European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 14, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tony 00 000 Michael to d e twice shy not great White by Linda Romine Cox news service a shark Fin rips through red Satin sheets Between two nubile half naked blondes. Offensive Michael Lardie does t understand Why. Heavy Metal group great White s guitarist and keyboardist insists that the pictorial spread was the perfect illustration for the cover of the band s current album the Multi Platinum twice shy. A it s part of our thing a he explained during a phone interview. Quot the Fin is obviously part of the shark  sensing some scepticism on the part of his female interviewer Lardie continued the explanation. Quot it s not that i m sensitive about this a he began. A but it s an interesting thought when you think about who is being exploited. Obviously the women who come and make it a Point of trying to be with the band it s very premeditated on their  members of great White who like to boast As much about their on the Road exploits with groupies As their blues based Metal sound Are not shy about their rapacious obsession for the opposite sex. Quot we have a great respect for women Quot Lardie said. Quot and they Are in it to have As much fun As we Are. It s like any other profession. People in sports and politics have the same contingent of women on the fringes. They never seem to get a bad rap for it. A everyone assumes we treat women very  such assumptions Are fuelled by the Macho bravado of tattooed Lead Singer Jack Russell. In addition to Lardie great White is rounded out by the Black hatted Mark Kendall on Lead guitar drummer Audie Desbrow and bassist Tony Montana. After releasing out of the night As an Independent record in 1983, californians great White put out a self titled Effort a year later on the Emi America Label. But the shark machine did t shift into High gear until a few tries later with 1987�?Ts once bitten. That million seller featured top 10 tracks such As Rock me lady red Light and the Ballad save your love. It catapulted great White onto a never ending Road trip. Like other bands that emerged in the Early 1980s, great White s sound is derived from led Zeppelin the rolling stones and Aero Smith. In turn the influences stretch Back to such blues artists As Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters. Quot i think there a a real mixture of styles in our songs a Lardie said. People attending their live shows can forget about hearing album perfect reproductions of great White Staples such As once bitten twice shy and House of broken love. Quot our performance is different in every City Quot Lardie said. Quot we re a band that does t believe in any augmentative backing tracks. Not that it s my place to open up and expose bands that do that. Quot very diplomatic this Metal Meister. Quot its the Kissinger touch Quot he said  a pop a singles 1.

Every heavy Metal band has at least one leaving few riffs unturned. How can a Guy attract some attention with so much Competition Jeff Beck who first won Fame As a guitar pyrotechnic Iai in the 1960s, decided to make studio gadgetry the Cornerstone of the mostly instrumental Jeff Beck s guitar shop. Bad idea the result is High tech but no soul. This music contains a Little Rock a Little jazz and a lot of microchips. Beck filters his guitar through every Gizmo Money can buy and he jumps from one timbre to another for no Good reason. Thi synthesizers of Tony Hymas Only reinforce the cold 21st Century ambience. The music works Best when Beck settles on one sett ii and just plays which he does a few times. The slow where were you features a pretty Melody but ends abruptly Sling shot is propelled by reckless scorching licks and Day in the House offers a great guitar break and even a political Point of View. Most of the rest is Beck deck. Nothing Here approaches his Fine 70s fusion albums blow by blow and wired or his More recent gorgeous work on Rod Stewart s cover of people get ready. Beck should i less attention to knobs and Levels and More attention Melody and rhythm. A by Steven wine the of Kanes a imagine that the o Kanes composed of Jamie o Hara and Kiera Kane have had All the critical acclaim they can standi what they need now is a super hit that will make then instantly recognizable. Commercial Success is not easy to predict but the of Kanes have put together another album that is i Superb. First off o Hara and Kane who co wrote All in selections have shaded this one More  fair will notice this on the first Cut Why should i which utilizes More traditional instrumentation. The title Cut is a terrific tune and could be the one that gives the o Kanes their boost. The Harmony on imagine that without question sets them apart. The new direction the of Kanes music is going is quite impressive and should bring the duo Many Mord fans. A by Jim Lewis 1bobby a a Bobby z Bobby z was accustomed to accolades when he was a drummer with Prince and the revolution but now he will have to get used to the Praise As a Solo artist. In his debut album Bobby a he has come up with a Good sounding array of music that leaves one i wonder Why he waited so Long to go out on his own. One would expect Funk Rock but its nowhere to be found on the album. A Good pop beat and wide Variell of moods Are prevalent. The first two tracks give in yen and lie by lie tempt the listener to continue listening. The Ballad like Gre heart was originally Sal for Roy Orbison but the Way Bobby z presents the tune indicates his versatility. Possibly the Best on the album May be you Are everything which has All the ingredients for a Tex of pop song a Good beat smooth rhythm Catchy Sou j and solid lyrics. There Are some songs that take away from the album but Overall its a decent debut with Ai goo sound. A by Bob  . A carved in Sand the passion the horror. Listening to Mission u.
