| I was trying to decide if i'd like that song if I didn't know it was GW and the answer was: maybe. But it's pretty generic. | |

| Not wanting to let Queensryche steal the spotlight any longer, Jack Russel reminds us that his band started this drama... - Quote :
- JACK RUSSELL'S GREAT WHITE singer Jack Russell, who is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with his former GREAT WHITE bandmates over the rights to the group's name, has posted the following message on his Facebook page:
"A friend of mine just showed me an interview with my former guitarist Mark Kendall [of GREAT WHITE]. In this interview, he insinuates and/or alleges that I am not sober. Ordinarily I do not let such idiotic and slanderous comments bother me, as I must consider the source, but at this point I have had enough!
"My A.A. sponsor, who has been sober for twenty six years, will verify along with anyone else in my life that I AM SOBER. I will take my one-year cake and coin on August 10th.
"[Addressing Kendall directly] Do me a favor, worry about your own sobriety and quit taking cheap pot shots at me in the press while acting like a 'concerned old friend.'
"Remember, Mark, you were one of my dear old friends who never even called me once while I was in a coma for five days in the hospital. So for you to come off now like you are seriously concerned about my welfare is insulting. You are not fooling anyone, certainly not me.
"I wish you would stop 'wishing me nothing but the best' after doing your best to throw me under the bus.
"I propose from now on, if we don't have anything good to say about each other, let's just not say anything at all." _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| I think it's hilarious that Jack is pissed that Mark didn't call him while he was in a coma! Oh the conversation they could've had! |

| Jack Russell's Great White have rescheduled dates in Sanford and Jacksonville, Florida for next weekend, after frontman Jack Russell was forced to miss the band's scheduled dates this weekend when he was hospitalized with and intestinal infection and was placed on IV and antibiotics.
The rest of Jack's band did show up for the dates over the weekend, and played covers with the local artists at the show.

And that's following doctor's orders and watching what you eat and drink. God know what Jack's doing while on tour. Just something as simple as eating crappy fast food could have terrible consequences. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.

| This guy can't win. - Quote :
- Former Great White singer Jack Russell has been told the Station Fire Memorial Foundation don’t want any money from his upcoming charity show.
And the organisation have all but said he’s only doing it for publicity. Russell recently announced he’d play an acoustic benefit concert in California in February. He planned to send the proceeds to the foundation set up to commemorate the 100 people who died in the blaze during a Great White concert a decade ago, including guitarist Ty Longley. Later he revealed: “My manager received an email from the vice president of the Station Fire Memorial Foundation, stating that they will refuse any donations from me. The proceeds from the show will be donated to a different charitable organiaation, to be determined shortly. “I am saddened by the response of the foundation and the motives behind it, but we will put on a great show and make it for a worthy cause.” Now the foundation have lashed back against the second announcement. They say: “This event was not approved by, nor endorsed by the Station Fire Memorial Foundation. We require all third party fundraisers to be recognised and approved prior to advertising. “The foundation felt that this event was not something we wished to be associated with. This is due to the resentment and animosity still felt by many of the families and survivors. We feel that the upset caused by his involvement would outweigh the amount of funds raised at this event “Mr Russell’s manager, Ms Valerie Ince, responded that she would remove the name of the foundation from the event and another worthy charity would be chosen. We thanked her, and tried to have all traces of the event taken down from various music news websites before any damage could be done. “Instead of graciously adhering to our heartfelt and polite request, Ms Ince then released an additional statement to the media. “We stand behind our decision that our organisation represents the feelings and the needs of the family members and survivors above the need for publicity or opportunity of one person.”

| ^^ not exactly surprising. I just finished reading the book Killer Show about the Station fire and Jack Russell does not come off very well in it. There are a lot of people in that town who would gladly string him up from the nearest tree if he ever sets foot in Rhode Island again. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

And it wasn't his fault. Human beings are greedy, selfish, and despicable. His fault or not, someone's gotta be the scapegoat in all this. And who better than the leader of the band? The guy is in a now-win situation. If he ignores it completely, he's a douche. If he tries to make reparations, he's a dick. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.

UNCLE SAXON'S KICKASS CDS Metal is in my blood

| So, I just went on youtube and watched the vid from the Station Fire for the first time [I guess I have been pretty self-absorbed for the last 10 years. No surprise there]. That was one of the most morbid, disturbing things I have ever seen. It literally made me a little nauseous. From the looks of it though, that place had to be a tinderbox. I hope someone was made accountible for those decisions. | |

By most accounts, there was finger-pointing in every direction. Band, management, club owners, fire dept, etc. I don't think any "one person" was held accountable. Freddy just read the book, so he can chime in with more info. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.

| ^^ The fault was pretty evenly split between a number of parties - the owners of the club, the band (mainly their road manager, i.e. the guy who lit the fireworks in the first place), and a number of people in the town government, particularly the fire inspector's office, who'd found numerous fire code violations in the club over the years but never followed up to see if anything had been done about them (nothing had).
So in other words, the place was a death trap long before Great White set foot in there. If it hadn't been their pyro that set it off, sooner or later it would've been somebody else's.
In the course of the class action lawsuit they also went after the manufacturers of the soundproofing "foam" that fueled the fire and a number of other defendants, including the local Anheuser-Busch distributor and Clear Channel radio cuz both of them were "sponsors" of the concert. (Not so much because they were "negligent" in any way, but because they had deep corporate pockets and they all gladly dropped a few mil into the victim's fund to make it all go away). _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"
