Great White guitarist Mark Kendall was the latest guest in Final Resonance TV’s “Van Halen Stories” series. Kendall witnessed the rise of Van Halen from their backyard party days to becoming the biggest rock and roll band in the land.

Kendall was a high school student in Huntington Beach, California at the time he first saw Van Halen perform at a junkyard for one dollar. Hear him tell host Jeff Goebel that story and much more in the video above!
