GREAT WHITE's Jack Russell - "This Band Is Better Than It's Ever Been"
September 16, 2008, 16 years ago
Rock Eyez has issued an interview with GREAT WHITE's Jack Russell. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Brian Rademacher:
Q: A few years ago in 2005 when I was leaving the Starland Ballroom venue in NJ they were handing out Great White tickets for free on the way out. I still have those tickets. Now in 2008 you can’t get a hold of your tickets because they are sold out. Why do you feel the fans are back once again?
A: "You know (laughing), it’s funny you say that. I don’t know, I was thinking about that myself. It’s one of those wonderful miracles. The last five six years our attendance has gone up, ticket prices gone up, we’re making more money and playing for more people. I think it has to do with getting the original guys back together and making another record. This band is better then it’s ever been. I really can’t say this with enough emphasis that we really appreciate what we’re doing and we’re so blessed for what we do. Everyday you go on stage you have to say thanks for that, you never know how long this is going to last. You get into this business and you think your going to live forever and you say hey I’m almost fifty years old. I’m not going to live forever and it’s not going to last forever, if I can make it a few more years that would be really cool."
