  • Yet another very under-rated band. I saw these guys with Aerosmith back in the day, and they blew them off the stage. If you get a chance to see this band live, take it! Their early blues was great, and hard rock tunes like this one, is their best music. The stuff that hit the radio was just their commercial record label stuff. I saw them again last year (2010) and they are STILL an amazing live act.

  • this band was one of the better bands of the 80s, great singer, good songs, and they sound great together, good musicians, my fave video by them

  • 80's rocked, that is all...

  • I play this song all day, every day.

  • Oh yeah! Great White was one band that kicked ass live, well worth the ticket price for sure. They rocked the house. Put many other top bands to shame. I like the older stuff they did more than the later stuff, but this song kicks ass for sure, i didn't know it was a cover, but they did many cover songs.

  • Only the good die young, the guitarist was one of the best in rock and metal, My best friend went out the same way, I miss him, fire sucks. RIP

  • @lowpricedpaint Actually Ty the guitarist who died in the fire was the rhythm guitarist. Also he wasn't an original member. Not taking anything away from him. Just clarifying.

  • great song !!!

  • Hahaha, love the ending, perfect \m/

  • Sound pretty much like the original but with more hair.

  • Pretty good cover of an Aussie rock classic, As good as the Angels, Rock n Roll!!!!

  • @ACDCgunslinger Nice! You know your shit, not many people know who the ANGELS are.

  • @laudanum669 :) Great aussie band, last time they came to my home town i was olny 17 and couldnt go to there concert (it was 18+ olny) , Ive been kicking myself since.. lol Loved em since i first heard em

  • kickass song from a kick ass time for hard rock and metal...

  • If you like em...you like em....if you don't that's your problem....they became famous...what about you ???? in my opinion the 80's was the best decade that i grew up in with the best Rock and metal 70's as well...

  • @cranberries866 70's & 80's the best! =)

  • @CosmikDebrisFZ Definitely...=)

  • Great White was one of my all time favorites from the 80's.

  • @manwithtwobrains are you deaf?

  • They should have done a video for "Run Away" from this album, it's the best one.

  • The Angels (or Angel City if you prefer) had an awesome song and Great White did an excellent job with the cover. I prefer the original, but if I said this was terrible I'd be lying.

  • @ThomasMink I wouldn't be lying if I said "this sucks" compared to the Angel City original.

  • I've followed this band since 86, so much great music, such, great guys, always fantastic to their fans,,

  • the 9 people who disliked are on redbull 24/7

  • can't we all just get along and enjoy the music?

  • DANTE FOX? I guess we can figure why that didnt catch on. Good thing they changed names. Good thing when they did it was not : FIREHOUSE. A bad joke there. Really bad.A good note, some buddies of mine: Drivin N Cryin actually rallied many bands and artists to pay the legal fees that got them a real trial and got them sprung.That dive was a deathtrap and not the bands fault. GW will be touring this summer.NO DEATH TRAPS on gig list.They are surely ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY.

  • Anyone have any pre Great White stuff? when they were called Dante Fox.

  • Lets bring back this Stuff man!!! We need IT!!!!!!!!!! Good Old Rock n Roll!!! CHEERS!!!

    Born in 86

  • A few songs that were actually done by "ANGEL CITY." They ROCK though! Why don't we ever hear from GREAT WHITE anymore? I guess they must be getting old too, huh? I have many good memories from the days in my camero, cruising down the road, with my DENON crancked to GREAT WHITE!

  • @SALZY100 They are touring now!

  • Great White Rocks........ C un D'Mé Groupe Préféré

  • Angel City did this waaay better!

  • Saw them open up for Ratt & Dio when all they had was an EP. Also this tour - opened up for Queensryche (Rage for Order) & AC/DC in Dallas TX. AWESOME show! Flash forward to L.A. years later at a tiny club, my girlfriend smoked a j with Jack outside. She had no idea who he was at the time. She does now & I have an eight year old daughter by her! Ah, good times!

  • @davodrums. What part of the the Angels are you missing. They were not New Wave you idiot

  • @antsdick When did I ever say they were New Wave you moron? Your name says it all...

  • this is awesome, for all you guys that don't like go listen to Justin whats his face!!

  • I was 16 when One Bitten came out. I'm still a Great white fan. To me they are the best of the 80's Hair Metal. Jack Russell is one of the few that can pull of Bob Plant.  Check out Great Zeppelin.

  • Goofs in general ? What are you aon crack ? Great White rocks!

  • This is at best a pale version.......Sucks big time imo

  • overlooked cd not a bad song on this release shit side 2 kicks side ones ass

  • overlooked cd not a bad song on this release

  • ~ I Love Great White!~

  • Gotta love it... I have been friends with the band for quite a long time and I will say that the fame never went to their heads..

  • Great rock and blues band

  • FAN frickn tastic tune....

  • Puppy rock...listen to the original

  • MAN! I finally found the original version of this song!!!

    I don't particularly care for the blues re-mixed version they play & sell these days.

  • Jack Russel blows away David Coverdale..Truly , a metal master of eighties vocals.

  • Oh Yeah!!!!

  • GREAT WHITE... MURDERERS

  • I play GW all the time. Love em. Got an autographed water bottle that Jack drank and tossed it into the audience. I caught and he singed it after the show on the Let it rock tour. I'm a child of the 80's

  • @wingless07 I got Mark Kendall's autograph after a show back in 86, I was 13. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Very nice fella.

  • For those of us who know then it's our little secret. Trademark bling!!!!!

  • This is a great / well done song

  • "These guys" are one of the best groups out of the eighties....and still rocking today!

  • wow good cover

    original by the angels

  • This is real music, not like shit these days...

    80s rules! lml

  • The vox are kinda goofy, actually these guys are kinda goofs in general.

    BUT they caught a big rock groove here, and did a decent job holding on to it.

    This does, in fact, rock.

  • @classof77 These guys as you call them are a great rock band to this day. I've seen them twice and I assure you they are no goofs.

  • @classof77

    the groove sure is present here, YEAAAAAAUUUUUUU~~

  • great song

  • TO ALL GREAT WHITE FANS>>> GREATWHITE WILL BE PLAYING LIVE OCT 1ST AT ANGELS ROADHOUSE IN YUCAIPA CA HERES THE INFO ANGELS ROAD HOUSE 32464 DUNLAP BLVD YUCAIPA CA 92399 PH#(909)795-0665 GOOGLE MAP FOR DIRICTIONS CALL ANGELS FOR TICKET INFO

  • The song is actually a cover. It is an original by Australian band The Angels. Look it. Great Song. The Angels also wrote Once Bitten Twice Shy, another song this band covered.

  • Rock and Blues = Great sound, Great White! And I have met them at different places some by chance and Jack Russel is a very nice guy IRL

  • props to the original, but this version is much better. the vocals are better, the music is better

  • How embarrassing. What a bunch of softcock nancy boys wrecking a great Aussie rock song!

    Stick to hairdressing boys!

  • Comment removed

  • @davodrums Get a life....

  • @xdrmrredx Get a haircut...

  • @davodrums I did,,,,, But you still need to get a life.......

  • @davodrums Ever seen Great White? Nah didn't think so. IQ - My guess somewhere between that of a nematode and an Australian. Just listened to the original. Hats off to the Angels for inspiring Great White to turn a New Wave idea into a polished bona fide ROCK song. And by the way, it's only a wild stab in the dark but I'm guessing ALL the guys in GW have entertained WAY more 'tang than you could even cram into a dream! Byeee!

  • @veilofsilence I doubt it.

  • I love this! :) Dang, Jack and Michael look so sexy here. :)

  • This is a horrendous cover of the classic song by the Angels. It's a shame that these losers weren't struck dead immediately.

  • @ggh7664 they werent struck dead because they rock you retard

  • @77mavrick

    You say Great White rocks, yet you call me a retard?

  • @ggh7664 Dude, chill, this isn't that bad man, sure it's not as good as the original but isn't that bad. There could be worse

  • I could listen to this music all the time,I like music from different times,but, the 80's is still the best music hands down!!!!

  • They lost their rhythm guitar player in the fire. Yes, Mark Kendall is still alive and rockin'. Great White was never glam. Just good hard rock. Everyone had hair like that back in the day and some even a little eye liner. Gotta love that dude at the end from Animal House and the Twisted Sister videos .. lol

  • @nascarsteve8 um no they did'nt. Mark Kendall is still alive man

  • OMG! I lost my anal virginity to this song in college. It was playing on the radio at the time.

  • Thank god they re-made the song, the original one sounds like the singer was taking singing lessons as he recorded it, This is Pure rock right here.. The kind of stuff that shook and made bars, clubs, stripclubs, open house parties, private gigs and huge GW concerts rock!

  • @panflutelistener

    They would get their heads kicked in if they dared attempted this pansy version in an Australia pub...

  • @davodrums the pub would be burned down before you could touch em haa

  • @panflutelistener You're Funny, love your take on this great song!!! Rock on!!

  • they lost there guitar player in fire

  • No where near as good as the original....Go the Angels!!!!!!

  • @cookamidgera I did...Angels need alot of work.....

  • Badass song!

  • Incredible song!!!!

  • i've never seen great white that glammed up

  • They're on tour in the US now..

  • Great song!

  • The same studio, with Leather Wolf.

  • i made out with nichael lardie when they opened for whitesnake in the 80s. i was 15!!!!! them i married one of thir friends. mark stevens!

  • i drive around with this blasted all the time!!!! great white kicks ass!!!! gotta love the blues riff and metal thats mixed together..... ***** kick ass!!!!!!

  • Sounds like the first two measures are missing.

    Awesome song though !

  • Fantastic song...solid vocals!

  • Used to play clubs under the name dante

    's inferno! this was always my favorite song

  • @roscoshawks no....they were DANTE FOX. my husband was in jekyll n hyde. they rehearsd next to each other.

  • after they made it big, they played clubs under dante fox ( for those like you, who knew )

  • They played keg parties under Dante' Fox.

  • Did they change their name to just Hyde at one point, did some gigs at Jezebels in Anaheim?

  • yeah, a couple members went and did the HYDE thing. my husband was out of the band by then. my husband is mark stevens. and he played all over hollywood. jezebels, woodstock, radio city, cuckos nest, starlight ballroom.he was big back then.hung out with my favorite MOTLEY CRUE. too bad i was 10 yrs old. haha(and from michigan)

  • AHHH Jezebels! Turned into the Marque in the early 90's.

  • It was Dante' fox, and they did studio practice at Eden studios off Stanford & Nelson (?) in Garden Grove.

  • Doc Ruled ! TIC

  • I remember the very first time I heard that album"Shot in the dark", I think it had this song in it ,I felt for it right away kick ass song,I got to see Great White like 3 times they really jammed,would like to see them back on the road, Does anyone know which members of the band were in that horrific fire,because I recalled something about their Guitar Player,died in that incident,God bless him and of course all the people who didn't make it outside of that venue,just like in Perm,Russia,scary!

  • what seriously pisses me off is that they cut the song in half to 4:00 instead of 7:00

  • This is an Angels song. No question, no contest.

    Who are these posers anyway????

    Great W**k if you ask me.

  • who the fuck are the angels

  • WTF? The Angels are only the band that originally did this song. Grunt Wipe ripped it off from the Angels.

    If you knew anything about music, you would know that. Duh.

  • who cares if they redid it. millions of band redo stuff. its flattery. and why are you on this if you hate them.? f.y.i. once bitten was a remake to. does it bother you that they are rich and you are disgruntled?

  • @ggh7664 You are an IDIOT too...The Angels did this song originally, Great White's version sounds better....DUH!!!!

  • @xdrmrredx

    That's your argument?

    Nobody will ever accuse Grunt Wipe fans of being intelligent.

  • @ggh7664 This is the best you could come up with? Your profile,,,the coments you make tells me a lot about you and your musically challenged ignorance.....Now you go and play with a Kangaroo or something and leave the music to those who know what they are talking about.... got it.....mate????!!!!!!

  • @xdrmrredx

    You really should learn to spell before you say anything about questioning the best another could come up with. 

    That said, if I'm musically challenged and ignorant, a brief look at your profile tells me everything I need to know about you. I won't embarrass you by pointing it out to others, but I will say that your musical taste is laughable.

    And by the way, I'm not an Aussie (nor am I a Kiwi), so your assumption reinforces the fact that you're not qualified to discuss music.

  • Hey, I'd never heard of the Angels until GW redid the song.  I prefer the blues that GW adds.

  • the band was actually called ANGEL CITY

  • my bad..they were ANGEL CITY in the us.. THE ANGELS in Australia..did not know that..

  • @bullisabakodaitchy Who are these posers??? The question here is who the "Angels" are???!!! I bet you even their own mother doesn't know them....maaaate..

  • Great White is just that : GREAT,today's rock is pure shit,a bunch of soulless,talentless boring wannabes,anyone that can't see this shouldn't be allowed to buy music.

  • who really wants to get out of bed??? SNOOZE!!!)))

  • if you don,t like,,ahahhahaha,,,go away,,,,that's it great,,like all the great white song,,,,,great post man

  • Yes they are white and Great. You are a fucking idiot. Instead of searching for great rock, you should search for pantie liners or jungle jump..

  • @arsnascar Great white beats all the other suckers, all hail agressive rock of the 80's! \m/

  • WHATEVER

  • great white rocked bands now lip sync and play to pre-recorded music so dont put them down

  • Great White! swp

  • I love The Angels orig version way better, but they do it ok, but Jack's scream is lame at 2.30 mark. Sooo Lame!!!! Guitar solo sucks too.

  • The Angels version is way lame. The "solo" consists of a guy playing the same note about 50 times in a row. To even call the "solo" a solo in that version is weak. The vocals are also weak.

    The album version of this by Great White is better than the cut down video version. But even played on a broken/scratch record, it'd still be a ton better than the Angels version.

  • fukk, why is this video not include in "My My My"? it kick asses harder than the ones included in the dvd!

  • Listening to this girl singing karaoke to The Angels' great song makes me wanna poke my eyes out.

  • Great White: Angel City (The Angels)

    More Hair: More talent

  • Jack Russell is a friend of mine, But I loved Great White way before I ever met them... ROCK ON

  • I was hooked back in '84 when they opened for Judas Priest in D.C.,I've been a huge fan since that day!

  • hey Chevy man. I saw jack last week. I feel so bad. he was in pain. I was backstage some songs he couldnt sing. His friend real tall guy glasses told me. He fell off a ladder and broke his back. Terrible.  Are you still friends do you talk. I grew up in the southbau area. Listening to great white my whole life. good shit.

  • i love great white and jack russells voice is amazing.. can he be my friend too :)

  • Grande!! se ero nato negli anni 70 ai 90 non ci arrivavo morivo prima!

  • Kind of lost the feeling of the original. However, this version rocks mega, very cool. Great White did an awesome job with this tune. I think we all feel that way from time to time so this tune really taps into something in all of us. Life can really be hard.

  • ZBlacktt says Face the Day should be known as a song by Great White. I don't think so buddy. The Angels do a way better job. Saw them in Winnipeg in the 80's and they rock from start to finish. Check them out. They're known as Angel City in North America.

  • The original by Angel City, or The Angels as they are known in Australia, is far better.

  • well they both sound good but....i think great whites sounds better im huge fan of great white i never heard of angel city till now so im going to listen to more of there stuff

  • Great White also covered another Angel City song "Can't shake it"

  • Yep, unless someone is googling. This song will be known as sung by Great White.

  • The Angels are from here, in Australia, thus there name is THE ANGELS, angel city was just record companies labelling as a more appealing band name, not chosen by them.

  • You got to be kidding! Angel City sounds dead when they sing it. Great White gave this song life.

  • I have several Great White albums, but I just bought this one. This song is great, but the album title song "Shot In The Dark" really blew me away. Somebody please put this on YouTube.

  • Not glam just kick ass rock.

  • THIS IS GLAMM

  • Age: 17

    You new generation rockers crack me up with all you're labeling of music. Back in the day it was just called HEAVY METAL.

  • Mark Kendall is one of the best Bluesy hard rock guitarist on the planet.

  • Oh hell yes!!!! so, so, so underrated....but truly appreciated.

  • Gotta love the loser in the end :rofl

  • Hadn't heard this song in 20 years or so......still kicks ass!

    They always had that unique sound, kinda bluesy, kinda rock. Perfect fusion of the 2 sounds.

  • Great White is awesome, i think that Jack Russel's voice one one of the best of the hair metal genre, then again i don't consider Great White a hair metal band

  • man I loved these guys growing up a little bit of rock and a little bit of blues simply the best I wonder if there are any tribute bands cause I have never heard of any

  • cool tune.reminds me of a monday.

  • but the culture back then for women was, makeup, long hair, and earrings. the spandex rockers wore makeup, long hair, and earrings. it wasn't just "kiss" costumes either. they really did look like women. wtf??

  • dude GW was not your typical hair band they were very,very different in a very good way, not the run of the mill glam band that you had back then

  • I think Great white is better then any led zepplin band.

  • Do not blame us, Point the finger at the music industry.

  • Got this on a mixed tape back in the day,loved the song so I went and bought my first GW album,Recovery Live,what an outstanding album,such great songs on it,especially-On your knees!!!!

  • one of thier better songs but they do even better on Since I Been Loving You I think I like it better then Zep's sometimes ! I met Jack back in the day when he first picked up a mic, way back in Rolltation days and did "tubes" with Bush and Bill N. remember those days Jack (lol)? I know you wont remember me but hey really sorry about RI Jack hope things are better for you these days seriously ! wheres Happy ? havnt seen him or Bill N. or Bush for a while ! I hear Bush is a transexual now ?!? bye

  • As a mad Angels fan from 1978 in OZ, Face The Day was always a great song live.Especially when Rick Brewster got those clever,peak hour city sounds from his guitar and pedals at the start of the song. These guys went ok for me and i have heard a lot worse covers than this one, i'll give you the tip.

  • I don't wanna face this song done by any band other than Angel City.

  • very funny!

  • My new favorite Oldie! Never new it existed!!!

    MEOW!!

  • my favorite great white song.

  • What music video show/channel was this on?.

  • ONLY THE ANGELS CAN DO IT !!!

  • SHITE!!

  • awesome tune!

  • A worthy tribute to a superb aussie classic rock song ...
