No matter what others say, Whitesnake it's a great band,with great songs and great musicians. One of the best hard rock bands. I saw them 4 times live and they were always fantastic.

The singer is David Coverdale and, I believe, was in Deep Purple for a while.

The term Hair Metal did not exist in the '80s, it was coined in the late 90''s. If you delve deep into the Hair Metal Bands without preconceived biases you will realize very quickly that these were were some of the best musicians to ever lay hands on an instrument. and a microphone. As with any era of music, there was a lot of crap but there were also fantastic bands, songs, and music that are still around today. Whitesnake had been around for 8 years before this album was released. Of course, music is extremely subjective and people will like what they like and vice versa.

The best music era. I was on Whitesnake concert in Berlin 1990. It was like magic.

It’s called hair bands. I grew up in the 70-80’s what a time to be alive

I always have a good time listening to hair metal. In my opinion it’s all about not taking yourself too seriously.

This was the MTV Whitesnake. I much preferred the original lineup with the Moody/ Marsden guitar partnership and John Lord. That was a much more blues rock/ classic rock band. Trouble, Lovehunter and Ready and Willing are fantastic albums.

The original version of this was the best, not this made for MTV version.

You must listen to..in the still of the night and is this love.

For your introduction to hair metal you picked one of the absolute best songs of that genre! This song to me is something I could put on repeat and not get tired of hearing. This was in my high school days and recalls so ,many memories.

I cant believe you reacted to this! This is probably my favorite hair band song of all time! Yes very simple song but it never gets old! And to me the vocalist is very underrated! Glad you did this! Thanks so much for doing it!

There is an older, "original" version of the song, released a few years before. But this one became quite a hit. Whitesnake originated in the 70s, Coverdale briefly was part of Deep Purple before. I never was too big on 80s hair metal/pop-metal myself. But it is played frequently at my place, because my daughter is going through a serious Europe-phase 🙈🙈🙈 I can't really say why, but I blame it on MTV 80s - never, never show it to your kids.

I was about to say the exact same thing. the 1982 version from "Saints and Sinners" is FAR superior - bluesy, soulful, with hammond organ

Classic rock is the best music that’s ever been made

Foreigner is another great band from the 80s check out..that was yesterday and feels like the first time.

Yeah, the video was awesome, and included David Coverdale's future wife, Tawny Kitaen doing very impressive dancing on a couple of cars.

There were two versions of Whitesnake, the one you just listened to, and the earlier blues-rock oriented Whitesnake (1976-1982). In 1983, singer David Coverdale began transforming the band from a bluesy, Deep Purple-influenced sound to a more commercially successful metal sound. David Coverdale replaced Ian Gillan as vocalist for Deep Purple from 1973 to 1976.

I enjoy playing Still Of The Night and Is This LOVE on my guitar...

Still of the night was a pretty good song from these guys, you should check that one out.

Well, if you are going in this direction as a diversion, Whitesnake is not the worse you can try. David Cloverdale is the singer and main song writer and came from Deep Purple where he did some great stuff with Richie Blackmore. Try Still of the Night next. One time lead guitarist John Sykes left and formed his own, harder edged hard rock band called Blue Murder. They were killer on their debut album, try Blue Murder, Valley of the King and Billy. Just my opinion but UFO was better than any hair band by a long shot. Hair metal can be fun and some bands are pretty good, but if you are serious about hard rock and heavy metal in it pure form, with a guitarist better than most anyone else, get back to UFO, a huge influence on Def Leppard. Sorry for the rant, just trying to promote one of the most underrated bands of all time. Thank for playing what you do, Rock On. 😎

UFO's beginning was great with Boogie, Timothy and Prince Kajuku, but Michael Schenker lifted them to the next level, the 5 studio albums and Strangers in the night are all classic albums, you can always listen to them. Later stuff was not really relevant for me anymore, but finally saw them live in 2019 for the very first time. Phil Mogg only remaining founding member, but in good shape for someone his age. Fun fact: the re-release of UFO's Force it (probably as LP) entered the german charts this week somewhere in the 40s or 50s. Better performing re-releases were Metallica - Black album at #1, I'm waiting now for the charts of England, USA, Japan and others. Another great re-release is Marillions Fugazi at #4, can you believe that ?

The singer was with Deep Purple years before. The song tells a story so many men ended finding themselves in.

38 Special 'Hold on Loosely'... Right after 'Here I Go Again' a favorite of mine from, what I liked to call, 'Head-Banger' rock. Metal-Pop, heavy rock, rock ballads, rock anthems... I've also said that it's just Rock n Roll and who cares what it's called! It's just good music! Of course so was Lobo, Jim Croce, Journey, Queen, Heart and Fleetwood Mac... (to name but a few) :)

YEAH, 38 Special would be another "new genre", having started as some kind of southern rock, having one of the Van Zant brothers as singer, becoming later more radio friendly, discovered them when I was in the USA in 82 for the first time.... and from 38 Special it's a short step to bands like Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot, which are a little heavier, but great music, have seen both bands live here in Germany. Seeing the Molly Hatchet guitar army playing open air at wonderful Loreley Amphitheatre above the river Rhine is a memory I'll never forget,songs like Bounty Hunter, Gator Country, Boogie no more etc etc. Blackfoot's live album Highway Song is also fantastic, Ricky Medlocke (now Lynyrd Skynyrd) is a great guitar player, composer and singer, and the songs, where they had intros of his grandfather Shorty Medlock playing the harp, the banjo and singing (FOX CHASE ! ) are epic

Sorry you had to go through that...uhhh. Ooops. The world NEVER Talks about Their BEST ALBUM EVER.. The one before this one. EVERY SONG. on "SLIDE IT IN"...... The BEST ..

Hi Guys, this was one of two big hits off "1987" the other one was the power ballad "Is this love" which is one of the best you'll ever hear from that genre. Would also recommend "Crying in the Rain" and "Still of the night" which IMO are the most impressive songs on the album. Coverdale vocally was really firing on all cylinders on this album, his range, power and control is unbelievable, and the musicianship was superb. They toured down under in '95 and saw them in Sydney, will never forget it, they played most of the songs from the album, phenomenal concert! Best Wishes

Its Whitesnake....not White Snake ! Now time to react to the song Still of the Night and Cryin' in the Rain from the same album ! ;-)

This video was in constant rotation on MTV for at least 2 years. Check it out. Tawny Kitaen, the girl in the video who recently died, married David Coverdale the singer

Uh-oh the dreaded hairspray metal bands of the 80's Careful with any open flames, lol. I was like Nick, they were kinda ridiculed by us "real" metal fans. Hair spray bands I remember besides Whitesnake were Autograph, Bon Jovi, Britney Fox, Cinderella, Europe, Great White, Poison, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Vixen, Warrant, Winger, White Lion to name a few. I didn't put Def Leppard, Motley Crue or Scorpions into that category. I did like the video for this song, the beautiful Tawny Kitaen was in it, who recently passed away, R.I.P. Here's the official Whitesnake video - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ia16mrSBfZS1c8o.html In all seriousness they do have catchy songs and admit I do like some of their songs. The one thing I like about your channel, evidence here, is the wide variety of music you guys play. Bring on the hairspray.

Hey Nick N Lex. The guitarists in this first iteration are Vivian Campbell, ex Dio, and Adrian Vandenberg. Steve Vai played on their 1989 album Slip of the Tongue. Good song, great reaction as always. Keep up the good work.

Hair Metal. What took you so long? So many talented bands. My era of rock clubbin. Love this stuff and of course the girls!!!! This was one of their radio songs. They got some real bangers if you dig into them.

I love Whitesnake ! They had all the heavy hitters coming from metal like Tommy Aldridge Rudy Sarzo Vivian Cambell etc....!

Whitesnake rode on the coatsils of Zeppelin. Tried to fill the void that was left after Bonzo died and Zeppelin couldn't continue. You will hear alot of Robert Plant's vocals in David Coverdale. So much so that Jimmy Page worked with him and toured with him.Doing some Zeppelin songs as well as their own material. Here's a couple of 80's bands you can look into.RIOT, MONTROSE,MSG(The Micheal Schenker Group) BOSTON, BE BOP DELUXE. KANSAS, CINDERELLA I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I first heard Led Zeppelin in 1974 at 10 years old. every band that followed were influenced or tried to do what Zeppelin did. And to this day nobody has come close. That's why Led Zeppelin is the greatest band to ever grace the stage. They were then, They are Today, And will forever be the greatest band of all time. There are no bad Zeppelin songs, only timeless masterpieces. No other band can make that claim. I am very fortunate to have been a teenager the 70's and I got to see these great bands live. Scorpions,Priest,MSG,Nugent, Aerosmith,Maiden,Sabbath,Purple, Dio,Ozzy, Disturbed,Rainbow,Floyd, the only band I didn't see was my favorite Led Zeppelin. They sold out in 76 then I had reserved front row tickets for the 1980 US tour. Sadly that was when we lost Bonzo. Keep rocking

I never liked hair bands, but this group was much better than most. Very slick production on this one. Journey doesn't count as a hair band!

It's not back of the car with some beers at all. It's hood of the car with a gratuitously hot girl. Seriously -- earlier Whitesnake. They were a spin-off of Deep Purple; Coverdale sang for Deep Purple; some of the earlier records had Jon Lord on Keys and Ian Paice on drums (both from Deep Purple). The album Live from the Heart of the City has a killer version of "Mistreated".... killing guitars on that, too; a heaveir, bluesier thing altogether than the "hair" period.

Boston - Third Stage Slayer - Reign In Blood Stryper - To Hell With The Devil Yngwie Malmsteem - Trilogy Eric Johnson - Tones 1987 Whitesnake - Whitesnake Def Leppard - Hysteria Jethro Tull - Crest of a Knave Rush - Hold Your Fire Y&T - Contagious Anthrax - Among The Living Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction Triumph - Surveillance Dokken - Back For The Attack

Growing up in the 80's I'd have to say Def Leppard was one of my favorite hair glam metal bands. I like them mostly for the guitar playing and harmonies. There was a band call Winger, that I thought the musicianship was really good. Kip Winger was the lead singer and Reb Beach was the lead guitar player. When I heard the song 'Seventeen" I was like holy crap that guy can play guitar. The problem with WInger was they came out when hair bands were on life support. If they had came out a few years earlier they would have gotten more exposure and been more popular. Side note: When Metallica release the official video for "Nothing Else Matters", the picture on the dart board is Kip Winger. This started a feud between the bands. I thought it was in poor taste for Metallica to do that. If you are looking for suggestions for this genre check out Winger. Nick will love the guitars.

Hermoso tema!!!!! Cuanto hacía que no lo escuchaba, Gracias, muchísimas gracias por traernos éstos recuerdos!!!!

Hi Guys. So glad that you enjoyed it. So much music like this for you to discover yet.

I remember when this video was on heavy rotation on MTV. As far as hair band hits this has to be near the top. The vocals standout to me on this track. Thanks for covering this and bringing back the 80's for me.

If you check out some of their 1989 album Slip Of The Tongue, Steve Vai was the only guitarist, due to Vivian Campbell having left, and other guitarist Adrian Vanderberg being in recovery from surgery. Vai's playing on that album was very identifiable, especially if you are familiar with the way he orchestrated his guitar parts on the 2 David Lee Roth albums. So I saw Whitesnake in order to see Vai, and he did some crazy things live. Later, David Coverdale (who a lot of people thought sounded something like Robert Plant ) got together with Jimmy Page for an album.

The original version in 82 is way more soulful! Whitesnake began in 78 as a kick ass blues rock band until Coverdale jumped on the Hair band bandwagon in 87. His best song is " Northwinds" from his 77 solo album after he left Deep Purple.

Random factoid… David Coverdale was born in the English seaside town of Saltburn on sea where I am going tomorrow to visit my Mam in her care home 😉🇬🇧 No blue plaque as far as I know 🤔

HUGE hit at the time - it was everywhere. I was never much of a fan of Whitesnake per se, but still very solid and fun song. I loved heavy metal in the early to mid 80's before I started discovering psych and prog and classic rock. The only band from those days I still listen to very regularly is RUSH. They were a unique band, in that the heavy metal fans LOVED them, but everyone kind of knew they were on a whole other plane of existence. We listened to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and Van Halen and Kiss and Ozzy and Dio and Black Sabbath, etc. Hair metal was a fun more commercial version of all of it - nothing to take super seriously, but it was nice to have some more commercial metal on the airwaves.

Loved it Lex - "Noodle Salad"

El mejor de todos ...de acá a la China....David !!!!!

I wouldn't lump Whitesnake into the whole hair metal scene if they were classed as HM then they were the bottom of the spectrum. Whitesnake focussed on musicianship and just good songs! Listen to their other songs, my suggestion is Slow and Easy. Also, with you venturing into hair metal then you will discover A LOT of fantastic guitar players and players that knew how to make them sing!

Check out some videos of the drummer Tommy Aldridge rocking out to Crying in the Rain, one of the tracks from the Whitesnake 1987 album; awesome.

Yeah you should do more from them. Remember this is only one of their songs. They have some heavy stuff as well

I never purchased a Whitesnake album so I’m not really knowledgeable or qualified to judge. But I do remember this track getting air time. I don’t think it was just hairspray holding them up - the instrumentation and vocals hold up as decent talent and fun enough for some ... but just not my favorite. There were so many genres available and I’m open to most. So, great job giving variety to your channel and it’s fun reading the comments and learning artists and backgrounds. Thanks to subscribers for knowing everything. And RIP Tawny (I didn’t know). Thanks, Nex! ✨🤪

I love that you are doing more popular songs. Hair bands are my guilty pleasure. I don't like them all, but there a few that I really like. You might want to check out Steelheart's "I'll Never Let You Go"

You should do a marathon of 80s power ballads

Speaking of Journey, you should check out their first 3 albums before Steve Perry joined the band. I'd start out with either "Of a Lifetime" or the instrumentals "Topaz" or "Kohoutek" off their 1975 debut.

David Coverdale later collaborated with Jimmy Page, as Coverdale and Page (1993), a Led Zeppelin like project where Coverdale sounds much like Robert Plant. They did one album which I think you will enjoy.

John Sykes was in the band at this point, after his short time with Thin Lizzy.

Check out White Lion "Wait". It has one of my favorite guitar solos from the 80's (a tapping technique masterpiece). Vito Bratta is a highly underrated guitarist..

Ame a todas esas bandas que nombraste Nick!

Your reaction was the same as mine. I could tell you really like it

There's a lot of great "hair metal" that got dismissed because of the genre stereotypes. With David Coverdale , from Deep Purple, on vocals you can't go wrong.

Hi NicknLex, as a life long Rush fan I’m loving your reactions 🙏 As others are mentioning, it’s worth becoming familiar with the history of Whitesnake. The original, and in my opinion better version of this song, comes from the 1982 album Saints & Sinners which interestingly is in the thumbnail for your video. David Coverdale was the lead singer for Deep Purple and formed Whitesnake after DP split up. The early Whitesnake albums have Deep Purple members Ian Paice on drums and Jon Lord on keyboards (e.g. Child In Time) along with two fantastic rock/blues guitarists Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody and bassist Neil Murray. This, to a lot of Whitesnake fans, was the classic lineup that was captured so well on one of the best live rock albums of all time “Live…In The Heart Of The City”. It would be brilliant to see you react to Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues from this album, or the studio recording on Lovehunter. Failing that, your reaction to Marathon, Mission or Animate by Rush would be fantastic! 🤞😃 Hope this has been of interest in providing a bit more background, cheers from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

I went through a phase where (mid-late 80's) this was a listenable option. It doesn't do much for me now. I mean it's OK, part of the soundtrack of my life. David Coverdale (the singer) was with Deep Purple for a while. There are a couple by this band I like better. Very radio friendly. Iconic video for this with the model Tawny Kitaen draped across the hood of car. She died recently, in her 50's.

Power ballads. Whitesnake are a hard rock band formed in London in 1978. The group was originally put together as the backing band for singer David Coverdale, who had recently left Deep Purple. Though the band quickly developed into their own entity, Coverdale is the only constant member throughout their history. Whitesnake enjoyed much success in the UK, Europe and Japan through their early years.

David Coverdale. The identikit of an English rock star. Great live too.

*They have an interesting history . . .* They started with David Coverdale and "Jon Lord", the Keyboardist for Deep Purple, who left before this album. But they started off as a Hard Rock Blues band in 1978. Its an era that I need to look more into very soon, as I've always known about them, but didn't get into for whatever reason. The Album before this one was "Slide it In", which featured the last guitarist for Thin Lizzy; "John Sykes" and would be my 1st time hearing him. He does a tremendous job on this album, and really makes his Les Paul sound like a monster. Sykes also played on the album with "Here I go Again" which was just called "Whitesnake" as it was their New Era of the band, that was trying to market themselves to the more Glamm Rock/Metal audience (btw - you have the wrong cover guys, which is "Saints and Sinners" from 1982 :p. The "Whitesnake" album cover was created by "Hugh Syme" of Rush fame. Edit: Ah I see that this was a "remake" of an older track off S&S ;). Sykes played all the tracks, but he was fired from the band, and Adrian Vandenburg (of the Swedish Hard Rock/Metal band "Vandenburg") and Vivian Campbell (of the 1st 3 "Dio" albums, and later joined Def Leppard) became the guitarists that were featured in the various videos and on the Tour. The track that is my fave on this album is "In the Still of the Night", as far as I'm concerned its a "Metal" track, interesting Riffs and tempo-changes. No signs of Glamm for me, only when you watch the video :p. From "Slide it In", I HUGELY recommend: "Love Ain't No Stranger", gorgeous track! Vic Provost is right about Syke's own band and debut album, "Blue Murder". Its Hard Rock/Heavy Metal with progressive tinges, but NOT "Hair Metal/Glamm Metal" (I don't think the word "Metal" enters into that genre :p). The writing is incredible, the musicianship TREMENDOUS! With Carmine Appice on Drums (from "Vanilla Fudge" and Jeff Beck's early albums), an incredible Fretless Bassist Tony Franklin, and Sykes playing Guitar and on Vocals. His guitar playing is FEROCIOUS! The Riffs, the soloing, and his "Finger Bending/Tremolo" is outrageous, I thought he was using a tremolo bar! Especially when he "bends" his pinch harmonics, I was floored to see him do that live on video! He has a great voice as well. The album was Produced by "Bob Rock" (who would later produce Metallica's "Black" album) so the album sound is as perfect as could be. The 1st single "Valley of the Kings" is very proggy, and has that Arabic/Egyptian vibe. But the harder edged songs really take the cake, especially this one LIVE: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKSjt6tqn8Wuj7A.html I wish I still had my video of this episode, it was in stereo, and lost it with TONS of other shows and bands (stay for all the "false endings"). Just ignore Tony's pants and haircut :p (I've heard that he was a Bass teacher and a SUPER nice guy :). His 2nd album sadly was not on par with this album, and MANY years later "Mike Portnoy" tried to start a Metal band with him, but apparently Sykes didn't have _discipline_ to sit, write and produce an album like Mike :/. *Okay, sorry, I'm going to be a drag now (people will now start pelting me with rocks and garbage).* I have to admit . . . I was (especially back then) and still am NOT a fan of so called "Hair Metal" or Glamm bands (except for the inventors; "The Sweet"), but many bands were called that who were really just "Metal" or Heavy Rock bands, like; Dokken, Y&T, Badlands, Tora Tora, The Scorpions and a few others. But Dokken and Y&T let themselves be a bit influenced by their labels to sound more "Radio Friendly" which was a shame. The LAST Scorpions album I liked, was my 1st time hearing them; "Animal Magnetism" (and a few tracks on "Blackout"), but I went backwards in their catalogue for the "Uli Jon Roth" era. Def Leppard's 1st 3 albums are classic! Whitesnake was on another level of Glamm though, but the other bands that were HUGE were too damn cheesy for me and my friends . . . We HATED that stuff :P. I'm sorry, I was into soo many Thrash bands, the bands that were progressing, and Heavy Metal bands (and those bands that were pre-cursors to Prog Metal). I still can't get into the _other_ bands in this genre, it was everything that was the antithesis of "Metal" for me (sorry folks). To me it was repellant as most (not all) 1980's Pop/Top 40 muzak :P. Nick! Sorry haha! . . . I don't want to base my Metal on the tastes of my Grand Mother :D Metal was meant to piss-off people and scare them to death :p It weeded-out the weak.

Their albums in the 80's had tracks that contained commercial singles that they released to get into the singles charts, as well as what we called album tracks to satisfy the more hardcore metal fans. Many rock groups began releasing singles from their albums. Led Zeppelin backed away from this. David Coverdale joined Deep Purple after Ian Gillan left and their 1st album as Deep Purple; mark 3 with "Burn" basically hit the stratosphere. An incredible album. Later still, Coverdale did an album with Jimmy Page called simply - "Coverdale/Page" and is a corker of an album. Whitesnake are still going strong having released a new studio album recently last year.... This track ? Is there a video ? .... Ohhhh yesss there is a video ! ! ! Lol - They made a few, very famous videos because of it's content...inc' his girlfriend at the time. Nuff said. Lol Great reaction....Now go watch the video. Lol X

Hey yall, been wanting to tell you that Tool did a cover and put it on an album. And that song is Led Zeppelin 'song NO QUARTER ! So react to it!

I have a perfect song for you two. I'm sure you both will go nuts with it. It's a real hidden gem, one of the best love song anthems of heavy rock / prog which nobody unfortunately knows. The song is "Every Time You Smile" but Jack Foster III and is in his first solo album "Evolution of Jazz Raptor" (2003). It's a great album, but this song is a killer! Please, make a review of it, you won't be disappointed or you will get your money back!

Great White was the only band from this era that I ever owned a CD of. The song Rock Me is what hooked me to their wagon. It's a song you should hear - the album version! Peace!✌🤘

Rock Me and House of Broken Love!!!

This is a Whitesnake cover of a Whitesnake song . I prefer the older version when they were a heavy rock band . But strangely I love Still of the night from this " Hair Metal " album . I think there were 2 remake songs on this album ( crying in the rain was the other) both of which I just can't listen to compared to the older version .. But I really like all the other songs on " whitesnake" . Not sure how that works ? Peace and love 👍🏻☮❤

Yes It was a party back in the day. Until Nirvana came along and ruined everything. Grrrr. So glad you love it so much. I'm looking forward to reminiscing through you guys.

I don't think they single-handedly brought on the demise of the genre. It had outlived itself, I guess.

@@murdockreviews I'm with you, by the time Nirvana came along this type of music (which I liked), had been charting for around 10 years, which is about the time most styles of music start to fade as others come in.

You should give a listen to Wishbone Ash, they combined rock,jazz,and folk/classical overtones. Noted for their twin lead guitarists and harmonies, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, Dream Theater, Overkill and Opeth are but a few bands who credit Wishbone Ash as influential to them. You will kick yourselves if you don't give them a listen.

Yes, or the album before that, "Pilgrimage", which is their 'proggiest', though they never were real prog. Their best actually is the live album "Live Dates".

You got to listen to Still Of The Night by Whitesnake, amazing.

Oh the music snobs have been triggered by this one. Keep it up.

Maybe check out "Hughes and Thrall," Ultimate 80s Heavy hair rock , only made one album but wow , class musicianship ,for you both i would recommend the song "Hold out your life" .

Hey, check out Cryin' In The Rain from the same album.

Cheesy but FUN! Try it on the road.

Everything they have said is correct. They just need to watch the video clip of the song and they will understand it better.

You made mention of songs to listen together there Nick, hold hands and listen to Rainbow Eyes, (Dio vocals will astound you that its him) ; try Ariel from Strager in us All

Played this album for my platoon in Iraq

"Come Dancing" with Jeff Beck.

If you guys want to explore 80s hair metal definitely got to check out Dokken. I don’t know if I would consider them glam metal because they flat out rock. George Lynch is probably the greatest guitarist to come out of the 80s. I would recommend Heaven Sent or When Heaven Comes Down or Into The Fire. Love you guys

Just try "Still of the night" - fantastic song from Whitesnake :-)

They would call it Power Blues, lol. Why surprise at Coverdales' vocal talents? he has a pedigree.

When you want perfect catchy and never get older Rock Music, you must check out the Debutalbum of BOSTON. An Album with 8 Tracks = 8 Masterpieces. This Album from 1976 is unique and outstanding. IMO Hair Metal does not describe the type of music, but in that time there were very many bands that performed with the poodle hairstyles. Hair Metal was a fashion, in which later all bands were put in, which had these hairstyles.

Jemand hat dich erhört und ihnen die Boston Cd geschenkt, siehe letztes unboxing. Boston hat mich vom ersten Hören an weggehauen, More than a feeling ist ein Song, den ich 1000 mal hören kann ... davon gibt es nicht soo viele .. siehe Whitesnake :-)

Check out the White snake song Judgement Day with Steve Vai playing on it. They have great party rock songs! Thank you!

You want to see a hair rock video - check out Final Countdown by Europe

I love your channel. It's such fun. Try another top British band, Thunder. They're brilliant.

I love you guys, you listen to what you want to listen to; I don't care for most of it but have a real soft spot for E'Nuff Z'Nuff, which is what you might get if you blended Cheap Trick with Ratt.

I think that you will enjoy the unplugged cover that David Coverdale and Adrian Vandenberg did... Check it out!

The guitarists who played for Whitesnake were definitely accomplished guitarists in their own right. Adrian Vandenburg and John Sykes were quite a tandem (they didn't play together) and Steve Vai played for them briefly as well.

Google where David Coverdale came up with the name of the band……lol

El disco 1987 es un lujo !!!!

Try ‘ Ain’t no love in the heart of the city.

Nice..

John Sykes on guitar!

Go back to the original Whitesnake, 1978 to 1982 the best period before Coverdale went searching for the Dollars.

This was good by I prefer their song Is This Love 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
