Great White is an American blues-based rock band known primarily for their hit “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”, a cover version of a song written by Mott the Hoople’s Ian Hunter. Their songs were derivative of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Mott the Hoople.
While one infamous nightclub show eclipses their previous achievements, the hard rock/heavy metal band Great White would much rather you remember their Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance, the over six million records they sold, and their double platinum album …Twice Shy.
Formed in the early ’80s by vocalist Jack Russell and guitarist Mark Kendall, Great White were regulars of the L.A. club scene, playing their Led Zeppelin- and AC/DC-influenced metal to a quickly growing fan base. Local radio play and more gigging helped sell 20,000 copies of their independent releases, the Out of the Night EP and the full-length Shot in the Dark, both released in 1983.
The EMI label took notice, signed the band, and released its self-titled, major-label debut a year later. Shot in the Dark would be reissued by the label in 1987, the same year as the new album Once Bitten… appeared with the hit single “Rock Me.” The album went platinum, but 1989’s …Twice Shy took things even further thanks in no small part to the massive success of the single “Once Bitten Twice Shy,” a cover of a Mott the Hoople song written by Mott member Ian Hunter.
