GREAT WHITE Singer Talks About DIMEBAG At Alrosa Villa; Video Available

August 21, 2007

A BLABBERMOUTH.NET user by the name of Steve has submitted a video clip shot during GREAT WHITE's August 17, 2007 performance at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio (the venue where PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and four others died in a 2004 shooting). "They talk about the Rhode Island fire tragedy and the Dimebag shooting," writes Steve. "There's even a point where Jack Russell [GREAT WHITE singer] says that Dime is probably playing a concert for the [Rhode Island] fire victims up in heaven right now. Video also includes a new GREAT WHITE song 'Standing on the Edge' off their new album 'Back to the Rhythm'."

Watch the eight-minute video clip below.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Russell said his band would never fully get over the Rhode Island fire tragedy and those who died, including GREAT WHITE guitarist Ty Longley, but they needed to keep going.

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

GREAT WHITE has just released a new album, entitled "Back to the Rhythm", via Shrapnel Records. Frontiers Records will issue the CD in Europe on August 31 via in a lavish digipack edition.

"Back to the Rhythm" was mixed, produced, and engineered by guitarist Michael Lardie with all members contributing to to the final mix.
