│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Whitesnake are an English hard rock band, ║ │
│║ founded in 1977 by David Coverdale (formerly of ║ │
│║ Deep Purple). The band's early material has been ║ │
│║ compared by critics to Deep Purple but by the ║ │
│║ mid eighties Whitesnake had moved away from the ║ │
│║ early blues-rock influenced heavy metal to a ║ │
│║ more commercial hard rock style. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ They were recently named the 85th greatest hard ║ │
│║ rock band of all time by VH1. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ History ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Formation (1977) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ David Coverdale founded Whitesnake in 1977. The ║ │
│║ core line-up had been working as his backing ║ │
│║ band The White Snake Band on the White Snake ║ │
│║ album tour and they retained the title before ║ │
│║ officially being known as Whitesnake. They ║ │
│║ toured with Coverdale as his support band and ║ │
│║ for both of the solo albums he released, White ║ │
│║ Snake and Northwinds, between exiting Deep ║ │
│║ Purple and founding Whitesnake. During the ║ │
│║ band's early years their music was primarily ║ │
│║ blues rock (although Coverdale described ║ │
│║ Whitesnake's early style as "progressive R&B") . ║ │
│║ At this time, the band was made up of David ║ │
│║ Coverdale, Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, Neil ║ │
│║ Murray and drummer David "Duck" Dowle with ║ │
│║ keyboardist Brian Johnston. Johnston would soon ║ │
│║ be replaced by Procol Harum organ player and ║ │
│║ keyboardist Pete Solley. Because of Solley's ║ │
│║ producing commitments he was replaced by the ║ │
│║ former Deep Purple keyboard player Jon Lord, ║ │
│║ during sessions for the first LP. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Snakebite, Trouble, Lovehunter and Ready an' ║ │
│║ Willing (1978?1980) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Whitesnake recorded the EP Snakebite which was ║ │
│║ released in 1978 and included a cover of a Bobby ║ │
│║ "Blue" Bland song "Ain't No Love in the Heart of ║ │
│║ the City," which became the first hit from the ║ │
│║ band. The EP had some success in the UK and ║ │
│║ subsequent reissues of this EP included four ║ │
│║ bonus tracks from Coverdale's second solo album ║ │
│║ Northwinds produced by Roger Glover. A blues ║ │
│║ rock/R&B debut album Trouble, was released in ║ │
│║ the autumn of 1978 and peaked at #50 in the UK ║ │
│║ album charts. Whitesnake toured Europe to ║ │
│║ promote the album and their first live album ║ │
│║ Live at Hammersmith was recorded on this tour ║ │
│║ and released in Japan in 1979. Whitesnake ║ │
│║ released Lovehunter in 1979, which courted ║ │
│║ controversy due to its risqu? album cover by ║ │
│║ artist Chris Achilleos, which featured an ║ │
│║ illustration of a naked woman straddling a ║ │
│║ coiled snake. The album made the UK Top 30 and ║ │
│║ contained the minor hit Long Way From Home which ║ │
│║ reached #55 in the single charts. Tracks from ║ │
│║ the EP Snakebite were included in a reissue of ║ │
│║ the album Trouble in 2006. Shortly after that ║ │
│║ Ian Paice replaced David Dowle giving Whitesnake ║ │
│║ three ex-Deep Purple members. The new line-up ║ │
│║ recorded the 1980 release Ready an' Willing ║ │
│║ which became a breakthrough hit for the band ║ │
│║ reaching the UK Top 10 and achieved a ranking in ║ │
│║ the US Billboard 100. The single Fool For Your ║ │
│║ Loving, which the band originally wrote for B.B. ║ │
│║ King, made #13 in the UK single charts and #53 ║ │
│║ in the US, and the title track also hit #43 in ║ │
│║ the UK charts. The Ready an' Willing tour ║ │
│║ included a headline appearance at the 1980 ║ │
│║ Reading Festival, highlights of which were ║ │
│║ broadcast by BBC Radio One in UK. The band ║ │
│║ released Live...In The Heart Of The City, which ║ │
│║ contained recordings made in 1978 and 1980 and ║ │
│║ achieved a #5 ranking in the UK album charts. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Come an' Get It and Saints & Sinners (1981?1983) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 1981 the band recorded the album Come an' Get ║ │
│║ It which climbed to #2 in the UK album charts ║ │
│║ and produced the Top 20 hit "Don't Break My ║ │
│║ Heart Again" and the Top 40 hit "Would I Lie To ║ │
│║ You". The album flopped in the US. During 1982 ║ │
│║ Coverdale took time off to look after his sick ║ │
│║ daughter and decided to put Whitesnake on hold. ║ │
│║ When David Coverdale returned to music he ║ │
│║ reformed the band and after the recording of the ║ │
│║ album Saints & Sinners replaced Bernie Marsden, ║ │
│║ Ian Paice and bass player Neil Murray with Mel ║ │
│║ Galley from Trapeze, bassist Colin Hodgkinson ║ │
│║ and Cozy Powell became the new drummer. "Saints ║ │
│║ An' Sinners" was another Top 10 UK album and ║ │
│║ contained the hit "Here I Go Again". The new ║ │
│║ lineup toured in 1982?83, headlined the Monsters ║ │
│║ of Rock Festival at Castle Donnington UK in ║ │
│║ August 1983 and the single "Guilty Of Love" ║ │
│║ reached #31 in the UK singles chart. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Slide It In and shift from Blues rock to Hard ║ │
│║ rock music (1983?1986) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After another personnel change replacing Moody ║ │
│║ with John Sykes and bringing back Neil Murray in ║ │
│║ place of Hodgkinson, they secured a major record ║ │
│║ deal with the Geffen label. A remixed version of ║ │
│║ Slide It In using guitar and bass by Sykes and ║ │
│║ Murray was released in US in April 1984. Despite ║ │
│║ Coverdale's misgivings regarding the lack of ║ │
│║ edge in these new tracks, Slide It In went ║ │
│║ double platinum in the US on the back of 1987. ║ │
│║ The Slide It In album led to the album-oriented ║ │
│║ rock hits in the US: Slow an' Easy, "Love Ain't ║ │
│║ No Stranger" as well as the album's title track. ║ │
│║ In Europe the band had success with other songs, ║ │
│║ Guilty of Love and Give Me More Time. While ║ │
│║ touring in spring 1984 Mel Galley suffered a ║ │
│║ broken arm in an accident, leaving John Sykes as ║ │
│║ the sole guitarist for the remaining dates. A ║ │
│║ few weeks later, Jon Lord left to reform Deep ║ │
│║ Purple MkII and keyboard player Richard Bailey ║ │
│║ was brought in. The tour ended with a ║ │
│║ performance in front of a crowd of over 100,000 ║ │
│║ people, at the Rock in Rio festival held in Rio ║ │
│║ de Janeiro Brazil. Galley remained a member -- ║ │
│║ "he's still getting paid," said Coverdale in an ║ │
│║ interview -- until he rashly discussed plans to ║ │
│║ reform Trapeze in an interview, and Coverdale ║ │
│║ then fired him. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The self-titled album and success in the US ║ │
│║ (1987?1988) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Cozy Powell left to join Emerson, Lake & Powell. ║ │
│║ Drummer Aynsley Dunbar, formerly of Journey, and ║ │
│║ keyboardist Don Airey, from the Ozzy Osbourne ║ │
│║ band and Rainbow, were brought in for the ║ │
│║ recording of the Whitesnake album in 1987. The ║ │
│║ album was entitled 1987 in Europe and Serpens ║ │
│║ Albus in Japan and marked the band's first ║ │
│║ mainstream success in the US and, with the ║ │
│║ guidance of A&R guru John Kalodner, sold over ║ │
│║ eight million copies in the US. The success of ║ │
│║ Whitesnake also pushed sales of Slide It In from ║ │
│║ its RIAA certified gold status to platinum ║ │
│║ status. The album continued to sell throughout ║ │
│║ 1987 and 1988 and peaked at #2 in the US album ║ │
│║ charts. The album's biggest hits were the power ║ │
│║ ballad #2 "Is This Love" and the #1 hit single ║ │
│║ Here I Go Again, a re-recording of the song ║ │
│║ originally on Saints & Sinners released in 1982. ║ │
│║ Other hit singles from the album were "Still of ║ │
│║ the Night" (#79) and "Give Me All Your Love" ║ │
│║ (#48 in 1988). The album's exposure was boosted ║ │
│║ by heavy airplay of its videos on MTV, which ║ │
│║ featured actress Tawny Kitaen, whom Coverdale ║ │
│║ later married. None of the band members who ║ │
│║ played on the album appeared in these videos ║ │
│║ with the exception of Adrian Vandenberg, who had ║ │
│║ been hired to complete the album after the ║ │
│║ others had been fired by Coverdale. Vandenberg's ║ │
│║ only work on the album was the solo on Here I Go ║ │
│║ Again though he became a full time member of the ║ │
│║ band shortly afterwards. The resulting music ║ │
│║ videos from Whitesnake also featured new band ║ │
│║ members Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge, and Vivian ║ │
│║ Campbell. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Slip of the Tongue and more success (1988?1990) ║ │
│║ Adrian Vandenberg and David Coverdale, ║ │
│║ Donnington, 1990. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Vivian Campbell left Whitesnake in late 1988 and ║ │
│║ band's line-up changed yet again for the 1989 ║ │
│║ album Slip of the Tongue. While preparing for ║ │
│║ the recording of the album, guitarist Adrian ║ │
│║ Vandenberg reportedly suffered a debilitating ║ │
│║ hand injury and Steve Vai was called in to ║ │
│║ record all the guitar parts. Slip of the Tongue ║ │
│║ sold three million copies and hit #10 in US and ║ │
│║ UK album charts. Successful singles included a ║ │
│║ re-working of "Fool For Your Loving" (#37 US and ║ │
│║ #43 UK), the melodic The Deeper The Love (#28 US ║ │
│║ and #35 UK) and Now You're Gone (#96 US and #31 ║ │
│║ UK). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Coverdale and Page (1991?1993) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After a period of inactivity Whitesnake ║ │
│║ officially went on hiatus in 1991. Coverdale ║ │
│║ recorded the album Coverdale-Page, with Led ║ │
│║ Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page in 1992, which was ║ │
│║ released by EMI in UK and Geffen in USA during ║ │
│║ March 1993 and immediately became a platinum ║ │
│║ seller. The Coverdale-Page tour which followed ║ │
│║ failed to attract ticket sales outside of Japan ║ │
│║ and was canceled. Immediately Robert Plant's ║ │
│║ management announced a solo USA tour utilizing ║ │
│║ the existing Coverdale and Page dates already ║ │
│║ booked but this plan was scrapped. Page ║ │
│║ eventually toured as Page and Plant with Robert ║ │
│║ Plant and Coverdale revived Whitesnake. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Greatest Hits tour (1994) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A new line-up of the band was assembled and ║ │
│║ Whitesnake's Greatest Hits was released by ║ │
│║ Geffen in 1994. They embarked on a short tour in ║ │
│║ Europe, with former Ratt guitarist Warren ║ │
│║ DeMartini playing lead guitar, drummer Denny ║ │
│║ Carmassi, bassist Rudy Sarzo guitarist Adrian ║ │
│║ Vandenberg and keyboard player Paul Mirkovich ║ │
│║ before their recording contract with Geffen ║ │
│║ expired. Following this Whitesnake was in hiatus ║ │
│║ for three years. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Starkers in Tokyo and Restless Heart (1997?1998) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 1997, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ║ │
│║ Whitesnake's popular self-titled album, ║ │
│║ Coverdale and Vandenberg released an unplugged ║ │
│║ show recorded in Japan entitled Starkers in ║ │
│║ Tokyo. This reunion inspired them to then work ║ │
│║ together on a new Whitesnake album Restless ║ │
│║ Heart. This was originally to be a solo album ║ │
│║ for Coverdale but the record company pressures ║ │
│║ released it under the Whitesnake name. However, ║ │
│║ despite a release in both Japan and Europe it ║ │
│║ was never available officially in the US. The ║ │
│║ album marked a return to the band's earlier R&B ║ │
│║ music. The album reached the UK Top 40 album ║ │
│║ chart and produced the blues ballad Too Many ║ │
│║ Tears which reached #46 UK singles chart. The ║ │
│║ album featured Coverdale, Carmassi, Vandenberg, ║ │
│║ Pink Floyd touring bassist Guy Pratt with ║ │
│║ keyboardist Brett Tuggle who had played with ║ │
│║ Coverdale and Page. The touring lineup featured ║ │
│║ Coverdale, Vandenberg, Carmassi, Mr Mister ║ │
│║ guitarist Steve Farris, keyboardist Derek ║ │
│║ Hilland and The Firm bassist Tony Franklin. ║ │
│║ Coverdale folded the band at the end of the ║ │
│║ tour. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ 25th anniversary reunion (2002?2005) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In December 2002 Coverdale reformed Whitesnake ║ │
│║ for Whitesnake's 25 year anniversary. Joining ║ │
│║ Coverdale for the 2003 tour were, guitarists ║ │
│║ Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, bass player Marco ║ │
│║ Mendoza, drummer Tommy Aldridge and keyboard ║ │
│║ player Timothy Drury. During 2003 they headlined ║ │
│║ the Rock Never Stops Tour with other popular ║ │
│║ rock bands. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Live... In The Still of the Night, Live: In The ║ │
│║ Shadow of the Blues and new studio tracks ║ │
│║ (2005?2007) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The anniversary tour line up remained stable ║ │
│║ until early 2005, when Mendoza left to pursue ║ │
│║ the Soul SirkUS project and was replaced by ║ │
│║ Uriah Duffy. In February 2006, Whitesnake ║ │
│║ released a live DVD titled, Live... In The Still ║ │
│║ of the Night and announced a Spring and Summer ║ │
│║ tour of Japan and Europe. In June 2006 it was ║ │
│║ announced Coverdale had signed Whitesnake to a ║ │
│║ new record deal with Steamhammer/SPV Records who ║ │
│║ released a double live album entitled, Live: In ║ │
│║ The Shadow Of The Blues during November 2006 in ║ │
│║ UK, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The album ║ │
│║ had tracks recorded since 2003, and also ║ │
│║ included four new studio tracks: Ready to Rock, ║ │
│║ If You Want Me, All I Want Is You and Dog. These ║ │
│║ songs have been described by Coverdale as "three ║ │
│║ balls-to-the-walls rockers and a ballad". In ║ │
│║ June 2007 the band released a dual CD/DVD titled ║ │
│║ 1987 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition to ║ │
│║ mark the 20th anniversary of the mega-selling ║ │
│║ album 1987. This was the re-mastered album along ║ │
│║ with a host of bonus material of four live ║ │
│║ tracks from the Shadow Of The Blues Live set. It ║ │
│║ also includes the four promo videos for the ║ │
│║ album on the DVD. In December 2007 the band ║ │
│║ drummer Chris Frazier joined the band, replacing ║ │
│║ Tommy Aldridge. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Good to Be Bad and back on the road (2008? ║ │
│║ present) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In March 2008 Whitesnake played at the Rock2Wgtn ║ │
│║ two day festival, which also featured Ozzy ║ │
│║ Osbourne, Kiss, Poison, Alice Cooper and Lordi, ║ │
│║ with special effects by the Academy Award ║ │
│║ winning WETA Workshop. In April 2008 the band ║ │
│║ released a studio album called Good to Be Bad, ║ │
│║ which reached #5 in the UK album chart. During ║ │
│║ the summer of 2008 Whitesnake headlined a UK ║ │
│║ tour along with Def Leppard, with Black Stone ║ │
│║ Cherry opening the UK arena shows in June and ║ │
│║ Thunder opening the July shows. ║ │
