Add references section

Someone needs to add a Footnotes section and take the direct external page links and change them into reference links. If I get the time, I'll do it later--Bamadude 23:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

unsigned blather from anons

nice ironic lyrical coment.

I honestly don't think that lyric is needed, and it seems out of context and pointless, other than for irony. If nobody objects, I'll remove it.

~I removed the lyric, mainly because "once bitten" was a cover, Great White didn't write the lyrics thus they shouldn't be attributede to them, even if they do mention fire.

I have a picture of the band to add under the information box. I'm not sure how to insert it. Here's the link to it. If someone wants to add it theirself, or/and show me how? Thanks. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l144/DaysOfThunder/GreatWhite.jpg

Allright, I got it up now. :-)

Michael Lardie & Audie Desbrow

Is there a reason why Michael Lardie & Audie Desbrow don't have their own biographies? When you click on their names it just redirects back to the Great White page.

This is usually the case throughout Wikipedia when a member of a band has virtually nothing significant outside their involvement in the band; e.g., no popular solo albums, no personal problems, no newsworthy info, etc. I don't know if that's the case with these two, but that's why that sort of thing happens. They may also have already had an article which was folded into and redirected back to the main article.--Bamadude 23:03, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Once Bitten Twice Shy sample from Twice Shy.ogg

Image:Once Bitten Twice Shy sample from Twice Shy.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Lineup

I think the lineup should be reformatted to match the one in AC/DC here (from Template:AC/DC timeline). — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 02:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead and do it. Might be a bit tricky with the two bands co-existing now, but maybe there is a way to do it. --Muhandes (talk) 09:55, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

List of Great White band members

Support split - Members section takes up close to half of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled List of Great White band members. --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:38, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

It's pretty poor but it does have an image so I don't suppose it's stub class.--I'll bring the food 01:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Ty Longley should be merged here. Wikipedia is not a memorial, the article is relatively short, and he never pursued a solo career or did anything significant to merit his own article. 2603:7000:2600:51DB:8CE2:3A1:734B:1D3C (talk) 17:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Original members?

While Mark Kendall is a founding member of Great White, Tony Richards was actually the original drummer before Gary Holland joined before the first album, thus making Kendall as the sole remaining original member. According to SillyCatGame (talk · contribs), however, Holland was one of the other founding members as indicated here and here. Given that, I think it makes sense to have either Kendall as the sole remaining original member of the group in the article, or even including Holland as an original member. Thoughts on what to do here? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:28, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

In that case,I think it's best to clarify that it's the first lineup of Great White, rather than the founding lineup. SillyCatGame (talk) 19:09, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
