JACK RUSSELL Says GREAT WHITE Has Little In Common With 'Hair Metal' Bands

June 2, 2008

Amanda Chamberlain of IN Utah This Week recently conducted an interview with GREAT WHITE vocalist Jack Russell. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow.

On looking to pour a good load of cash into real estate:

"When they knocked 'em down from a million-five to a million, my wife and I thought real estate would make a good investment."

On whether he would ever partake in a reality-TV show:

"Those shows always use sub-prime people who were kinda famous for five minutes and I don't want to get lumped in with that. Is the money really worth your dignity?"

On GREAT WHITE's hair metal stigma:

"We might be labeled as hair metal, but GREAT WHITE has always been just a blues, rock 'n' roll band. We were never the magazine cover darlings. It wasn't like, 'I'm Bret Michaels, I'm so good-looking.' It was like, 'You know what? I'm tired of this weave stuff.'"
