd of it now.... not an easy feat! Thanks for all the great music! 🎵🎶🥁🎸🤘🙏

[@GrumpyCat24]

Same. Man these kids today just don't make music as good as they did in the 80s.

[@eddie20307]

Gary, you have unique talents behind the kit... Thank you for contributing to the soundtrack of my life!!

[@davebrowning8262]

Hell yeah Gary, this is and will always be my favorite Album. Played 3 cassettes into dust listening to you pound the sticks.

[@ericaleightaylor3030]

Mark Kendall is one of the greatest heavy metal guitarists ever. Stupidly underrated. He's a total legend

[@Macleodking]

I miss the heavy, flatpicked rhythm of old school metal.

[@angusorvid8840]

I know what you mean, bro. I'm from that era myself. I played in a lot of L.A. metal bands in the 80s and this tune pretty much captures the standard most guitarists went for.

[@jeep2gibbs]

All day long!!!

[@aurelliusmaximus6123]

I remember hearing this on Metalshop on the radio and went out and bought the cassette. Still rocks after all these years.

[@auntielisalisabopeepsa]

Now this is the Great White that I remember and love ❤️ my friend Mark introduced me to their music back in the early 80’s. Come to find out they’re local boys from Whittier California. Originally known as Dante Fox. Hadn’t heard this song in years. Right away I remembered the lyrics. Sadly after the Station fire in 2003 this band was never the same. Definitely heartbreaking 💔 and sad how many fans and even their own guitarist Ty Longley died. Now I believe there is 2 versions of Great White. One with Jack Russell & one with Mark Kendall. This video brought me back to my teenage years 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@carlsurrow5538]

If Jack Russell had Bon Jovi or Winger looks he would have been one of the biggest rock stars ever. What an amazing voice! Could go from Halford screams to Plant wails to Vince Neil type punkish aggression, bluesy to a soft head voice on ballads all while still sounding like himself. And a side note, the chick in the blue swimsuit is wife material

[@GrumpyCat24]

[@RCEvans87]

Kick ass!!! The very first song that I ever heard from them, which made me a fan. They opened up with this song, when I had seen them live in '85 at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara, Ca, It was a sold out show, and Y&T and Helix were also on the bill. All 3 bands blew the roof off of the place! This song was even used on the 2nd "Harold & Kumar" flick. It's awesome to know that true rock is timeless:)

You SHITASS, LUCKY DOG!)) I BET IT WAS EPIC BADASS TO THA BONE!!!! I just recently as of last few years REALLY TURNED ON TO THIS CUT?!? RESONATES DOWN TO MY SOUL.... I was a LITTLE behind the REAL PLAY IN THAT ERA OF TIME, BUT THE FELLOWS LAY IT DOWN. SOLID.

I was in Manhattan Beach in a pool hall , Mr. Pockets and it was about a week before my 21st B day but i had altered the day on my physical Drivers license ( they used to be some kind of paper not plastic like now)to read the day i was in the beer pool hall . Well , dude at the bar refused to honor it and said it was obviously altered. The whole time me and the bartender argued for my legalness to be in a bar drinking beer, some Great White was playing on the juke box. It was Stick it. There were two guys playing on a table in the far corner and one was singing along but way louder to Stick It. Jack Russel and the other was the guitar player from LeatherWolf. After the song they both looked over and saw me arguing and came over to see wtf. Jack wound up not only talking the bartender within seconds to serve me the beer but bought it for me for my 21st B day, which i later told him wasnt till next week and he thought it was cool and we laughed together and bullshitted for another beer and everyone bailed. The very next day i found out Great White was playing that night at some dinky record store in Hermosa Beach for some promotional thing and guys from Stryper were there and some other guys from unsigned bands. They Played one song, Stick it and it was loud as fuck and at the end where he screams long all the way to the end and loud af, he was bent over backwards so far his hair was almost hitting the floor and when he came up face all red ended the song . That was some good shit back then what I'm saying... Original drummer and shit. Saw em like a week later at Fenders Ballroom in down town Long Beach, a little bigger place but still small and the stage riser was only like two feet high and they did like five of their songs from their EP. On Your Knees , Stick It and couple the other ones. My friend s and I got fucked up and the bouncers threw my friend Jay out after he got on the stage with the band like five times . The show was loud af and slight mayhem did occur both on the stage and out side in the alley behind the ballroom. Anyway, I thought I'd share some fun and funny times and shit. Peace....

[@jadedheartsz]

cool story!

[@GrumpyCat24]

Cool story bro. Good times. ✌

[@RayFromLA1]

hell yeah... first band i ever saw in LA at the troubadour New Years Night... was singing this song for the next month in my head...

[@DeadlyRamon]

I bought a Great White Greatest Hits album the other day from Amazon's MP3 store, and the opening track was this one, one I haven't heard since 1984 and forgot all about until now. Excellent heavy metal track that got overshadowed by Great White's more commercial and blues-influenced sound on successive albums. I like the Once Bitten Twice Shy phase, too, but this song represents the epitome of Great White to me.

[@jordanmichaels5127]

DeadlyRamon never forget!! Lol

[@garynewcomb8649]

Best find the cd to be safe because if the band says no more, the digital formats will be gone!!

[@DeadlyRamon]

@@garynewcomb8649 I downloaded all the files to multiple hard and flash drives for offline listening, but these digital retailers have it set up so that you can redownload the material whenever you want, even if the material gets yanked from the store.

I once worked with Alma (mother in-law to Jack Russell). Appropriately nicknamed "The Storm Trooper." **It took me to "set her straight" when all others feared to. Note: We actually kind of understood each other (after read the riot act - no act - by me) when one afternoon both sat at a same table. Neither leaving (she/Alma had refused to speak to me prior) Re: Alma calling and shouting at me quote: "Al, why did you do that!?" end quote. I responded quote: "What are you talking about? And accusing me of?!" end quote. She replied: quote: "You know. The tape - that we (computer class) spent hours today - separating the desks!" end quote. {My final response after finding out who actually had - was} quote: "Alma, it was the State Fire Marshal, not I. " end quote. *Adding: quote: "Alma, if you EVER do that again to me...I will defend myself verbally/orally!" end quote. At a later time... Table - Al. Yes. I have heard that you play bass guitar Yes. Have you heard of Great White? My daughter is married to Jack Russell (lead singer). Yes. I have. Adding: "Their manager ripped them (Great White) off. She responded: Yes. He did. **And we saw eye to eye from then. AMJ metaltomotown **See Street Killer/Great White for conclusion.

Just saw this on VH-1 Classic "Metal Mania" and I remember them from the 80s but never knew of this older stuff of theirs. Too bad they didn't stay with the more hard rock/metal sounding style of this than the poseur hair band pseudo bluesy schtick they soon adopted which is all I thought they were. My first intro to them was Rock Me or Once Bitten Twice Shy which was pretty crappy bubblegum sh*t

[@GuitaristPAX]

how very diplomatic of you to say ... Opinions are like assholes ... I know these guys and they had been through hell by the time the "Record Company" stepped in and wanted to "change" their Sound to capture a bigger audience ... so they chose a world wide hit "Once Bitten" written by Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople/ Mick Ronson / Bowie Publishing ... it was a HUGE hit and did expose the Band to bigger world wide audience and had the legal problems and personal problems of a few key people in their organization had NOT been a factor, they would still be one of the biggest Bands to come out of the L.A. scene ... so while you think your opinion is worthy of vomiting, but in reality, it is not.

Hi Trish :) Yeah you mixed once bitten and twice shy together into one album.:). They were two separate one's... And both were extremely popular. BUt imho Once Bitten (the one that came out in '87) was the end of them being a relevant edgy passionate band. Everything from 'twice shy' on sounds like something they would pay a music director to play every hour on commercial radio...>
