Great White is famous for their one-hit "Once Bitten, Twice Shy." Their career hit the skids after Nirvana brought grunge to the forefront. The band continued to tour and then made headlines in 2003. This time for dubious reasons. Their show at a West Warwick Rhode Island nightclub was cancelled when 100 people died when the pyrotechnics ignited a fire.

A few years later, the Alrosa Villa nightclub became famous for the death of Ex-Pantera and Damageplan guitarist, Dimebag Darrell Abbott. He was murdered on stage at the hands of some douchebag.

The only logical solution for the Alrose Villa is to book Great White.

Concert safety expert Paul Wertheimer called it a "match made in hell." "Why would you bring those two negative forces together? How could anyone with any sensibility not want to hate you for that?"

Alrose Villa manager Rick Cautela said "I booked them because I love the '80s people and those bands. And who doesn't love the [Great White] song 'Once Bitten, Twice Shy?"

Great White frontman Jack Russell [Terrier] said he understands why some would want to blame the tragedy of Alrosa Villa and Great White. He also said that the band will never get over the fire and those who died.

"Hopefully my music will continue to enhance people's lives and maybe in some small way contribute happiness in some people's lives. Unfortantely, this will be a legacy that will live with the band forever."

Hey Jack, no publicity is ever BAD publicity. Keep setting those clubs on fire...with your music. Article can be found here.
