Rocktober 17: Great White

"House of Broken Love"


Great White is a band that I wish I had more to say about. I wasn't a huge fan back in the day. "Once Bitten Twice Shy" was ubiquitous, and it was fine, although I liked "Mista Bone" (that bass!) much better. But like Cinderella, my appreciation for them has grown over time. I can't remember exactly when it was, but at some point when I started exploring hair metal again after my fandom had grown—not dormant, exactly, but stagnant, I guess—it was this song that drew me in. I really dig the guitar work. I listen to this song and think, "that is what a professional guitar riff sounds like." Overall they just have a more mature sound than a lot of the bands of the era, and that appeals to my adult self in a way it didn't as much back then.
