Great White - Love is a Lie (video)

[Odiare666]

this is a good song when your relationship has just ended.

[FDGRebel]

Its a lie to say 'Love is a lie'

[panflutelistener]

@FDGRebel love is a tangible perception neither positive nor negative, in this song i believe jack refers to the huge social misconception of love which is, that it is beautiful and good. Love is what you make it, love is love, and sometimes it's the biggest nightmare if you love the wrong one. Love turns from promise to lie, says so in the lyrics :)

[shadowshine9]

I love this just for the lyrics, it's amazing how they fit so perfectly..

Too bad there are no other songs with meaning like this

[IcedRipper]

Best ballad band from the 80's;my fave for sure; most underated;Jack Russell is a killer vocalist and they are with out a doubt amazing blues/rock!Head and shoulders above any of the bands around that era.Songwriting at it's finest. Listen Mark Kendall's guitar tone, makes me weep every time.And yeah I'm man enough to say that this band makes me cry.

[71calg]

i 100 percent agree with everything you said i couldnt have said it better

[IcedRipper]

@71calg Thanks for your comment.

[Kingsnake77]

I prefer the piano intro, on the original album...

[streetstyler9880]

So breathe a last and broken sigh

Oh silent night come now to me

And if I dream of light come down

And be with me and in the dark we will not see

gives me goose bumps

[axltyler]

Too bad I can't purchase this album! or Hooked! on Amazon. But my friend has the CD and I was able to borrow it!

[flootisboy65]

I love the 2 people who disliked this song! but then again like the name of the song suggests.

[cncdolphins]

One of their best.. Jack hitting all the highs and lows, Kendall playing some of his best guitar and Lardie is incredible on the keyboard.. GREAT song here!

[TheEnno64]

I fuckin love that song ; )

[Sacrament80]

great song but love is real and we should not let our broken hearts blur our feelings..

[davefistr]

mishle !!! pochvam spirka tova ne skova !!!

[sweetouth20]

love is fake

no one ever felt it

its only in movies and stories

everyone who say they felt are kidding themselves

[LORDGOAT1976]

Id rather skrew this chick, but yeah Fuck anyone who hates Great White,

I want to hear them when they were called Dante Fox.

[chillidonker92]

screw the 2 haterss.

[DixiePenguin]

Says it all. So here's to you K.E.M. I hope your lies keep you warm because you will never let love do it. Thanks for destroying my heart and my world.

[DixiePenguin]

Says it all. So here's to you K.E.M. I hope your lies keep you warm because you will never let love do it.

[melodicexp]

@DixiePenguin Wow, heavy,,,,,,nice to know a song can help through some hard times. Very cool. I am sorry for your trouble and I wish and hope the best for you. I LOVE the Band and the album.

[89Pigsofdarkness]

[ROCKDRIGOSORTINO]

GREAT GREAT GREAT

[blazejecar]

man I really wish I would grow up in the 80s...Todays music compared to this is like an ant to our solar system in greatness...

especially love the solo :) took about 45 minutes to figure it out, now to master it...

[sacrednvisions]

@blazejecar it was GREEEEEAT to have been an 80's baby :) Ozzy , Dokken , Great White GNR , On & on , check out Tony Iommi 7th star great music , unrecognized , so many more :)

[VinceEverett6240]

This is one of Great White's best songs, IMO. I love the way in which it picks up at right around the 3:20 mark. This has to be one of my favorite serious metal ballads!

[hevymtlmaiden]

My hubby just left tonite..he decided he needed to clear his head...after i told him i couldnt handle his drinking anymore....14 yrs. together...now i feel lost...but i will rise again...love this tune though..it fits how i feel..

[thenickcar]

@rjasin123 great comment.....great white way ahead of their time

[metalman014]

I wouldn't say that. There were plenty of other good hair bands.

[thenickcar]

ok, i cant stop playing this song......over.....and...over.

[thenickcar]

all i can say is ,good lord what a song. unless your dead from the neck up ,this song passes right thru your heart . great song from a underrated band

[torque521]

I once was truly in love. Until recently I was married for 21 yrs. I forgave her for cheating on me & lying to me back in 2002. Now in 2009 I find out she has turned into a junkie. I booted her out 2 weeks ago. I did everthing 4 her 2 make her happy, gave her everything she wanted that I could afford & still after 21 yrs & three beautiful children I got the shaft. LOVE IS A LIE. I am done with ever feeling anything for anyone, but my family.

[blackbelted]

I have been threw the same my X put me threw hell and back. But I since re-married to her best friend we have been together for 17 years her X did the same to her we have 3 daughters and 2 grand kids we are happy so don't give up on true love Just pray and God will answer. It is her lost she will, regret it trust me just take care of your kids they are the real gift from God take care!

[torque521]

Thanks for the ecouraging words. The next problem is locating her to get the papers signed, she has disappeared. I just want to move forward with my life & she still continues to hold me back.

[blackbelted]

Wow it seems like your situation was just like mine. My x-wife dodge me 2 when she said she will sign the papers she never did so I still proceeded without her. Even after all these years my x still from time to time will pop up in my life always in a bad way. No that my grand daughter is born she wants to be a grandmother I said to her you have to be a mother first. My daughter wants nothing to do with her because my wife his the grandmother. If you ever need to talk just email me K!

[torque521]

Hey blackbelted, It's good to know that there are still really caring people left in this cruel world. I have since my last post forced her sign the papers & it will all be final on the 29th of DEC. I have also met a wonderful lady, we went on our first date Sat. & we are going out again this weekend. Turns out her Ex was also an addict. It's like the LORD connected me with people who really do care about other people. I finally see a possible bright future ahead. Thanks 4 your encouraging words

"True Love is not suppose to hurt,"

[izzydye]

well done. this is their high watermark as far as production, writing. The whole album is one of my favorites.

[rockflower83]

love this song!!!

[natalykarma]

BELISSIMO!!!!!!!

[Imhissweetestsin]

The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but The truth in masquerade.

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

[arsnascar]

Incredible!!

[dustynbones]

I believe that the woman in the video is the drummers wife.

[rozetim]

From which album is it?

[mana4887]

the album is "psychocity"

[rozetim]

thx :)

[rozetim]

Wow.....this is really beautifull!!!

I know most of their songs, but I've just discovered this one.

[hameron]

Not really a negative comment. Just more of an observation. Mista Bone and Queen of Sheba, I remember got no airplay. Well, pretty much all the videos from Hooked and Psycho City got no airplay as well. I would imagine videos were more expensive to produce back then.

[giannaluva65]

Your right now that i think of Great white's history.. in the 90's they must have not made any money with their videos since they got no airplay.

[waldonewman]

I do remember "The Big Goodbye",(Psycho City) got radio play where I'm from (Los Angeles Area). That was right at the end of the LA bands rock era.

[hameron]

Man, GW really blew a lot of money on videos. Not that I'm complaining.

[giannaluva65]

why do u say that? their videos are nothing special.....but their songs...now thats another story =) !!

[RegretlessRain]

One of my favourite songs...

[Foxyladyinvt]

damn straigt it is !!

[shellaroe]

Perhaps a repeat...yet Love is Only a Lie when not being practical...Ha, ha, ha. True love does not hurt. Love's only a lie to the those who lie to themselves. To be ONLY practical is a lie. The rest of us dream, of true love....

[dustynbones]

Very well put but I do believe that you might agree in wanting to reedit your input now that it's two months later?

Yes ... "True Love is not suppose to hurt,"

And absolutely ... "Love's only a lie to those who lie to themselves."

But Isn't this what you should have meant to say;

"To be ONLY practical is NOT a lie ... The rest of us dream and live of true love."

[progist101]

When will I ever learn. Yup love IS a lie. Good video....

[conspalm]

woman is a lie

[Drucilla27]

Super Lied!

Und so war!

Manche mußten es schon erfahren!

[frankmarrelli79]

Absolutely GREAT!!!
