Unsafe concert conditions seem to know no genre boundaries in the mid-pandemic era. Two weekends ago, it was country artists Chase Rice and Chris Janson stirring outrage when they proudly posted vi…

“Attending a Great White concert during a pandemic and surviving” sounds like a David Blaine magic trick.Although they were in the minority, there were some on social media defending Dickinson’s and the band’s right to put on shows with no coronavirus-related restrictions and fans’ right to attend.

If you’re mad people in North Dakota at a Great White concert aren’t wearing masks, get out of the house and get a hobbyGreat White didn't make people go to their concert. It's a free country and if people really want to see once bitten twice shy live, let them rock like its 1980!The version of the band that played Thursday in North Dakota has three members who have been with the group since the 1980s, along with lead singer Mitch Malloy, who joined in 2018.

“There’s no need to be out [in public places],” Russell said in an interview with Austria’s Mulatschag that was found and publicized by Blabbermouth. “People don’t take it seriously — they don’t take the virus seriously. It’s sad. …It’s no small wonder that when you open all these places up, ‘Gee, the numbers [of coronavirus cases] rose up.’ It’s, like, what did you think was gonna happen? It’s, like, ‘I took my mask off and I got COVID.’ Well, what a big surprise that is.

What does perfection have to do with it? I love how people use that excuse to do whatever they want.

Gotta have some good ole RnR!!! I miss Jack tho. They were so good when he was so good.

Mmm

Glad they will pay 100% of the medical bills for everyone that gets covid from their show.

I didn’t even know they were still together. Haven’t heard a thing about them in years. Actually forgot about them.

Great White did not kill ppl in the RI nightclub fire, the club owners who put up the wrong but cheap sound proofing and the idiot who lit pyrotechnics inside the club did.

I'd say, I guess 100 people burning up in a fire they started isn't enough.

But not far from stupid.

Dying to attend a maskless Great White concert during an epidemic... I guess bad taste in rock really can kill a person.

Haven’t we learned that if you go to a Great White show, there’s a good chance you will die

We all know this band has zero standards for their gigs...

Has another band killed over 100 people?

They didnt know Rock & Roll burned. The brought the Covid now they'll live(?) and they'll learn (?).

Rock Me is one of the best Hair Metal songs EVER!

No shit. They killed 100 fans before for by setting a nightclub on fire. Assholes.

Very far.

Good thing that heat kills the Covid

Got to imagine some other band already took Far From Perfect.

Oh, nobody ever thought you were perfect. Don't worry.

yes they have a storied history of respecting the safety of their fans.

Haven’t they killed enough people

wow... this band is sooooo bad

There was absolutely nothing wrong with that..no need to apologize.

Add it to their fucking death toll. 100 and counting.

That's ridiculous.

Who?

That’s not being “not perfect”... that’s reckless endangerment!! They knew full well what they were doing

Great picture showing the crrrrraaaazzzy eyes.

Wonder how many fans, or fan’s friends and family, they’ll kill by doing this? After alread killing 100 people due to negligence 17yr ago, I guess what are a few more? Right boys?

They haven't learned a damn thing about putting fan safety 1st. Thinking of all affected by TheStation fire in Rhode Island killing 100 and injuring approx 220. This isn't about grown people deciding to attend, it's about a band deciding to not go through with the gig if unsafe.

Far from perfect?! This is just plain common sense, that is if you truly care about your fans.

Indeed, very far

They BETTER apologize for helping people to have fun!

Not even the worst thing that could go wrong at a Great White concert

It’s the old ask for forgiveness not permission

Masks don’t work

Well at least they didnt burn the place down

Too late.

& they haven't played in front of a packed house since '93

Why aren’t these assholes still in jail? And who the fuck is a Great White fan?

theyr taking the sammy hagar approach

Sorry, but unless Jack Russel is singing for Great White... this a non Great White story.

🤨🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙄

It's amazing how many morons do not realize that THIS GREAT WHITE was NOT the Great White from the fire!!! The fire was at a show by their FORMER Lead Singer who was using the name with ANOTHER BAND!!!!! Educate your damned selves!

Hey GreatWhiteRocks haven't you killed enough of your fans? I realize you're basically a cover band at this point...not many original members since the late 70s...but show some class and respect for the fans you killed before. I knew one of those guys that died in your fire.

Well - guess this concert will kick off an outbreak in this state that has been doing pretty well.

I remember that fire like it was yesterday. So tragic!

Aren't they in the high risk age group for Covid?

WTF is Great White? Are they like a KKK rock band or something?
