Thin_Lizzy Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Original was much better. Whitesnake were a really good band with Micky Moodie and Bernie Marsden on guitar. A proper blues/rock band. Then Moodie/Marsden left and Whitesnake turned into a hairspray rock ballad band :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ok, I'm a Child of the 80's so...... I don't think Whitesnake really found itself 'till John Sykes started writing riffs, then They really their potential with Adrian Vandengerg and Vivian Campbell. The stuff with Moody and Marsen sounded too much like all the rest of the 70's rock of the day. Less inspiring than UFO or Rainbow, definitely not up to Purple snuff. Personally I believe their best Line Up is Doug Aldrich and Reb Beah on guitar and Tommy Aldridge on drums. Their early stuff is still good, but the best was yet to come.

NeoConMan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm a big John Sykes fan myself. Whitesnake had already proven themselves as an excellent Blues/Rock band well before Vai showed up. Slide It In was the last album I really liked. By the time the hairspray/synthesizer era of Is This Love/Here I Go Again began I was done with them. Fool For Your Loving was a good tune, but by then I was sick of Spandex and Floyd Rose trems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was sick of Spandex and Speed Chops as soon as it hit the scene, they were the only "Hair Band" I really liked. I was a little Blues Snob back then, so it took a lot for me to even acknowledge a new band, let alone buy their stuff. Something about Whitesnake, even the synth pop stuff, struck me as genuine. I don't think hair would have gotten that big if it weren't for Coverdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverbursted Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I was sick of Spandex and Floyd Rose trems. Understandably true, but the other popular music of the time had the likes of the BeeGees. Barf, I'd rather have the hairspray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
