Abstract: We present a summary of AMANDA results obtained in searches for neutrinos from GammaRayBursts (GRBs). Using simulations, we show how the IceCube detector, which is currently beingconstructed at the South Pole, will improve the sensitivity of the search. In order to improve the prospectsfor detections of gamma-ray dark bursts (e.g. choked bursts), as well as core collapse Supernovae (SNe),we discuss a novel follow-up scheme of high energy neutrino events from IceCube. Triggered by neutrinoevents from IceCube, a network of small optical telescopes is meant to monitor the sky for SNe risinglightcurves and GRB afterglows. The observing program is outlined and its status discussed.
