Tommy Aldridge, well into his 50s when this was was filmed, drumming his ASS off just like he must have done aged 19. NEVER lose the hunger and passion for what you love to do =)
Yet another amazing John Sykes song. To Whitesnake newcomers: almost all the guitars in the 1987 Whitesnake album were performed by John Sykes, one of the Top 5 heavy rock guitarists of all time.
I love this lineup of Whitesnake but no one can play Bad Boys like John Sykes -- he wrote it and recorded it. John just has that powerful "ooomfff" to his tone.
Wow thats one hell of a line up Coverdale put together. All around masters of their instruments. And the sound shows, best sounding live show ive seen.
@@chrisstone5138The fuck are talking about? Sykes fans seem to think he played rhythm guitar at the same time as lead. You've probably never touched a guitar.
Back when bands put on outstanding stadium gigs worth the money. They're all f**king brilliant, but Doug's the only guitarist anywhere near the great John Sykes; who, by the way, is criminally under-appreciated.
The best version from their best concert, Live in the Still Of The Night London 2004, yes it's John Sykes and David Coverdale song, but this is my opinion and this concert is untouchable, end of
I would love to see a reunion with John Sykes. I don't care what happened in the past. It can't be bigger than this great moment at Whitesnake's history. No egos.. Just fun and good music.
Coverdale asked him in the early 2000s before he put this lineup together but Sykes wanted 50% of the money! His ego is out of control which is why he can’t work with anyone or release anything. Real shame.
There is no way I could have done it better Whitesnake David Coverdale rock and roll stamp baby rock and roll the most underrated band in the world you guys rock it right
This is metal! This IS ROCK! First band I ever saw, they "opened" for Motley Crue on the self titled album. OMG that show almost klilled me! Sound for days and days in my head. Loud, brutal rock!
hi - i directed the dvd. yes you can buy it on amazon ! it was recorded in Hammersmith, London only a couple of years ago. and though i say so myself - its rather good!!
Totally agree with Manaloja. I had the pleasure of seeing this lineup up close in 2005 and was completely blown away at their energy and tightness. Aldridge went into a killer drum solo in the middle of "Crying in the Rain" (I believe), at one point throwing away his sticks and pounding on the set with his bare hands! Friggin awesome!
@@inddarbarreto1746 Actually Doug's technique is the most ergonomically correct way of playing there is, he uses the so-called "thumb behind the neck" fretting hand technique where it's placed very low and not wrapped around it 😉 It originates from classical guitarists and feels looser on your hands and your fingers are standing straight onto the strings. Not many people do it, but it's actually how it is 'supposed' to be funnily enough 😜
This is John Sykes's song and he really knows how to play it live on stage...he gets the beast mode on and sings damn good at the same time...a monster!
I agree, one of the best. Also, it was not Zakk Wylde that originated that large pinch harmonic bend/squeal, John is the original of that technique that thousands of metal and rock players incorporate in their sound -- and he also plays a Les Paul.
Nah it definitely started before then. I remember reading an interview with Ian Paice and he said the funniest moment when he was in Whitesnake was when one of Moody/Marsden came up to him just cracking up in the middle of a song because DC acting like Mr Sex Machine and using the mic-stand like it was his extended member, stroking it and what-not, yet the first 10-15 rows were nothing but young guys.
Aldritch and Beach actually play the riffs correctly, something Vandenburg, Vai, Martini, and whoever else haven't been able to do since Sykes. If you watch at some of those other attempts, you'll laugh your ass off. The riff isn't THAT difficult (though yes its a killer riff)
Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich had the best chemistry by a LONG shot. Vai and Vandenberg in the 1988 Donington Show proved that despite both their unique levels of super talent in very different areas of the guitar they could not play in sync with one another whatsoever.
Bom demaaaaaaais. O caras mandam super bem. Isso é que é música de verdade. Infelizmente nosso país colocam nas paradas de sucessos tais como Lepo Lepo e lixos desse tipo. Ainda bem que temos o conhecimento do que é músicas de verdade.
And Doug Aldrich. Both are badass shred monsters. Marco Mendoza on bass and the one and only Tommy Aldridge on lead drums.☺ Not sure who the keyboardist is...
@Xiolablu3 I was at that gig standing right in front of Coverdale. In fact, you can see me in the this vid. I can tell you - there's no overdubs on this DVD. Coverdale was awesome at this gig - I was really amazed.
i personally like 1987 more (where the song bad boys is from :D ) i'm only 16 years old but listenin to 80's heavy metal and hard rock since i was a baby...grew up with that...and really nothin can ever top whitesnake :D
Hats off to Doug Aldritch for doing this song justice by reproducing what Sykes created accurately. The tone, riff, solo, everything sounds great!
No doubt. Fantastic playing here. Simply fantastic playing.
Nothing like Sykes!
Absolutely, one of my favourite players… Rebs solo was perfect too. Great performance
@@scottpolasek3770calm down boomer bitch
I am glad of all the love John Sykes is getting here, way overdue
Tommy Aldridge, well into his 50s when this was was filmed, drumming his ASS off just like he must have done aged 19. NEVER lose the hunger and passion for what you love to do =)
Tommy Aldridge just killing it!!👍👍👍🙌
he still does
As usual.
Yet another amazing John Sykes song. To Whitesnake newcomers: almost all the guitars in the 1987 Whitesnake album were performed by John Sykes, one of the Top 5 heavy rock guitarists of all time.
Sykes was the man , as much as I love Aldrich and Reb beach
As a genius as Michael Schenker.
If Sykes can't be there, Aldrich is one hell of a substitute. This is easily one of the best concert dvds I've seen.
Come on, mate! This IS the undisputed greatest one, probably followed by ACDC live in River Plate Stadium in Argentina.
Aldrich Is my Fav Guitar player he's nuts
Easily
I love this lineup of Whitesnake but no one can play Bad Boys like John Sykes -- he wrote it and recorded it. John just has that powerful "ooomfff" to his tone.
czcams.com/video/G6aEFz09rxQ/video.html
to prove your point
JS was the man
Nothing like Sykes at all bro
Exactly. John Sykes is the Mastermind of this song
TOMMMMMMMYYYYY ALLLLLLLDRRRRRIIIIDDDGGGE !!!!
flashy5150 phenomenal!!
You know it. The main drummer that I would dream to even jam one song with. Cheers
Legend 👍🔥🥁
4:26 working that double bass like a boss
Try to work out a bit myself so I will not be a lazy fucker near to 50. But damn, Aldridge he is superman. He never get old
Doug Aldrich
Yes
He is
Seeee imagínate que fue violero de Dio🎸
Yes, that indeed is, Doug Aldrich.

I still rate 1987 as the best heavy metal album of the 80's supremely heavy, awesome solos, catchy hooks amazing musicianship it's got it all.
Wow thats one hell of a line up Coverdale put together. All around masters of their instruments. And the sound shows, best sounding live show ive seen.
Una de las canciones en vivo más potentes de principio a fin. Esto es ROCK.
Excellent performance, especially by Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach 😀👍🎸 !
Yep, they ALMOST manage to cover between them what John Sykes can do alone 😏
@@chrisstone5138The fuck are talking about? Sykes fans seem to think he played rhythm guitar at the same time as lead. You've probably never touched a guitar.
It´s so nice to see David so proud of his choices for the band - Doug Aldritch, specially - and he´s damn right to feel that way.
Back when bands put on outstanding stadium gigs worth the money. They're all f**king brilliant, but Doug's the only guitarist anywhere near the great John Sykes; who, by the way, is criminally under-appreciated.
There is the song that will never get old!
The ageless Tommy Aldridge. The man is simply a machine back there on drums.
Please bless them. I'm a foreigner, but I've never heard a metal song that captivates me in such the good way!
the extra solo was really awesome!
Reb Beach is a monster. His solo is second to noone!
Fuck man, Doug's guitar sounds so gooood. The best hard rock guitar player on the planet, IMHO.
Hello, planet Earth! This is what good rock and roll music sounds like! You're welcome!
one of the best live performances out there
The best version from their best concert, Live in the Still Of The Night London 2004, yes it's John Sykes and David Coverdale song, but this is my opinion and this concert is untouchable, end of
John Sykes should also be given props for this song.
Someone knows about John sykes was fired After récord 1987 ?
Agree,I don’t believe shit that a singer can write songs
@@consultoresdeaventurascham3493 Coverdale fired the whole band who did record the whole 87 album
💥 How Can You Not Love That 🎸 Best Live Performance 💥
I would love to see a reunion with John Sykes. I don't care what happened in the past. It can't be bigger than this great moment at Whitesnake's history. No egos.. Just fun and good music.

incredible performance, just so damn impressive
This is metal! This IS ROCK! First band I ever saw, they "opened" for Motley Crue on the self titled album. OMG that show almost klilled me! Sound for days and days in my head. Loud, brutal rock!
David Coverdale is one of the last Rock's Gods....
Yes... this is ROCK!
hi - i directed the dvd. yes you can buy it on amazon ! it was recorded in Hammersmith, London only a couple of years ago. and though i say so myself - its rather good!!
it doesn't get much better than this!!!!
I was at this show, amazing memories...

How on Earth does Doug play like that with that Les Paul hanging so low?!?
I ask myself the same, it's impossible! In theory his technique is so wrong but just look at him, he is a fucking monster!
@@inddarbarreto1746 Actually Doug's technique is the most ergonomically correct way of playing there is, he uses the so-called "thumb behind the neck" fretting hand technique where it's placed very low and not wrapped around it 😉 It originates from classical guitarists and feels looser on your hands and your fingers are standing straight onto the strings.

2024 and this still KICKS AS*
One of the 3 Great whitesnake Songs.
The other two being crying in the rain and in the still of the night ?
That Groove 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow very cool opening🎸🤩🤘
Doug guitar Greatest🎸✨✨✨✨✨
Tommy Aldridge is the best fucking drummer ever! \m/
beside Cozy Powell 😁🤘
my favourite drummer he is a beast
BEST!... HARD ROCK!... BAND!... EVER!...
I saw Doug and Marco at a small Festival in Germany. Both signed my first electric guitar. They were so cool!!!
how come i never paid closer attention to whitesnake before, this is fantastic
Whitesnake 87 was the second album I bought in MC format after Black Sabbath's 'Ethernal Idol'. That record I can't stop listening in 30 years.
this is from the dvd
live, in the still of the night
it kicks ass!!!
oh man so excellent! Im turning this right up....what a band....
AMAZING LINE UP!!!!!
These guys are great live.
I saw them at the Florida Theater a couple years ago and they were amazing.
This is John Sykes's song and he really knows how to play it live on stage...he gets the beast mode on and sings damn good at the same time...a monster!
hey hey hey... DOUG ALDRIDGE!!!!! RESPECT
Aldridge is a good guitarist, but he's not Sykes at all,sorry !
dagmar977 but Aldrich and Beach still kicked ass as far as I'm concerned.
+Keith Rushmore
Yup Black Magic is as easy as it get yet simply SUBLIME! Guy is nothing to look down upon. Real genius.
I agree, one of the best. Also, it was not Zakk Wylde that originated that large pinch harmonic bend/squeal, John is the original of that technique that thousands of metal and rock players incorporate in their sound -- and he also plays a Les Paul.
Amazing Band !!! Great Song !!!
it is, its called live in the still of the night!
it rocks!!!
They still got it no doubt about it!
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
Soundtrack of every true rocker's life! :D
The kings of Hard Rock!!!
This is sooooo goooood!!!!!!
tommy aldridge at his best...BAD BOYS one of the best hardvrock songs ever... agree metal menacics.....
Thanks for posting this!
All i can say is John Skyes
+Dick Hayens You could say Sykes too, it's a nice word.
Me too...John Sykes ...and that's all...
Just be great to see JS live with these songs , reb beach is a beast as is Doug .... but just saying
Nice to see Reb taking a solo. He rocks!
Amazing Band !!! Great Sony !!!
this is incredibly good!
Doug and Reb killing it, hope they keep it up with Dino
Killer guitars, killer song....saw them 20 years ago and wish they were touring like a lot of the "my era" bands are again.....
Featuring Aldrich and Beach... Fucking awesome !
2:07 Ahh pre 2010. What a different time you were.
Doug u are the master!!!!
That was awesome. Dang.
Nah it definitely started before then. I remember reading an interview with Ian Paice and he said the funniest moment when he was in Whitesnake was when one of Moody/Marsden came up to him just cracking up in the middle of a song because DC acting like Mr Sex Machine and using the mic-stand like it was his extended member, stroking it and what-not, yet the first 10-15 rows were nothing but young guys.
that brings back memories...BLOOODY ACE
What I would not give to see Whitesnake live, with David, Tommy on drums and John Sykes/Vandenburg guitars.
Paul Edwards don't forget Rudy Sarzo!
Aldritch and Beach actually play the riffs correctly, something Vandenburg, Vai, Martini, and whoever else haven't been able to do since Sykes. If you watch at some of those other attempts, you'll laugh your ass off. The riff isn't THAT difficult (though yes its a killer riff)
Mattowarrior777 easy, straight forward riff. Key is to play quarter notes instead half notes on the low E(tremolo pick)
I thought Warren did a good job. But most of the others just couldn't capture the energy.
Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich had the best chemistry by a LONG shot. Vai and Vandenberg in the 1988 Donington Show proved that despite both their unique levels of super talent in very different areas of the guitar they could not play in sync with one another whatsoever.
This is it, the best!
always enjoyed a Whitesnake show. Never a sausage fest!
~~~Love, Love, Love!!~~~~
SUPER
Now here we go baby. BAD BOY running wild on the town tonight! Until the break of dawn.
Coolest riff ever
i was there and i was most certainly danicng till the break of day! \m/
In my heart and in my soul FOREVER
who is that bassist???I have seen hin play with DIO/THIN LIZZY AND NOW COVERDALE?????WOW!!!!
Marco Mendoza
This line up is easily my favorite Whitesnake line-up. A close second is the Aldrich, Campbell, Sarzo, Vandenberg..
second best line up..... best Lord Powell Bernie and co. 🤘😁
When did Aldrich, Campbell, Sarzo, and Vandenberg play in WS together?
Awesome 👍 Kick Ass Tune
Bom demaaaaaaais. O caras mandam super bem. Isso é que é música de verdade. Infelizmente nosso país colocam nas paradas de sucessos tais como Lepo Lepo e lixos desse tipo. Ainda bem que temos o conhecimento do que é músicas de verdade.
Great solo. Emotional. Pulled it off big time.
is that Reb beach from winger upp there
Yeh man.
And Doug Aldrich.
Both are badass shred monsters.
Marco Mendoza on bass and the one and only Tommy Aldridge on lead drums.☺
Not sure who the keyboardist is...
One of my favorite live whitesnake takes that ive seen
i love
oh got!
The best version.
Remembering my youth while haring that.
Is it me or is Forevermore one the best Whitesnakes album ever?
Doug and Reb forever!!!!
jipak93 in my opinion best guitarists that have fit in whitesnake since sykes.
Dudes, Tommy is literally (I know, Peart) GOAT....He has not missed a beat....WOW
パワフル✨👍💞
bad bad boys!!!
Love Whitesnake , Love London....
BAD BOY
Two fantastic guitarists , but I’d love to see JS play these songs aswell ..
There is a JS live version of 'Bad Boys' here on YT as well.
@Xiolablu3 I was at that gig standing right in front of Coverdale. In fact, you can see me in the this vid. I can tell you - there's no overdubs on this DVD. Coverdale was awesome at this gig - I was really amazed.
