… Kendall admitted that he "didn't know a lot about Mitch" before the singer joined GREAT WHITE. "And that's not to say he's not great," Mark explained. "When you're touring and touring and touring and you're making records, it's hard to follow everybody's career and all that. But he's got a bunch of solo albums; he's been around. And he's got a lot of fans. I mean, he's been on Jay Leno and stuff like this. But somehow he escaped my radar. People love him. He's been going to Europe for years. People know who he is. So it's not like we just grabbed this random dude off the street. I mean, this guy has fans. It's a joy, and he delivers our songs really well. And he really likes our music a lot. That means a lot too. He really digs the music. He's passed on CHICAGO. I think he was second in line with JOURNEY; [he] kind of got beat out by the Filipino guy [Arnel Pineda]. And I understand why. That guy sounds so much like [Steve] Perry, if you close your eyes… I mean, it's close. And that's what they wanted, so, of course, that worked out great for them."...
