Great White is one of my favorite bands of all time. I'm so sad that Jack has allowed substance abuse to ruin his life. If you want to keep kids off of drugs, show them an old Jack Russell performance, followed by this one. It's a sad commentary. I wish Jack the best, I love his music. Also, the fire was not the band or Jack's fault.
After the "Station" fire that killed 99 people, including the bands guitarist "Ty", Jack Russells' drug addiction became more brutal.... Some might say survivors guilt???
@christincosby - you're a sorry ass! Let's see what you look like in 20 years and battling a disease. You've all ready proved you're no talent so the rest follows...
@cruefan77 he's on heroin and just had major back surgery before this show.. He's also a crack head and alcoholic.. This video is sad to watch. He was in no shape to be on the road...
Right you are. The tour before the one in 2003, I was the Tour Mananger for Jack Russell's solo project & I worked with many of the band members that were there the night of the fire. (I'd even met Dan, the TM at the time of the fire). Dan should have known better since he'd worked with WASP in the past & was seasoned in the business. the event, the venue, and the pyro used, all need to be liscensed & approved - including the pyro tech themselves. The TM & the pyrotech shouldn't be the same.
@RoadieRon Perhaps you're correct. But even a child would know to have a fire extinguisher handy in case things got out of hand. How could anyone be so impossibly mentally retarded to have rationalized not having one? Oh yeah - that's rock 'n roll! Would've fucking beaten that man to death if one of my family members was involved...
@marcusdolby1 Oh - we have a pop psychiatrist among us? I spent a week looking over the publicly available information on this tragedy. There's nothing left to investigate. One man's stupidity led to 100 deaths and inestimable suffering. Now shut up and go fuck yourself.
@beeroosterm I tried fucking myself and it didnt work out. So instead I looked into your anger towards Jack and couldnt find one reason he is to blame in anyway.
@marcusdolby1 Perhaps you're too fucking stupid to see the connection. No matter. And frankly, those guys were washed up long before they killed 100 people. Do i really need any more reasons?
@marcusdolby1 Blame? Who cares at this point? It wouldn't matter if all responsible committed hara kiri. 100 people died - they couldn't kill themselves enough...
@beeroosterm We seem to be dancing around. I agree they should not have died and it was a horrible thing to happen. I didnt know anyone who died but a friend of mine who lives in Warwick did know a person who perished.
I think the ones who were responsable were dealt with. I never called you a name and didnt mean to offend you, but I dont understand why you attacked me. I dont like great White and never did. But to blame Jack seems kind of.........loose.
@xx2n23 OK Fanboy. Whatever. Your statements have nothing to do with how this band was working at the time of the fire. It has nothing to do with moving on. Its about taking RESPONSIBILITY. My origial statements makes perfect sense. Karma is a bitch. Where did I say I hated anyone? The truth is the truth, like it or not. Jack fell over because he was drunk or had taken too much pain meds. But I'm sure you'll blame gravity and not Jack. Because thats what Fanboys do. .
@xx2n23 Lies? OK Fanboy. THERE WAS NO PRODUCTION CREW! The tour manager was all they had. He did the managing, and the pyro. JACK was too cheap to hire more people. Jack hired that tour manager because he was trained to do pyro as well as be the tour manager. R U Following along? Jack is the boss. He writes the checks so he gets what he wants, and he wanted pyro. 25+ years in the biz. I know exactly what I'm talking about. I know the band, the club owners and 4 people that died. Run along Jr.
@xx2n23 Funny how you think I'm the ignorant dellusional one, when you know nothing about how this band works. Jack was the boss. He wanted pryo. End of story. Production crew? What production crew? LOL! For you to think for 1 second that the band just shows up & plays and has no input as to the "production" of the show makes you are just a blind fan boy. Standing up and taking responsibility isn't something Jack wouldn't know anything about. Just passes the buck.
@xx2n23 You know NOTHING. Jack was too cheap to hire a tour manager, pyro guy, and roadie. He was also the one who wanted the pyro. Big man playing shit clubs thinking he's still a big shot. jack wishes he was half the man that his tour manager turned out to be. He stood up &took responsibility for his part.. No on else did. .Esp. Jack. So if he falls over and shits himself for the rest of his miserable life he still got off easier than my friends and their families. Karma is a BITCH! FU2
Mark: What's happened is Jack (Russell) has had a ton of health issues that have literally made it impossible for him to perform. He was doing it (performing) with (the aid of) stools and we were getting ridiculed. People were saying, "Why are you taking that man out there (on stage) in that condition?" He's getting a lot better, he just had another surgery, so hopefully he pulls it out.
hard to watch, but he is a trooper! was recovering from back surgery, prolly should have been still resting instead of on stage..now hes recovering from another surgery, but hell be back!
So sad to see him go down like that. I remember seeing Jack around the time his For You solo record came out. Jack moved around that stage like it was 1987.
Supposedly he broke his back some time ago, and it appears that he still hasn't recovered as of yet. My brother and I saw them when this first happened and it wasn't a good show at all.
Time to hang it up Jack you aren't doing your fans a service by performing in this shape. Band is still tight but can't say the same for Jack.
@MMCKEE1963 -- I think he's got an obligation to tour as compensation for the victims of the fire at the Station. This is actually much sadder than just a substance abuse problem. I truly feel for everyone affected by this tragedy.
@Knowitalways No, the band said they wouldn't play it anymore because it reminded them of the tragedy not out of respect. They play it again because their FANS want to hear it. I feel bad for all the families and I even have a friend on Facebook who was in that fire and she got 50% of her body burned however life goes on and it wasn't the "SONG" that started the fire.

when this happens (repeatedly) it's time to call it quits,not only for jack and crew-but for gods sake-leave well enough alone,and go out gracefully-Would you send a boxer in the ring with head injuries?
I SAW JACK PERFORM WITH HIS NEW BAND JACK RUSSELLS GREST WHITE HE CLEAN NOW AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS.AND CAN STILL SING!!!!
