- Bernie's memoir - 'Where's My Guitar?' - is just out in paperback and this highly entertaining encounter with the old rock and roll trouper features his early bands (Clockwork Mousetrap, Skinny Cat), Cream and Fleetwood Mac at Dunstable's California Ballroom, auditioning for Renaissance and East Of Eden (then turning the job down), 'secret police' on the Wild Turkey tour, thumping Phil Mogg, Mickie Most's butler and Rolls Royce car phone, sessions for Hot Chocolate, the Spinal Tap moment of Whitesnake's Lovehunter sleeve, the extraordinary tale of his co-writing Here I Go Again and the perils of trying to prise Tony "Dear Boy" Ashton out of a pub.

RIP Bernie Keep Rocking Up There
I can vividly remember seeing the early Bernie Marsden & Micky Moody incarnation of Whitesnake a few times at the old Hammersmith Odeon, including for the recording of 'Live in the heart of the city'. Great gigs & great live band too.
I was lucky enough to meet Bernie once and he is a lovely bloke. Could listen to him all night telling his funny stories. And he has so many stories to tell.
Excellent interview.Bernie is a cool Guy.
Excellent. When he was in Whitesnake they were good. When he wasn’t they were shit.
I listen to all these different interviews Bernie does. I've heard the same stories over again and it never bores me. A guitar legend and absolute gent.
Excellent book from an excellent guitarist and not too shabby vocalist either.
Fantastic episode of my favourite podcast
Vividly remember recording the PAL ‘sight & sound in concert’ gig on a cheap cassette recorder with the microphone up against the TV speaker when it was first shown; treasured that cassette for many years. Such a shame it was a short-lived band
A cracking guest and a lovely man too. Buy that book and give him another hit.
It's a great book and as someone who was brought up in the Bucks area Bernie was, and is, a musical hero.
Had Bernie's solo song called Sad Clown on a favourite mix cassette - one of my favourites. Thanks Bernie!!
Just finished it great read couldn’t put it down, waiting 6 months for it arrive from UK…
Super show , book ordered. Spookily Tawny Kitaen, she who loved to drape herself across Jags in the “Here I Go Again” vid has just dropped dead at 59😱
For a second, I thought to myself “wow, Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats must be struggling to get an appointment at the barbers!”
That 'first Strat in the UK' actually belonged to Cliff. There's a clip of him on here from not that long ago setting the record straight on that one...
I heard that Hank wanted what James Burton played. They assumed that he played a Strat, because it was the most expensive, rather than the Telecaster that he actually played.
scary coincidence - watching this and just as they talk about "here we go again' I read that Tawny Kitean (the girl in the video and ex-Mrs Coverdale) has died
Greatly looking forward to reading Bernie's book. What a smashing bloke and a wonderful guitar player. Whitesnake were never the same band without him.
Great fun ‘Chaps’ The original Whitesnake were so cool unlike what follows oops.Long may Bernie perform :)
You lot know Needsy?
