Jack Russell hated the song—and then he couldn’t get the timing right! Robbie Lockner tells the fascinating, intimate story behind recording the track “Crazy” for the He Saw It Coming album. He recounts how Jack initially rejected the track and struggled to find the right flow. Robbie ultimately coached the legendary singer, telling him he needed to get that “sexy flow like Steven Tyler,” a cue that worked perfectly to nail the final vocal take.

This is the kind of behind-the-scenes story you can only get here! What’s your favorite track from He Saw It Coming? Tell us below!

Forget the 10-song record—Once Bitten is embracing the modern single strategy! Robbie Lockner explains the band’s unconventional recording plan, noting that they will focus exclusively on singles to better focus the audience and avoid becoming a “blip on the radar”. He also addresses the challenge of moving beyond the built-in legacy audience and whether the new material will move outside of the classic Great White sound.

Jack Russell’s final wish drove his bandmates to continue—but that’s not the only controversy here! Robbie Lockner of Once Bitten details the difficult decision to carry on after Jack Russell’s tragic passing. He reveals that Jack explicitly told the band to continue if they could, leading to the formation of Once Bitten. The segment takes a controversial turn when Robbie dismisses Mark Kendall’s Great White, claiming they have “no buzz” and are not on Once Bitten’s “radar.”
