Btw Whitesnke are not and were never glam rock, they did have the hair (but then again so did thrash band back then) Musically they had nothing to do with glam.

Agreed. I can sort of see why some people would class them as that because of their overtly commercial mid-late 80's stuff, but I wouldn't even class that as glam. Yep, a lot of the lyrics are insipid, but musically, you really can't go wrong with stuff like "Fool For Your Lovin'", "Crying In The Rain", "Judgement Day", and "Here I Go Again". xD Definitely a class hard rock act. I wouldn't compare them with glam nonsense like Poison at all.

Well I've seen the band live with Judas Priest but I have recently gotten into them, I'm getting a little bit addicted to them haha...currently hearing them every day...my fav songs right now are: Is this love, Crying in the rain & Here I go again...I haven't bought an album yet, would like you to recommend the best one.

Self-titled. Whitesnake, 1987, whatever you wanna call it. It's got all the goodies, and when I purchased it I got it for $5, which is an awesome price.

I never said anything about albums, but that song is a glam rock staple, let's face it.

I agree; I mean, maybe on the whole Whitesnake are falsely labeled as a glam band, but the shit I hear on the radio definitely sounds glam to me. And that's not coming from someone who has a negative view of glam or some crusader or anything, just someone who unfortunately hears some rather poor choice in songs on the old radio.

When I saw theme live I was quite astonished when halfway through the drumsolo the drummer threw away his drumsticks and continued the drumsolo with his bare hands.

Does D Coverdale and Whitesnake nowadays play something from before 1987 album live?
Old from werry early and old true, real WS albums? Or he simply play those sex/love songs from 1987?

Concur that the original versions of "Here I Go Again" and "Crying in the Rain" are much better. Whitesnake were a decent blues-based rock band back in those days.

Whitesnake has pulled out of its previously announced North American tour with the Scorpions due to singer David Coverdale's "continued treatment for a persistent upper respiratory infection."
