What an intriguing person David is and very intelligent and makes me want to hear his songs over and over again
The man still fits in that jacket!! He's been taking care of himself, unlike some of the other lead singers of his time.

David Coverdale è un vero ed unico intellettuale del rock mondiale!!!!!!!!

Good stuff to watch, even 35 years on. However, it must be frustrating for those who do not know and have available all those songs. I count myself lucky to have.
The love of My life! 💋
I didn't realize at the time that he took Whitesnake so seriously. Such a grand time before that LP took off.
That final part about Deep Purple at 10:06 HAHAHAH Totally love David
Jjjj
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed that
David Coverdale es muy coqueto.😄❤️💋🇦🇷
Whitesnake with John Sykes = BEST EVER!!!
What did you mean?
@@babon1148John Sykes did all the song arrangements with DC bar 'Here I go again' then got fired as a thanks. DC just fires any competition. Read JS' interview with bizzfeed..
@@AC-rx5ck why?
@@AC-rx5ck yeah sikes was a beast on the 87 album!
Sykes is extremely talented
El más lindo por siempre y para siempre...te amo❤
Crees que es un perrito ó un gatito? Porque eso se )e dice a un precioso ó "lindo" animalito... Vamos! Es lo que yo suelo decir cuando veo algo bonito y tierno... Pero jamás se me ocurriría decirle a un hombre lindo!!! Pero si tú quieres expresarte así... no pega nada... Pero te respeto. Bendiciones. ♥️🕊️👍🏻🌹😄😺🐶🌼
@@amalteaballerina In this case how does it sound to you...What a piece of man!!!🙄🙃🙂😁
What, David Coverdale. Well Spoken
I Looove Y O U ! ! !
♥️♥️♥️
I used to love watching Monsters of Rock and I've been a Whitesnake fan for many years now!
He was so adorable !!
IS
You can see David in the Interview not sure what he was going to say about his old Band mates he fired and had some Doubts of 1987 Album still which sold 10 million copies over the years and most Successful Whitesnake Album Every song on that Album kicks ass. it took David Years to accept the new Sound of Whitesnake since 1984 album which he hated the U.S. version the Studio had John Sykes record the newer Guitar Sounds and added to the tracks already recorded Which was old Deep Purple Slower Pace i'm going to fall asleep Sound Whitesnake 1.0 that David liked and was found of. 1984 U.S version album Whitesnake 2.0 was prelude 87 89 Albums newer Version of Whitesnake that is my Favorite High Energy Kick in the Balls Testosterone Guitar Drum and Bass Sound in your Face Sexy Ballads. First time I heard 1987 Album i was Totally Blown Away with the killer Guitar work I said to myself Who the Fuck is this Guitar Player look on back of the album said John Sykes Wow Who's this guy not knowing at the time that all those guys on the 87 Album got Canned by David so when I was watching all those Whitesnake Videos on MTV I thought tall Blond hair guy was Sykes but instead it was Vandenberg I didn't find out till years after the whole Story that i wont get into Sykes contributed so much to that album to be Shunned and not play those Killer Songs in Concert I would have been a Pissed off M.F !! too
My👑
An incredibly astute and focussed individual. Mind blowing how present he is to his achievements and where he’s going next. Wish he’d have kept Sykes somehow.
IS so sexy
Voice DEEP PURPLE !♡
He would have made an amazing Batman...imagine him with a mask.
How cool is he
vozarron macho
I would like to see what comes after his interview! I want to see the thrash stuff!
It was Anthrax with 'Gung Ho'
watch?v=7jAeZCUBVyA
Without Sykes without Snake.David used the man and no one could replace the real guy who made thant band finally made in USA.
Nahh. The 1987 album was nothing more than old rehashed Whitesnake songs with heavy guitars and MTV friendly imagery.
@@thetruthhurts6652 nah nah Sykes gave Whitesnake a sound that no other band at the time had
@@thetruthhurts6652 There were just 2 "rehashed" Whitesnake songs on 1987.
@@CB-xr1eg yes there were to covers but the other songs except still of the night were very similar to old songs except with a heavier guitar sound. In other words, me being a Coverdale fan since 1973 I never saw much new there.
@@SuperHorsecow it wasn’t all Sykes. Vandenberg did the guitar solo for “Here I Go Again” and re-recorded a lot of the other guitar riffs because the album producer didn’t like everything Sykes did on the album.
Sykes gave 100℅ to WS and Coverdale sacked him and everyone else, just ridiculous
Coverdale is a cowardly cunt!
Sykes wanted to replace David during recovery ..thats why he was sacked
metalheadoldschol true...BUT still that was the dumbest career move in hard rock's history, to fire the whole killer group that made the 1987 album. Sometimes you have to eat your own pride for the greater good...DC's ego got too big, he couldn't handle it. He could have ruled the America touring with the 87 line up but he chose not to, what a moron jeez
His ego could help him accepeted John Sykes skills and alive he took the spotlite from David.
Sykes was a flashy over player. Didn't suit the band.
🌹🌹🌹🌹
👏👏👏❤
DC i’ve grown to appreciate his putting music first… too bad Sykes couldn’t play his co-creation live
❤️🐍 WHITESNAKE 🎸 BAND 🎤 DAVID ♥️ COVERDALE ❤️ LOVE ♥️ YOU ♥️ BABY ♥️ BABY ♥️ BABY ♥️ FOREVER 💋🐍❤️😉
Quite a few comments that clearly show he was struggling financially, if this album flopped then it would have been interesting to see how things worked out.
"You a thrash metal fan, David?" "A bit." 😛
I wonder what video they played???
@@Dnekro69 My guess would be either Anthrax Indians or Megadeth Peace Sells.
The shes a woman section riff solo on the Take me with you in live in heart of city could be on every thrash metal songs .
The song is fast too .
So i think there s a continuity .
Easy to talk great about your former band mates when you’re profiting handsomely from the album that John Sykes had equal writing contributions in, and essentially it was his ideas for the music to appeal to the American audience, which up until that point Whitesnake wasn’t well known at all in America. It was Sykes ideas and writing that helped makes Whitesnake ‘87 what it is.
sounds like hes a cryptic over achiever .dave speaks like a much more subdued dave mustaine deeply serious guy.
I was just about to say the same thing! They even have the same hairstyle
Lord he's sexy. And that voice ❤
Show the man
To me he also underwent some kind of cosmetic surgery at this point of his career. Just look at some video of David Coverdale before 1987 and note how much different he was... some voices told that he was some kind of jealous of handsome John Sykes that he ended up looking like him...
It is at plastic surgery it is a double I hate to break it to everyone but you are being mindfucked like you wouldn’t believe ... if you get a facial recognition app and a voice recognition app you can easily prove the David Coverdale from the 1970s is different then the David Coverdale from 1987 unfortunately music is also full of transgendered people this is obviously a female .The music industry uses doubles all the time every year including Hollywood actors
Make up ..
@@calebproductions5970 I gotta agree with you but what's he had done apart from the hair dye ? Why use a double or a clone ? He looks fuck all what he looked like in the slow an easy video and that was only four years before this interview. Fast forward to present day and he looks like my grandmother...
@Zvonimir Klarić he is a nordic , haha Yorkshire
This is True.When Sykes was called the sexiest guy Down here in Brasil Coverdale got jealous and used Sykes skills than fired the great John Sykes and hired a cover named Vandeberg and for me not even Steve Vai could replace John Sykes.
Я же сказала,что у тебя все получиться в 9лет.Ето значіт і у меня все с тобой случиться.Ти единственний кто,кто может разговарівать.Я же тебя понімала.
why coverdale and sykes seperate?what OFFICIAL
the both two sides said?i have curiosity !
please i am waiting your answers!
Nothing official: DC said it was a matter of attitude, with a negative approach of band's members, while JS said that since DC fired everybody in the band it was just a matter of money because Coverdale wanted the financial control of the 1987 album songs. Someone told that JS spent too too much money re-recording guitars in various studios looking for the perfect guitar tone and DC couldnt stand him for that.
***** thank you!
@@julesdb4107 john attempted to replace Coverdale during His recovery ...
Jealous about Johns look and Skills in Studio e on stage.
@@luisclaudioneves2559 that’s not true, Adrian Vandenberg is cuter than Sykes and Coverdale had no issues because he didn’t try to throw Coverdale out of his own band like Sykes tried to when he couldn’t sing for 9 months.
Slide it in could have been released by Spinaltap.
"1987", when it all went wrong if you ask me (well, you probably wont, but anyway...)
Was Tawny there at the interview?
She was outside, pissing about on peoples car bonnets again 😂
This would have been just before here I go again exploded Whitsnake to a whole new kevel
Great singer but a pompous arse who could probably start a fight in a phone box .. shame he kept sacking the band
I think he's mellowed over the years. Seems decent now.
He sounds like Chris Hemsworth.
Not really. DC has an English accent, CH has an Australian accent.
that horrible then in steps the tawny kitaen factor.
I love whitesnake and David Coverdale he created a very fantastic band with a lot of talent
You can tell David is extremely uncomfortable with these questions about what happened to the band and who are these new guys.
Какой низкий голос.....
Красивый баритон. Завораживает.
Ти спрашиваешь,про Поведение Paula.Seks-Sport.(Дальше,сильнее,више).Бесчувственний-екстрвмал.Ето мужчина проекцирует на девочку,весь потенциал секс- машини.Моя броня.
7:28 if David thought the mid 1980's was a dry time for "great songs" god help us in 2022! The last 20 years has been a disgrace to music on the whole.
I totally agree with you . Music in our days now is complete shit . I wasn’t born in the 80s . But music in the 80s & 90s was the best kind of music in my opinion x
Robbed Sykes of his rightful place on that tour.
I really do believe that David C. thinks he is Robert Plant (Bobby). Bobby hates the comparisons, not to mention David C's f*cking guts. David C thinks he is good enough to work with Jimmy as well. Jimmy feels the same as Bobby. Jimmy and Bobby produced the Coverdale Page album without the 3 of them being in the same room together at the same time as DC was not welcome in the studio.
You can see what happens when David C and Jon L are on the same bill as Ritchie on the stage at Calofornia Jam. It is no different when it comes to Jimmy and Bobby when David C is lurking around in the studio, trying to fuck things up;
Ian Gillan and David C do not get along, due to the way David C fucks around with Ritchie's amps/sound/guitar, just to name 3 times. David C hides from Ian because he does not heeding Ian's warnings, one of the reasons Ian screams so much! ON stage, Ian get get away with it, but offstage, maybe not so much as the powers that be will lock you up for that. I know that all too well, yes I do, all too well.....
Plant had nothing to do with the Coverdale/Page album. Page obviously thought highly enough of David to do an album with him and have a mini tour in Japan until Robert like a spurned lover decided to beg Jimmy to come back to him! Get the story straight and stop pulling things out of your arse friend!
Top tip: it would have been a lot easier to read and understand your story if you had used the surnames of those involved and not make up your own nicknames.
@@marcdavis7583 What nicknames? I thought it was quite clear, and so do you==David Coverdale, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page, all of which are BRAND names as in music as a PRODUCT name. Ask Jordan Maxwell. He knows that music is nothing personal, just good business as stated by the powers that be, not Jordan himself. Music to us is an art, but religion,aka, government does not see it that way...
@@rosekittygraykittyjackkitt9676 Firstly, in 50 years, I've never heard Robert Plant be referred to as "Bobby". "Percy" is his nickname, by the way.
There are many people called Jimmy, Robert, and David; but Coverdale, Page and Plant are unique.
If you re-write your story using the surnames or at least keep the name consistent, it's much more elegant and more easily understood.
But what do I know, I only write stuff for a living. ;)
?
What variant of an english accent does David Coverdale have?
He's actually speaking what is called Received Pronunciation, which means a fairly neutral, middle to upper class accent, that actually has no accent and which is redolent of how people on the BBC used to sound some years ago!! His voice originally was far more Yorkshire (which is where he's from) - a very distinct regional accent from the North of England. It's not particularly a rock'n'roll accent, so I suspect that he ironed it out when he joined Deep Purple, in order to sound less of a Northerner. Sorry, it's so difficult to explain the whole minefield which is English/British accents..!!
@@zoefoster1873 He "ironed out" his accent so he would be easier to understand in foreign countries. His Yorkshire twang would have been difficult for people such as Americans. They couldn't understand Cheryl Cole's Geordie which is why she bombed over there.
Having said that, The Beatles did ok with their scouse accents, so go figure!
@@zoefoster1873 You explained it really well, dw. I understood. And I only just realised you replied to something I asked seven months ago. Thanks! I was aware that he was from Yorkshire but because the accent didn't match, I was under the impression maybe he just lived somewhere else long enough to adopt that refined sound. I like the way he talks and his deep voice makes him sound very relaxing - comforting almost. Lmao. Honestly I reckon he would've sounded just as nice with a Yorkshire accent because Joe Elliott from Def Leppard sounds awesome when he talks as well.
@@generalhighground5300 Explaining accents is difficult isn't it! One big difference between DC and JE is that I can't stand the latter, and I STILL can't understand why Def Leppard are so often described as a Heavy Metal band, when to me at least, they sound like Pop/Rock...just my humble opinion!
Can't stang sykes......!!
He even stole sykes hairdo lol😅 1987 sold 10 million slip of the tongue 1 million? Says it all
Paranoid Personality Disorder
Poor mans' Robert Plant............DISCUSS !
No way. Far better singer songwriter than Plant. IMO.
Its such a stupid pitiful accusation its not even up for discussion.
I like them both, but Coverdale’s baritone voice is superb like he did for the original version of “Don’t Break My Heart Again.”
Зд
Coverdale is the Trump of Rock music demands loyalty and then stabs you in the back. He told Sykes he had no gurantee he would be back so Sykes writes 9 out of 11 songs and Coverdale rewards him by sacking him. After Whitesnake album he rewards Vivian Campbell who toured to support the CD by sacking him. Trump would be so proud of Coverdale 9 line-up changes in WS from 1978 to 1987!
He should be greatfull With Sykes for the rest of his life.He fired the guy without even make a Phone call.
You should read the Bernie Marsden book about how the original line-up was fired: they were told one day all is good, they get called to a meeting the next day to be told by Coverdale "you're out and it's not my fault".
Luckily for Bernie he wrote some songs that got re-recorded by the hair-metal version of Whitesnake, and he managed to live off those royalties.
@@marcdavis7583 Coverdale broke up the band in order to cut ties with the management because that was the only way he could get out of it in addition to paying off his contract. Bernie wrote: “The greatest band any guitarist could wish for had ended without a row or whimper, and a song-writing partnership that could have gone on to bigger and better things was terminated because of lousy management.”
I really do believe David C thinks he is Ian (Gillan). Just ask Ritchie(Blackmore). He will tell you point blank if he thinks you deserve to know.
No respect for Coverdale.
He'd be devastated to know that.
