Blabbermouth — Former GREAT WHITE frontman Jack Russell spoke to “The SDR Show” about “America’s Deadliest Concert: The Guest List”, a documentary about the infamous concert fire nearly two decades ago that killed a hundred people and injured hundreds more. The film received its premiere on Reelz on February 20.
The 61-year-old singer, whose pyrotechnics ignited the deadly blaze on February 20, 2003 in Rhode Island, stated about the making of the documentary: “It was tough. ‘Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve. And I didn’t wanna do anything but be really honest and upfront and open about everything that I know and my knowledge about the fire and about what happened and about what it did to me personally and how it affected my friends and my family.
“It’s a beautifully done movie,” he continued. “It’s really, really well done. The producer, he was real sensitive about how he approached it and how he did it. You have to cover both sides of the story. There’s people that like Jack and there’s the people that hate Jack, and there’s the people in between. So you’ve gotta kind of put both sides up there. And some of the stuff was really difficult for me to hear. When people call you a murderer or they wish you were dead, it’s hard to hear that stuff. But I do understand it. People grieve in different ways, and if that’s what it takes for them to grieve and feel better, more power to ’em.”
