[@stevonic719]

Its not real. The sound we're hearing is a synthetic. The neck of the guitar lacks the curvature necessary to hit each string. You can play the guitar with a bow but it wouldn't sound CLOSE to this. Cool for a video though

[@rtact777]

Definitely was waiting for it ... I always thought it was a violin or something else until I read about how he did that

[@packracer515]

It’s actually done manipulating the volume knob while hammering on the strings. Although, Adrienne Vandenberg did play it with a bow live. Saw it with my own eyes when they opened for Motley Crue in 1987.

The guitar player with the violin bow is miming to the keyboard solo played by Don Airey. He also does the keyboard intro to Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne.

The woman you see in the video eventually married the lead singer, David Coverdale. The marriage did not last long and she recently died a few months ago. Her name was Tawny Kitaen. And yes the guitarist is using a violin bow, reminiscent of Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. They had several hits in the 80s. "Here I Go Again" is one of our favorites.

"Slide It In" "Love Ain't No Stranger" "Here I Go Again" "Spit It Out" Just off the top of my head. Singer David Coverdale is often compared to Robert Plant. Guitarists Adrian Vandenberg and Steve Vai both used a violin bow on their guitars in concert for this song. Their stage show was incredible. I'm so glad I got to see them more than once! To my knowledge, Jimmy Page was the first to use a bow on a guitar with any noteriety.

[@ronforeman2556]

Grr! I've given up trying to correct commenters on the violin bow thing. Guitarist John Sykes, who co-wrote all but two songs on the 1987 "Whitesnake" album, DID NOT PLAY THAT PART OF THE SOLO WITH A VIOLIN BOW! The director had the poser guitarist, Adrian Vandenberg, mime it with a bow because they thought it would look cool.

You know what else is funny?? Anyone over 50 wearing a concert shirt. Let the kids be. They’re wearing what gets sent to them. Let’s just be glad this generation is hearing our tunes and enjoying them!! 🎵🎶

[@alrivers2297]

@@angier5775 nothing wrong with people 50 and older wearing shirts of their favorite artists. You might as well say they shouldn't be listening to the music either. If you're still listening to the music you can still wear the shirts. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[@michaelbublitz9315]

It could be worse - he could be wearing a Deep Purple shirt!

[@tedwoollens1515]

My fave was Judgment Day... I saw them live in 1987 and was shocked when he used a violin bow with the guitar, It was an amazing show.

[@garrison10461]

I saw Whitesnake when they were touring in support of this album. They absolutely kicked ass.

[@bryancue2238]

That breakdown in the middle is probably my most favorite section of any 80's hair metal song.

AGREED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewawakened628]

Whitesnake was huge in the 80's...they had actually been around from the 70s but modernized their sound during the 80s and became really big for awhile. You've definitely heard at least one of their biggest hits but just don't know it yet - its called "Here I go Again"

[@westyw.4235]

I wore several of their cassettes out playing them incessantly lol.

[@reneeallen3569]

One of the best songs to come out of the 80’s

[@klownboxer2326]

David Coverdale was in his first band in 1966. He hit it big when he joined Deep Purple in the 70's. BTW Deep Purple along with Rainbow are other bands that had an awesome rotations of lead singers and great musicians

[@leetroy3129]

Deep Purple is not Deep Purple without Ian Gillan.

[@darrylcabe2494]

White Snake was very big in the 80's. Another 80's group that was big is Great White. Lots of great songs but one of my favorites is "House Of Broken Love' Great drums, guitar and, lyrics.

[@mset510]

I got to see them LIVE way back in 1987 when I was 15 years old! They opened for Motley Crue on their Girls Girls Girls tour. It ROCKED

When this came out on MTV, my brother and I (latch key kids) would come home from school and tune straight to MTV. The bow on the guitar blew our minds. We shook the house while mom/dad were at work.

[@claudettesmith8328]

David Coverdale is the lead vocals. Since you liked this you must continue with "The complications of copulation" as David called it. Slow&Easy, Slide It In,Spit It Out (no grey area what they're singing about). Here I Go Again is their biggest hit song. They were great in concert too!

MY FAVORITE BAND..David Coverdale, lead singer, was lead singer for deep purple

[@sopdox]

Most of Whitesnake’s song are sexual innuendo or just blatant. I mean, they have a song called Slide it In, and yes, it’s about…money. But for a different vibe, listen to Sailing Ships. I think it’s one of their best and most underrated songs. Oh, and if you listen to the song 1985 by Bowling for Soup, there’s a line, “She was gonna be an actress, she was gonna be a star She was gonna shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake's car”

[@surreal1272]

Sailing Ships is a Masterpiece. Coverdale with Vai? What could possibly go wrong with that?

[@altstu2]

the lead singer is David Coverdale...if you like his singing, his first group was Deep Purple...I believe the guitar player using the bow on his guitar is Adrian Vandenberg...interesting fact the woman in the video was Coverdale's wife at the time, Tawny Kitaen...she was in a few movies in the 80s and 90s

[@EliasGSerrano]

All the guitars in that album were recorded by John Sykes, who left the band shortly after.

[@John_Locke_108]

And he teamed up with Jimmy Page as Coverdale Page.

[@kevinjenkins3564]

Coverdale was married to Tawny Kitaen. She was most notably in Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks. She passed away May 7, 2021. 2 months ago. RIP Tawny Kitaen.

[@toddvandell85]

80s Hair Metal. Definitely. But a monster groove. Watch lead singer David Coverdale spin the microphone stand. Amazing. And no one takes off a leather jacket like David does. (Funny thing though? The band that recorded this song on their eponymous album from 1987 all got fired. David axed them all. They tried to replace him in *his* band while he was recovering from a bad sinus infection for 6 months that affected his ability to sing. So the band in the videos didn't play the songs on the 1987 album, oddly enough, although they did play the tour. John Sykes played guitar on the album. Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell took over on guitar for the videos and that tour. Neil Murray played bass on the album. He was Whitesnake's longest lasting bassist. Rudy Sarzo is the bassist in the videos. Aynsley Dunbar played drums on the album. Tommy Aldridge played lead drums and lead stick spins in the videos and in concert. And Rudy and Tommy played on the 1989 hit album "Slip of the Tongue." But Steve Vai played all the guitar parts, because Adrian Vandenberg had injured his hands and couldn't play the songs he wrote with David. Oh. The late Tawny Kitaen was the lady dancing throughout their 80s videos. She was married to Whitesnake's lead singer and founder, David Coverdale, for about 3 years. 1987's album was lyrically almost all about Tawny. As was the follow-up album from 1989, *Slip of the Tongue.* Although I believe that David and Tawny were in the early throes of their divorce by then. (A great song that was not included on 1987, but is on their greatest hits, "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again", is worth a listen for sure. Very intense high energy song. (Not to be confused with their older but similarly named, sonically different song, "Don't Break My Heart Again.") Tawny passed away this year, just months from her 60th birthday. They still have not said how she died. She had substance abuse issues for many years. And I wouldn't be surprised if she committed suicide. Just thinking out loud, since I don't know. Great reaction to an awesome song. Been a David Coverdale fan since he took over lead vocals in Deep Purple for 3 studio albums, and a couple live albums. His earlier Whitesnake albums before the hair metal thing kicked in were a bit more bluesy, blues rock. Less metal, really. More hard Rock. (Lead guitarist John Sykes gave Whitesnake its metal edge.) Although they did a very deeply funky cover of The Beatles hit "Day Tripper" back in the 70s. Also worth listening to.
