Perfect, for what it is and when it was released.......2006-08-30

Great White never did fit the "hair band" mold. They had too much blues influence in their songs, and too much genuine melody and skillful playing. No, they are no virtuosos, but they were a great hard rock band. And listening to this disc now, I am amazed at how well the songs stand up. Put aside the production, guitar tone, overextended solos, and general "80s" vibe, and you'll see the songs are solid. If they came out today, with the exact same songs, they'd be a hit...much like Wolfmother is a hit by (admittedly) copying Zep and AC/DC. It seems there's always a place for catchy blues rock.

Things went downhill fast after this album though. The next one had one or two "hits." One of those was a cover song, and the other more or less a direct copy of "Save Your Love," a song on this album. Then, of course, they had the nightclub tragedy. Still, this album is one of the best of its type from its era.

This is a great cd!.......2006-07-31

I never listend to Great White before but my dad said he liked them so I knew if he did then I knew I would too, and I was right. This cd is totally awesome and my favorite song on here might just be 'Lady Red Light'. This rocks all the way through and I'm planing on getting other Great White cds, my next one will probaly be Twice Shy because I heard that song on VH1 Classic and it's really good. GO OUT AND GET THIS CD!!!

Today's problem with Great White..........2006-01-04

This and several other CD's by Great White released during the 80's are essential classics and examples of great 80's metal (Hooked, Psycho City and Shot in the Dark). Producer Alan Niven made the comment that the band didn't find its "niche" during this time, but I'm surprised at this comment. What is the band doing now in the year 2000's? A bunch of boring covers of Led Zeppelin stuff (did I mention boring)? The band needs to get away from the Tenessee hillbilly cover songs of the 1960's and get back to doing the edgy, melancholic, power melodies they did in the 80's. Songs of realism tempered with a message of hope is what they must return to. Songs with less of a sociological commentary are fine, but these days they're not even heavy rockers anymore. "Psycho City" was Great White's last great CD. "Step On You", "Lovin' Kind", "Angel Song", "Shot in the Dark", "Rock Me"... This will be what we remember from Great White. C'mon boys, go back to it or fade into obscurity.

Once bitten...always rock.......2005-10-19

This is a great classic record for hard rock lovers. i enjoyed it a lot. Great White is a great band.

Once Bitten, twice addicted!!.......2004-02-04

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!!
