GREAT WHITE Begins Recording New Album

March 3, 2007

According to a posting on GREAT WHITE's official web site, Jack Russell (vocals),Mark Kendall (guitar),Michael Lardie (keyboards, guitar),Sean McNabb (bass) and Audie Desbrow (drums) will be celebrating GREAT WHITE's 25th anniversary with a new record. They are in the studio recording right now, but they will be taking a small break to celebrate the release of "VH1 Metal Mania Stripped Volume 3" CD by playing a show at the Key Club in West Hollywood, California on March 7. Also appearing on the bill are members of QUEENSRŸCHE, TESLA, RATT, original WARRANT singer Jani Lane and DOKKEN. Each of the five artists will be performing a selection of their greatest hits acoustically in celebration of the new Sidewinder Music release, which will hit stores on Tuesday, March 6.

Like its "Stripped" predecessors, the new CD will once again feature rare and never-before-heard acoustic versions of some of metal's greatest songs by some of the genre's biggest names (see list below).

"VH1 Classic Metal Mania Stripped Volume 3" is actually the fourth release in the successful "Stripped" series following "Volume I: The Ballads", "Volume 2: The Anthems" and the "Metal Mania Stripped Across America Live!" DVD.

All in all, "Volume 3" features fifteen unforgettable tracks (ten of which have never been heard before),all of which have stood the test of time.

The forthcoming record release party promises to be full of hits (including the hit songs appearing on the new release),as the five featured artists have sold over 30 million albums collectively worldwide and boast a total of fourteen platinum and nine gold albums.

Open to the public, tickets to the special event are $20 (general admission) and $28 (general admission and a copy of the new CD) and available at the Key Club box office as well as all Ticketmaster outlets (including online via Ticketmaster.com). Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Showtime is 8:00 p.m.
