WOW!| FIRST TIME HEARING Whitesnake - Slow An' Easy REACTION

[@vincentmartinez5379]

Love aint no stranger is another you all need to hear.

[@Ilikeryche]

Agreed.

[@kurtpflegl30]

Yes to this. Please do "Love Ain't No Stranger" next

[@RoGueNavy]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[@dawngipe6324]

One of my favs....

[@bobbyshazam583]

Was just going to suggest this!

[@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk]

Whitesnake are so bluesy, but with a heavy edge. David Coverdale is one of the great frontmen and vocalist of Rock n Roll! No dispute.

[@williamjamesayers7719]

Such a great era for music. Whitesnake kicked ass with this album.....slide it in.

[@nancysmith8626]

Not much subtlety to the album title, ha. But we loved it.

[@scottspears9347]

This was their best album

[@steve-de9bs]

Whitesnake was 1 of the most underated bands ever,got to love um.

[@Progressive_Canadian]

David Coverdale, the lead singer of Whitesnake, has one of the most iconic voices in rock. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence have defined the band's sound since their formation. "Slow an' Easy," one of their classic tracks, perfectly showcases his gritty yet soulful voice. The song's bluesy groove combined with Coverdale's raw energy makes it a timeless anthem in rock history. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering Whitesnake, "Slow an' Easy" is a must-listen.

[@tatemalmsteen]

David Coverdale is a legend! So is John Sykes!

[@diana-cy4kj]

Don’t forget Cozy Powell!

[@tuffs4it]

Might as well mention Jon Lord as well, though, most of his work is watered down on the American version of the album.

[@diana-cy4kj]

@@tuffs4it Yeah, the line up was crazy!

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

Don’t forget Tommy Aldridge

[@nitro_001newman2]

John Sykes solo on “Crying in the Rain” is amazing.

[@stevenlaurenson3755]

Loved Whitesnake since 1978,in my opinion David Coverdale is one of the best rock / blues singers ever. His voice covers an amazing 5.5 octaves. So distinctive.

[@diana-cy4kj]

I didn’t even realise that Cozy Powell played drums on this! And then there’s John Sykes on guitar! It doesn’t get any better!

[@bettyrose959]

There's two versions of this song. The UK version is Micky Moody the actual guitarist who wrote the song. John Sykes recorded the guitar for the US version here. He didn't write this.

[@richardtaylor8595]

Saw Whitesnake a few years ago and David Coverdale can still hit every note he did back in the day. Let's not forget he sang with Deep Purple and my favorite album is Storm bringer. That song would be a great one for you to check out.Stormbringer by Deep Purple. Whitesnake is one of my favorite bands, I am an old fart and I wish I had their albums in front of me. There are so many great songs I could request but my memory is not what it used to be.

[@Jude_196]

GREAT TUNE!!! This WAS TRULY A SONG of it's TIME!!! Takes me back to the clubbin' days in college!! ENJOY, YA'LL!!!

[@klipkultur3680]

''Slow And Easy'' and ''Slide It In'' are the two best Whitesnake songs, please do not argue...

Impossible TO argue! 🤘🤘

[@kimberlinibambini1968]

Same!

[@ccpbux]

Me too! I was on a double date with a buddy of mine in the backseat of his 1981 Camaro Z28 cruisin the local strip when I first heard this banger! Damn good times!! 💪🏻🤘

[@flipflop3937]

Same here,my first time hearing Whitesnake....every singe track on the album is a killer

[@spectreharlequin]

The lead singer David Coverdale did a 1 album collaboration with Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, the collab was called Coverdale-Page and there are some pretty good songs on the album like Shake my Tree, Pride and Joy, Over Now.

[@africanfartingfrog]

Take Me for a Little While

[@lorijohnston4311]

This is a painfully underrated 80s song -- so, so good! Slide It In needs to be next!

[@joy-jr7dg]

We wore that Slide It In cassette out driving around with my friends!!!🎶🎶🎵🎶

[@miguelbotelho2613]

Robert plant vibes , indeed... David .C actually did an album with Jimmy Page in the 90’s called Coverdale-Page.

[@loristone9242]

Loved your reaction to this song. Whitesnake is such an outstanding band and they are great live as well.

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

The guitarist later formed his own band called "Blue Murder". If you loved this song, you'd love the Blue Murder song "Jellyroll"! Check it out, you won't be sorry.

[@nancysmith8626]

I second this! "Jelly Roll" is an incredible song.

[@bobsteele9581]

The guitarist's name is John Sykes. Also before this he played with The Tygers of Pan Tang. "Love Potion No 9" by them is a classic and great fun.

[@LiberalsArePoop]

@fionnmaccumhaill3257 John Sykes was also Thin Lizzy's final guitarist appearing on their last studio album Thunder and Lightning. The album came out in 1983, and sadly, Phil would be dead just three years later.

[@kurtpflegl30]

Jelly Roll was great. Vally of the Kings was a good one too.

[@wxmaggot5669]

Valley of the Kings for the win!

[@bjdefilippo447]

Easily my favorite of theirs. Great to hear it again!

[@dionshare7103]

David Coverdale has always had one of those great rock voices.

[@lw3918]

80's metal is the best music ever made. Sex, drugs, rock & roll. Best decade ever! Best musicianship ever.

[@joeyfarrelli]

This is the real Whitesnake.

[@zzz7zzz9]

my favourite album is 'come and get it'.

[@Sethery306]

Whitesnake has a deep catalog! Check out “Children of the Night”, “Kittens got Claws”, “Crying in the Rain”, and many more!

[@bobsteele9581]

The drums on this song are played by the late, great Cozy Powell. One of the all time great rock drummers. He was also the drummer on the "Rainbow Rising" album featuring Rainbow's all-time classic "Stargazer" and his solo effort "Dance with the Devil" is well worth a listen. The drumming on that is truly phenomenal. Here's a link to him playing it at a Whitesnake concert : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDCl6tnjNibeaM&start_radio=1

[@markvetter6330]

" I know that hard luck and trouble is coming my way..." what a line !

[@nancysmith8626]

Yes! That line has always jumped out at me and defined the song's feel.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Give a hail out to the late Jon Lord (keyboards) and Cozy Powell (drums)... who played on this track 🤘🤘I believe this 1984 version was w/ John Sykes (guitar), Neil Murray (bass) and Mel Galley (guitar) ... The original track was written and recorded w/ guitarist Mick Moody. This song from the '84 album 'Slide it in' became one of Whitesnake's first hits in N. America... along w/ "Love ain't no stranger"... 🔥🔥

[@rickwelch8464]

This and Love Aint No Stranger are their two bangers imo. This entire album was stupid good.

[@davehess1019]

John Sykes on guitar, incredible guitar player, for some reason left the group and Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell got the credit for all the great music John Sykes wrote

[@davidolson2729]

Not for some reason, Coverdale wanted to be the star and booted Sykes because he would pull attention away from Coverdale. What could have been if his ego wasn’t so big. It could have been a Jagger/Richards, Plant/ Page or even a Roth/ Van Halen combo that would have kicked ass for a while.

[@Ramonafloyd]

No he got writing credit , but him and David didn't get along and they got big when the hair bands were pretty, so of course he changed the image to reflect that and then married his wanna be rock goddess Tawny that didn't last .I met him and he was nice and Tommy Aldridge was super nice and Vivan Campbell was also very cool. I do miss the Slid it in Era of Whitesnake though.

[@Ramonafloyd]

Cozy Powell on drums R.I.P and Jon Lord and Neil Murray

[@rogerdaly6326]

After the album that had the big hits (often called 1987) was finished being recorded John Sykes returned home to England. Coverdale wanted him to fly back and rerecord the solo for Here I Go Again. John refused as he was happy with what he recorded. Coverdale called in Vandenberg to rerecord the solo. Before the tour and any video's were made Coverdale fired the band you see in this video , which is the band that recorded 1987 album. Coverdale handpicked Vivian Campbell , Adrian Vandenberg , Rudy Sarzo & Tommy Aldridge to be in the videos & do the tour. When Sykes formed Blue Murder afterwards we got to hear his great singing voice to add to his killer guitar playing. Its possible Coverdale felt a little competition in Sykes and decided to nip it in the bud. Three sides to every story - Coverdales , the bands & the truth. Its a shame cause they were good together.

[@nancysmith8626]

@@rogerdaly6326 Forgot about all of that complicated mess with the band. It is a shame, they were good together. Oh well, I like Whitesnake in any iteration!

[@stevenkmiller]

Man I've been waiting for this one. I love these songs that start slow and build up, like For Those About to Rock, Stairway, the long version of She Sells Sanctuary and Fire Woman. Knockin at Your Back Door from Deep Purple is another slow burn. Thanks for doing what you do.

I haven't heard this forever. I gotta listen to it again

[@dmb70]

Slide It In is their best album IMO any song from it is a winner.

[@catmanduu66]

This is the actual Whitesnake band in this video. The one you see in the 87 videos were hired just for the videos since David didn't think his actual band had the right image. They did become the most iconic videos of the eighties so he had some point. This song comes from the album Slide it In. You should react to that song and Spit it Out. If you are wondering, yes both songs are about love making.

[@80zrockchicken]

There had been a number of Whitesnake line up changes before the line up you see in this video. One of the reasons the guitarist you see in this video, John Sykes was brought in was for his all round guitar hero looks/image.

[@jessejamessimons483]

All right my babies.... I was privileged to see this band at least eight times. Never a disappointment and a great reaction ‼️💯🔥🎤🎸🥁🎹🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@Rocker1983]

Yes, this is an arena rocker! They had a great show when I caught them in the early 80s, David Coverdale was charismatic and could hit every note just like the record.

Finally back to some quality 80's hard rock. Been missing the hard rock/metal roots of this channel a lot lately, so this was a welcome change. For more Whitesnake from this same era, I suggest "Love Ain't No Stranger."

[@TomEMaddox]

Still amazed that you have never reacted to The Babys after all of these years. You did John Waite with Bad English. You did John Waite solo but never his first group or their top 20 hits Isn't It Time and Every Time I Think of You. Oh, and while he was not in the band at the time of those songs, Journey's keyboardist Jonathon Cain was in that band before joining Journey. Another band you really need to give another look is Night Ranger. You reacted to Sister Christian, which was their popular power ballad but was not indicative of their normal music. Don't Tell Me You Love Me rocks with the best of them and had killer guitar solos.

[@debbiesmith2651]

Agree! Babys were late 70's, early 80's. My favorites are Midnight Rendezvous, Looking For Love, Turn and Walk Away and Silver Dreams. Most people know that Jonathan Cain went on to Journey and wrote some of their best songs back in the day, Faithfully among them. Also if note, Walt Stocker went on to play with Rod Stewart for quite a while. John Waite had his solo career also. Best album is Union Jacks IMO.
