Never heard soft rock to describe whitesnake. Wonder if Izzy would be soft rock if she heard the ballads

[@chrisrose3967]

Soft rock describes bands like Toto Chicago or Fleetwood Mac. Whitesnake were blues rock up to the 1987 record and Hard Rock with some glam afterwards. But it’s only logical to come to that conclusion if you only have listened to Here i go again or Is this love

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Check out “1985,” by Bowling For Soup. Whitesnake is not soft rock. They were a hair band. This song is a Power Ballad. Every 80’s hair band had at least one. Soft rock is Air Supply. 🤣🤣🤣

[@riverdart2068]

Whitesnake were/are a lot more than a hair band

David Coverdale sure had a powerful singing voice. He had a long and illustrious career and owned the 80s hair rock decade with swinging “rhythm and rock” ballads such as this one. He had many hit songs. Cheers Britt 🍺

[@Frostrazor]

RIP Tawny. My first celebrity crush and the only woman ever to hang on my walls. There's a song "1985" by Bowling for Soup where they mention a line about a woman having dreams of someday dancing on Whitesnake's car. Great pop-culture lyrics in that song.

So many of the great hair bands of the 80’s were made fun of for their hair and clothes. But as the years passed they all changed their tunes. Realizing how amazing these singers were and now they’re sorely missed and desperately needed today. The ballad rock of the 80’s were just on a different level and it to several decades later for people to see what it was and gave us. They were truly great musicians.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

You made me smile when you talked about R 'n' B music because Whitesnake were termed to be Rhythm and Blues when they started out. They had a great pairing of guitarists Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden who were just phenomenal together. Back in the 80's I had the great fortune to get to see Micky do a lovely, intimate, solo session at a local rock club - just him sitting on a barstool with his guitar and an amp - proper musician doing musician things! I don't think I even had to pay over the normal cover charge to get in; he just did it because he wanted to play. He was one of the influences, along with David Gilmour and Tony Iommi on my own playing - but I never got to see if my playing would ever amount to anything as I was in a near-fatal motorcycle accident that came within a whisker of losing me my right arm and I have never been able to play well ever since (the timing is thrown off by the damage as I have to pivot from the elbow rather than the wrist). The last time I saw Whitesnake was when I won a competition for tickets from a radio show and it is a treasured memory of a wonderful night with my wife ... altho' she *so* wanted to take David home with us :lol: I said that was fine as long as she found Tawny for me :D

[@DerekSansone]

70s & 80s kids had it pretty good w/music.

[@jackbrooks5487]

Tawny Kitaen (1961-2021) starred in the horror cult classic film "Witchboard" and with Tom Hanks in "Bachelor Party" as well as several other movie roles, a soap opera, television appearances, and music videos for Ratt and Whitesnake. She was a very beautiful and talented but troubled lady. Rest in peace, Tawny.

[@verdanhorea9444]

Tawny, the girl in the video, made this one of the most iconic videos of the 80s. It's referenced in movies and TV shows. Her poster was very popular.

I have just recently found your channel. It has been great watching you enjoy all the music I knew growing up in the 70s and 80s. It also has made me miss my cassette collection that I had to leave behind when I moved to UK.

[@kristinabushnell3652]

Fun Fact: The original lyrics of this song were "like a hobo i was born to walk alone". The song was a flop. They changed one little word to drifter and it was a hit. Great reaction!! 😊

[@funinlv32]

Slide It In one of the greatest albums of the 80s.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

After Deep Purple split up David Coverdale formed Whitesnake in 1978. Jon Lord keyboardist, and Ian Paice drummer from Deep Purple a bit later also joined David in Whitesnake. They were a Blues Based Rock Band as were most around that time. Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden joined as guitarists and Neil Murray on bass. There was some shuffling of band members throughout the years of the early lineup but Coverdale, Moody, and Marsden were consistently there through about 1984. David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden became writing partners on most of the songs throughout the early lineup. Then David decided to go after the American market which was the Heavy Metal/Glam Metal later referred to as Hair Metal or Hairband music. Most of what were to become Whitesnake’s biggest hits were re-recordings from the earlier lineup from 1978-1984, including “Here I Go Again”, and “Fool For Your Loving”. These were both Coverdale/Marsden songs. I personally prefer the earlier lineup and song versions. There are so many great songs from those early albums. “Don’t Break My Heart Again”, and one of my all time favorite songs is a beautiful song written by Coverdale that was on the 1980 album, Ready An’ Willing, “Blindman”. If you don’t ever do a reaction to it, please just listen and enjoy it. Another great song is from the 1979 album, Love Hunter, “Walking In the Shadow of the Blues”. “Blindman” An absolutely beautiful song! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnfCmK2XaMpnb9ksi=9oXrRcLBZWoC59iD

[@ryanmartin4053]

Love when you get in to the song and can’t help but dance and sing along. Those are the best reactions ❤❤

[@moleman1976]

At the beginning of the reaction, "power ballads" is the term you're looking for - when the hard rock / glam rock bands did a sentimental, slower song, it was considered a power ballad (that doesn't apply to this song, BTW). But "Is This Love" by the same band would apply. Most of the popular rock acts had at least one power ballad, and many of them were phenomenal songs! "Monster Ballads" was a collection sold via telemarketing in the late 90's that my friends and I bought, just to enjoy the great songs of some of the most popular acts of the late 80's and early 90's! You should have been alive then - you would have loved it. I can make recommendations if asked!

[@ISDExecutor71]

So many 80s bands filled their songs full of innuendo. Whitesnake were masters of this. “Slow and Easy” and “Slide It In” were amazing examples of this and great songs to boot. Dave and Tawny were dating at the time this video was made. I was so jealous of this man.

[@thetomgibson]

I was in junior high when the original version of this came out so for a few years “drifter” was “hobo” until this heavier version came out.

[@MusicOnly-y7g]

My favorite genre was R&B growing up but I loved soft rock, too. My parents listened to a lot of soft rock in late 80’s and early 90’s.

[@timothynewton4453]

You can get lost in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and some of the 90's genres of music, there's SO MUCH. There was an aura, mystique, a realness and grab to it. It was the vocals, the instruments, the presence, that is gone, hard to think there will ever be such. It was in your face and good. I'll continue to drift back because, and I don't care who says what, today's stuff ain't go it.

This song was huge in 1987 and cemented Whitesnake as my favorite band to this day! Ironically, there is a more R&B version of this song. They originally did it on a previous album (Saints and Sinners) and redid it to be more Rock for this album. In the R&B version he says hobo instead of drifter.

I was a sophomore in high school when this came out and this album was a major part of the soundtrack of those days. Thanks for bringing back all the great memories.

[@mikewilder8838]

I'm glad you mentioned that it could be and R&B song. As someone else has already suggested, Is This Love is another great choice. Coverdale wrote it for Tina Turner to sing, but his record company wanted Whitesnake to record it.

A side note about Tawny, if I remember hearing right they actually brought in Paula Abdul to come up with a dance routine for her but she actually blew them away with her own moves on the cars. I think she had a gymnastics background.

I have, for ~38 years sung it as 'Twister' and just learned today it was drifter. I ain't changing. Twister is badass.

Tawny Kitaen the woman who is dancing on the cars was married to the lead singer of WHITE SNAKE but they got a divorce only after 2 years. This is the song that I told my ex-wife was my song of my life up til then. She cried like a baby when I told her that and when she told her mother it they both sat in the car and bawled like babies until I came out to go home after work. Great song. Love the song even though I am no longer with the woman.

Tawny was imo the hottest thing to come out of the 80's. Lets just say she occupied a big space in my teenage brain. Drifter not twister. lol I believe the genre is hair-metal rock. It was very popular right up until grunge music happened. "More than Words" by Extreme had just hit and it was super popular. i loved it. Then "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana came out of nowhere (Seattle). I could not stand grunge music mainly because i hate change but more so that i could not understand the lyrics. I have since read the lyrics and still dont understand. I just felt bad for Extreme. They finally got a hit song and it was on top for about a week.
