Quiz #82 - Great White "Call it Rock n' Roll"

If my memory serves me well, the tour bus was featured in another of their videos...

UPDATED:

No, my memory played tricks on me, it was not the tour bus but a trailer :P

Formed in the early '80s by vocalist Jack Russell and guitarist Mark Kendall, Great White were regulars of the L.A. club scene, playing their Led Zeppelin- and AC/DC-influenced metal to a quickly growing fan base. Local radio play and more gigging helped sell 20,000 copies of their independent releases, the "Out of the Night" EP and the full-length "Shot in the Dark", both released in 1983.

The EMI label took notice, signed the band, and released its self-titled, major-label debut a year later. "Shot in the Dark" would be reissued by the label in 1987, the same year as the new album "Once Bitten..." appeared with the hit single "Rock Me." The album went platinum, but 1989's "...Twice Shy" took things even further thanks in no small part to the massive success of the single "Once Bitten Twice Shy," a cover of a Mott the Hoople song written by Mott member Ian Hunter.

Long tours with Ratt and a co-headlined tour with Tesla kept the band out of the studio until 1991 when the polished "Hooked" appeared with two different album covers, one a provocative side shot of a mermaid hanging off an anchor in mid-air and one less scandalous with the mermaid still submerged. "Hooked" went gold while their 1992 follow-up, "Psycho City", sold less, leading to EMI saying goodbye to the band with the 1993 compilation "The Best of Great White".
