I really LOVE all the eras of WS...especially the Sykes, Murray & Powell (& offstage synth player) era. I have a bootleg dvd a friend burned for me of them in Japan.
All Right! Glad you're a certified WHITESNAKE fan too, Uwe! My FAV band for 24 years! (Tied for FAV band with Y&T actually!!) I love Tommy Aldridge too--great Double Bass Drummer & very cool yet deeeep & sober gentleman too.
Neil's really good at milking the most out of a few notes, ain't he?
Uriah--the current bassplayer--was originally a hired gun who's well known for beeing able to learn stuff quickly which saved the day when Marco Mendoza left to pursue SoulSirkus (which flopped by the way). I'm sure his looks & age (29 when he joined) didn't hurt but the decision to keep him on in the band was his great talent & chops!!
Marco does a great Latin Funk Trio gig at a local club in North Hollywood called La Ve Lee where many celebs are often sighted in the audience. Recently current WS keyboardist Timothy Drury & new WS drummer Chris Frazier were in the crowd. Marco is well loved. He can play about 32 notes per second which he does on some toons.
Amazing talent & chops too!! Excellent singer tooo
Yes, it was '87 when I first saw The MIGHTY Snake...with Rudy Sarzo on bass...& I've never seen so many GORGEOUS WOMEN in one place as at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California as that evening....but I'd already been playing drums covering their song Love Ain't No Stranger before the '87 album came out.
Hey Uwe~ Did you get those DC albums from '77~ titled Northwinds & Whitesnake??
There's some great soulful material there too!!
Edit: Yes, I guess you did~ the 4th vid you posted--Lady--is from the '77 WHITESNAKE!
Ah~ & the 5th vid...from Northwinds.
