- David Coverdale's vocals on "Here I Go Again" were so sultry and smooth, I knew y'all pointed me in the right direction. I still plan on hearing him in Deep Purple and alongside Jimmy Page, but first I wanted to hear one more Whitesnake song from your top recommended!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Whitesnake and David Coverdale performing "Is This Love" for the first time.

Since you've done Is This Love & Here I Go Again. You might as well do In The Still Of The Night
She's got too that's the third part of the trilogy that also mirrors their real life relationship
Yes yes yes 🤘🤘
I upvote this
Gotta round out the trilogy, agreed.
Two ballads down, time to rock!!
Still of the Night is my favorite Whitesnake song. A real rock song, killer guitars, wicked vocals. Please, please, please! ❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼
Don’t forget the stringed instruments and the other orchestration in the song. It’s one of their best songs!
Agreed. Hope that its next. There’s allso a lot of steam in that song😂
The live version 2004, that really shows Davids vocals
And if she does do it. It should be the live version. From their performance at Donninton. David at his very best. And Steve Vai on second guitar. What a line up that was.
The whole concert is on CZcams. And sounds amazing. Their best performance ever. SV's solo was played on his heart guitar. That was something to see live.
To me, Still of the Night his best orchestrated and vocal song. Crying in the Rain (FROM THE SAME ALBUM, there are 2 versions) is another amazing song.
When he sings that line, "...so I can hold you in my arms" is SOOOOOO good. I was deeply in love with a good friend and sometimes lover when this song came out and it really spoke to me then.
You mentioned how effortless he makes those high notes sound. Steve Vai who toured with him a couple of years after this said that every night when they played live David Coverdale could hit all of the notes from the album night after night effortlessly without fatigue.
Elizabeth focused on vocals. Me viewing and re-viewing 20X Tawny sittiing on a suitcase in the hallway in a dress with her high heels up on the wall. I'm a simple man.
RIP Tawny!
Simple men make the world go ‘round. Dave in Omaha
I believe he was married to her as well
The little dance in front of the bed did it for me. So simple yet so sexy.
@@sarahburns870 yes, I think so.
"Don't let someone leave without saying 'I'm sorry'". He's about to sing a whole song about it.
The way the video shows, there are scenes where David is in the background of the scene. Tawny is in front of the screen. I think this is him imagining being in the scene. When the video cuts back, David is no longer in the scene.
He is imagining if he was there, what he might be able to say.
He doesn't say anything - an neither does she. They are not both there at the same time.
My interpretation is that she left when he was on tour / out of the house.
My 2 ¢
"Stiil of the Night" needs to be next. His range and the guitar work is incredible. Plus the coolest violin bow trick ever.
Yeah she will really enjoy that one for sure.
Violin bow trick done long before this song.....
Sykes did not use bow that was for video he was already fired
Definitely!
@@rickyjohnson7426
To me this is the REAL version of the song.
John Sykes - Still of the Night 1995
czcams.com/video/cWn_p0jxGMs/video.html
Let’s give credit to John Sykes on his guitar playing! KILLER playing! And the guy can sing something serious too. His guitar tone on this album is something else. When you get to Thin Lizzy, that’s a duo of Gorham and Moore. Truly legendary in the guitar community. Gary Moore is often considered being among the pantheon of greatest guitar players
John was ROBBED of both credit $ massive amounts of CASH.
Not just Gorham and Moore. Don’t forget Robbo. He was in the band longer than Gary Moore was.
John Sykes is a BETTER singer than DC.
@@bhouse92101 I agree with this completely! I saw a live performance of still of the night when he had Marco Mendoza as his bassist…Sykes sounded WAY better than DC…and he was still playing guitar.
It KILLS me that Sykes gets so overlooked on this album because of the videos! And to hear Elizabeth compare this solo to Slash makes me a little sad. John Sykes was/is just on a whole different level.
I can't believe you didn't know this song! It's an absolute classic. And Coverdale's voice is as dreamy as it gets.
Deep Purple's album Burn just turned 50 last month. David Coverdale first album with the band. The song Burn is a great song to analyse as well.
Agreed
Second song Burn
I definitely would prefer to hear Elizabeth do the earlier stuff- Burn is an ESSENTIAL album. Live at California Jam has Burn, Mistreated and more that show Coverdale's raw power. The post 87 album production just couldn't be sustained live, and sadly his live voice deteriorated badly by 1990ish.
Starkers in Tokyo showed that he still had the low register- Don't Fade Away and Soldier of Fortune are great on that, but his high register elsewhere is often very painful to endure live. Such a shame.
Good Idea. Also it introduced Glenn Hughes as bassist and vocalist next to Coverdale
The California Jam version with Glenn Hughes on vocals as well. Definitive version.
I recommend LOVE AIN'T NO STRANGER from 1984s Slide It In album. Gotta admit it's also my favourite song by Whitesnake. Bluesy ballad with some hard rocking guitar. The lyrical content just tells the story perfectly. Great analysis and reaction Elizabeth. 🎸👍👍🤘🤘
Or Slow An' Easy....very bluesy
I agree. I love this album and especially Slide It In and Slow An' Easy are my favorite songs.
Ah, Slide it In. Great album. Super subtle title, too! 😂
@@matthbva
I was excited, when Cozy Powell joins Whitesnake.
Slide it in , the original version , and not the American version, rules defenitily!
the really don't produce music like this anymore with such a sense of space, tones are so clean, nothing overcompressed and the mix is perfect.
You find the right words so often. "Steamy" is perfect.
David Coverdale has a really great speaking voice too.
David Coverdale's voice is incredible and the era of '80s power ballads were something truly special.
Also, Still of the Night is a must reaction because we would all love to see your thoughts on that song.
Coverdale
100% Still of the night is a banger and the vocal is amazing.
@Apocalypse2031 Who knows?It certainly can be.
@Apocalypse2031
All a matter of opinion, I would say. None of them are extraordinary singers and seem to be at about the same level. Personally, I prefer Coverdale's voice, though. Maybe because the songs are written for his type of voice. Sykes is a bit better singer, though. At least on this song.
Thanks for your analysis. We, hardrock, and metal fans know that our music is high quality. Your recognition and appreciation means a lot to us!
And.....you are in love with David Coverdale 😂😂😂😂
Around 16:00 you made my day by name-checking Thin Lizzy and adding them to your future reactions list. Thin Lizzy is my all-time favourite band and a huge reason why i play guitar. I think you'll enjoy the vocals of Phil Lynott, who always sounded different compared to his contemporaries in Rock/Metal.
That’s Vivian Campbell (Dio, Def Leppard ) playing guitar in the video. John Sykes played on the album.
Adrian Vandenberg is the other guitarist. Loved John Sykes in Blue Murder after he left Whitesnake. Great guitarist.
Not a fan of Viv in Def Leppard but he is following the brilliant Steve Clark, which is impossible to do. Steve had magic and even Viv admits that he cannot replicate Steve’s musicianship.
@@karenglenn6707 I’ve seen them live with both guitarists (87 and 2015) I dig Vivian’s heavier “metal” tone, I always have. Especially his work on the first two Dio albums.
Sykes is brilliant. Also great singer himself.
@@karenglenn6707 Everybody says Phil Collin made Leppard's current sound but I've always found him an arrogant ahole. Clark had way more groove and I've read comments from Collin disparaging Clark. Viv wasted his talent being second fiddle to Collin.
Still of the Night!!! Please and Thank you 🙏
Such a kick to see Elizabeth react to the stuff we grew up on. 89's rock was mainly let's have fun
One of my favorite songs ever, the solo is perfect
STILL OF THE NIGHT!!! LETS GO!
You should get David on for an interview, like you did with Christina Scabbia. He's a bit older now - in his early 70's - but still one hell of a showman and he interviews really well. :)
John Sykes absolutely killed it on this album. Not only did he have killer chops as far as playing, but his tone was crazy. I'm sure his guitars were double, probably triple tracked to create the sound of the solo on this song, but damn it sounds good.
Definitely have to do "Still of the Night" next, but for more David Coverdale you can also look beyond Whitesnake. An underrated song you should check out is "Stormbringer" from when he was in Deep Purple
Still of the night is a must listen too Elizabeth
Crying in the Rain really showcases his range!
The original Crying in the rain, is the real version to listen to
UP
And another killer Sykes riff!
@phantomf4747 Sykes? Are you really sure? SYKES, was nowhere to be seen when Saints and Sinners was released in 82.
@@colrhodes377 Yes, all but 3 of the songs on that album were Sykes, the others were Campbell. Vandenberg was added for the tour and became permanent.
Wow, Elizabeth you are taking analysis to a new and refreshing level!
This was one of three or four albums on constant repeat driving to/from high school in the late 80s; listening to it now still brings back the feeling of that after school freedom of driving home with the windows down and the music blasting. Thanks for the trip down memory lane with the windows down!
It's gotta be Whitesnake's epic "Still of the Night" next...... PLEASE???? lol
I agree but she’ll need to review that one while in a cold shower…that’s the “steamiest” of all their songs
Slow n Easy 💯🔥
I thought she already did still of the night?
Slip of the tongue man
@charlesloddo4367 that's a great album
For White Snake…you must hear Still of the Night or Take Me Down Slow and Easy…
From dancing Vikings to cotton candy to thin mitts, oh my! Love it! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
This was a huge hit on mtv coverdale is a legend Still of the night is a must
Coverdale at his finest , Tawny Kitaen at her hottest . What more do you need ? A review of " Still of the night " that's what !
RIP Tawny. A beautiful woman. She was in one of my favorite movies in the mid 80s.
Still of the Night and Crying in the Rain are fantastic songs. Judgement Day is a killer song too. Coverdale is easily one of my favorite all time vocalists
I will NEVER get tired of the song and/or video
This is off the Whitesnake album, I saw that tour in 87, Great White opened the show. It was an awesome hard rocking show. I love my 80's era hard rock and metal.
Hi Elizabeth.. STILL OF THE NIGHT got over 3000 Thumbs UP on the last reaction. its one of their best rockin songs and it really showcases his voice. Im surprised u chose this song over it. I hope youll react to it at some point
Still of the night please!!!!! You’ll get everything Coverdale has to offer!
Wooow! Great song! Thanks for sharing with us....greatings from Spain
"You should say you're sorry!" and then the face 😂 loved it!!
Still of the Night 🤘✌😎
You should definitely do in the still of the night. It is the heaviest song on that album. David screams his heart out. I also suggest the deeper the love on the next album, it is more in the same light as this song.
Please rather something not on 1987 album. Best on that album are the inferior versions of previous songs
Only my soul would be a great song to react
His high scream is otherworldly on Still of the Night
@@bryangirod9173 Yes, like She's A Woman on Ready And Willing (1980), and other stuff.
I’m a lesbian and David Coverdale makes ME swoon!! 😂 Whitesnake- one of my all-time favourite bands. Saw them live year before last and even though he struggles with his vocals nowadays, still such a charismatic man and the emotions are real. What a band!
My absolute favorite Whitesnake song! Thanks for giving it a listen. Takes me back to my teenage self. Now you need to do Still Of The Night!
STILL OF THE NIGHT!! ❤
Need to check out David Coverdale with Deep Purple. Songs like "Soldier of Fortune", "Stormbringer", "Burn", "Sail Away" and of course "Mistreated" (in which you know from the Rainbow Cover".
Or....Shut up and kiss me!
100% Burn!
Still of the Night is a MUST! Lots of fantastic vocals. Hands down, my favorite WS song.
He is just as amazing live
Still of the night has to be done, give me all your love, the deeper the love, the best song to show his voice is looking for love it's in my top five of whitesnake songs
One of my favourite voices ever. I love Coverdale's voice. I LOVE IT! GREAT REACTION, ELIZABETH!
The HYMN OF LOVE!!! This song represents the true power of love...
And the way David sings it makes this song be one of my favourites
This song saved my life when i was down... David is an incredible singer 🙏😁
As a teenager in the 80's, I definitely remember this video, and the song being played a lot on the radio.
Yes, and it seemed like MTV played it every ten minutes
I think us guys all fell in love with Tawny back then...
I remember dancing with my girlfriend at a homecoming dance to this song.
We've been married for 33 years now. Still listen to it on "special" nights. 😉
@@jonahhex8178 I hope both of you are doing well.
I'm not sure I'd have paid any attention to David Coverdale if not for Tawny Kitaen, and her mostly from Bachelor Party. Marketing seemed more organic then.
I love this song. I remember listening to this song in the car all the time while my pops was taking me to school. And now I play it while a take my son to school. Gotta keep these classic ballads alive!!!
Cryin in the rain is the best WS song imo ...version from this 1987 album
Another on of my favorites!! Ty!
Soldier of Fortune! One of the best rock ballads ever. Later live recordings of it are magnificently sensible. Also try Forevermore and Mistreated. Don't Fade Away is also incredible.
Bucket of water thrown over Elizabeth during this one - cool down 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I know that's right! LOL
@@keithjoye2114 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Singing/dancing vickings!!! Yes!! Please!!! 😂😂😂😂🎉
Kirk is playing dress ups tonight. Grrr.
You've got to understand that this song was THE rock ballad of the late eighties. Right there with Heart's Alone, Leppard's Love Bites, Bon Jovi's Never Say Goodbye and Poison's Every Rose has its Thorn.
So now that you've done Here I go Again and Is This Love - both featuring the lovely and much missed Tawny Kitaen - you have to complete the trio in this story with Still of the Night. Entirely different vibe and the last great rock epic imho...
you got to understand that this is crap, one of the most appalling business operations in rock history alongside the stupid Monkees thing...
When Coverdale thought " yeah, I'm going to get rid of the ugly ones and the blues rock foundation, I'm gonna hire gorgeous guys, make crap AOR, spend too much money on hairspray and be rich"
I suppose it went well for David pockets
@@JulioLeonFandinho _Thank HEAVENS!_ I was just about to NUKE from orbit - puking my way through all the cringe comments.
I blame the producers for that shit too. Van Hagar, Plant's solo efforts and even AC/DC without Bon - all banal TRASH!
@@dancarter482, well, since Bon Scott DIED, I am not sure what you wanted AC/DC to do there. Wtf, dude?
I wholeheartedly agree with you that Thin Mints are the best!
Another great video of an amazing band.
Thanks.
Excellent song, even better reaction video!
Still of the night!!!!!!
You need to react to Still of the Night.
One of the more entertaining reviews for sure.......Awesome job
Your so funny in a great way. Thanks for all the great videos.
The Deeper The Love is one of my favourite Whitesnake tracks. Great example of David's powerful vocals too. Would recommend.
That song is just as good as this one, but never given the same appreciation.
@@chrisoakley5830agreed.
@@chrisoakley5830agreed. My fave from the Vai albums.
Still of the night I hope is next because it completes their "story". Badass video and a badass song. I think you will love it, truly amazing 🤘💙
ah yes one of my favorite songs!
FINALLY you did it!
One of my favorite 80s guitar solos… What an amazing guitar tone.
Nice to see David Coverdale again.Please do Mistreated or Burn (make that and) from Cal Jam in 1974 when he was with Deep Purple.As for Whitesnake,please do one or more of Slow An' Easy,Love Ain't No Stranger,or Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City.Thank you.I noticed you mentioned doing Thin Lizzy.Yes,please!Almost anything from Live And Dangerous,especially I'm Still In Love With You.
80's rock ballads were awesome.
Loving ❤this one!
First heard David coverdale in the early 80s and he blew me away. Rock / blues legend.
I agree with the previous speakers.
“Still of the Night” is my absolute favorite Whitesnake song.
Yes, it is not your typical ballad. It's one of those songs that has something epic about it. Greetings from Franconia :)
oh Elizabeth, it might blow your mind a little, but look up the Deep Purple family tree........ so many connections to so many legends
Still of the Night is my favorite from Whitesnake. Lots of energy and the vocals are awesome. Please do this one at some point as well.
Another awesome Brit 👍🇬🇧
Ugh, I'm just dying to see you do Still of the Night! It has EVERYTHING - Insane vocals and that EPIC guitar solo!! This is VERY tame compared to that must-hear classic! 🤘😝🤘
Maybe something with Deep Purple.
Still of the Night with Whitesnake, Burn with Deep Purple & several of the songs off the Coverdale/Page collaboration album.
Elizabeth check out Blue Murder, Valley of the Kings.... short lived band fronted by John Sykes who was the guitar player for Whitesnake for a time... helluva voice!
I agree on that!
Jelly Roll too!
Always smiled that it took 2 guitarists to replace John Sykes. 😅
@@RichardCirerol Yeah and Vandenberg wasn't such a great guitarist. 😁
I saw Blue Murder open for Bon Jovi in 1989 and their sound for that show was so bad and over amplified that you could not understand the lyrics. I rank that as the worst performance I have seen live, and I saw Vanilla Ice perform twice, the second time in his mid-90's metal phase on accident at a bar I just happened to be going to! 🤣
Love Still of the Night. Great Rock song. Also Summer Rain and Good to be Bad. Showcases how his voice has aged very well.
That's a beautiful song that the 80s produced. Thank you, David Coverdale ! 👌✌️👊👍♥️
Yay, promise to come to Thin Lizzy - I love that!
All credit must be given to the co authour and the guitar player of this song - *John Sykes*
Such a talented songwriter, singer , performer and a jaw dropping guitarist.🤘🤘🤘
John get so little credit for the sound of this Album such a great guitarist for sure.
Not only is he a great guitarist, but his vocals are excellent, too. He really lets it shine with his post-Whitesnake band Blue Murder.
@@Easy_Skanking 💯 🤘🔥
@Easy_Skanking agreed he's also a great vocalist. Been trying to find that blue murder album on vinyl
My dads favourite band. Love this song. And you are so right. We need male singers like this about now.
Always loved the vibe of this song! This also has one of the best guitar solos of the 80s - it’s like a well-told story!
Interestingly Elizabeth that song was originally written with Tina Turner in mind, and when David was working on it, the then bans guitarist John Sykes came in and picked his Paul up and started playing along with the lovely chords underneath and they decided to keep it for the 1987 album, looking forward to the vid
I had read that the record label, after hearing it, thought it could be a big Whitesnake hit and then asked that he not pass it along to Tina Turner, but record it for the Whitesnake album instead.
I've heard Coverdale himself say it was written for Tina, but when it was done, he didn't want to give it up. I would absolutely love to have been able to hear a Tina version of it.
Same here. It's definitely a Whitesnake classic. Tina did some covers, but I don't think she would have touched it after it was such a big hit for them, especially since they were a hard rock band. But I wish she had!
It’s time for Still of the Night! You’ve landed solidly in my high school wheelhouse.
And I love this song. Love the video…..
She was a very beautiful woman R.I.P
This is one of the best-sounding, quintessential 80's songs. I should know, I was there. 😂 Man, we had the best music!
We sure did!!
You should definitely do in the still of the night. It is the heaviest song on that album. David screams his heart out. I also suggest the deeper the love on the next album, it is more in the same light as this song. Coverdale is my idol as far as rock singers go.
Elisabeth, you have a killer instinct in sensing subtleties and patterns that I find mind-blowing. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
Really inspiring when you provide extra context info e.g. that John Sykes was with Thin Lizzy .... IMHO (and lover of many Thin Lizzy songs) "HOLY WAR" stands out even above "The boys are back" because of the incredible (harmonised) guitar lines and solos, plus the pulsating groove (if that's even a word in the English language) .... but you get the gist .... Holy war is a full on Thin Lizzy song.
David Coverdale is just made to sing that way! Watch him in the butterfly ball, 1974. Every time he opens his mouth it's GOLD.
Still of the night!!!!
I saw Whitesnake live in Oulu Finland, over 10 years ago. David still had his amazing voice, and he had a good connection with audience. Elisabeth don’t be sorry for your reactions, David has that impact on people😅 This was fun to watch, thank you. Next Still of the Night, you gona love it.
Your videos are lovely dear keep up the awesome work. Good stuff.
Love Whitesnake!!
So, I just thumbs upped every Still of the Night comment & need to throw in another vote for "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" for some early Whitesnake.
Definitely
Great tune bro
Forget the most recommended Coverdale songs, go into his pre 85 back catalogue. That is where you will find his best work. The two solo albums after leaving Deep Purple are magnificent
Agree. North Winds is excellent and early Whitesnake is far better than the USA focussed stuff.
"This is a total aside!" You're hilarious. This is one of your freer analyses yet! Viiking lover!
🎉This is my song though🎉 ugh i love this and i loved your reaction ive never heard anything as great a description as"sexy singing vikings" its perfect somehow now i cant not see it and its my new favorite thing
