#RoGuaNavy Every teenage boy? No! Everyone who is attracted to women. She's the ONLY woman I had on my wall as another woman myself. I had such a massive crush on her, as a teenage girl and as an adult woman.
I miss those years 20 in 1982 30 1992 rough time then but that decade beat yes I partied ass off FSU Big Rapids MI yes got lots of cuties back then lol
I was just going to say the same 2 songs. Man, the memories of having teenage girl hormones when this stuff came out! lol Man, the memories of having the body of a teenage girl instead of an old lady. lol
The actual orchestral part was programmed and played by session keyboardist Don Airey. Don has been the keyboard player in Deep Purple since 2002. Don did two albums with Whitesnake. The violin bow is faked even live. The orchestral part is done by a keyboard player or it's on a backing track.
In the mid late 80's, Whitesnake was on top of world!!! And I'll say it again and again, my childhood was in the 70's and my teen years were in the 80's. I couldn't have been born in the BEST TIME!!!!!
We lived in the greatest era for Rock Music, beautiful ladies, and recreational mood enhancing “supplements”. We also lived PRE AIDS/HIV and were able to live dangerously with the ladies. 😂 I wouldn’t trade 1980 - 1985 for ANYTHING, with 1983 being extra special!
I always figured the spray was her perfume mixed with the smoke from that cigarette she had earlier in the video. A lot of women spritz it in the air and walk through the spray so it isn't overpowering.
There's no comparison between this song and how women are sung about in rap songs. This is hot. A sexy man singing about his gorgeous woman. And that breakdown with the guitar played with a bow is fire. Definitely playlist.
Nothing can ever be enough said about David Coverdale the singer's voice whitesnake's been out since the seventies every lineup has been incredible always has top tier musicians with him
Take me down slow and easy, make love to me slow and easy....Slow and Easy. Slide it, right to the Top, Slide it in, ain't never gonna stop....Slide it In. A couple other Whitesnake jams to check out.
Tawny Kitaen appeared in several 80's rock videos. Before Whitesnake she dated a guitarist from an LA band RATT. She appeared in their videos & on a couple of their album covers. She dated OJ Simpson once or twice also
She also dated a pitcher from the California Angel's, by the name of Chuck Finley. Yes, you can invert the 1st syllables of the 1st & last names & come up with something... interesting. Just picture Kitaen: "Chuck me harder, please!"
And then later in life she beat the hell out of her husband, professional baseball player Chuck Finley, so bad that he had to miss a start, she was arrested on abuse charges and he had to get a restraining order against her. Still, nothing will ever take away the memories of watching her in these videos as a teenager.
Yes, that's his girl. same woman--Tawny Kitaen (RIP). And yes, the 80's "hair bands" were all about exemplifying sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. But Whitesnake was more than just a hair band. their music effortlessly blends powerful rock anthems with soulful ballads, showcasing their unparalleled ability to evoke deep emotions and electrify audiences. Their timeless sound and charismatic performances continue to captivate fans, like myself, across generations, solidifying their place in rock history.
Okay the 80s weren't just for the guys. These bands were primarily for the ladies for the women to go to the concert so the boys would follow because I damn well know we were licking that fucking screen watching the men in the bands. The 80s were so awesome! 😊
Tawny Kitaen was married to a Pitcher Chuck Finley of California Angels and there was a domestic disturbance and she was charged with domestic violence and he actually missed a start do to the injuries he sustained...a few months later he was warming up for a game against the White Sox and the White Sox DJ played this song over the PA...the DJ was fired that day
He was a Cleveland Indian when they met and when the stelletto episode happened. After having 2 children they divorced but they were working on getting their marriage another try and called it off right before it was to take place and next thing you heard about them was her passing
I watched MLB way back when Dale Murphy was an outfielder with the Braves all the way up until 2008.... sometimes the announcers and dj's could be giant jackasses, to try to rattle him with making light of his DV, blech!
I saw them live in 1990. At one point during the set, both of the guitarists and bassist were using bows, they were playing Beethoven. It was so crazy good, I bet 90%+ of the crowd had no clue, but everyone was going wild.
When you see him do this LIVE…. Omg. The song is about sex like most rock songs. But it’s not verbally aggressive. Rap is about vulgarity. Not one vulgar word in this song. Yes…. This song is a little harder rock than others you’ve heard.
I'm amazed how "offended" he gets by these "tongue in cheek" tame rock songs. I guess he never heard of Sex, Drugs and R&R "Clutching his pearls" because of some PG Rated imagery is laughable compared to blatant Rap songs and videos. It's practically p_rn
@@dawnbailey910 Some years after Eddie Phillips of TheE Creation. There are some videos online for "Making Time" and Painter Man" by them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Phillips_(musician)
I'm going on 60 and our Rock n' Roll music was very sexy and passionate back in 79-85. Whitesnake was one of my favorite songs to dance to as a exotic performer. We had some good times partying and drinking. "Watch Love Aunt No Stranger" or "Slow & Easy"
Still love Whitesnake all these years later. This is one of my fav songs. IMO the musical composition here is pure genius. Thanks for reacting. Keep Whitesnake coming 😊
Still of the Night is my absolute favorite White Snake song. Total eargasm. The rocking out, the build then the release. The violin/guitar playing makes my heart kick into overdrive every time since I was a teen in the 80's
The bow on the guitar is the best part. The breakdown is my fave part. The 80s hair bands were all about sex and rock n roll. Whitesnake was huge at the time. I remember my cousin driving me around and blasting them on tape. Yea, that's his girl. She just dyed her hair.
David Coverdale was married to Tawny Kitaen, who a lot of people remember from "Bachelor Party" with Tom Hanks. David is one of the best vocalist in the biz, with incredible range. He was also in Deep Purple in the middle 70's when Tommy Bolin replaced Richie Blackmore when he and Roger Glover left to form Rainbow. The guitarist on this vide was John Sykes, not Vivian Campbell, who had been fired by Whitesnake partway through the recording of this album.
Tawney Kitaen. She was in about half of the music videos and album covers produced during this period along with several movies. Sadly, she just passed away a couple of years ago. She was married briefly to David Coverdale, and dated O.J. Simpson (among many others) when he was still married.
This band had stand out musicians and terrific compositions, Tawny Kitaen and the video are sexy for sure. By the way she was a terrible drug addict and died young. Tommy Aldridge is one of the best drummers to ever do it. David's vocals are amazing, he was formally with Deep Purple. Mtv and 80s sexy videos are terrific, just dont forget the music drives it all. I was in my 20s during the 80s and yes it was a blast. 🤟
Tawny Kitaen got seen in millions of households thanks to Whitesnake. She was also in Bachelor Party a classic dumb comedy with a very young Tom Hanks. BTW neither of the guitar players in the video (Adrian Vandenberg & Vivian Campbell of Dio fame actually played on this song) the guitar is John Sykes who was in Thin Lizzy.
This is one the best songs of the 80s! Getting to see this live is an experience I'll never forget. Slow and Easy,Slide it In,Fool for your Lovin, Give Me All Your Love. Here I Go Again has been overplayed to the nth degree. We lived the sex,drugs and rock n roll life everyday!
This is the song we'd use to ensure our car steroes and amps were tuned just right. Pushing those 3-way 6X9s to the max. My little Toyota 4X4 had an Alpine head unit, and Qty 6 - 6X9s, 2 - 6in 2ways, 2 - 4in 2ways, a couple tweeters and a 1200W multichannel amp. That thing shook to this song.
Should check out L.A. Guns. We use to call bands like them sleaze rock. It's heavy metal. Sex Action, Rip and Tear, I Wanna Be Your Man. Guitarist is Tracii Guns. Started a little band with a singer named Axl, back in the day. Such an overlooked band these days.
I saw them live in Toronto in the late 80s they opened up for Kiss and I had front row center and it kicked ass. If you want to see incredible violin bow on the guitar Led Zeppelin Dazed and Confused live MSG from 1973. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
This was our jam driving around in the late 80's with the windows down blasting this!!!! Checking out the guys hawling hay and just being crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Coverdale formed Whitesnake in 1978 after Deep Purple split. They were a heavy Blues Based Rock style. David got Bernie Marsden to join the band and they became song writing partners on many of Whitesnake’s biggest hits. From 1978 to 1982’s Saints and Sinners album, Whitesnake stayed in that Blues Rock lane. Fellow Deep Purple bandmates Ian Paice and Jon Lord joined the band also for a few albums. Then David wanted to jump on the United States Hairband bandwagon and started changing personnel with the 1984 album Slide It In. I still prefer the original Whitesnake lineup and sound. In 1987 Whitesnake released their Hairband debut album Whitesnake, with their revamped lineup, and it contained the hit song “Still Of the Night”, and their biggest hit “Here I Go Again '87" written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden. This was previously released on their 1982 album Saints and Sinners. Many of the biggest post ‘87 Whitesnake songs were re-recorded songs from their 1982 and prior albums. "Walking in the Shadow of the Blues" was on their 1979 album Love Hunter and was also written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden. Their 1980 album Ready An’ Willing contained the song, “Fool for Your Loving" another great song co-written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden. Also on the Ready An’ Willing album was a song that David Coverdale wrote pre Whitesnake, “Blindman”. It is an all time favorite of mine. It is something special. Just a beautiful song. I’ll leave the link for it below. “Blindman” ua-cam.com/video/pF_gza3e49w/v-deo.htmlsi=QizGpqHo14zOifVF
Definately on my playlist ever since it first came out, and yes , he is using the bow from a violin to play his guitar during that awesome break . Deep purple did it for one of the best rock song intros on knockin at your back door.
Steve Vai's riff on this song is just epic. That's the only reason I can think that this song is so much diffrent it was the only whitesnakes album he was in. Cheers Helios from Greece.
The redhead is Tawny Kitaen was David Coverdale's wife from 1989-1991. Check out Deep Purple...the band David was in before Whitesnake. I'm sure you've heard the song "Smoke on the Water"
As a teenager in the 80's it was my goal to emulate a hard rock video vixen. I was born a little too late bc I didn't turn 18 until '92 and only had a few short years left to dress like this at the clubs while it was still the style 😂 These videos were just as much for us girls as the men. These were the men I grew up w on my bedroom walls and always ended up dating. What I wouldn't give for these times back 🤘😝🤘
Sophmore year flashback! 1987 was a great year for music! WHITESNAKE, DEF LEPPARD, DAVID LEE ROTH, all released albums around the same time. There are alot of LED ZEPPELIN connections to WHITESNAKE. Jimmy Page played the guitar with a violin bow in concert on Dazed and Confused. Here, it is Adrian Vandenberg. The lead singer for WHITESNAKE, David Coverdale would do an album a few years later with ZEPPELIN'S Jimmy Page called COVERDALE PAGE. The album cover had a highway merge sign on it.
This was on a lot of peoples "fuck" list. A list of songs you put on when you are getting down. The rhythm...its all about the rhythm. Having Led Zeppelin's Kashmir before or after this song = 15 minutes of steady pounding.
Tawny Kataen was the lead singer’s, David Coverdale, wife. Also, Tawny is the girl in most if not all of the Whitesnake videos, she probably just died her hair different colors. The liquid that she was spraying was probably supposed to be perfume.
We lived in the greatest era for Rock Music, beautiful ladies, and recreational mood enhancing “supplements”. We also lived PRE AIDS/HIV and were able to live dangerously with the ladies. 😂 I wouldn’t trade 1980 - 1985 for ANYTHING, with 1983 being extra special!
Tawny Kitaen was also Robbin Crosby from Ratt's girlfriend, and she was married to Chuck Finley a famous pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. She famously attacked him with one of her high heels one time.😮😂
John Sykes was the original guitarist on the album. Adrian Vandenberg did the solo here in the video. And I saw Whitesnake open for Motley Crue in 1987 and Vandenberg did the same thing with the violin bow and his guitar....live. But Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin did it. And I believe Jimi Hendrix also did it before Jimmy Page.
@Black Pegasus, I consider this song as one of the Top 10 songs ever. Maybe even Top 5. That breakdown part with the bow-played guitar part and then how it shifts to that badass crescendo is one of the greatest transitions in music ever.
David Coverdale has been my ultimate man-crush for... more years than I want to admit to. However, the version everyone knows of Here I Go Again (this is a little-known fact) is not the original version of the song. It was originally recorded for the Saints & Sinners album in 1982. The main difference is that there's much heavier blues aspect to Whitesnake pre-1987. So if you want to listen to the original version of the song, it's very different... and probably my favorite version.
As a rocker, yes i can confirm, we are! :) Fun fact, none of the musicians in the video (except the leader singer) were on the album. The album musicians quit the band after the album was made and before the video. So they had find musicians to play for the video. The dark haired guitarist with the pink guitar is now with Def Leppard.
Adrian VanDenburg was on the other guitar ( Vivian Campbell joined Def Leppard). Rudy Sarzo played bass,and Tommy Aldridge played drums in this vid. They DID become the touring band,actually. T
When 'Still of the night' by Whitesnake became a hit in 1987, many critics complained that they had "ripped off Led Zeppelin"... It was reinforced when former Zeppelin singer Robert Plant slammed Whitesnake in interviews, derogatorily calling singer David Coverdale "David Coverversion" ... However, former Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page loved "Still of the night"... and called it the "best song Led Zeppelin never wrote" 😂 In 1993, David Coverdale and Jimmy Page wrote and recorded the album 'Coverdale.Page'... which became a hit record. But they never got to tour extensively because Robert Plant and Jimmy Page started working together as Plant & Page by 1994.
Tawny Kitaen was the nightly dream of just about every teenage boy, at this time. RIP, Tawny.
guilty. The only gal poster I had on my wall.
For sure!!
Same for some of us young lesbians not knowing we were lesbian at the time 😂
Kelly LeBrock too!
#RoGuaNavy
Every teenage boy?
No!
Everyone who is attracted to women.
She's the ONLY woman I had on my wall as another woman myself.
I had such a massive crush on her, as a teenage girl and as an adult woman.
Gen X'r here, digging watching you young guys discover the music we cruised to. Slow and Easy should be your next Whitesnake reaction.
Gen X!!
Slow and Easy is good or even Slide It In
Crying in the rain >
I was thinking the same thing!!
Young Guns, that was a good sound track 😂😂
80s was all about partying and getting laid. It’s all in our music. Our long hair made us do it lol.
@@andy60234 I was a total sucker for any guy with long hair back in those days. It took a while for me to grow out of that phase lol
I miss those years 20 in 1982 30 1992 rough time then but that decade beat yes I partied ass off FSU Big Rapids MI yes got lots of cuties back then lol
@@Dawnofcreation Right!? Me and the guys I would date usually had matching metal hairstyles 😂
Like the 60's weren't like that at all.😆😅🤣
Actually, with each successive decade, America becomes more and more a police state.
Make us do it, not, made. (I was born is 1980, so not so much actually... :D )
The woman is Tawny Kitaen. She was married to the lead singer, David Coverdale. She's also in a few other rock videos around this time.
Also her leg is immortalized on a Ratt album cover with......rats.
R.I.P TAWNY KITAEN !
I was just about to say i think they we're married😂
He said something about that opening scenes effect on 14 or 15 year olds. Still has the same effect on me at 52 it had at 15.😅
I first saw her in bachelor party before music videos.
Give Whitesnake Slide it in and Slow and easy a listen! KEEP ON ROCKIN!
And yes, those songs are about exactly what you assume they are.
I was just going to say the same 2 songs. Man, the memories of having teenage girl hormones when this stuff came out! lol Man, the memories of having the body of a teenage girl instead of an old lady. lol
YES! After Still of the Night, those are my next fave Whitesnake songs!
He thinks they are horny now...lmao
Tawny Kitaen is the beauty in the video. She passed away 3 years ago. She was 60 years old. RIP
Yes. He really does use s violin bow for that guitar part. I was lucky enough to see these guys in Atlanta on this tour. Coverdale’s voice is amazing
Synthesyzers on the album, the violin bow in the video here just was show
@@Snakehead1964 maybe but in concert he used it
@@720kla still for show..
The actual orchestral part was programmed and played by session keyboardist Don Airey. Don has been the keyboard player in Deep Purple since 2002. Don did two albums with Whitesnake. The violin bow is faked even live. The orchestral part is done by a keyboard player or it's on a backing track.
Saw them live in Australia - awesome show!
In the mid late 80's, Whitesnake was on top of world!!!

This doesn’t make your playlist!?!? Jesus, this is one of their most badass songs
@michaellynch9550 this is more of a commercial song. Much better songs from whitesnake. The Slide it In album was way better than this album.
@@danno7583 if you like other songs better that’s OK. I’m just saying this song is definitely playlist worthy.
@michaellynch9550 nah. This song is tame. Easy listening radio play. Gets old after 10 listens. Definitely not playlist.
@@danno7583 that’s OK if it’s not playlist worthy to you. It is to me. That’s the beauty of music. There’s something great for everybody.
Yah this is one my all time top favs from that era. And def my fav by Whitesnake along with Crying in the Rain.
Come on man, the whole theme of the 70’s - 80’s was ‘sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll’.
We lived in the greatest era for Rock Music, beautiful ladies, and recreational mood enhancing “supplements”. We also lived PRE AIDS/HIV and were able to live dangerously with the ladies. 😂 I wouldn’t trade 1980 - 1985 for ANYTHING, with 1983 being extra special!
This is why sex comes first in sex, drugs, and rock n roll
I always figured the spray was her perfume mixed with the smoke from that cigarette she had earlier in the video. A lot of women spritz it in the air and walk through the spray so it isn't overpowering.

In rock women are adored worshipped in rap theyre disrespected
R.I.P. Tawny Kitaen... Heartbreaker of the 80's for sure.
Nothing can ever be enough said about David Coverdale the singer's voice whitesnake's been out since the seventies every lineup has been incredible always has top tier musicians with him
FINALLY! My fave Whitesnake song!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼
I remember wearing out the Whitesnake cassette. Did a lot of Friday cruisin to their music. Guns n Roses, Joan Jett, Kiss, etc. Good times!
Take me down slow and easy, make love to me slow and easy....Slow and Easy.
Slide it, right to the Top, Slide it in, ain't never gonna stop....Slide it In.
A couple other Whitesnake jams to check out.
damn, dude. here i am watching this reaction with my 4 year old, and he's headbanging to it.

She was also on the cover of RATT's Out of the Cellar album
Yes, that's his girl. same woman--Tawny Kitaen (RIP).

Yes, that is John Sykes playing the guitar with a violin bow although he is not in the video. Jimmy Paige of Led Zepplin has also done it.

Still of the Night is my absolute favorite White Snake song. Total eargasm. The rocking out, the build then the release. The violin/guitar playing makes my heart kick into overdrive every time since I was a teen in the 80's
This to me was their best song. Tawny Kitaen auditioned for this video who the singer, David Coverdale married.
This song goes so unreasonably hard, what a riff. One of my favourite songs growing up.
This is my all time favorite song by Whitesnake.........the bass is insane! Another great reaction man!
Iconic, symbolic, the most representative song of the 80's Hair metal and I dare to say on the top 5!!
The bow on the guitar is the best part. The breakdown is my fave part. The 80s hair bands were all about sex and rock n roll. Whitesnake was huge at the time. I remember my cousin driving me around and blasting them on tape. Yea, that's his girl. She just dyed her hair.
One of the BEST guitar solos
g'day from Downunder. Saw Whitesnake live and it was incredible. "Slow'n'Easy" is EPIC.
Hail from Oz. 3912 Vic
Simple, natural theme presented in an incredible performance. Rock on!! 🤘
When we first saw this as teens and he had the bow on the guitar, it blew our minds. We used to blast this video every day after school on MTV.

Such a great song! It's the same girl, she just has red hair in this one. The 80s were an awesome time, I wish we could go back.
This is the song we'd use to ensure our car steroes and amps were tuned just right. Pushing those 3-way 6X9s to the max. My little Toyota 4X4 had an Alpine head unit, and Qty 6 - 6X9s, 2 - 6in 2ways, 2 - 4in 2ways, a couple tweeters and a 1200W multichannel amp. That thing shook to this song.

Then David wanted to jump on the United States Hairband bandwagon and started changing personnel with the 1984 album Slide It In. I still prefer the original Whitesnake lineup and sound. In 1987 Whitesnake released their Hairband debut album Whitesnake, with their revamped lineup, and it contained the hit song “Still Of the Night”, and their biggest hit “Here I Go Again '87" written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden. This was previously released on their 1982 album Saints and Sinners. Many of the biggest post ‘87 Whitesnake songs were re-recorded songs from their 1982 and prior albums. "Walking in the Shadow of the Blues" was on their 1979 album Love Hunter and was also written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden. Their 1980 album Ready An’ Willing contained the song, “Fool for Your Loving" another great song co-written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden. Also on the Ready An’ Willing album was a song that David Coverdale wrote pre Whitesnake, “Blindman”. It is an all time favorite of mine. It is something special. Just a beautiful song. I’ll leave the link for it below.
“Blindman”

We had low technology in the 80s. Great song and reaction.
Definately on my playlist ever since it first came out, and yes , he is using the bow from a violin to play his guitar during that awesome break . Deep purple did it for one of the best rock song intros on knockin at your back door.
RIP Tawny Kitaen.
Slow and easy and suspicious minds are bangers by whitesnake
Steve Vai's riff on this song is just epic.
That's the only reason I can think that this song is so much diffrent it was the only whitesnakes album he was in.
Cheers
Helios from Greece.
Yep we love our rock.
The redhead is Tawny Kitaen was David Coverdale's wife from 1989-1991. Check out Deep Purple...the band David was in before Whitesnake. I'm sure you've heard the song "Smoke on the Water"
This song was absolute 🔥🔥🔥 in the 80s and now it is iconic 🔥🔥🔥 nearly 40 years later! 💯
Saw them in concert in the late 80s. He did in fact use the bow to play the guitar on this song.
As a teenager in the 80's it was my goal to emulate a hard rock video vixen. I was born a little too late bc I didn't turn 18 until '92 and only had a few short years left to dress like this at the clubs while it was still the style 😂 These videos were just as much for us girls as the men. These were the men I grew up w on my bedroom walls and always ended up dating. What I wouldn't give for these times back 🤘😝🤘
It’s been on my playlist since the day it came out! Cassette till now!
You gotta do slow and easy. Great track
Sophmore year flashback! 1987 was a great year for music! WHITESNAKE, DEF LEPPARD, DAVID LEE ROTH, all released albums around the same time. There are alot of LED ZEPPELIN connections to WHITESNAKE. Jimmy Page played the guitar with a violin bow in concert on Dazed and Confused. Here, it is Adrian Vandenberg. The lead singer for WHITESNAKE, David Coverdale would do an album a few years later with ZEPPELIN'S Jimmy Page called COVERDALE PAGE. The album cover had a highway merge sign on it.
You got to listen to whitesnake slide it in
@@fishtoledo or slow and easy.
I'm an old fart, but I was in my 30's and single during the 80's. I had sooo much fun! All growed up now and retired.
old school rock and roll. great song
This was on a lot of peoples "fuck" list. A list of songs you put on when you are getting down. The rhythm...its all about the rhythm. Having Led Zeppelin's Kashmir before or after this song = 15 minutes of steady pounding.
If you want to just skip the innuendo, listen to Slide it In or Spit it Out, and yes, they are the real titles.
David Coverdale hand the epitome of the hair band rock star voice. Tawny Kittain was the crush of any teenage boy at that time.
Tawny Kataen was the lead singer’s, David Coverdale, wife. Also, Tawny is the girl in most if not all of the Whitesnake videos, she probably just died her hair different colors. The liquid that she was spraying was probably supposed to be perfume.
We lived in the greatest era for Rock Music, beautiful ladies, and recreational mood enhancing “supplements”. We also lived PRE AIDS/HIV and were able to live dangerously with the ladies. 😂 I wouldn’t trade 1980 - 1985 for ANYTHING, with 1983 being extra special!
The best Whitesnake song to me personally
Definitely miss these times! R.I.P. Tawny! Sharing hairspray with the guys was a thing!🤣
Love this one! Im a boomer, grew up with the best music!
Tawny Kitaen was also Robbin Crosby from Ratt's girlfriend, and she was married to Chuck Finley a famous pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. She famously attacked him with one of her high heels one time.😮😂
Pueblo in the house!!! Digging your reactions!!
Love the instrumental coming out of the breakdown. Love them 80's girls.
John Sykes was the original guitarist on the album. Adrian Vandenberg did the solo here in the video. And I saw Whitesnake open for Motley Crue in 1987 and Vandenberg did the same thing with the violin bow and his guitar....live. But Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin did it. And I believe Jimi Hendrix also did it before Jimmy Page.
@Black Pegasus, I consider this song as one of the Top 10 songs ever. Maybe even Top 5. That breakdown part with the bow-played guitar part and then how it shifts to that badass crescendo is one of the greatest transitions in music ever.
David Coverdale has been my ultimate man-crush for... more years than I want to admit to. However, the version everyone knows of Here I Go Again (this is a little-known fact) is not the original version of the song. It was originally recorded for the Saints & Sinners album in 1982. The main difference is that there's much heavier blues aspect to Whitesnake pre-1987. So if you want to listen to the original version of the song, it's very different... and probably my favorite version.
As a rocker, yes i can confirm, we are! :) Fun fact, none of the musicians in the video (except the leader singer) were on the album. The album musicians quit the band after the album was made and before the video. So they had find musicians to play for the video. The dark haired guitarist with the pink guitar is now with Def Leppard.
Vandenberg played the solo on "Here I Go Again" on the album, because Sykes didn't like the song.
Adrian VanDenburg was on the other guitar ( Vivian Campbell joined Def Leppard). Rudy Sarzo played bass,and Tommy Aldridge played drums in this vid. They DID become the touring band,actually. T
@@TerryKrysinskiRudy and Tommy also played with Ozzy
What???? I had no idea! Cool info. Steve Vai did the guitar lead, though, right???
@@amyroberts935 On Here I Go Again? No-- Adrian Vandenberg. Vai was on the next album ( and tour) - Slip Of The Tongue. T
This is my favorite song of theirs. Grew up on this music!
When 'Still of the night' by Whitesnake became a hit in 1987, many critics complained that they had "ripped off Led Zeppelin"... It was reinforced when former Zeppelin singer Robert Plant slammed Whitesnake in interviews, derogatorily calling singer David Coverdale "David Coverversion" ... However, former Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page loved "Still of the night"... and called it the "best song Led Zeppelin never wrote" 😂 In 1993, David Coverdale and Jimmy Page wrote and recorded the album 'Coverdale.Page'... which became a hit record. But they never got to tour extensively because Robert Plant and Jimmy Page started working together as Plant & Page by 1994.
