I was 14 in 1987. That summer, as a gift for passing middle school exams, my brother and I asked my dad for a stereo system. My father loaded us into his car, a blue Fiat 127 and took us to a shop outside the city, in the industrial area. We didn't have much money and my father couldn't afford a big expense, but he satisfied us, we chose a modest hi-fi but with nice speakers. There was only one left, the one exhibited on trial for customers. They packed it in its original slightly dented packaging and we took it home. We immediately took it to our room and tried it. The owner had forgotten a tape inside, maybe he was using it to make customers hear the sound, or maybe he bought it and listened to it. It was "Whitesnake 1987" and the first song that came out of that stereo was " Still of the night". Whenever I happen to hear it, I'm 14 again and I'm with my brother in our teen room and life feels wonderful and full of fun again.
Yes, was pissed he wasn't in the video when he didn't even play on the song. Nothing against Vandenburg, he was a hero of mine, but come on Sykes MADE that song. The bow on the solo was magic.
Наоборот,Джон Сайкс,его талант и личная культура были самым высочайшим образом оценены его поклонниками. А вот Дэвид, слишком позавидовал Джону,особенно в период гастролей.Он хотел быть только первым во всем. А публика,особенно девушки, не скрывали своего восхищения таланту Джона. А ведь огрлмную роль играет и внешность.Сайкс великолепен во всем.
I thought that whole bow thing on the guitar was going to catch on... I love this song I still listen to it I'm 61 years old I'd have been 26 when it came out. And I always love that bow thing on the guitar.
I'm a Black American Man that lived the Historic 1980s teenage life. And dont care what anybody thinks about this.... this song and video was and is completely badasssss!!!!
Me too! I wasn't the only black face at a Whitesnake concert in '88 at the L.A. Forum. That was a badass show! I saw them also on the next tour. Great band!
Every time I watch this, it's the 80's front and centre, big hair, big guitar riff's proper rock as it was, man I miss the 80's, if you weren't there you missed out.
My wife and I started dating in the 80s. Whitesnake was part of the sound of those early days. In our 50s now, 3 grown kids, and 2 grandkids. When this song comes on, we both drop what we're doing and play air violins @3:19, exchange a 35 year old glance and grin, for just a few seconds, we're 17 again. Then back to whatever it is we're doing. Music is magical.
And great movies too. Great skate culture that went on into the 90s. Just more happier times all round. The 80s was a magical era. Dont let anyone else say different!
@@CarlosMoreno-rb6rs I think he was fired before they started making videos. Whitesnake had a different line up for touring for that record. I saw the touring lineup open for Motley Crue in 1987. They blew Motley Crue away! The two guitarists in that line up were Vivian Campbell (dark hair) and Adrian Vandenburg (blonde).
@@tomchristopher71 thank you, I always was puzzled about who appears in the video, cause he doesn't look like John Sykes at all, the answer is: Vivian Campbell!!! And Vandenberg is the blond one doing the violin stuff
In that category, love ain't no stranger, & Here I Go Again right there also, so incredibly hard to pick the "one"....... absolutely no problem picking the top 80s hard rock babe tho.....😉
I was reading lately that Coverdale had been ill and that he was nervous about recording vocals but that he actually laid down these vocals in the studio quickly and that the final result was achieved by joining two vocal takes.
Happy 71st Birthday David Coverdale and wish you many, many more. White Snake is part of the history of heavy metal .. Coverdale/Page is pretty good too.
Mine too I would dress like her in the late 80s early 90s for the clubs that one white strapless she had on I had one and wore it a lot or just tried to catch her image as much as possible! She was gorgeous and she was so active with her fans rip tawny
Im 26 was born in 1997 but I grew up listening to all the 80s hair metal bands because my parents know what good music is lol. I've seen a lot of these guys, Cinderella, motley Crue, def leopard, Tesla. So glad my parents put me on to this era of music. Wish I grew up in the 80s lol!
It was wild, I can tell you. There was music like this coming out every week. What a decade. Everything was big and exciting back then. They don't do it like that these days.
I wasn't born in the 80s or even the 90s, but I absolutely adore Whitesnake as well as other rock bands in the 80s and 70s. My dad told me he once saw them live playing this song. I can only imagine just how magical it was. I hope my generation won't forget songs and bands like these. Music is something I will always appreciate.
If you aren't turned off by the Satanic imagery, Ghost are a great band who take a lot of influence from '70s and '80s Rock. They even give a nod to this song on "Respite on the Spitalfields".
I remember driving around late one night looking for a party to this song. We had just picked up some friends and we were heading up into the hills. We had it playing loud and we were all being loud too, that is until the song spiraled down into the bridge. As we made our way through the dark. I remember how quiet it had gotten. No one spoke a word or made a sound. I'll never forget the look on everybody's face, especially the one girl who had never heard this song. We were all feeling it big time. The night, the hills, the moon, the cool summer air. The song literally became the soundtrack for the moment. What a night and what a magical time to be young and alive.
XffTheGrid411 Well I remember being at a payphone in my Station and put the phone up to the speaker so my best friend could hear a new kick butt tune and I said well what do ya think? He said that's why you act that way listening to music like that LOL.
The model featured in the music video is Tawny Kitaen. She gained significant attention for her appearances in several Whitesnake music videos in the 1980s, including "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love," but perhaps most famously for "Still of the Night." Her presence in these videos helped catapult her to fame. Sadly Tawny Kitaen passed away on May 7, 2021. cause of death was reported as coronary artery disease. She passed away at her home in Newport Beach, California, on May 7, 2021, at the age of 59. Rest In Peace Tawny
Tawny also struggled with substance-abuse in her career. I always admired her in the 1980s & 1990s. She had a fantastic mix of feral & innocence. RIP Tawny.
Man, I was living in Pensacola Florida in 1987 when this came out. It was the year after I lost my virginity. I was so young and wild and free and not a care in the world when I first heard this. Man I can still remember it like it was YESTERDAY. I turned 50 this past March and I think back how young and wild I was and if I could go back in time and stay stuck in the 80s forever I would. MTV was MTV not the crap that it is now. I wish this young generation could go back to the 80s and let them experience the 80s and Mtv back then, they would not want to go back neither. Man the girls the music and the life style of the 80s nothing compares to it. Lord what happen to those days. America was always beautiful but it was so beautiful living in America in the 80s. I'm not kidding when I say this but if I had 5 million dollars today I would give it up in a heart beat to go back to the 80s and start over. Someone build me a time machine please!!!
William Santiago long post,but I would love to go back for many reasons & as far as music goes,this is garbage.Basically same beat,auto tune in studio& pretty much same rhymes.But great times& great drugs,but I would give my liver to go back.
i’m only nineteen and i hate this generation, like i truly believe i was born in the wrong generation and i wish i had a time machine, so i could go back to the eighties and live my teenage years in the years that i should’ve.. which was the eighties 😔
Just read about Tawny Kitaen passing away. RIP and thanks for being a most memorable part of my youth. Watching these vids on Mtv made for some awesome weekends hanging out with friends.
Sadly I just heard about it today. I listen to this song most of the times and I have made covers of Whitesnake and knowing shes passed away in my memories I carry her. Thanks Whitesnake and Tawney for amazing music and videos! Keep Rocking 🤘🏻🤟🏻
IT IS MY FRIEND AND WE HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT ABOUT THIS SONG SPECIFICALLY IT IS SO WELL PUT TOGETHER WITH EVERYTHING IN IT .. EVEN A VIOLIN BOW ON THE GUITAR AND IT FITS ... HAHA BEST SONG EVER !! ;)
David coverdale is still whitesnake lead singer till this day it'll be great if whitesnake comes to Winnipeg for a night I'd go see David coverdale anytime
Eh,,, Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant, Rick Emmit, David Coverdale, Steven Tyler, Sammy Hagar, for me, in no particular order,,, I am jealous and hate them all equally, they're so damn good lol...
“HAD” Unfortunately, past tense. I don’t know if its age (tho’ some singers are older and they sing gloriously), drinking, smoking, or forcing it too much over the years, today it’s shot... he lets the audience do most of the singing. :(
Interestingly, not a single person in this video were on the recording they are miming. Rudy Sarzo playing Neil Murray's bass track, Tommy Aldridge is playing Ansley Dunbar's drum track and Adrian Vandenberg miming John Sykes guitar as well as Syke's bowed guitar part. The song is so incredible I just think the original players shouldn't be forgotten is the only reason I mention it here. One of the greatest tracks of all time and my favorite Whitesnake song ever.
Happy 79th Birthday Aynsley Thomas Dunbar 10 January 1946. Too many accolades to list but his work with Journey got him in the RRHF. Interestingly enough, he wrote the Journey song, "Feeling That Way". Many, many more Aynsley. Cheers Mate !!
I was lucky enough to see Whitesnake open for Motley Crue on their Girls, Girls, Girls Tour in 1987. I paid only $18.50 for that show!!! I'm glad that I grew up in the 80's.
For 18.50 a ticket I’m jealous ya saw them for that price....this is what happens when I’m born the early 90’s, when thrash metal was dying out and grunge was taking over 😂😂
Very few PERFECT songs out there. The type of song that you couldn't imagine a universe where it doesn't exist. It's almost like they didn't even write it themselves but the spirit of lust came down to Earth in the form of music and chose these dudes to replicate it. It's that good.
As a woman her own age I can say I wanted to be her. She was everything in the late 80’s. As they say, men wanted her and women wanted to be her. RIP TAWNY.
@@acgillespie she supported David Coverdale financially when he was $3M in debt to David Geffen. She had more money than him when they started dating. So DC owed her. She did the videos to help him out, she said no to the other bands that wanted to work with her.
Ya that's just awesome and so original....groan...why don't you listen to a real band? You don't have to crap around with this over the top empty shit!
@Sheron Edge Ironically mine looked this big naturally and I spent hours ironing it to get it flat and straight. Fortunately it doesn’t take as long after all these years of doing it. It’s still down to my butt. I’ve always loved long hair, still do. (On men, too!)
@@NenaMataHari .Had you seen her Recently? I doubt it seriously or you would not be saying this.. She destroyed herself with plastic surgery's & drug abuse. she was not the same girl as the 80s
This was released in 1987 (I had a brand new Camaro, rocked this song in my cool ride!) Fast forward to 2021... I'm now 59 years old, Camaro is long gone, but I've got a 1987 Monte Carlo SS (cassette player and all) with t-tops, and this is one of my favorite tunes to jam in the car! Makes me feel 25 again!
John kicks ass, all through this era....! so much so Dave Coverdale had to replace him with Steve Vai (arguably the greatest guitarist since Randy Rhoads)...
Listening and watching his wife. Beautiful, and dude had a rockin voice. My late sister used to love this song as a teenager. Playing it loud in her civic ex hatchback. I miss ya Deanna. Have a blast and I’ll see you soon enough!! peace
Twany, you will be missed. Very sad to see the artists that I admire so much, pass away one by one. The 80's forever engraved in my mind. Such an awesome time to be alive. RIP Twany 🙏
❤ I remember being a teenager and felt a complete certain way when that break down started at 2:02. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I lived for that moment when this song came on the radio!!! Like a whole different song and vibe.🔥 "...feel my body heat....." 🤘🏽 Man, the 80s was everything.❤❤
A good piece of music that fascinated my later teenage. Tawny was in almost anyone's dreams. RIP Tawny. You lived to be cherished, you were and still are !
I could play this from 3:15 on for hours on repeat and melt into a mellodic metal coma. That mid section is one of the best in any song period. It is haunting and when the bass line pairs with the keyboard oh my god, just oh my god
She was David's wife for a few years.. so she was a big part of his life in general back in the day. So sad such gorgeous woman aged too soon having drug addiction. Seems like she also underwent some plastic surgery which changed her appearance dramatically. And now she's gone. So sad..
Waited to make a post awhile back … was in the industry 40 years ago. I escaped only because the cigarettes, smoke and booze was outrageous. I had hospitalizations due to extreme bronchitis and some other physical (surgery) reasons I couldn’t emotionally recover from running hard. Excitement was my addiction. Day in day out. Night in night out. It’s really painful just reminded of some of the sweetest young women who were supportive and were USED, who blasted off the planet early or still paying the price for the coarseness of rock n roll. I’ll leave it at that. At 20 first bands.. on the road circuit 23yrs at the time 1977 I thought the goal was to be accountable, earn respect, be mentored by elite professionals, produce great records, entertain the world. Wrong. I was totally off in my own world of self discipline, pushing the limits in technology (available) tho’ not perfect. I’d never do it again. No regrets, other than I warned as many as I could, (as I was) introducing musicians to a way out. Some did leave and successful in other industries, IT, surgeon, etc. (My close friends I travel the U.S. in large venues, showcases, 52 weeks a year). Several of guys are with the best of the best in their 50s & early 60s. However, the pandemic has taken a huge toll of their lifestyle and families. Anywho Tawny Kitaens, of the world. Just know you were and still loved. And I know you changed the world for many a soul. God Speed everyone.
This song had it all... let's be honest - there are simply no songs that have all the elements represented here. Excellent guitar intro, melody change, solo singing, guitar guitar jamming, drums and percussions... beautiful XJ12s, amazing singer's voice & his sexy model. This should be labeled as one of the best 80's songs (and beyond).
Tawny Kitaen may she rest in peace. Beautiful woman. I used to look at her and wish I was one of those video chicks. May her soul be at peace now. Condolences to her family, friends and fans. So sad.

Best Whitesnake track. That solo is from another world. The changes of rythm are incredibles. 1987 is one of the best albuns ever.
Agreed!
True! Amazing song
Definitely this song's amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
I've seen them live twice. 88 in Germany. One of my fav groups. David Coverdale is so great. From deep purple to whitesnake. Awsome.
Best ever.
I was 14 in 1987. That summer, as a gift for passing middle school exams, my brother and I asked my dad for a stereo system. My father loaded us into his car, a blue Fiat 127 and took us to a shop outside the city, in the industrial area. We didn't have much money and my father couldn't afford a big expense, but he satisfied us, we chose a modest hi-fi but with nice speakers. There was only one left, the one exhibited on trial for customers. They packed it in its original slightly dented packaging and we took it home. We immediately took it to our room and tried it. The owner had forgotten a tape inside, maybe he was using it to make customers hear the sound, or maybe he bought it and listened to it.

Fantastic. It truly is amazing how music can transport us to a time and place from the past.
Amazing memory man! Cheers!
Is It not time we return to those days ? And get off the 2020 train wreck
wicked story man!
Amazing story!
John Sykes never gets the credit he’s due for the groovy ass guitar work on this album.
Yes, was pissed he wasn't in the video when he didn't even play on the song. Nothing against Vandenburg, he was a hero of mine, but come on Sykes MADE that song. The bow on the solo was magic.
Best songs were on this album, but Vai was the best sound!
Got paid so there is that.

ONE BAD ASS SONG AND VIDEO

Whitesnake
Feb 27, 2009
Man, I was living in Pensacola Florida in 1987 when this came out. It was the year after I lost my virginity. I was so young and wild and free and not a care in the world when I first heard this. Man I can still remember it like it was YESTERDAY. I turned 50 this past March and I think back how young and wild I was and if I could go back in time and stay stuck in the 80s forever I would. MTV was MTV not the crap that it is now. I wish this young generation could go back to the 80s and let them experience the 80s and Mtv back then, they would not want to go back neither. Man the girls the music and the life style of the 80s nothing compares to it. Lord what happen to those days. America was always beautiful but it was so beautiful living in America in the 80s. I'm not kidding when I say this but if I had 5 million dollars today I would give it up in a heart beat to go back to the 80s and start over. Someone build me a time machine please!!!
William Santiago long post,but I would love to go back for many reasons & as far as music goes,this is garbage.Basically same beat,auto tune in studio& pretty much same rhymes.But great times& great drugs,but I would give my liver to go back.
I didn't lived in 80's but i always hope that... the music, the girls, the style... everything.
i’m only nineteen and i hate this generation, like i truly believe i was born in the wrong generation and i wish i had a time machine, so i could go back to the eighties and live my teenage years in the years that i should’ve.. which was the eighties 😔
@@xo_brie I'm 20, I can relate to that. 80's are the decade I belong to
Marija me too, this generation sucks.
Tawney Kitaen played a--shall we say--"special part" in the lives of every teen male metal fan.
RIP Tawney Kitaen!
So true....!
Well put sir.
That was pure Rock n Roll.. not metal
And some female's👌
But mostly a special part in David coverdale's life
Probably THE hottest, sexiest hard rock tune IMO
Totally yes Elizabeth
Completely agree. I was actually looking for this exact comment lol.
u Ain't lying Old-one…!
Just read about Tawny Kitaen passing away. RIP and thanks for being a most memorable part of my youth. Watching these vids on Mtv made for some awesome weekends hanging out with friends.
Rest In Peace Tawny, let’s remember you for the good times.
Sadly I just heard about it today.
I listen to this song most of the times and I have made covers of Whitesnake and knowing shes passed away in my memories I carry her. Thanks Whitesnake and Tawney for amazing music and videos! Keep Rocking 🤘🏻🤟🏻
Just sad
RIP 🙏😩😭
And great in movie Cocoon. RIP
Just found out now . 🙏
This has to be one of the greatest rock metal songs in the history of humankind.
But the critics has them underrated
Amen!!!
IT IS MY FRIEND AND WE HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT ABOUT THIS SONG SPECIFICALLY IT IS SO WELL PUT TOGETHER WITH EVERYTHING IN IT .. EVEN A VIOLIN BOW ON THE GUITAR AND IT FITS ... HAHA BEST SONG EVER !! ;)
😂
@@pablomoreno6399 дхтнзззз⁹х
David Coverdale is such an excellent vocalist!!
Great voice. The way he sang some of this seemed to me to draw on a Robert Plant influence,from one particular Led Zep song.
@@rjjcms1It’s that obvious
Dave Coverdale has one of the best rock voices of all time.
Agree! like Robert Plant as well.
David coverdale is still whitesnake lead singer till this day it'll be great if whitesnake comes to Winnipeg for a night I'd go see David coverdale anytime
Eh,,, Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant, Rick Emmit, David Coverdale, Steven Tyler, Sammy Hagar, for me, in no particular order,,, I am jealous and hate them all equally, they're so damn good lol...
@@adamtson and Freddie mercury
“HAD” Unfortunately, past tense. I don’t know if its age (tho’ some singers are older and they sing gloriously), drinking, smoking, or forcing it too much over the years, today it’s shot... he lets the audience do most of the singing. :(
I am so damn happy that I grew up in the 80's, we'll never have music like this again. Rock on
I totally agree
Greta Van Fleet says hello and Steel Panther!
Hi buddy as long as theres Hair Nation i will always Rock on so crank it up and keep Rocking.
PunisherWars1 both those bands suck
Yes you will. Its coming
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
It sure does not! I still listen to it
@@JSharpe427
Amen! What a decade. The music, fashion, movies and beloved TV shows...What a privilege to grow up in that era!
@@tomlake6345 definitely! Saturday morning cartoons, soul train, weekday cartoons, Mr. T! I can go on forever!
TRUE🤘🤘
😂💯
Interestingly, not a single person in this video were on the recording they are miming. Rudy Sarzo playing Neil Murray's bass track, Tommy Aldridge is playing Ansley Dunbar's drum track and Adrian Vandenberg miming John Sykes guitar as well as Syke's bowed guitar part. The song is so incredible I just think the original players shouldn't be forgotten is the only reason I mention it here. One of the greatest tracks of all time and my favorite Whitesnake song ever.
Happy 79th Birthday Aynsley Thomas Dunbar 10 January 1946.
Too many accolades to list but his work with Journey got him in the RRHF.
Interestingly enough, he wrote the Journey song, "Feeling That Way".
Many, many more Aynsley. Cheers Mate !!
Best Whitesnakes song forever
I Love Whats Nake .
Love their slide it in album better
Best solo ever, unique like no other ever be another solo like this ever.😁
I was lucky enough to see Whitesnake open for Motley Crue on their Girls, Girls, Girls Tour in 1987. I paid only $18.50 for that show!!! I'm glad that I grew up in the 80's.
NoRest ForTheWicked
Goodness what a priceless memory. #lucky #rockon
NoRest ForTheWicked me too! October 1987 in Phoenix AZ.
Yeah easier and better times
For 18.50 a ticket I’m jealous ya saw them for that price....this is what happens when I’m born the early 90’s, when thrash metal was dying out and grunge was taking over 😂😂
Me too 😘💕
🏆🏆Who was there 87 and here in 2024 ? ?? still one of the most awesome songs and videos. I bought the tape in 87 🏆🏆🏆🏆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was born in 87 ha
Press play and go on the ride. The entire tape. Don't skip shit.
Very few PERFECT songs out there. The type of song that you couldn't imagine a universe where it doesn't exist. It's almost like they didn't even write it themselves but the spirit of lust came down to Earth in the form of music and chose these dudes to replicate it. It's that good.
I saw them in concert 87 .
July 2024. He will forever me the other David in my life. My hubby's name is David
I’m here to pay my respects to Tawny.
Love ya.
You will be remembered.
Same.
She died of coronavirus?
As a woman her own age I can say I wanted to be her. She was everything in the late 80’s. As they say, men wanted her and women wanted to be her. RIP TAWNY.
@@folladordeprostis It has not been officially said yet, but one of her close friends said it was from complications from pneumonia.
RIP to her.
The band owes much success to these videos with Tawny Kitaen...who else is here because of her? God rest her soul.
They provided her a very nice house and life..
And the other way around. These are masterpieces of rock.
I dont listen to Whitesnake without thinking of Tawny, that would be impossible..
I certainly am.
@@acgillespie she supported David Coverdale financially when he was $3M in debt to David Geffen. She had more money than him when they started dating. So DC owed her. She did the videos to help him out, she said no to the other bands that wanted to work with her.
*This song is, BY FAR, Whitesnake's best song! The guitar riffs in this song are legendary! 1987 was a year I'll never forget!*
Probably their hardest rock and roll song
Along with Crying in the Rain...
My year! ❤
Best song you'll ever hear. Glad to be here!!!❤
The voice of Coverdale and the guitar of Sykes where the perfect match
And Sykes look so damn sexy yummy
We need to bring back the 80s for real!!!!!
Yes let's do it.
Hey, I’m in. All we gotta do is get the whole world to participate, ITS POSSIBLE
@@n8lang
Let's do it!!!!!
🎤😎🎸
Crashdiet, Crazy Lixx, Santa Cruz, and Reckless Love. If you love 80's Metal, check out those 4 bands.
@@Leelee-nf9xx
I may have heard their songs but the bands names don't look fimilar.
RIP Tawny Kitaen, one of the greatest and loveliest ladies to ever grace metal and hard rock videos. You'll be deeply missed and never forgotten.
yes !!!
1987 I was 16 .with the window down 6 * 9 pioneers blasting this song out. No worries an nowhere to go. Take me back please. Better times Better place
Coverdale's voice is something really special
Love the mood and magical change at 3:18. Beautiful
+kenny P Best part, incredible! Amazing!
3:18: Me Gusta
+kenny P Agreed! Best part of the song, imo
true
***** Well put
Probably my favorite Whitesnake song!!! I love how it slows down in the middle, then builds back up again!
It's called creshendo
Rob Wells crescendo
You need to hear Judgement Day: ua-cam.com/video/jA0iCUuGzco/v-deo.html
Ya that's just awesome and so original....groan...why don't you listen to a real band? You don't have to crap around with this over the top empty shit!
my thoughts exactly, that's why i'm here!!
Only those of us who grew up listening to this would understand !!! 😎
Yup
Ovo je super, nasa muzika luda, al je bila dobraaa
I still jam to it!
I’m 55 and still rock this several times a week.
@@angiehorn9417 🤘♥️💪😘
*This Kind Of Music Should Be Played Loud & Proud So Crank It Up!!!*
Yes sweetie your a beautiful lady sweetie
RIP Tawny. Most beautiful woman. Women don't look like this anymore. I wanted to look just like her back in the day. No one beats her hair.
Me too.
@Sheron Edge Ironically mine looked this big naturally and I spent hours ironing it to get it flat and straight. Fortunately it doesn’t take as long after all these years of doing it. It’s still down to my butt. I’ve always loved long hair, still do. (On men, too!)
I wish I had a body like hers.
David's hair ain't half bad either.
@@NenaMataHari .Had you seen her Recently? I doubt it seriously or you would not be saying this.. She destroyed herself with plastic surgery's & drug abuse. she was not the same girl as the 80s
3:19 in my opinion the best part of this song. Always gives me chills.🤘🏼
completely agree!
Damright
Yes
YES!
the duh duh na na nah na gets me too
Never gets old. Makes me feel extreme! Air quitar baby
An absolute masterpiece. This is definitely in God's playlist.
This was released in 1987 (I had a brand new Camaro, rocked this song in my cool ride!) Fast forward to 2021... I'm now 59 years old, Camaro is long gone, but I've got a 1987 Monte Carlo SS (cassette player and all) with t-tops, and this is one of my favorite tunes to jam in the car! Makes me feel 25 again!
Had a 86 MC SS. Loved driving it when it wasn't in the shop.
I had an 87 Camaro RS with Ttops and Rally stripes loved that car
@@chrisgates7738 Nice!
I had a late 80s Ford pickup truck.
Us guys used to cruise around the back roads blasting out great 80s hair bands
M.A.G.A
3:16 onwards give me goosebumps...LOVE this part of the song...John Sykes is such an amazing guitarist!
Hell yeah!!!! Favorite part of the song.
.John Sykes is such an amazing guitarist!
But this is Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell in this video...I thought Sykes was he original guitarist.. right?
@@gusgarcia4884correct
@@gusgarcia4884 Sykes wrote on the song. Vandenberg just played it. They're both seriously fantastic guitarists/creators, tho.
I promise I will always listen to whitesnake; I’m 16 rn , 2024
well done good young man, this is a masterpiece song from a great band.
Minute 3:19 man I feel ALIVE❤️😭🤘🏼!!!!! Doesn't get better than this!! 80s
That's when it goes hip hop beat.. hah. Gangsta.
Fuckle Jewerbag ik.ik
John kicks ass, all through this era....! so much so Dave Coverdale had to replace him with Steve Vai (arguably the greatest guitarist since Randy Rhoads)...
I totally agree!!!
Love this song but as you say from 3:20 onwards its absolutely incredible
When music was music. Best era ever. Hands down
My high school days, first car, & first job...in a music store! It was the best time to be alive.
@@Gotchagood4It qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
Awesome concert.this was the opening song.sounded awesome. Good time.
The fallen angels know how to make good music. Thank you!!!
Yes definitely
Here to honor Tawny. Every man wanted her and every woman wanted to be her back in the day. Too young to die. R.I.P.
No I didn't want to be her.
Listening and watching his wife. Beautiful, and dude had a rockin voice. My late sister used to love this song as a teenager. Playing it loud in her civic ex hatchback. I miss ya Deanna. Have a blast and I’ll see you soon enough!! peace
Tawny you will be missed. You made this every teenagers dream video. R.I.P.
Dude, we need this kind of music to make a come back. 80’s metal ruled
80s metal is Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Priest... This is 80s Hard Rock. No hate though, this song is great.
For sure
Two words: Steel Panther
Joseph Ancion This is heavy/hair metal . these guys were touring with motley crue & ratt & dokken back in the day aswell . all hair/heavy metal .
Um... not metal. 80s rock definitely, but not metal. 🤘
Twany, you will be missed.
Very sad to see the artists that I admire so much, pass away one by one.
The 80's forever engraved in my mind. Such an awesome time to be alive.
RIP Twany 🙏
It's Tawny. Lol 😉😘😄
❤ I remember being a teenager and felt a complete certain way when that break down started at 2:02. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I lived for that moment when this song came on the radio!!! Like a whole different song and vibe.🔥 "...feel my body heat....." 🤘🏽 Man, the 80s was everything.❤❤
I hear you nostalgic
A good piece of music that fascinated my later teenage.
Tawny was in almost anyone's dreams.
RIP Tawny.
You lived to be cherished, you were and still are !
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
@@fpostolache Of course it’s me. Well I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
I could play this from 3:15 on for hours on repeat and melt into a mellodic metal coma. That mid section is one of the best in any song period. It is haunting and when the bass line pairs with the keyboard oh my god, just oh my god
No keyboard. It is harmonics on the 5th fret ( like a a bell ringing) from one guitar and the other is playing a violin wand
1000% agree Maury!!!!
Progressive melodic hard rock:)
Haunting...exactly.
spot on with those comments....just haunting and badass guitar/bass playing
3:18.. Excellent passage!!
The '80's are awesome.
The way he plays the guitar 🎸 like a violin during the rift! Love it
I bumped into David Coverdale in an elevator in a Miami hotel. I was heading to work he was going jogging. Nice guy. He is a gentleman.
This song represents the 80s rock perfectly, So glad i was part of this as a teenager 🙂
How did I miss this masterpiece? Cant believe I've just discovered it at the age of 30. What the hell have I been listening to?
Welcome to the light!
OMG...welcome.
Great Album
I am 40. I knew it a while back. Better late than never. UA-cam is wonderful.
Better late than never xd
Welcome nos you have to ho and listen "ritchie blackmore rainbow"
Haha, I remember being 13 and spending hours trying to play that riff! It was worth it. Good times man.
RIP Tawny Kitaen. You were such a huge part of the Whitesnake videos. Guys went crazy for you & girls wanted to be you. So very sorry. 🌷🙏❤
Absolutely!
Well said, the early 80's were it, so many memories.
I'm shocked
She was David's wife for a few years.. so she was a big part of his life in general back in the day. So sad such gorgeous woman aged too soon having drug addiction. Seems like she also underwent some plastic surgery which changed her appearance dramatically. And now she's gone. So sad..
Waited to make a post awhile back … was in the industry 40 years ago. I escaped only because the cigarettes, smoke and booze was outrageous. I had hospitalizations due to extreme bronchitis and some other physical (surgery) reasons I couldn’t emotionally recover from running hard. Excitement was my addiction. Day in day out. Night in night out.
It’s really painful just reminded of some of the sweetest young women who were supportive and were USED, who blasted off the planet early or still paying the price for the coarseness of rock n roll.
I’ll leave it at that. At 20 first bands.. on the road circuit 23yrs at the time 1977 I thought the goal was to be accountable, earn respect, be mentored by elite professionals, produce great records, entertain the world. Wrong.
I was totally off in my own world of self discipline, pushing the limits in technology (available) tho’ not perfect.
I’d never do it again. No regrets, other than I warned as many as I could, (as I was) introducing musicians to a way out. Some did leave and successful in other industries, IT, surgeon, etc.
(My close friends I travel the U.S. in large venues, showcases, 52 weeks a year).
Several of guys are with the best of the best in their 50s & early 60s. However, the pandemic has taken a huge toll of their lifestyle and families.
Anywho Tawny Kitaens, of the world. Just know you were and still loved. And I know you changed the world for many a soul.
God Speed everyone.
The bridge and breakdown of this song are so ahead of its time. The epic/suspenseful synths combined with glorious vocals? Perfection.
Hum, always looked too "whole lotta love" to me ... still, good music.
Whitesnake for a Super Bowl Half-Time Show!!!
+Bryan D. Wolfe great idea!!!!
a'm in!
Tawny was the cause of so many problems within that band.
LMAO!!
Would you rather see Taylor Swift and Kanye West? I sure as Hell don't wanna see that shit!!
THE most perfect Whitesnake song❤
One of the best guitar solos ever
6:24 LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤ mind blowingly fantastic!!!!
ERIK YEAH……………
🎉
Uui
Llk😊
I'll be 50 in a few weeks, and to this day the breakdown in this song is my absolute favorite.
I Agree And I Dont Even Like The 80s Hair Bands But This Break Down Is Something Special
No kidding I will be 45 LOVE THIS SONG BEEN ONE MY FAVORITES SINCE I WAS 11.
Happy Birthday...
Rocking this song to work hahaha.
Sorry for ignorance but what is breakdown?
That solo. Masterpiece.
Paul Gorham III especially the legato phrase
I like the fucking squeal he does in 4:18. He is literally screaming with the guitar.
@@sashingopaul3111no legato phrase in there
This entire song is a masterpiece. From the opening riff to the guitar solo with the violin. One of the greatest hair metal songs ever
Such stage pressence. Rock needs this today. Nothing feels epic anymore.
John Sykes is a guitar god!
In a post-covid world, will we ever get to experience concerts like we used to?
I Would Suggest A TOOL Or Nine Inch Nails Concert If You Ever Get The Chance. Mind Blowing Shows I Guarantee It 👍
This song had it all... let's be honest - there are simply no songs that have all the elements represented here. Excellent guitar intro, melody change, solo singing, guitar guitar jamming, drums and percussions... beautiful XJ12s, amazing singer's voice & his sexy model. This should be labeled as one of the best 80's songs (and beyond).
A kickass video to go along with it all too
$portsFan Tom Sawyer by Rush is pretty impressive. That song would get my vote.
You got that right the best song of the 80's especially the Acapella part by DC awesome . long live WS and DP
I'm a true child of the 80s, and Tawny will always be *iconic* for me. Very sad to hear of her passing today.
3:19 is my favourite part of the song. That melody gives such a great vibe.
Tawny Kitaen may she rest in peace. Beautiful woman. I used to look at her and wish I was one of those video chicks. May her soul be at peace now. Condolences to her family, friends and fans. So sad.
She had a youtube channel, and she was just an incredibly sweet person.
@@storiedtbh any link?
One of the most underrated groups ever....
what? they still get air play...not to mention Tawny Kataine, a reason to grow your hair!
What ??
lol underrated? bro What drugs are you taking? whitesnake sold 15 million albums.
15 million is not underrated
