The Untold Truth Of Whitesnake

- Whitesnake was one of the most famous hair metal bands of the late ‘80s, but they have origins far removed from the music they’re best known for. The band was founded by David Coverdale, who had previously been the lead singer of Deep Purple, and Whitesnake’s early albums reflect his blues-rock roots. Gradually, Coverdale wanted to shift to a more heavy metal sound, and when his bandmates didn’t agree, he just replaced them. From the song they wrote for a blues legend to the three attempts at their most famous song, let’s take a look at the untold truth of Whitesnake.

My mother, God Rest her soul, who loved gospel and bluegrass music, it didn't take long for her to fall in love with the music of Whitesnake, and we'd jam out together back in the day listening to the radio. For that reason this band holds a special place in my heart

That's a nice memory, my mom was more into Abba and stuff but she was still cool too.
Such an underrated, legendary true classic and hard rock band. Pure class!
Bucket list.....being held by David Coverdale and listen to that beautiful voice!
good composer, above average singer, and some of his songs are about one-night stands. Seems like a hard guy to work with but that is a character flaw that you find in any sub-culture.
White snake is one of the greatest bands in the world!! David Coverdale is an awesome song writer!! Here I go again and still of the night or monster classics Hits!!❤👍😃🙏🏆
you do realise they had a ton more albums before that right? here i go again was redone from a previous album
The song they offered to BB King was Fool For Your Loving
Thank you✊ I noticed too
This man knew what he needed and did it.
except his women
My favorite albums of theirs are definitely the 1987 and 1989 albums because they were more hard rock / glam metal sounding which appealed to me more then their early bluesy sound. Also David Coverdale did a fantastic power ballad to the movie Days of Thunder called Last Note Of Freedom which absolutely epic.
Yah I do like hard rock/ glam metal too ...\m/ \m/ 🎸🎸🎹🎸🎸
@@mindfulnesssf5619 Yes definitely, love the heavier more commercial sound of theirs from that era.
they never sounded even remotely glam
@@gothicm3rcy426 No definitely not, glam isn't really a sound it's more of an image, their sound was more hard edge rock in the late 80's compared to their earlier sound of blue's rock.
@@gothicm3rcy426they absolutely did on Slip of the Tongue.
Back in January 28 1986 I was really down while I watched on TV the Shuttle Challenger blown out of the sky. The 10 years prior were just a memory. I ended up on the coast of Southern Oregon. 1971 El Camino $50.00 cash and 1/2 tank of gas. I was sleeping in a tent and using a Habachi charcoal fold-up barbeque which I still have after all these years. I was a subcontractor for a paint company when I bought a used tractor/trailer. I was a private contractor and went on to buy properties in Oregon and Alaska. White Snake came to the Salem Fairground to perform a concert. My tractor and I were across the street living in the campground.
The song Here I Go Again was on the FM dial when I was starting my new life.
David has the voice ..much thanks to Marsden and Sykes..never heard that Sykes tried to get David out of the band
People always mistake the meanings of lyrics. Everyone gets “Every Breath You Take” played at their weddings cos they think it’s romantic but it’s about a creepy stalker 😂
Well music is art. Its how you interpret the art that matters most. So if the lyrics to a song about a stalker defines the romance between some couples theres no harm in that. Thats the beauty of music art.
I loved White Snake... My friends were like "girl, what are you listening to" 🤣🤣🤣
You have good musical taste!
Looks like you need some new friends 😂 just kidding, nothing wrong with different taste. You have good taste for sure
I had the privilege to see Whitesnake live in 2019. Unfortunately, during the song "Still Of The Night" it started raining heavily and the wind blew uncontrollably. Now everytime I hear that song it reminds me of the awful weather from the concert. Luckily the storm started almost at the very end of the concert, so I didn't miss much.
I knew that they were around since the 70's, and that they'd been big in Europe years before breaking big in America. I knew an earlier version of "Here I Go Again"(MUCH different from the '87 version) appeared on an earlier album, as I've collected their back catalog(pre-'87), but I never knew what the song was truly about. I knew about the line- up in the '87\'88 videos not being the same as on the '87 album, and about the various line-up changes.
The good ole days. 🤘🏻
John Sykes said he doesn't remember Coverdale having sinus problems. He also said that he never attempted to replace Coverdale in the band.
Neil Murray said once in a 1997 interview that Coverdale's claims of vocal problems during the making of the '87 album, were most likely due to psychosomatic disorder (in other words, Coverdale had an imaginary illness).
I think Mr. Coverdale has mellowed out considerably over the years. He is jokes and laughs in modern times.
Whitesnake's early material is my favorite...but Slide it In is probably my favorite from front to back by the band. Northwinds by David Coverdale is probably my favorite of all time by him during his solo stint directly after his time with Deep Purple.
I used to think bands were friends, not people you just hired!
The good ones are. The others are just businesses.
@@gatekeeper65 a shame.
Different bands form under different circumstances.
I think some were, but looks like most weren't.
I heard off Carl Palmer that ELP weren’t friends or enemies either . They just turned up , recorded/ toured and then went home. Purely a business relationship! No argument and no camaraderie either!
I still remember compilation album Metalmania, with "Fool For Your Lovin'"... I become their fan at the very moment I heard the song. Coverdale was always very professional and good example how to be rock star and not to stray off...

It's a crime that these videos feature none of the music they're talking about.
If you’re any kind of a fan. They don’t need to
It would probably get removed because of copyright
@Ian McRobbie a crime? Dude, just look them up & listen to them on youtube. It's easy.
@@oasis3724 Right on!
I remember the first time I hear "Slide it In" in the back seat of my friend's Chevette in the 80's. I / We had never heard anything like that before. We couldn't believe it wasn't censored and it was perfectly slutty and sensual at the same time. Such a great band at such an amazing time. I think everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard Queen and of course Whitesnake. Great memories at the best time of my life. Epic does not do you justice. Rock on1 ;)
I saw Whitesnake 3 times live... First around 1978 with Moody/Marsden and Jon Lord new in the band, next around 1989 with Vandenberg and Vai, then around 2015 with Aldrich and Beach in guitar...👍🤘🎸
Cryin in the rain is the greatess whitesnake song for me
I believe Coverdale sings better on that song than anything else he's ever done. Great song.
which version saints and sinners or 1987?
@@jecos1966 1987 I love it when it picks up with the guitar solo
@@SixStringSteve yeah! i believe its their best album overall
@@jecos1966 saints. 87 is over-produced, too slick and plastic.
Whitesnake's 1987 album actually reached #1 on the US charts.
Only on Cash Box one. On Billboard's it reached No. 2.
I saw them in the late 80's with Motley Crue at the Capital Center in Washington DC...Motley Crue blew them away. Tommy Lee did that spinning upside down drum solo, it was badass!
They're different energies. And the musicians in Snake (pretty much any lineup) are better musicians than Crue. Ian Paice, Cozy Powell, Aynsley Dunbar and Tommy Aldridge are definitely better drummers than Tommy Lee.
But I love both bands
@@ETK696 That's cool, you are obviously a big White Snake fan, believe me I love em too, and you are correct on the talent they possess, but they never drew the crowds of Motley Crue. But anyway, I was just commenting on how Motley Crue blew them away that night, White Snake had their chance that night, but Motley Crue absolutely obliterated them! Thanks for the feedback, rock on!
Tommy lee can spin .
That don't give more credit to his drum creativity ..
In 1987 it had rest but since what he does only , Crushing cymbals over indus music and all in the show .
Maybe that what american audiences stand for but crushing cymbals is not drumming .
Now all he does is sampling and stuff " The young guy still in the wind " rather than playing really and expand his craft .
@@Nissardpertugiu Just like I told the last guy that commented, I was just commenting on the fact that I saw them with White Snake and Motley Crue blew them away, and that drum solo was awesome! I'm not a Tommy Lee Fan at all. My drummer was Bonham. But I'm more of a Guitar fan, Yngwie, randy rhodes, buckethead, Steve via, Michael angelo batio, Paul gilbert, hell I could go on forever here. Thanks for the feedback.
I think nikki sixx in their book The Dirt wasnt a fan and wrote that they were "posers" along with warrant and poison. Talent wise nikki and his bandmates are nowhere close to any version of whitesnake but i get where he's coming from. But then again David comes off the winner anyway coz his decision to change their music according to what ppl are into made him millions and i dont think anyone would mind being called this and that when you got truckloads of cash
5:17 Now what on earth could have been doing in LA in the 80's that made him prone to a sinus infection?
Gee , i was wondering that too !
Lol I thought the same thing! Things that make you go hmmmmm 🙄
Allergies from pollens in a new environment. I got very sick with multiple sinus infections when I moved from East to West Coast.
It's Fool For Your Loving, not fool for loving you
Great band
Slow and easy my favorite song I guess
" *You're disc is now mine!* "
Loved Whitesnake when they were a hard rock/blues based band but went completely off them when they became a poodle rock metal band with the release of 1987. David Coverdale was a great vocalist but also a control freak only interested in his own success!
Rocked either way.
I honestly think going glam metal was a success for them
Their change of course musically actually kept david from being millions in debt to being a millionaire so i'd say he gained much much more fans than he lost.
I cant believe i just watched a video called "The truth about Whitesnake"
You didn't. You watched THE UNTOLD TRUTH OF WHITESNAKE! Guess you got confused smoking your ganja and shots of tequila!!
Can we collaborate in some way? Where’s the best place to reach you 🙏
Deep Purple was good on the resume for Coverdale and Hughes. (Evans/Simper) mk1, (Gillan/Glover) mk2, (Coverdale/Hughes) mk3, (Bolin) mk4, are all my favorite incarnations in their own way. .early Whitesnake (post Purple) RIP: Jon Lord and the Geffen (snake). .rules.
. .been a Deep Purple fan forever. .
The first (David Coverdale's) Whitesnake LP in Germany was Snakebite.. 4 songs from Northwinds and the Snakebite EP (4 songs) from the UK combined...🤓
Coverdale is father of hard and heavy rock for last 50 years
I was a little confused when I didn't see John Sykes, Neil Murray, and Ainsley Dunbar in the here I go again video.
This was awesome, I never k ew!! Deep purple!
Yeah and in 2015 Whitesnake did a Purple cover album. With songs from the 3 Coverdale albums of course
@@ETK696 And it was truly awful, absolutely murdered the originals!
" Fool for your loving ", not "Fool for loving you"
i know ,......what a moron,get the facts straight
The song's called Fool for your loving, not too for loving you
Bassist Michael Devon recently parted ways with the band. I don't know the details on why but Coverdale replaced him with bassist Tanya O'Callaghan, the first female band member. I would've rather seen Rudy Sarzo come back.
Bandleaders man ! They’re all the bloody same ! Fripp , mayall , Coverdale, Blackmore , I Anderson, noticing a pattern here ? Rock n roll eh ? Mugs game 😫
That's why John Lord Ian paice let David Coverdale in Glenn Hughes go in 1976
Glenn Hughes and Tommy Bolin were in really bad shape. Drugs took a huge toll on the both of them. Coverdale went to Lord, and Paice, and handed in a letter of resignation. And they said there is no band to quit. They were dissolving the band after that nights performance. You can find Video of Lord telling the story on here. Bolin would die shortly after.
I seen whitesnake in 2019 David Coverdale smile at me.
Did ya come in your pants
@@oasis3724 no,now get your mind out of the gutter.
@@ranger1333 Good to know, you came in your pants! My head has never been in the gutter. Can ya tell me how it feels

When David Coverdale was born, he was 50 years old.
Classic!
7:50 just ruined my whole childhood
"They tried to force him out???🤣🤣🤣How in the world can you cut out the root and expect the plant to still grow???????????????
weird how people forget he was with deep purple and also had solo albums before whitesnake
the only album of WHITESNAKE i've ever had was "WHITESNAKE" by DAVID COVERDALE!
They had others??
@@Mike_HuntizWet I was talking about "WHITESNAKE" the album and not the band; if D. COVERDALE changed lineup all the time, it was as if the BAND did not exist or he was the band.
I discovered him when he was a member of DEEP PURPLE ("Stormbringer" and "Come taste the band") in the 70's then I lost sight of it all.
it was difficult to keep up in this part of the world as the government suspended import licenses for various cultural products, weapons and alcohol in the late 1970s.
@@djallalnamri1 He is the band. And the lineup didn't start changing all the time til around Slide It In and 87 era
@@djallalnamri1 changing members in 1977/1978 was because he couldnt pay musician for stay with , except Micky moody.
He was contractual tied up with the Purple stuff until 2 albums .
Before that he couldnt even play live .
I don't remember what happened with Pete the keyboard player on Snakebite but Dave dowle left on his own to back to his Funk roots in 1979 , Ian paice came in .
They stayed until 1982 .
Management problems and end of inspiration course, Paice & Neil left for Gary moore .
The reasons of Bernie are bit blurred to me i have to check again .
Colin Hammer on bass i don't know why he left either or if he was fired as Neil back in 1984 .
Cozy stayed until 1985 where he left for ELP .
Mel galley was 1983/1984 but he had his injury .
Micky moody left towards the more metallic sound .
Ainsley dunbar was just session drummer as i remember .
Sykes , unfortunally , was quite ( or still ) immature and impatient and searched troubles that lead to his eviction . While David was recovering , and tried to replace David with having some sort of leadership too .
Not surprised he got fired.
Neil murray wasnt called again.
Vivian campbell left on his own.
David disbanded WS in 1991 ...
.
Can you do the untold truth of Disturbed or Staind
Fool for Loving You????
Wish he would have joined Van Halen for a couple albums
Hell No we got Sammy Hagar from Montrose after David Lee Roth left Van Halen.
The Quill!!
The best Whitesnake lineup was with Coverdale, Moody, Marsden, Murray, Lord and Paice. 'Fool For Loving You'? Never heard of that song but I have heard 'Fool For Your Loving.' Some of the facts in this are also wrong.
You name their “hall of fame” members and proceed to name guys that aren’t in the hall of fame and you omit Ian Paice and Jon Lord who are the only two that are in the Hall of Fame.
I feel like most of this info is incorrect.
Saw them in 87 when Vandenberg screwed up his hand doing piano exercises but luckily was replaced by Vai. Not quite the same sound but he could make his 7 string sing. Sailing ships is my fave, wasnt played that night
Vai didn't come around til 89-90 though
As an European i know all this .
But for most american its cool .
I would say acclaimed success in Europe and Japan too .
As usual , politic market of US doesnt want to allow much an european band unless you polish your music .
Personnally i like all sorts some of songs of WS but sorry i can't say that 1987 or Slip is particulery better than the earlier stuff thar was much balanced , raw and showed wider influences .
Such soul , funky vibe and even Jazz fusion acrobatics ( Try Nightawk ) ..
For 'untold truth", read 'common knowledge that everyone has known several decades."
Hahahahha. I know right? Its always like this with other bands that they have covered too but im a sucker i always click on these videos even though i know theres never some untold truth that im gonna finally find out
Nasal infection ? Coke ? Nasal reconstruction ?? Hissy fit ??
Katain was toxic. Coverdale and Vai✌️🤘🇦🇺🏴
sounds like what happened to Y&T , but they were never able to get to the top other then in my eyes.
Whitesnake hasn't sold total with all their releases since what the 1987 album has sold.
Not necessarily an indication of greatness or superior songs though. Coverdale turned the band into a metal bludgeon, very little finesse.
Vai!!!
Pucci NOISES!!!!!!!!!!
C MOOON MADEU IN HEAVEN
"Is This Love", is BY FAR THE BEST WHITE SNAKE SONG EVER!!!!
My favorite is "Still Of The Night"(overall), but "Is This Love?" is my favorite ballad by them.
Um, it was Fool For Your Loving, not Fool For Loving You.
“David Coverdale’s” Whitesnake
If the story is untold, how do these people know about it?
DC doesn't own his music up to Slide It In
They had Tawney
Didn’t David personally have Tawny?
@@Mike_HuntizWet Yes.
I think the only band members with the longest tenure are david and tommy Aldridge
And Micky moody maybe with Adrian & Neil murray & Rudy .
I was expecting more jojo comments
Still peddling the old lies. Still of the Night was not an old DP demo. John Sykes did not try and force DC out.

Lol, where the info about Claudia Schiffer comes from?! She was only discovered in late 1987 and didn't become famous until 1989! In fact it was Kitaen that was scheduled from the start, though not for HIGA but for previous video - for "Chill of the night". Check your sources, mate.
Tawny also was on the cover of Ratt's Out of the cellar, when her boyfriend was Robbin Crosby...🤓
@@martinkasper197 Yeah, the girl got around in her time - to everyone's delight☺
Omg. A lot of what is said here is shit... If you are gonna do a bio then at least get it right. And in the right order... Whitesnake IS David Coverdale.
Coverdale sounds like a control freak
You look so beautiful
This video is absolute crap… Sykes said that this rumour is a lie, he never attempted to replace DC with another singer/frontman
you say sykes trided to get rid of coverdade .bull shit . coverdale got rid of him .he is the best guitarits he ever had
I have heard "Whitesnake" twice: First a concert on cassette in the year 1982 in a bus for the pupil exchange from Germany to France. Just terrible noise and that usual guitar solo at overlength. ABBA took over after that. Then I saw them on TV with "Here I Go Again". Cheesy hair metal sucking in excess. At school we, the boys, were into Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, but no Whitesnake fans anywhere. It must have been a girls´ thing like Def Leppard. Dave´s shlong, so long, so what?
This is BS, how can Sykes take over whitesnake as he was enployed by David Coverdale and Whitesnake? There are contracts that exist, so i call bullshit. Plus Sykes was HIRED to re-record Slide it In for a US version of the album, which happened in late 82 not 85
1984
@@Nissardpertugiu The US slide it in was released in early 84, which means remixing the UK version happened in 83, and he was touring with them in 83
