Musicians

The Resume

    (1981- )
    Last official lineup included:
    Jack Russell (vocalist)
    Mark Kendall (guitarist)
    Ty Longley (September 4, 1971-February 20, 2003, guitarist)
    Dave Filice (bassist)
    Eric Powers (drummer)
    Known for single 'Once Bitten Twice Shy' and for albums such as 'Shot in the Dark,' 'On Your Knees' and 'Once Bitten'

Why they might be annoying:

    Their biggest hit was a remake of Ian Hunter's song 'Once Bitten Twice Shy.'
    The band's lineup changed constantly.
    They did a cover of Led Zepplin's 'Stairway to Heaven,' which was considered by many rock bands too sacred to remake.
    Lead singer, Jack Russell, shares his name with a breed of dog, the Jack Russell Terrier.
    Their use of pyrotechnics in a small-venue concert resulted in a fire that killed 99 people (February 20, 2003).
    That fire became the fourth deadliest fire in US history.
    The tragedy set off a finger-wagging war where the band alleged that the nightclub owners allowed them to use the pyrotechnics but the owners deny that they did allow the fireworks for the show.
    The band's album sales increased slightly since the tragedy.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They lost their guitarist (Ty Longley) in the fire.
    The tragic fire, along with the Chicago nightclub stampede that killed 21 club goers a few days beforehand, brought attention to the issue of nightclub safety.
