RIP Tawny Kittan. Almost every guy from this era first crush
I crushed on her for years.
Tawny and Lita Ford…
@@maverick4you second after Liz Hurley for me lol....
🙋🙋 - Yes sir!
Amen!!
Whitesnake - "Still of the Night" 80's in a nutshell❤️
Yes !!!
truth!
What's two times 3?
My favorite Whitesnake song!
Being a teen boy in the 80's, I can tell you these Whitesnake videos with Tawny Kitaen were everything 😍
Yup... 87 was... unforgettable
But then again so was 85 and 86, and the rest of the 80's
Damn fucking right! Tawny is probably in my mind the most beautiful woman I've ever seen on screen or anywhere else. Something so ultra sexy about her when she smiles. I can't get over it.
Totally agree. Tawny and Kelly Lebrock were the women of the 80's.
@@gusa72 #1 was Christie Brinkley, Of Course
Important side note: John Sykes was the guitarist who played the solo on this song. - actually all the guitar work on this album was performed by Sykes. Him - and the rest of the band was fired by David Coverdale (lead singer) shortly after this album was released . The band in this video (and all videos from this album) had nothing to do with the original recording of this album - except for Coverdale. Sykes is a guitar hero to many - RIP John Sykes. Had to throw that out there
❤ Rip John Sykes
Tawny Kittaen was married to the lead singer Dd's David Coverdale for a few years and was in most of their videos during their marriage. She passed away a few years ago. Every boy and man wanted her during these days 😍
Those of us who lived through the 80s, we agree, the 80s were incredible, never been a time like it since.
70s and 80s was sooo good!!
Yes they were.
I'm 54 and these were the best times ever hands down.
I feel Tawny was the undisputed Queen of 80s MTV rock videos. She was 26/27 here with a absolutely unforgettable look - just beautiful. Come to think of it, she reminds me of our girl Stacey here!
Gotta recommend 'Here I go again' & 'Still of the night'
Nice reaction! Love the music conversation & nostalgia. The 80s was a magical fantasyland of a time.
Everyone seems to misspell her name, it was Tawny Kitaen. She and David Coverdale eventually got married and then divorced. She has unfortunately passed away. She stars in a few other Whitesnake videos, notably Still Of The Night and Here I Go Again. You should definitely react to those!
Wanna listen how David belts - Whitesnake "Still Of The Night". After that song my taste in music took complete turn.
David Coverdale's voice is incredible and the era of '80s power ballads were something truly special.
Also, Still of the Night is a must reaction because we would all love to see your thoughts on that song. RIP Tawny Kitaen!
Still of the Night - Rock on Brother!
Still of the Night. Maybe even Crying in the Rain.
RIP Tawny !! You put a smile on alot of young boys faces in the 80's.
I grew up in the eighties I miss it so much. I was a metal head but you also listened to all these awesome love songs. We didn't have all this technology. It was a awesome time. We would all get together on a Friday and Saturday night down by the river with 100 people and have a bon fire and just listen to all the rock and metal groups. Fun times 🎉😊
The Deeper the Love is an underrated gem, well worth a listen.
Totally agree!!! Love the song and the music video!!
Good song, but not very reaction-worthy, I think.
@@Zorros2ndCousinTwiceRemoved just as valid as this one imo but all reactors seem to do the same tracks - this one or ‘here I go again’ followed by ‘still of the night’. I think in some respects his vocal inflections are more interesting in ‘the deeper the love’ than either of the first two.
Personal taste granted, just a shame that most reactors seem to do the same songs.
@AdmiralDonkey yep! Again, I totally agree! That and the updated version of Fool For Your Loving. A deeper track from SOTT that's great also is Sailing Ships.
@@AdmiralDonkey That, however, is totally true. While I, too, would recommend SOTN simply because of the interesting song structure and the vocals - it IS a very unique song -, I have to agree with the rest.
That said, I also think there's a reason that TDTL didn't become as much of a hit as the 1987 songs, but of course opinions vary on that. 🙂
80's rock was the best. Today's rock doesn't even come close. Tawny Kittaen was every young kids, or even older men, crush.
David Coverdale is the lead vocalist... he was the former vocalist of Deep Purple in 70's and with the split of the group, he formed Whitesnake and Ritchie Blackmore (DP guitarist) and John Lord (DP keyboards) formed Rainbow.
You can hear more about him in some classic Deep Purple songs Burn, Soldier of Fortune and more
One of my favorite bands from the 80th when I was in your age Stacey.
I really love that you love it.
Whish you where there, you would love it. 🙂🤗😍🇸🇪
This is when music was full of Love.
Class of 87 representing, like the song
80's in music (and in film, but more in music) was a magical time. It was a time when music videos were something fairly new (they started to make real music videos with some kind of a storytelling in the late 70s, early 80's). So there was a lot of magic, theatricality and coolnes in them. It was an art form new to explore and they've explored it very much ;) Synthesiser sounds were fairly new as well so they were heavily used in almost everything and this made this era sound and look so magical and nostalgic. One of the music videos ever have been created in the 80's, I mean a video for Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. It looks amazing till this day.
"Love Aint No Stranger" is my favorite of Whitesnakes songs
What would be of Whitesnake's videos without Tawny Kitaen!!!!
She was a goddess, R.I.P.
Beautiful song and beautiful reaction❤
Keep on discovering more of this great band!
I could watch her vibe all day 🥰
'Here I Go Again' is my favourite song from Whitesnake. It was a super huge hit for them. Whitesnake are one of the bands that I grew up with in the wonderful 80's.
Great band!
This song and "The Deeper the Love" are total baby-making tunes! 😀I feel lucky to have had my teen years in the 80's. No smartphones or internet to distract from real life!
Ok, so we got Tawny and Stacey sharing the same screen.....Perfection! Blessings to you, Stacey!
Brought back memories. I knew the woman in the video "Tawny Kitaen". I did a film with her in 1984 called "Witchboard". Good memories. Unfortunately, she had a "tough stretch" in her life and she died too young. Great video and great commentary reaction Stacey, I'm an old dog now but a new fan of your channel.
Great Band !!! AND great reaction!!!🎸🤘❤️ SDS desde Chile 🇨🇱❤️❤️🎸
The guitar work by Sykes on the hole album is something else I’m really happy you noticed the guitar solo in this song I really enjoy your taste and even if you’re not a musician you got this keep it up!!!!
Good stuff Stacey!!! ❤
prior to forming Whitesnake, David Coverdale was the lead singer with Deep Purple (replacing Ian Gillan). Whitesnake were masters of the power ballad, although some of their earlier music was heavier. Try Fool for your Loving or Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City for older tracks.
Many young people I know share your feeling-they would have loved to experience that era. I enjoyed your reaction to the video and hope you continue to explore this band. Songs like "Here I Go Again," "The Deeper the Love," and "Still of the Night," among others, truly defined a generation. Keep up the great work!
The 80's were amazing. The growth of MTV. It totally influenced a generation.
i was 18 when 1980 arrived and for better and worse lol...came of age in the 80's...had my first true girlfriend in the early 80's and met my eventual wife in 1987.....just like any other era...it had its ups and downs....its good points and bad ones!! Thank you for your wonderful reaction young lady!!....its very much appreciated!!
80s music was vibey. Each type of music, even pop, could take you to a different mood, a different time and place, a different reality.
My wife LOVES this song! It’s a great song, done well. That album featured Tawny Kittan in all the videos.
Is This Love is a song by the British-American rock group Whitesnake. This song was released in 1987 as the second single from the album. The single peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single was re-released in 1994 to promote Whitesnake's Greatest Hits album. This version reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart. Is This Love. The songs appear on several of their live albums including Live: In the Shadow of the Blues (2006), and Live at Donington 1990 (2011). The song also reached number 13 on Billboard's mainstream rock chart upon release.
This song is truly underrated....
Love the 80s. Hip hop. Rap. You name it. All the 80s were the best.
I was 20 in 1980 and a DJ at a nightclub. Disco was going out, and hair metal was very popular. Some great music in all genres came out during this time. Back then, raido stations still did their own programming. So you could hear new stuff all the time.
Raido today is so controlled that you hear only what they deem worthy and most of it sucks. There is some good rock coming out now. Bands like the warring are leading a rock comeback.
The guy playing the guitar solo is Vivian Campbell he’s been playing for Def Leppard since the early 90s .
John Sykes played guitar on the song "Is This Love" by Whitesnake.
Almost all of the songs on the 87 album , were recorded on guitar by John Sykes . I believe Adrian Vandenberg did some little things here and there , to finish it up 100% . But most all of it on guitar was John Sykes .
The guitar player for the solo is John Sykes. That round and super warm tone that starts it is called his "Woman tone". The name should be self explanatory. 😉
Sykes and the band's singer and founder, David Coverdale, just had a magical chemistry for this album. There is a reason this album was one of the best of the decade.
Man, Whitesnake is 🥰. John Sykes, one of my favorite guitar players ever!!!!
The lady is Tawny Kitaen (1961 ‑ 2021) she was the girlfriend/wife of the lead singer depending on the time frame. You should check out “still of the night” or better yet “here I go again” the best song.
A rock band from the 80's when actual videos were on MTV. This style of music is sometimes referred to as hair metal back in the day which were my high school days, and it evokes memories of that time in my life. Power ballads like this were done by many bands like Steelheart and White Lion and many others. Let me know if you need more info on 80's music which was the best decade of my life!!! Those two, David Coverdale and Tawney Kittan, were dating at that time and I don't know if they ever married. I have all this type of music on LP. This style of rock started to fade in late 80's and early 90's as grunge and similar music gained popularity. A tragedy in my opinion.
Arguably the best power ballad of all time imo. Could listen to this on repeat all day! That guitar solo is epic. Whitesnake are great! Tawny Kitaen was absolutely stunning too. Her and Olivia Newton John ( late 70s era see A little More Love studio video) were two of the most beautiful women to ever walk this earth. Love your reaction. So much enthusiam for the 80s! :)
You got it Stacey! The 80’s were the best!
Coverdale is one of the best, powerful voices in rock. Listen to Deep Purple's Burn. And Stacy you captured the '80s in your description of it!
I used to sing this to my cat, Mr Fluffernutter. "Is this fluff...that I'm feeling"😂😂 man i miss that cat
I was 10 years old in 1987. Have been listening to this tune and album ever since. LOVE this guitar solo and always have! I don't play guitar often but need to fire it up and play some John Sykes magic 😜
The great thing about the 80s is that, regardless of what real world problems we had, there was always the sense that things were good, that life was worth living, there was a hopefulness and almost playful sense, and we always were told that if we went for it, checked it out, and put forth the effort, we could do anything. A lot of those slogans like go for it were even in our TV shows (Knight Rider comes to mind). These days, everything's negative, everyone has to buy into narratives, everyone talks in metaphors and don't actually say what they mean, and reality is relative and forever the victim. Not that everyone does this, but our mainstream culture is like this. For guys like me (GenX), I do think we had it the worst, because we got to live in an era where our society wasn't like this, and we had to watch it turn into what it is now. Younger folks didn't get to experience things as they were in this era, so they didn't have it slowly rot away from them. Thank God we have the internet at least, so we can see and listen to our favorites from that era to give us that reminder of what life used to be like.
My favorite tune from them is Fool For Your Lovin'. David wailing with his voice and Steve wailing with his guitar. In one word, POWER!
A big song for sure.... originally written by Coverdale for Tina Turner.... and once his management heard the demo, they were like "er......nope, you're going to cut this one yourself. Tina aint getting her mitts on this".
And the more you listen to it, the more you could hear Tina singing it.
Hello, Stacey! "Is This Love" by Whitesnake is amazing and really takes me back in time. It's unavoidable, especially if you were a rock kid like me in that era. I had this album and the song is incredible. Tawny Kitaen was beautiful. The first time I saw her was on the Ratt "Out of the Cellar" album cover in '84. Everything else has already been said, but it brings back so many memories! Thanks for the reaction. Cheers!
This was the song played when we walked in to get married, we left the ceremony to one of their other tracks, give me all your lovin tonight
Whitesnake singer was the band Deep Purple singer before he join whitesnake.
He sang, "Soldiers of Fortune", "Sail away" with glen hughes, "gypsy".
He is the low voice in the band.
join no. will create whitesnake
I grew up in the 80s, it was an incredible time. I wish I could go back and stay there... Check out "Still of the Night" and "Here I Go Again"!
And Bad Boys & Looking For Love, also Children Of The Night
R. I. P. Tawni Kitaen!! a super sexy video vixen also was an actress that played in bachelor party with Tom Hanks. Tawni Kitaen and David Coverdale, who is the singer for Whitesnake, we’re married at one time.
Tawni Kitean also was on the cover for Ratts
“Out of the Cellar” album.
Man! I got into the 80s scene in like hahah late 2000s but I promise you almost every song was a ballad or had to be one. Music back then was so damn good back to back bangers
Glad you enjoyed this one Stacey. This song is one of the core memories from young adulthood....Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Poison, Van Halen, Def Leppard. Amongst so many other forming the basis for at least part of my musical taste. And yes like others have mentioned also a major crush for a time with their choice of model opposite David Coverdale in this music video. 🤣A lot of great covers on TH-cam of this song, one I enjoy especially is a semi acoustic version by Sershen & Zaritskaya who now go by NOAPOLOGY with their original music.
Number 2 in the Billboard charts December 19 1987, right between George Michaels "Faith" and Whitney Houston's "So Emotional"
Sucks to be them.
Thank god for 80’s music.
Bonjour Stacey ❤!!! Cool the 80s , i like this song !!! Perfect as Always 👌!!! thanks for everything ❤!!!
Stacey opened up another catalogue of classic rock from another band that rocked hard. You'll enjoy exploring Whitesnake girl. Rock on🤘
80's rock! Nothing better. ❤
Still of the night, please! You won’t be disappointed. Their best song.
Love, Love This Reaction Stacey!!! You hit the nail on the head, when you said this song was the epitome of the 80's. Like others have commented below, next song to check out is Whitesnake - Still of the Night (Official Music Video). Guitar World Magazine wrote that "Still of the Night was the best song that Led Zeppelin never wrote". Rock On Stacey!🤘😎🤘
Ah yes Tawny. The fantasy of every 80s teenage boy❤
Another awesome British soft rock/metal group.. That broke into America.
P.S. 3:45 that's Tawny Kitaen his wife. Married in 89 separated & divorced 2 years later. RIP 1961~2021
She was so beautiful. So very much agree
In addition to the Whitesnake songs people will recommend, Dave Coverdale was known for being an excellent cover of Robert Plant, to the point that he and Jimmy Page did an album together later on (Coverdale-Page). It has a number of monster songs that are well worth experiencing, from wacky/sexy little fun hits like "Shake My Tree" and "Pride and Joy" to the serious blues-rocker "Absolution Blues" and ESPECIALLY the heart-rending metal piece "Whisper a Prayer for the Dying" which I think you would really appreciate. Jimmy brought a number of riffs that he'd been developing since his Led Zeppelin days, and David just freaking wokked and roared the vocals.
Yah, "Whisper a Prayer for the Dying" is what I'd recommend. It so good, and it hurts so real, and the execution of it is just freaking perfect on all fronts. It's kinda like an evil twin to "Kashmir"
Beautiful lady and fantastic reaction ❤
WHITESNAKE: STILL OF THE NIGHT, and HERE I GO AGAIN, should be next reactions video.
You’re awesome 😎
Keep it up 👍
Its,crazy to think back,to the height of the "Hair Metal"era. You could turn on the pop radio station, in your car,and hear these bands on that station,along with Duran Duran,Madonna, and Michael Jackson!!!
Tawny Kitaen played Tom Hank's fiancee' in the movie "Bachelor Party" (1984).
Magical is the right word! Not one other decade hit me in my feelings like the 80s! Even some 80s cheese for some reason works for me!
Whitesnake lead singer David Coverdale and the late Tawny Kitaen were married on this day (February 17th) in 1989. Unfortunately, it didn't last long, and they were divorced in April 1991. Sadly, Kitaen passed away on May 7, 2021 from heart disease at the age of 59.
5:52 the guitar solo of John Sykes
Tawny was also on the album cover of Ratt’s, Out Of The Cellar!
Here I go again on my own… another beautiful Whitesnake song.
The lead singer is David Coverdale. He was married to the girl in the video Tawny Kitean. She sadly passed away.
This will Be On my forever Playlist,,, Ty for reacting to This..
One of my favourites, who better to watch listen to it than you, makes me emotional, being a teenager in the 80’s I feel like the luckiest person.
Ahhhh Tawny Kittain every teenage boy from the 80s dreamed about her. She was married to David Coverdale the lead singer. You should do Hero I Go Again, In The Still of The Night, Slide It In(yes it’s exactly what it sounds like), Slow and Easy.
i was born 1972, loved the 80s, even though my favorite whitesnake song is fool for your loving, i think the ballads are cool to, Dave Coverdale is one of the top metal singers ever
Stacey, you're quite beautiful yourself!!!❤ great song from Whitesnake.
80s and 90s music, not other music ever will be matched of this ERA.
Many comments about Tawny. Also some suggestions for still of the night. Every time I hear that song and see the video I love the guitar played with a violin bow. Loved your reaction Stacey
THE 80's...
For those of us who grew up in it, no more words are needed.... or you could just sum it up in one: "MAGIC"
A unique time in the world that sadly will never happen again...
Best time in the world to be a kid/teen
Beautiful ballad song from 80s .... I was been there at my teenage years.
Amazing reaction.. definitely love to see you check out their song Still of Night ..it's a 80 anthem
it is!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P.to the beautiful Tawny Kittan!!!!!!!!
Well now you have to do “still of the night” and here I go again to finish the 3 that pretty much go hand-in-hand! another great one is loving no stranger always enjoy your reactions Stacey
An absolutely legendary band and David Coverdale would have to be considered amongst the greatest rock vocalists of all time. Strongly.... STRONGLY recommend the song Still Of The Night from the Live In The Still Of The Night concert dvd, from 2004. Or pretty much any track from that dvd, really.
This was our wedding song ❤❤
This song saved my life when i was down 🙏
Great song right down my musical ally great job
Another great song choice Stacey and. DEEP PURPLE connection with vocalist David Coverdale.
'87 CRUE-Snake tour back in the day! RIP Tawny...classic movie 'Bachelor Party!
Very sad Tawny leave our earth living. R.I.P.
Well .... Whitesnake was huge in the 80's. This song is from the Whitesnake 1987. Their best album
This was a popular slow dance song during my Jr High & High School days 92’
this was my grade 8 graduation song voted on by the students the women would just melt to this song back in the day 😅 Do def leppard next WOMAN 😊
