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.
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.
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 =)
@@FrankCastlesConscienceThe 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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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 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
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!
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.
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!!
@@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 😜
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.
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.
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
Let's Sing! I know you, you know me I'm the black sheep of the family, I'm in an' out of trouble I'm the talk of the town I get wild in the street When the sun goes down I steal around, like a thief in the night Dancing 'til the break of day Bad boys, Running undercover of moonlight Bad, bad boys, Getting wild in the street, Wild in the city I see you, you see me Just a black street boy in society With high-heeled women full of champagne an' lies, Getting wild in the street 'Til the hot sunrise Stealing round like a thief in the night Dancing 'til the break of day Bad boys, Running undercover of moonlight Bad, bad boys, Getting wild in the street, Wild in the city, Wild in the city, Wild in the city Bad, bad boys, Running undercover of moonlight Bad, bad boys, Getting wild in the street, Wild in the city I know you, you know me I'm the black sheep of the family, I'm in an' out of trouble I'm the talk of the town I get wild in the street When the sun goes down I don't care what the people think, I can't hear what the people say, I steal around like a thief in the night Dancing 'til the break of day Bad, bad boys, Running undercover of moonlight Bad, bad boys, Getting wild in the street, Bad, bad, bad boys, Running undercover of moonlight Bad, bad boys, Getting wild in the street, Wild in the city Undercover of moonlight...
I am glad of all the love John Sykes is getting here, way overdue
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

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.
th-cam.com/video/G6aEFz09rxQ/w-d-xo.html
to prove your point
JS was the man
Nothing like Sykes at all bro
Exactly. John Sykes is the Mastermind of this song
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.
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 =)
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.
Excellent performance, especially by Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach 😀👍🎸 !
Yep, they ALMOST manage to cover between them what John Sykes can do alone 😏
@@FrankCastlesConscienceThe 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.
The ageless Tommy Aldridge. The man is simply a machine back there on drums.
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
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.
Doug Aldrich
Yes
He is
Seeee imagínate que fue violero de Dio🎸
Yes, that indeed is, Doug Aldrich.
No, it's my mother
Please bless them. I'm a foreigner, but I've never heard a metal song that captivates me in such the good way!
There is the song that will never get old!
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.
Hello, planet Earth! This is what good rock and roll music sounds like! You're welcome!
one of the best live performances out there
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.

Una de las canciones en vivo más potentes de principio a fin. Esto es ROCK.
💥 How Can You Not Love That 🎸 Best Live Performance 💥
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!
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
Fuck man, Doug's guitar sounds so gooood. The best hard rock guitar player on the planet, IMHO.
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 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
David Coverdale is one of the last Rock's Gods....
Yes... this is ROCK!
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
Reb Beach is a monster. His solo is second to noone!
the extra solo was really awesome!
I saw Doug and Marco at a small Festival in Germany. Both signed my first electric guitar. They were so cool!!!
In my heart and in my soul FOREVER
BEST!... HARD ROCK!... BAND!... EVER!...
Now here we go baby. BAD BOY running wild on the town tonight! Until the break of dawn.
This is a amazing song!
it doesn't get much better than this!!!!
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.
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
They still got it no doubt about it!
One of the 3 Great whitesnake Songs.
The other two being crying in the rain and in the still of the night ?
I was at this show, amazing memories...
tommy aldridge at his best...BAD BOYS one of the best hardvrock songs ever... agree metal menacics.....
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.

AMAZING LINE UP!!!!!
The kings of Hard Rock!!!
Why is beech so fucking good and under rated. It’s a crime
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.
incredible performance, just so damn impressive
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.....
That Groove 🔥🔥🔥🔥
oh man so excellent! Im turning this right up....what a band....
2024 and this still KICKS AS*
Amazing Band !!! Great Song !!!
Amazing Band !!! Great Sony !!!
this is from the dvd
live, in the still of the night
it kicks ass!!!
This is sooooo goooood!!!!!!
it is, its called live in the still of the night!
it rocks!!!
Nice to see Reb taking a solo. He rocks!
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!!
always enjoyed a Whitesnake show. Never a sausage fest!
These guys are great live.
I saw them at the Florida Theater a couple years ago and they were amazing.
how come i never paid closer attention to whitesnake before, this is fantastic
Thanks for posting this!
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?
Soundtrack of every true rocker's life! :D
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!
Featuring Aldrich and Beach... Fucking awesome !
It’s a real shame David and John couldn’t reconcile for a Whitesnake reunion… that’s would’ve been probably the best ever.
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
~~~Love, Love, Love!!~~~~
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. Not many people do it, but it's actually how it is 'supposed' to be funnily enough 😜
Remembering my youth while haring that.
Doug u are the master!!!!
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.
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.
I honestly dig this live version more! So much more emotional and darker
this is incredibly good!
Great solo. Emotional. Pulled it off big time.
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
Dudes, Tommy is literally (I know, Peart) GOAT....He has not missed a beat....WOW
Coolest riff ever
i was there and i was most certainly danicng till the break of day! \m/
Great lineup, Reb Beach is a phenom and plays those Steve Vai songs awesome. Doug Aldrich is really underrated also, and then there's Coverdale...
This is not a Steve Vai song
This is Sykes off the 1987 album.
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
Tommy Aldridge is a beast
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
2:07 Ahh pre 2010. What a different time you were.
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.
The best drummer of the history
toomy best drummer
The best version.
Tommy Aldridge옹 너무 조아 ㅠㅠ
Tommy Aldridge is THE MAN!! F* insane
Nice but still living off songs written by John Sykes!!!!
bad bad boys!!!
Let's Sing!
I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family,
I'm in an' out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down
I steal around, like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day
Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city
I see you, you see me
Just a black street boy in society
With high-heeled women full of champagne an' lies,
Getting wild in the street
'Til the hot sunrise
Stealing round like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day
Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city
Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city
I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family,
I'm in an' out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down
I don't care what the people think,
I can't hear what the people say,
I steal around like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day
Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Bad, bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city
Undercover of moonlight...
