For some reason I go back to watching this video because it makes me want to practice guitar again how melodic it is.Does anybody feel the same way when they watch this
Same here dude in 1992 I gave up playing bass because of the grudge bullshit I was already in a stable band going from playing covers we got out shit together only to be told to do what Pearl Jam or idiots of nirvana so three years ago coworker gave me cheap bass ( China amazing bass) but that’s all needed so I would go bald and watch this video and many like it. So yes brother yes.
As far as we know, the present day (even in an awful pandemic) is probably better than the alternative, so we should try to make the best of things and enjoy it while we can!
1989....jr year going into my senior year of high school 89-90, saw this tour in may of 1990 right before graduating one of the last great albums of the 80's good times.
I didn't know Coverdale could play guitar let alone that well. Seems very blued influenced with some jazzy chords. I love seeing the Peavey VTM 60's...Whitesnake is why I bought a VTM60 and a 120 back in the day. And Adrian Vandenberg is why I bought Peavey Nitros (still own 3) and Tracers.
Jellyfish have survived for over 600 million years without a brain. A ray of hope for some at the BBC. And despite the rumors, I did not sleep with all of their wives. The fine men at the BBC that is, not the jellyfish.
Coverdale hails from my neck of the woods, although he never really spoke with a local accent, he never really spoke like that either...so why the fuck he chooses to speak like little lord snooty now, is beyond me...just be yourself, and stop trying to be someone that your'e not
I just read the Rudy Sarzo bio, and it's a little weird to see him with Whitesnake now that I know so much about him and his life. He is truly a great human being!!!!
Es excelente en todo lo que hace!!!!! Un lujo de músico, un gran compositor y el gran cantante. Es maravillosos poder verlo tocando ya que en vivo no lo hace
Unbelievable Stuff !!! Thank you David for sharing them with us !!! God Bless You !!! (michadas here from BBS - if you remember - Our Best Regards from Greece)
David is beyond FINE, until this day. I was fortunate enough to get to one of their concerts. Great band and I loved all of the hair! What a voice too. In some songs he sounds a lot like Robert Plant, but a bit deeper.
As far as I remember, Steve Vai came aboard pretty late. Adrian had an injury that prevented him from recording (what you see here is just rough pre-production that didn't go on the album), so Steve recorded all the guitars parts, in his Mothership studio. The songs had been written at that stage.
I saw a picture of David playing Tommy Bolins Strat in Pirate Sound in June 1975. I know it was Tommy's as he used to gaffer tape his plectrums to the scratch board. Something tells me David didn't ask to play Ritchie's...
Good hear .. Training . Beign a guitar player too thats help . And vice versa . Im also a singer( and drummer first , but play a bit a guitar too ) and i had better pitch that my guitar players in bending and vibrato .
If only John Sykes hadn't suggested that Whitesnake get another singer when Coverdale was off on the sick with sinus problems... He must have been a simpleton if he thought he'd get away with that.
Some fun memories, as my wife (asst. to Kalodner) and I were back stage and at after bars with these guys, when in town, and I spent a fair amount of time at Keith's Goodnight LA, and produced a few acts at the Record Plant, the worst of which was the morning after the LA riots, where all of Hollywood was a ghost town, and why Vai parked his chopper inside. Time, how she flies...
@@lindahandley5267 IK, R?!Those days were just a blur, Inda. If I wasn't auditioning with Sammy's band (after he left), I was doing background vocals on Lion LP's with Doug Aldrich, or attending backyard dinner parties with Aerosmith at Eddie Rosenblatt's (prez of Geffen Rec.). Now that I'm an older guy, things haven't lightened up much, as I'm acting full time, having recently worked with Harrison Ford, Owen Wilson, Salma Hayek, Post Malone and a Super Bowl commercial. Same blur, different decade! Lol
Mr. Coverdale is a very good guitar player, which should not be a great surprise given that he has played music with John Sykes, Tommy Bolin, and Ritchie Blackmore!
Roberto valiño Probably everyone who watches this clip knows that Mr. Coverdale is a singer; but check 5:39-5:50. Who is playing the guitar there: Mr. Coverdale. Though we all know he is a great singer, I just wanted to show my respect for his bluesy guitar playing, which I think is very good.
Ronni jammes dio is a good lead singer .but sometimes play flute.but he is a very good lead singer (sorry for my english.and sorry for mencioned dio he was dead)
Roberto valiño That's okay. I agree that Ronnie was a great singer too, though I didn't know that he played flute. I like some of the songs he did in Rainbow in particular. R.I.P, R.J.D.
I think they're touring again. I'm trying to see him too! I have to hear him speak live just once and I'll be happy. I just hope they come to the States.
Wow! I wonder what the place in Lake Tahoe is now? Imagine looking at homes and you end up buying the place these guys wrote an album in.......how cool. In the beginning DC,, said he rented it. If you look at the part with them in the bronco, you can see buildings in the background.
so I wondered too, and you will like what i found I believe the bronco scene is a motel parking lot where the band might be staying...the building "behind" them looks like a motel, and it looks exactly like the building they are entering......the Parking lot and the busy road behind them doesnt look like a rock star address on the lake.it looks motelish.... so, I believe Coverdale Bought that "rental" house, because he has owned the same house in Tahoe since 1988,crystal bay,....... and I believe it is the house where they are writing and rehearsing in this video..... here is a full video of David Coverdales house in 2019 www.sacbee.com/news/business/article228879989.html/video-embed
Tommy is pretty straight up. Very in to keeping physically over the top. Don't know if he tried the things that could be had. He needed no enhansement and still squeeky clean.
When they were listening to the tracks in the truck, when I was mixing my first record, I played the tracks on my Pioneer home stereo, little ghetto blaster, the Walkman, and the car stereo just to find out if it sounded good across the board. It did.
no that was Vai to Vandenberg...Adrian had a hand injury and that is why they hired Vai...but he was way more technique than melody ...a mistake really ( for this band)
No doubt Coverdale is a great singer and artist but Ι wonder what happened to his voice after 1985.He could not sing that high notes when he was younger...Huge difference.

I can not beleive this was 33 years ago where on earth has the time gone !!
TLS Sand shit I remember being in Madison Square Garden NY when Whitesnake was Deep purple minus Blackmore. Rough n Ready.
@@SuperMatrix59 I hate it the 70s and 80s are gone !! Those were the last of the great years !!
@ I hear ya . It seems like yesterday I was 23 years old and partying down every day . Now I'm 48 and it still seems like yesterday .
As far as we know, the present day (even in an awful pandemic) is probably better than the alternative, so we should try to make the best of things and enjoy it while we can!
Wish more bands back in the day did this very cool to watch!!!!

I was 9 lol but my mum was a fun
No matter how big and how famous they get, they still will be an under rated band!
To bad the lead singer didn't feel that way
Tommy bringing that iconic Tommy Thunder \m/
Great to see David playing guitar.
STG David Coverdale has the sexiest speaking voice I've EVER heard.
By far the best part of the video is David showing his skills as a guitar-man.
I didn't know Coverdale could play guitar let alone that well. Seems very blued influenced with some jazzy chords. I love seeing the Peavey VTM 60's...Whitesnake is why I bought a VTM60 and a 120 back in the day. And Adrian Vandenberg is why I bought Peavey Nitros (still own 3) and Tracers.
Vandenberg's guitar work from the demos smokes, they should have been used on the album.
🐍 line up: David Coverdale, Tommy Aldrigde,Rudy Sarzo,Adrian Vandenberg And Steve vai 👏👏👏👏
Whitesnake is awesome bands I love their music 🎶
I love this place too! ❤️
Loved White snake back in the day! LOT'S & LOT'S OF GOOD SONGS! Very talented band.
"Oh here we go.. truck full of hair".. Hilarious
David Coverdale was Incredibles voice very underrated rock singer
hes a twat after what he did to SYKES ,hes a prick
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!
Love the sound of , “Slip of the toungue”.
Didn't know you were so proficient on the guitar David! Thanks for this series, it fascinating to watch.
Great hair.
Saw them open for Dio in Seattle, July 1984, 'Last In Line' Tour. Great live band.
Coverdale was quite a good blues player.
I bet he would make an amazing blues album.
We gather in the truck to get to know each other better and see if everyone had showered that day. LMAO
That was a good look, David! The Plaid with the Eyeglasses!
Wow what a voice
hes a back stabbing prick after what he did to SYKES
Love the hook city judgement day demo work. Incredible
Actually,Coverdale can be a narrator for National Geographic...just hear his voice when he speaks...
Jellyfish have survived for over 600 million years without a brain.
A ray of hope for some at the BBC.
And despite the rumors, I did not sleep with all of their wives.
The fine men at the BBC that is, not the jellyfish.

@@Ratsotone He has definitely lost his Redcar accent!
@@Ratsotone it sounds natural imo
I just read the Rudy Sarzo bio, and it's a little weird to see him with Whitesnake now that I know so much about him and his life. He is truly a great human being!!!!
I love this place too! ❤️😘
DC is quite good with the guitar :-) and also with keyboards :-) didn't know that
Es excelente en todo lo que hace!!!!! Un lujo de músico, un gran compositor y el gran cantante.
Es maravillosos poder verlo tocando ya que en vivo no lo hace

Hello Children..please buy my re re re re leases of everything..twice!!!🤣
Vandenberg style fits the Whitesnake style better than Vai's. Although i find Vai a fuckin great guitarist
Unbelievable Stuff !!! Thank you David for sharing them with us !!! God Bless You !!! (michadas here from BBS - if you remember - Our Best Regards from Greece)
Funny how tommy Aldridge looks the same since the mid 70s.
Cuz he's born old already
@Jersy, his place of birth is just about 10 minutes from me. I didn't realize it until after I went to one of their concerts. LOL.
He was born two days before Moses.
Thanks for posting this. Love whitesnake especially Adrian and Texas Tommy! =)
Seems like every time the studio looks like a dump where no one in their right mind would record there, it actually sounds amazing.
''Dear God, That Voice At 10:35 Is Something Else.'' !!
Love you guys
David should go into movie narration
I agree. His speaking voice is beautiful.
Nice collection of Peavy VTM’s. Best amp they ever made.
David is beyond FINE, until this day. I was fortunate enough to get to one of their concerts. Great band and I loved all of the hair! What a voice too. In some songs he sounds a lot like Robert Plant, but a bit deeper.
Covetdale doesn't sound like Plant at all.
@Kiki, okay, that's Your opinion.
@@lindahandley5267 what song does Coverdale sound like Plant?
@Ki, what's your problem? I have My opinion, you have yours, give it a rest. Peace out!
@@lindahandley5267 no one sound like another..."but a bit deeper"...lol

q lindos momentos 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😄
would have been nice to hear whitesnake play burning heart
Love this! never seen this backstage stuff before. DC, how do you scream so in tune?? The best.
Good hear ..
Training .
Beign a guitar player too thats help .
And vice versa .
Im also a singer( and drummer first , but play a bit a guitar too ) and i had better pitch that my guitar players in bending and vibrato .
Its like playing your vibrato singing on guitar .
If only John Sykes hadn't suggested that Whitesnake get another singer when Coverdale was off on the sick with sinus problems...
He must have been a simpleton if he thought he'd get away with that.
@gillan64 OK semantics, it was 1985, 35 years ago and I'm not his medical specialist. The throat problem came later.

@@lindahandley5267 Honestly, Linda, I didn't deserve half of the crazy things I've experienced, but it sure woud make a fun book! :)
@Scott, I would read it for sure! Stay healthy!
Loved this video! All the best!!
I love the blazer
Super !!!
Wish I could meet you guys one day.. cheers.
Love Northwinds to bits.
Another notable feature of Coverdale in addition to all of that hair and charisma has always been his thick North Yorkshire accent.
That accent is hot.
@@mrsx7944 It's very different and more distinctive to my accent. I have a more London accent.
Quite agree.. Van's the man!!
8:41... on the record... Coverdale at the studio is awesome.
I didn't know that Vandenberg wrote most of the guitar parts and Vai came in to just record them for the album.
Could have read the album credits in 1989 noob.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
DC is quite good with the guitar :-)
I get the feeling Tommy's hair is like Tim Currys santa in the santa clause, shave it off and it just comes back again....
Eres más grande que una semana con tres sábados. Grande
10:48 Steve est un excellent riffer :)
This is kinda hilarious. David Coverdale is funny af.
Голос!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
haha, love that analogy.
Mr. Coverdale is a very good guitar player, which should not be a great surprise given that he has played music
with John Sykes, Tommy Bolin, and Ritchie Blackmore!
David coverdale is good lead singer no a guitar player

I was looking forward to seeing Mr Coverdale again in June...thanks, coronavirus.
I think they're touring again. I'm trying to see him too! I have to hear him speak live just once and I'll be happy. I just hope they come to the States.
My friend Michael Mac!!!
The real deal !
🌹👍
coverdale is an exelent guitar player...
Should be. Blackmore, Sykes, Vai, Vandenburg, he's had good company.
@@markrago7217 yet Robert Plant can't play simple E D G A chords, go figure.
@@dickdastardly2560 czcams.com/video/_l5FExhQRK0/video.html are you sure?
Denise Smith Yeah I'm REAL sure.....czcams.com/video/fDvCTJSu8Og/video.html
@@dickdastardly2560 or Ozzy.
what's the song playing at the beginning?
I miss cassettes in trucks. And hair.

so, I believe Coverdale Bought that "rental" house, because he has owned the same house in Tahoe since 1988,crystal bay,....... and I believe it is the house where they are writing and rehearsing in this video..... here is a full video of David Coverdales house in 2019
www.sacbee.com/news/business/article228879989.html/video-embed
At 8:56 is he holding a mic just because it's so comfortable? I think the recording mic is a condenser in front of him.
Maybe he wants to have some live-on-stage feeling in the vocal cabin.
Daniel Höhr That's what I thinkin' too.
Such small waistlines, such a lot of hair....mind you Coverdale still has a pretty good barnet.
Was Judgement Day originally supposed to be Wings of the storm or was he just messing around with the lyrics? 5:23
Tommy is pretty straight up. Very in to keeping physically over the top. Don't know if he tried the things that could be had. He needed no enhansement and still squeeky clean.
Oh my gawd, NORTHWINDS
In my ears, the original demos sounded a lot better than the final outcome. Just stating:)
Steve Vai did an amazing job on this album
VAI made this record Glossy .
Look what it was here .
Vanderburg has the hair but he ain't no Sykes!!!
Since the mid 1980s, the hair and image appeared to be the most important thing in Whitesnake.
@@portcullis5622 I suppose they had to keep up with the other poddle hair bands🤘
what is the song at the begining?
did you find ?
When they were listening to the tracks in the truck, when I was mixing my first record, I played the tracks on my Pioneer home stereo, little ghetto blaster, the Walkman, and the car stereo just to find out if it sounded good across the board. It did.
Does anyone know the song starting around 9:02?
Interesting behind scenes insight..
Not the same without John Sykes who gave them their signature sound and identity.
I always thought that Adrien was just a skin prop to complement Sykes?
no that was Vai to Vandenberg...Adrian had a hand injury and that is why they hired Vai...but he was way more technique than melody ...a mistake really ( for this band)
No doubt Coverdale is a great singer and artist but Ι wonder what happened to his voice after 1985.He could not sing that high notes when he was younger...Huge difference.
He had nasal surgery and it had a side effect of making his voice better. He’s talked about it.
More like Kashmir City.
Coverdale sounds like Matt Berry doing voiceovers. Bit of a UK reference.
Yesss! I was going to make the same comment! Did Matt Berry get his inspiration from David Coverdale?
Which one's Dave Dowle?
Dave dowle left in 1979 .
Look at all that hair!
