Great White is an American blues-based rock band known primarily for their hit "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", a cover version of a song written by Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter. Great White formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California. Their songs were derivative of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Mott the Hoople, and lead singer Jack Russell had Robert Plant's wail down almost perfectly, which later showed well when in 1999, the band released Great Zeppelin: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin.
