Great White is guilty as a mofo

[BigRedCat]

Looks like they were going around lighting off fireworks at several previous shows without permission. Freakin idiots. How stupid do you have to be to light off fireworks indoors at a little club?

 

[jerkbox]

i'm sure they carry some kind of insurance....

They already are a nothing band, that is why they were playing to 300 people. Its sad that all the hair bands are trying to make comebacks. The Scorpions and Whitesnake are on tour now as well, although they are playing real venues and not dive bars.

Anyone that needs fireworks to make their show impressive must be shit.

Why don't rock bands use lasers and strobes lol

 

[BigRedCat]

Dont worry Vinyl, our live shows will have lasers and strobes. I dont like pyro much, I prefer cool lighting effects. You gonna come see us play when we hit Sydney and Melbourne?

Real venues?
They played a bowling alley in our town.

It is only a matter of time before pics of people who were burned but still lived surface on the internet and results in a huge EF crusade against people who listen to Great White.
All joking aside, this was awful regardless of who's to blame. I can't imagine what those people went through who didn't make it out of the club.
Not to get too morbid, but do most people in this situation die from smoke inhalation and asphyxiation or is it from being burned? I would hope that no one in that situation had to go through that kind of pain, or were at least unconscious when the fire got to them.

You would have to be retarded to perform a pyro show in a small club.

dayom...they are already looking for a new guitarist and continuing their tour

According to the New York Daily News, Great White singer Jack Russell is wasting no time in scouting for a replacement for guitarist Ty Longley, who died after a pyrotechnics display got out of control in Rhode Island on Thursday. "I personally would like to express my heartfelt condolences to those families of the loved ones who perished, as well as Ty ... in the tragedy at the Station," Russell said in a Web message. "We will continue our tour with a replacement guitarist sometime in the next few days."

CNN showed a clip of a Kiss tribute band setting off pyro at the same club, two nights/shows in a row....Nothing was said by mangement from what they reported....This is going to turn into alot of finger pointing....Both parties will probally go down hard.

one word, Rammstein.

BTW, I believe most fire deaths are caused by smoke inhalation. Sounds like a lot of folks suffered quite badly at that club though. eek.

There's a similarly sized venue in Cambridge (UK not Mass). Shit, no-one in their sane senses would set fireworks off in there...

But notice the difference between the 2 pyro setups.... Kisstory used 3-foot sparklers that ended somewhere near thier waists... Great White was using 10 footers that were running hot... big difference....

 

[The Ranger]

True...But one thing I noticed....That board behind them that burned....That shit went up QUICK!!! I mean poof, and the whole thing, all the way to the ceiling was engulfed in seconds....
