Great White Station Fire Special on VH1

Some of you may remember a pretty awful event that occurred around five years ago. Great White was playing at The Station in West Warwick, Rhode Island when a pyrotechnics set up engulfed the building in flames, killing 100 people and injuring over 200 more.

Well, VH1 didn't forget. Billboard reports that a one-hour benefit concert honoring the five-year anniversary and the memory of those who weren't lucky enough to make it out alive, including Great White's lead guitarist Ty Longley.

Honestly, I didn't really understand how awful this event really was until I read up on it more just a while ago. I was first chuckling to myself that VH1 was airing a concert for this and then I felt terrible after getting all the details as this really was a pretty horrific event. To learn more, you can trust this wiki article, which, according to Michael Scott "Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information," a true genius.

The VH1 special will air on VH1 and VH1-Classis on March 23rd at 10pm with Poison's Bret Michaels hosting the event which will include Twisted Sister, Dierks Bentley, Gretchen Wilson, Randy Owen from Alabama, other, and interviews from survivors of the fire. If you're not going to be out that night, it should be a pretty fun concert to watch; however, if you're antsy and want to see it before it airs, you can log onto www.vh1classic.com and get a preview of the event.
