No bubble gum here. The members of Great White are consummate pros of true Rock n' Roll. After twenty five-plus years together, they have it down, and they haven't lost their edge. PopStar caught up with this legendary band when they played at the House of Blues in Chicago, just a couple of weeks after our exclusive interview with Great White's guitarist and keyboardist Michael Lardie.
