Hooked (Great White album)
Hooked is the fifth full-length studio album by the American hard rock band Great White, released in 1991. Though lacking a recognizable hit single and not commercially as successful as "...Twice Shy", it still managed to peak at No. 18 on the "Billboard" 200 album chart. The album was certified Gold in April 1991. 'Hooked' was the last Great White album to feature bassist Tony Montana. In Q Magazine 's Jeff Clark-Meads described the album as "relaxed, mellow and endearing - though this is likely to engender disappointment for those who hitherto considered Great White  a metal act." Cover art. The original album cover art was photographed by famous fashion photographer John Scarpati and features a nude female model (Kristine Rose) being hoisted out of the sea by a large hook. The cover was judged too risque by the label and replaced by art director Hugh Syme shortly after the initial pressing with an alternative cover that has the hook still below the sea level and the model partially submerged, so that only her head and arms are visible. Desert Moon. The song "Desert Moon" was a minor hit and on February 20, 2003, was  Great White's live opening song during which pyrotechnics ignited The Station nightclub fire, killing 100 people, including the band’s then-lead guitarist Ty Longley. The band did not perform "Desert Moon" live for six years after the fire, but as of 2009, they have resumed performing the song again. The initial Japanese pressing retained the original cover, and added a bonus CD entitled "Live in New York", recorded at Electric Lady Studios on May 31, 1991. Charts. Singles.
