Thank you so much for reacting to Still of The Night. My husband passed away in 2018 of cancer, he was only 57. This was his favorite song of the 80s. When I hear this song it feels like he's with me listening to it. 😢❤

Whitesnake is David Coverdales band after Deep Purple broke up in 1976. He was joined by Ian Pace on drums and John Lord on keyboard from Deep Purple, Neil Murray on bass and Mickey Moody and Bernie Marsden on guitars. That was the first official live setting of Whitesnake that played a very blues based hard rock. This is the 1987 setting with a bit more on the early metal/hard rock style. The model Tawny Kitaen from the video, ended up marrying David Coverdale. They were married between 1989 and 1991. She died at her home in 2021 of a heart disease.

And Vivian Campbell.

[@raymo6795]

Sykes is awesome. Never got enough credit. This album was his baby, and di not tour to support it. I believe Adrienne Van Denberg and Vivian did the tour and the video....by most accounts, Coverdale is dickhead. Unfortunately, Sykes has little interest in performing..too bad...Blue Murder had a few great albums

[@christophermccaig4521]

John Sykes is phenomenal!! Love his Blue Murder stuff. Ptolemy is my favorite Blue Murder song.

[@billc.5861]

Funny factoid Vivian Campbell did not play guitar on this album only in the video John Skyes was a guitar player and one song with Adrian Vandenberg Tommy Aldridge didn’t play the drums on the song only in the video - Ansley Dunbar was the drummer on the album Rudy Sarzo also didn’t play bass on this album only in the video Neil Murray was the basis on this album Crazy but true

[@raymo6795]

@@billc.5861 …I think this album was mostly Sykes baby…lyrics and music. But Coverdale,somehow,dicked over Sykes, and replaced him with Vandenberg and Campbell for the tour and the videos. My recollection is vague, it was 35 years ago. But Sykes was a great talent, a great player and a good voice. I prefer the Blue Muder albums to any of the WhiteSnake albums with Van den Berg, Campbell or Vai . WS never had a better than the Sykes album…in my opinion…..all great players, but the Sykes album was their masterpiece, and the Sykes influence was sorely missed on their other albums…in my opinion.✌️🎸

[@gerib4234]

Summer of '87, my sister and I cruising in my mom's Ford Pinto heading to Circle In The Square in Shreveport to see Pantera, with this song blaring as loud as a Ford Pinto could crank. I'll never forget it. A great time to be alive and young!

I saw them in Dallas when they were promoting SLIDE IT IN. David Coverdale joked that his mom asked if their next album would be all love songs? He said it would be a lovely collection of love songs, and the album title will be "PULL IT OUT, WIPE IT OFF AND SLIDE IT BACK IN AGAIN."

John Sykes was the guitarist on this album, love his sound and style so much, he made this Whitesnake album so epic with his talent as a song writer. He is phenomenal. After Whitesnake he went on to form the band Blue Murder and really further showed his talent as both guitarist and vocalist and he pushed his epic song writing skills to the max, their self titled debut album is still one of my all time favorite albums… Their second album Nothin’ but Trouble had a bit of a different feel in some of their songs, but still a really really great album…

John Sykes was first part of the group Tygers of Pan Tang in the very early 80's (British Metal) and then spent time with Thin Lizzy from which came their heaviest album "Thunder and Lightening". He is remarkably skillful at constructing melodic rock tracks (and has a great singing voice) but probably has never been given the credit he deserves.

[@taylormartin90]

Rudy Sarzo was rocking out on the bass with his great tone and signature moves

[@marilyncatterall402]

Sigature moves, yes. Tone, not at all. Neil Murray played the bass on this song, and the rest of the album. Rudy came in for the videos and tour only.

[@gregwasserman2635]

John Sykes co-wrote and played guitar on this song. Sykes was also the guitars from the band Tygers of Pan Tang as well as for Thin Lizzy on theor "Thunder and Lightning", an killer album that rocked! Sykes also played the guitar with a bow in the solo, a la Jimmy Page. Check out the song Slow 'an Easy off Whitesnake's "Slide It In" album. More of a blues rock song. Megadeth had been around before this song came out. If you want to hear something that will melt you face off, listen to "The Conjuring".

[@terrylandess6072]

With long time members leaving, David carried the name Whitesnake with him and built this 'supergroup'. I saw this tour and enjoyed seeing veteran musicians from other groups all together with David completely owning this album. David also has comedic chops as he grabbed a drink and stepped up to the microphone while the rest of the band took a small break halfway through the show. He proceeded to tell a few dirty jokes which had the guys laughing and the ladies giggling. I got my money's worth.

[@robertoblanco1648]

Gracias por la reacción...David Coverdale es the best.....

[@williamreiser3118]

Styles Blues, Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal

[@lloyderc]

I remember when this came out. The change up was amazing . Everyone was jamming to it.

[@bozeeke]

I'd say it is more 80s hard rock/metal-ish, but since it was one of their heavier songs I can see where there's some thrash metal elements or riffs that can pass for that style. The lead singer David Coverdale was around since the 70s and had a brief stint in legendary 70s hard rock band Deep Purple. He formed Whitesnake as a bluesy rock band in the late 70s and then transitioned their sound to this cross between adult contemporary pop and hard rock which is what their signature sound is for the most part IMO. And yes, as others already mentioned, the model in the video was his girlfriend (possibly wife for a while) back then. She was in several more of their videos. Check out "Here i Go Again" and "Is This Love" if you haven't already.

[@umainebearman]

There's literally nothing in this song or any White snake song that resembles thrash. 😂😂

[@bozeeke]

@@umainebearman some of the chugga chugga riffage stuff in this song could be seen as a proto-thrash-esque prequel of sorts. But generally not most songs. I consider Whitesnake 80s hard rock meets adult contemporary.

David Coverdale is considered a vocal god. He was discovered at 19 and became the lead singer for Deep Purple, arguably the biggest band in the world! His chops are way up there with the greatest! Slow N Easy would be next. You would obviously know their biggest song …Here I Go Again… as it’s used in commercials and movies all the time!

[@JedLemon38]

My hometown boy Mike Devin played bass for Whitesnake for 10 years (2010-2020). Coverdale is a sweet, classy gentleman with pipes of gold (though getting rusty as he ages). A good example of a song that shows his matured voice is Forevermore from 2013. Great heavy ballad

[@tinaortega8067]

[@DavidLender]

David Coverdale, in my opinion, was one of the best frontmen ever. He had a way of working the stage and the audience. They originally started as more blues/rock in Europe and Japan in the late 70's and early 80's. They got pretty big over there but Coverdale had a habit of rotating out the other members of the band. Some from artistic disagreements, others from legal reasons. I think it gave Coverdale a new set of creative players to work with and kept his music fresh. Songs you need to listen to: Here I go again Is This Love Slide It In Slow and Easy Deeper The Love Fool for Your Loving

When Deep Purple broke up in 1976, David Coverdale (vocals) and Jon Lord (Keyboards) started Whitesnake in 1978 with Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden and others. the former drummer from Deep Purple Ian Pace joined the band a couple of years later. The band didn't have immediate success until around 1980 with Fool for your loving. but bigger success happened in 1984 with the Slide it in album. There are so many ties to other bands besides Deep Purple. dig deep into their family tree to see more. keep Jamin!

David Coverdale is the lead vocalist. He collaborated with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and did an album called Coverdale Page. Check out that album. Very Zeppelin sounding. In fact, Whitesnake started out playing Zeppelin tunes early before becoming famous. You can hear the Zeppelin rhythms in this song alone. Not to mention the use of the bow by this lead guitarist.
