Great White is an American blues-based rock and glam metal band. Great White formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California under the name Dante Fox. Their sound is notable for its similarities to Led Zeppelin: Great White singer Jack Russell's vocals are often also very similar to Robert Plant's distinctive wail. Great White were managed for a significant amount of time by Alan Niven (he also co-wrote with them), who also notably went on to manage Guns 'n Roses. Great White are still creatively active, and still tour. Recently, Great White has received attention due to their involvement in the The Station nightclub fire, which led to the deaths of 100 people in West Warwick, Rhode Island in 2003. Musically, they are known primarily for their hit "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", a cover version of a song written by Ian Hunter.

Great White started life as Dante Fox, playing their first gig in 1981 at The Troubadour in Hollywood.
