FULL DISCLOSURE AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN A BLACK HOUSEHOLD I WAS A CLOSET HEADBANGER BACK IN THE LATE 80'S. I HAD TO HIDE THIS FROM ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALL THE TIME. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVED HIP HOP& R&B, BUT I ALSO LOVE HAIR METAL. I COULD'NT SHARE MY SECRET WITH ANYONE. I WOULD WAIT UNTIL EVERYBODY WENT SLEEP LATE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN I WOULD WATCH HEADBANGERS BALL ON MTV WITH THE VOLUME TURNED DOWN. THIS SONG WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. SADLY I HAD TO HIDE WHO I WAS. A BLACK KID WHO LOVED HEAVY METAL. WHAT CAN I SAY, I WAS A WEIRD BOY.
I wouldn't say weird at all. You love music. I mean shit look at me. I'm a white dude and I listen to Eric b and rakim, big daddy Kane, boogie down productions, public enemy, ice t. All the old school rap is fuckin awesome. After snoop came out, I listen to him, but I can't listen to new rap. They honestly don't know how to. Shit I don't even like Eminem.
Hey Kevin, if it's any consolation, it was the same story on the other side of the tracks! A lot of white kids and metalheads with "closet" appreciation for rap, hip-hop, R&B, and whatever else was out there. Hell, even among the white kids, there was some serious clique shit going on - metalheads (or headbangers, as they were called then) versus the preppies (the mainstream "pop" crowd), and they were the two main "rivaling tribes" (or so they were in my little world), and if anyone DARED like anything else (country, classical, etc) it was simply unspoken lest ye be shunned and shamed. What a messed up mindset, so much wasted time and unnecessary shame for liking all kinds of music which could have only brought a lot of people together sooner. I was that dorky kid who was dismissed as a "wannabe" metalhead - I liked the music and the style, but I just was not "cool enough" to be officially welcomed into the fold of that crowd, and certainly not trendy enough to be accepted by the "preppy" crowd... so I sat on the outer fringes of both... and that might have been the best thing cos by not being completely immersed in just the one genre or clique, I was able to explore other genres of music (and retain those I was exposed to as a child courtesy of the parents, which was country, lol). There is no bad music except the commercialized crap they make today, lol.
WHITESNAKE'S, "IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT". ONE OF THE MOST KICK ASS SONG THAT CAME ON THE JUKEBOX.....DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE BY THEM....DAVID COVERDALE AND HIS SCREAMS...NICE 🤩✌
Yes it is. And I did get the opportunity to Fuck my neighbor to this song. She was a total milf and she had just gotten divorced too. So that was one amazing night.
had a smile on meh face at the start. You're reaction was spectacular !!! Yes...back in the mid 80's i was in high school and this white boy got some with this band ...big hair gals were a thing too !!!!! Don't let anyone lie to you. Heavy Metal hair bands in the 80s were about Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll. In that order. TRUTH !!!!
more like led zeppelin 1 and 2 robert plant. Plant had moved on with different styles from led zeppelin III and onward. Thats the problem - when people try to emulate Led Zeppelin they try to copy zeppelin 1 and 2. Personally, I'd be emulating ten years gone, the rain song, achilles last stand, no quarter, that's the way, carouslembra and others
🤟😛..after watching afew of your reactions ..I have come to a decision that Girl your a SOILD ..YOUR HONEST GENUINE AND A GEM .U ROCK..KEEP BEING REAL..NOTHIN TO IT BUT TO DO IT ..YOUR SPIRIT IS A RAINBOW. ❤💋
The singer David Coverdale is fabulous, he also sung with Deep Purple for a while, I suggest you listen to Guilty of Love by Whitesnake Live. Oh love a bit of Coverdale me and no werewolf he just was a beast 😉 lol ⭐
I disagree. I feel like Whitesnake were lumped in with glam metal, while they were stylistically outside of it. Their roots were firmly entrenched in 70s rock and were a bit more "mature" musically to be truly glam metal. Also, Coverdale, in general was too old to be a heartthrob for teenage girls, which was kind of a prerequisite for glam metal.
I mean, Def Leppard could be put in that same basket. They started in the late 70s as well. But I mean the HAIR, the power ballads, and the guitar work are all in the makings of that era even if they started before the era actually caught on to be the era.
First concert I ever went to, Whitesnake, 1987. But, the guy who played all the guitars on this album was John Sykes. Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell who are in this video and who I saw live, replaced John Sykes. Those two are just playing along to the tracks Sykes recorded.
“Is this love” is a must! Official video! (That is the super 🔥Tawny Kattain, his then gf that was in many of his videos-). And “Slow & Easy.” You won’t be disappointed! Guaranteed!! ❤️💛☮️💟✌️
Great reaction to a great request. Here I go again and still the night were major songs in the 80's. But whitesnake's earlier work was more blues-based. Please react to Walking in the Shadow of the Blues and Slow and Easy by Whitesnake.
I grew up on 60s and 70s music with my mom, but Whitesnake was the first band that was Mine, that I claimed as my own. I was absolutely in love with David Coverdale (this was all before I discovered Aerosmith and threw my heart at the feet of Steven Tyler), and I loved every single song that I heard from this era of Whitesnake, but this one scared me half to death. Granted I was about twelve at the time; now I absolutely adore it. Is my favorite song they ever did, I think it's just absolutely spectacularly crafted and fantastically done, and David is at the height of his vocal talents in it (and Steve Vai on that guitar just kills it). This album (their epynonymous one), and the next one Slip of the Tongue, were IMO their to best albums; just loaded with hits and songs that should have been hits, and really just fantastic all around.
Yes! Finally some Whitesnake! I love the hair rock era but the earlier stuff is fab. Coverdale has such a bluesy voice. You're Gonna Break My Heart Again is fun.
Awesome video I'm so glad I came across your channel love how you explain the video. You know I think I agree with you about the werewolf thing cause they say they come out on a full moon you just might be on to something. I listen to them as a teenager and I still listen to them when I'm not listening to Prince. Have a night.👍👍💙💙
Coverdale is one of the best Blues vocalists. I think he was married to Tawny Kitaen when this video was shot, but I can't remember. This was one of their more progressive songs, but not widely played on MTV compared to Here I Go Again which is sad.
That girl was sexy as hell but a hot mess - she dated many high profile people; and in very high profile gossip assaulted her MLB husband with a high heeled shoe, has been arrested for some drug & alcohol issues
Amazing that you like Whitesnake. I could tell while you were watching it. Awesome. Excellent vocalist and the incredible band. You know that solo guitarist you like so much? Steve Vai. Tender surrender? He was in this band at this time
Check out Standing in the Shadow Slow an' Easy Guilty of Love The singer (David Coverdale) also sang for Deep Purple for a while. He sings Burn for Deep Purple.
LOVE Whitesnake! You should also check out Slide It In, Slow and Easy, Gimme All Your Love, Cheap and Nasty, and Fool For Your Lovin'. On the softer, more romantic side there's Is This Love.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but that girl in these videos is actress Tawny Kataen, who was married to the lead singer, David Coverdale for many years. Glad you got a taste of Whitesnake because they were one of the most incredible bands of the 70's-90's and still relevant today!
White Snake was pretty much a supergroup in terms of 80's metal, especially with Rudy Sarzo on Bass and Carlos Cavosa on guitar. The music was badass and sexy. Yep we rocked our asses off in the '80s
The whole thing sounds like a werewolf stalking his prey, even the image of the camera looking at her from behind the barred gate and her looking around sensing something watching her gives those vibes. I wish they went full on with it and had special fx of him transforming into a werewolf, it would've been epic.
Yes, it does sound like a violin, because he had a special guitar that had a bowed bridge, like a violin. This allowed him to use a violin bow and create a rif that sounded like a more refined instrument.

I would hate to have to hide what I loved in my house, My mom HATED my hair metal lol, but she couldn't stop me haha

❤️❤️❤️
Color don’t dictate what music can make you feel. I love the typical country, rock but I loveee blues
This one needs to be listened to at max volume! Always!!! 🤘
Whitesnake had an album named. Slide it in with a song Slow and Easy. They were filthy but freaking AWESOME
Awesome song!
David Coverdale - the master of the single entendre lyric.
You forgot “Spit it out” lol
That album is there best work ever IMO🐍
Ok...gotta finish out Whitesnake with "Is this Love" and "Crying in the Rain". 🙂
You forgot one. Here I Go Again.
She already did that first one
And Deeper The Love👍😁💞
Crying in the Rain is way too hard!
Slow and easy
Yessss!!! Whitesnake!! Now you need to check out their softer side with “Is This Love”.
This song is a masterpiece
Amen!
WHITESNAKE'S, "IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT". ONE OF THE MOST KICK ASS SONG THAT CAME ON THE JUKEBOX.....DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE BY THEM....DAVID COVERDALE AND HIS SCREAMS...NICE 🤩✌
The song is called "Still of the night". Period. Not "in the" still of the night.
Tommy Aldridge, the drummer, is over 70 now and still playing for this band. He plays just as hard now and he ever did.
Whitesnake “slow and easy” - very sexy song!
Man I wanted to Fuck my neighbor to this song
Yes it is. And I did get the opportunity to Fuck my neighbor to this song. She was a total milf and she had just gotten divorced too. So that was one amazing night.
This song is a masterpiece.
Absolutely
I think it’s THE perfect rock song. Period.
This song needs to be charged with "Sexual Assault" and indecency!
Amen!
One of my favorite bands of the 80s.
The greatest rock song ever
Agreed!!
David has an amazing voice. Listen to him in Deep Purple. Burn, Soldier of Fortune.
Soldier of Fortune is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. A masterpiece.
had a smile on meh face at the start. You're reaction was spectacular !!! Yes...back in the mid 80's i was in high school and this white boy got some with this band ...big hair gals were a thing too !!!!!
Don't let anyone lie to you. Heavy Metal hair bands in the 80s were about Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll. In that order. TRUTH !!!!
Yes!!! Nothing like being a teen back then!!!
yes they were!
80’s Coverdale was the closest we had to the 70’s Robert Plant.
Even teamed up with Jimmy Page for a tour, until Robert Plant buried the hatchet with Page and took over.
Read somewhere that Robert Plant referred to him as "David Coverversion"
more like led zeppelin 1 and 2 robert plant.
Plant had moved on with different styles from led zeppelin III and onward.
Thats the problem - when people try to emulate Led Zeppelin they try to copy zeppelin 1 and 2.
Personally, I'd be emulating ten years gone, the rain song, achilles last stand, no quarter, that's the way, carouslembra and others
Nice comparison!
@@Marco-vw3mv Yes! When the Coverdale Page CD came out, Plant was not a fan! LOL
Yay!My fave by them!They Rock!!
You just took me back to High School. Class of 87!
Is this love?...great song by Whitesnake.
Great Band! Lots of great music to be discovered here
OH BOY!!! This is a BIG song!!! I remember this was one of the earliest RECORDS i bought!!!
Classic song and probably one of the greatest and best known riffs in rock.
Saw them back in the 80’s ...great show....caught Tommy Aldridge’s drum stick ...still have it 🤘
🤟😛..after watching afew of your reactions ..I have come to a decision that Girl your a SOILD ..YOUR HONEST GENUINE AND A GEM .U ROCK..KEEP BEING REAL..NOTHIN TO IT BUT TO DO IT ..YOUR SPIRIT IS A RAINBOW. ❤💋
Love your channel, cutest thing ever, great reactions, do your thing!!!
Your reactions are hilarious I love them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣in such a good way!!!!!!
The singer David Coverdale is fabulous, he also sung with Deep Purple for a while, I suggest you listen to Guilty of Love by Whitesnake Live. Oh love a bit of Coverdale me and no werewolf he just was a beast 😉 lol ⭐
I seen Whitesnake Live in concert 6 Times every show was amazing
Not a werewolf per se, but definitely an animalistic hunting persona, much like the perspective in Duran Duran's Hungry Like The Wolf.
I grew up in the 80s, what a great time
Tawny Kitean .. just the epitome of beauty and confidence. WOW! No wonder she was THE it girl for many many videos in the 80s.
Quintessential 80s hair metal but that said, they had the musicianship and musical chops to sound great playing it.
I disagree. I feel like Whitesnake were lumped in with glam metal, while they were stylistically outside of it. Their roots were firmly entrenched in 70s rock and were a bit more "mature" musically to be truly glam metal. Also, Coverdale, in general was too old to be a heartthrob for teenage girls, which was kind of a prerequisite for glam metal.

This song, especially the middle portion, oh the memories created to this, ah man.
Great song!🎸awesome reaction!🤘
First concert I ever went to, Whitesnake, 1987.
But, the guy who played all the guitars on this album was John Sykes. Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell who are in this video and who I saw live, replaced John Sykes. Those two are just playing along to the tracks Sykes recorded.
Took two guitarists to be one John Sykes. Wild lol
Wish you could all see them live. Unreal! This song was my fave definitely.
Maybe my favorite of all time. John Sykes is an fn monster
Thank you for doing this song , I love this song and Love the sound the bow on the guitar makes
LOL - priceless reaction, great song!
One of my favorite 80s bands i love whitesnake
Love Whitesnake and David Coverdale 👍😁💞
“Is this love” is a must! Official video! (That is the super 🔥Tawny Kattain, his then gf that was in many of his videos-). And “Slow & Easy.” You won’t be disappointed! Guaranteed!! ❤️💛☮️💟✌️
Awesome reaction.... 80's were the best
Great reaction to a great request. Here I go again and still the night were major songs in the 80's. But whitesnake's earlier work was more blues-based. Please react to Walking in the Shadow of the Blues and Slow and Easy by Whitesnake.
From an Alabama boy I’ll give you a big Roll Tide. And that’s a complement. You go girl. Love the reaction!!!!!
The guitar work in this song is EPIC
John Sykes is the guitarrist
I grew up on 60s and 70s music with my mom, but Whitesnake was the first band that was Mine, that I claimed as my own. I was absolutely in love with David Coverdale (this was all before I discovered Aerosmith and threw my heart at the feet of Steven Tyler), and I loved every single song that I heard from this era of Whitesnake, but this one scared me half to death.

Ive watched hundreds of reactions, and yours ranks up there.
Back in the 1980s MTV was the best music video ever .. Rock like nothing else.
HAHA!! "Why did he say it like that, ya'll?" sweating over here...
The guitar playing with the bow. Awesomeness
John sykes did this
Coverdale is one of the best Blues vocalists. I think he was married to Tawny Kitaen when this video was shot, but I can't remember. This was one of their more progressive songs, but not widely played on MTV compared to Here I Go Again which is sad.
Is this love/ love ain't no stranger❤🔥
The best that Rock has to offer.
Did you notice that the guitar player is using a violin bow on his guitar that is some serious Talent!!
Most genuine reaction I've seen to this song yet. Well done.
I really enjoyed how you were digging that still of the night. Your facial expressions are priceless.
Excellent reaction. Love this song!!!
"Still Of The Night", by Whitesnake, got heavy airplay on MTV in the 1980s. It is the best Heavy Metal song that Led Zeppelin never recorded.
The lead singer David Coverdale and his real life girl was Tawny Kitean
There were married for two years also from 1989 to 1991
That girl was sexy as hell but a hot mess - she dated many high profile people; and in very high profile gossip assaulted her MLB husband with a high heeled shoe, has been arrested for some drug & alcohol issues
My jam back in the day!! Good stuff!!💯😁👍
My favorite Whitesnake song!!!
You should listen to Whitesnake's song "Looking for Love". It's one of the most beautiful songs ever.
My all time favorite Whitesnake Track
Amazing that you like Whitesnake. I could tell while you were watching it. Awesome. Excellent vocalist and the incredible band. You know that solo guitarist you like so much? Steve Vai. Tender surrender? He was in this band at this time
love your ideas! and the hidden extra at the end! keep up the great work my friend, big love to all people :D
John Sykes ladies and gentleman
legendary guitarrist
Check out
Standing in the Shadow
Slow an' Easy
Guilty of Love
The singer (David Coverdale) also sang for Deep Purple for a while.
He sings Burn for Deep Purple.
Whitesnake....Legends
Man, Adrian Vandenberg on the guitar. guy was a monster on the fretboard.
My friend ,John Sykes wrote this song and played in the studio
Your facal exspretions are priceless thanks so entertaining 🤯
My all time favorite band! Please react to Is This Love, The Deeper The Love, Slow and Easy, Slide It In and Fool For Your Loving
Mr. John Sykes crushing it on the guitar.
You were born to do these reaction videos!! Fantastic work, keep it up!!
You 're really lovely. Very cool reactions. Cheers from Uruguay.
White Snake LOL... yea the jam back in the day.. he dated that rocker vixen in the video.. Tawny Kitaan... so did OJ Simpson ;) "Rock-Ballad" :)
Your reactions are fun to watch. Good channel!
I saw them in Atlantic City, NJ...awesome!!! To say the least!!!
LOVE Whitesnake! You should also check out Slide It In, Slow and Easy, Gimme All Your Love, Cheap and Nasty, and Fool For Your Lovin'. On the softer, more romantic side there's Is This Love.
Tawny yeah she still haunts me
this my favorite song
Whitesnake give me all of your love
The, Whitesnake, compilation isn't complete without, Fool For Your Lovin'. 👍🏾
Man - what a kick arse song. Loved your reaction too.. classic. Maybe do David Lee Roth's Yankie Rose next - that will blow your mind.
damn i miss my 80's hair bands.....whitesnake was my favorite of the 80's....child of Babylon was a great B side....
Such a hot and heavy song. Love it!
Yes, he IS a warewolf! Its a well known fact that ALL 80's rock stars were-wolves.

Slide it in, Slow and Easy are awesome songs!
Love from the Central Valley
Whitesnake they we're Amazing! Tawny Kitaen in the video was every guys fantasy lol.
I Love WhiteSnake!
Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but that girl in these videos is actress Tawny Kataen, who was married to the lead singer, David Coverdale for many years. Glad you got a taste of Whitesnake because they were one of the most incredible bands of the 70's-90's and still relevant today!
Every song on the Slide It In album is excellent from the title track to Spit It Out to Slow n Easy to Love Ain’t No Stranger.
Very good live, saw them twice
I was like 12 and love watching the video on late night MTV 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. Only white shake Album i like its good!
