Filmed in London, at a small venue, Whitesnake performs some of their hit songs. Good footage, and good sound makes this DVD worth watching.

Good To Be Bad

I have to confess I hesitated to buy this album; I've always been a Whitesnake fan but I thought I would discover a mediocre release like many other heavy metal bands from the 80s that have tried to come back after 20 years. I was so wrong and I'm very glad I took the leap of faith and bought it. Nothing short of extraordinary. David Coverdale's voice - just like wine - gets better with age; and Coverdale masterfully assembled an outstanding set of musicians.

What you won't find in this album: a rock anthem like Here I Go Again and a power ballad like Is This Love. But if your soul fills with energy when you listen to Still of The Night, that's what you'll feel with every song in this album. Thank you David for giving me such pleasure!

The Definitive Collection
$13.98
Lots of remastered tracks and several good timejams are on this cd. Many good hard rocking songs I had never heard before. A coupa cheezy songs makes this one a 4.

Slide It In
$11.98
This is really good, solid British blues rock! This album and its predecessors brought a lot of good musicians to the table, some well known and others relatively unknown. Coverdale really was a unique and talented songwriter and singer and oh, how I love what Jon Lord brings to any band he is a part of! Although this album is a little more polished than their earlier work, you will still find slide guitar and fun, sexy lyrics instead of the sappy 80's anthems and ballads that Coverdale started dredging out later - what a tragic waste of talent in my opinion!

It would be nice if we could rewrite history just a little so that this would really be the last Whitesnake album. As a young teenager who loved this album and therefore, ran out and bought all of their older albums and learned an entirely new outlook on music, it was heartbreaking to see what they later became. I could no longer even tell anyone they were my favorite band because no one else around me knew about their TRUE music and I didn't want to be misunderstood! Eventually it actually became a stigma to be known as a Whitesnake fan (after all the people who loved the 80's "hair bands" finally turned against them - I never liked that whole scene to begin with!). Thus, what was once a great band never had a chance to be recognized for their past accomplishments, which were truly noteworthy.

If you want to find out what Whitesnake was REALLY all about, listen to Slide It In, Love Hunter, Come An' Get It, etc. They are well worth a listen!
