He was so good. Underrated guitarist! I wonder how he would of done in Deep Purple

[@davidsmith-lg1eo]

This will always be the best version. What a great group of musicians.

[@sarabsawhney]

Agree

[@hsevay]

The Steve Vai version is good, but, even though I've listened to this version after the Vai version, somehow I like this one a whole lot more. Maybe it's because this recording has classic rock guitar sound, even though Vai's playing is beyond excellent on the other recording.

[@bluesdoc4273]

The 2nd version is better - and I'll explain why..... This version has that "definite" classic rock" sound !! However, I like the better the 1989 remake with Steve Vai. ( Steve Vai's playing is fantastic - BUT THAT'S NOT THE REASON WHY ) ------------------------------------------------------------- In the 1989 remake, David Coverdale's voice is amazing. He pushes himself and gives a more dynamic performance. The 1989 version has stronger/kick ass singing from David Coverdale !!!

Love the bass by Neil Murray. Took me years to realise what was unique about his bass line...he sneaked in a couple of 7ths. Gave it a Jazz feel, just for a few seconds here and there. Love it x

[@MrClassicmetal]

Yes, it's a great song and the bass line really stands out!

[@gustavohpk]

This is a great song. I am a guitar player for 10 years, and I learned to play listening and trying to play metal and "modern hard rock" songs. But I think the early Whitesnke sound (78-84) like this is much better than what it became after 1985. Today I really like much more hard rock like this: overdriven guitar, but not fully distorted and heavy, good bass line, drums without double bass playing the entire song, and vocals without screaming all the time. In fact I became a fan of "blues rock" the last years. The songs and instument lines may be "simpler", but what matters is whether the final result is good.

[@clucknorriz6683]

Paice, Lord, and Coverdale give it that Purple sound.

wow, had no idea the later version was a re-recording...though the later version did have Steve Vai on lead guitar! As a product of late 80s hair metal culture, I'm still kinda partial to that one. This one, though, does have a late 70s/early 80s, very simple, rock & roll appeal.
