5.0 out of 5 stars Great White Hamptons Gods, August 13, 2003

The best Great White mass marketed album. A "Tour de Force", start to finish.
From the unbelievable opening M.K. guitar riff to the closing: this is an inspired and unforgettable work.
Great White stands on their own material high above any record company expectations.
Mr. Russell, his voice, talent, and "desires", have outlasted them all. Comparisons do not apply.
Buy this album...Rock destination reached.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once Bitten, twice addicted!!, February 4, 2004

This review is from: Once Bitten (Audio CD)

When I first heard "Rock Me" back in 1987, I knew that Great White stood above the rest.I went out and bought "Once Bitten" and after hearing it, I promptly began buying every bit of GW music I could find. This album sets the standard for blues based rock. If you don't own this disc, drop what you are doing and buy it now!! Mark Kendall's guitar work is a perfect mix of Jimmi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and his own original style. And what can you say about Jack Russell's voice? He is the man! A great album from a great band!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Album is a true rock and roll gem!, February 25, 2003

This review is from: Once Bitten (Audio CD)

Purchased the cassette back in 1987 when it came out (long
before I got by first CD player in '89) -- got the CD
then and after over 100 plays I still never get tired of it.
"Rock Me" is both a musically technical gem in addition to
being a great rock/blues song. "Save Your Love" is my favorite
all-time rock ballad especially since it captures Jack
Russell's unbelievable vocal range.

"Mistreater" is an in-your-face grinder with a good emphasis
on the bass. "On the Edge" just makes me want to go bungee
jumping for the 50th time -- gets the adrenaline going.

"Lady Red Light", "All Over Now", and "Never Change Heart"
capture what blue collar straight rock and roll is all about
without the lipstick and glam.

"Fast Road" is a fast rock jam that new rock bands
should learn and practice with just because it is so
classically rock.

There is NO filler material on this album. Each song is
explosive yet unique and will be appreciated by all who
love good old fashioned rock and roll!
