Re: Whitesnake
I am a huge fan of Slip of the Tongue even though it was post-Sykes when Coverdale went insane and fired his whole band (WTF?), but nothing was better than their "Oh my GOD that is loud!" 1987 eponymous release... Straight for the Heart, Still of the Night, Don't Turn Away, Bad Boys, Children of the Night are the heaviest songs on that rocker showcasing Coverdale/Sykes' finest compositional work of all time. And I really can't get over the meaty drums Dunbar laid down for that tape. My brother and I work out that cassette when we bought it and were floored when we watched Still of the Night performed for the MTV Music Awards. Goodness, you will never see anything that good on MTV ever again. Outside of the late, great RJD, David Coverdale has some of the finest metal vocals I've ever heard... Such range, throaty, raspy, low, high--he did it ALL.
