Fav Whitesnake album?
by WildWorld Sat Apr 13, 2024 9:16 pm
I've been going through the Whitesnake catalog recently, and it made me wonder, what's your fav Whitesnake album? Though it's cliche, I'd have to say the 1987 album, though I also thought Lovehunter is pretty good and underrated (they really should have gone with a different cover rather than that THING they used, which likely turned off some fans).

1987. It was the one I fell in love with and I still dig it. The combo of Syke’s guitar and Coverdale’s voice is perfection. I’d put Slide It In at 2nd and Slip of the Tongue in 3rd.

It had Jon Sykes, there's a reason it was so good. I also really like Slide It In but man, the lyrics are so bad.

Yep, 1987 has its share of innuendos, but it’s one of the only ones that’s mild enough for me to stomach.

I’m curious, what bothers you more… sexual innuendo or satanic lyrics?

Blasphemous or satanic lyrics bother me because they’re attacking my God.
Sexual lyrics bother me because they put thoughts in my head that could tempt me to lust if I’m not careful.
The sexual lyrics could probably be a bigger stumbling block for me, honestly. It’s one reason I am very careful about the sexual content in the movies and shows I watch.

I think the Forevermore album is really good. It’s the best they’ve done since the Steve Vai era.
The actual song Forevermore is brilliant! It’s very reminiscent of the Coverdale/Page music. The second half of the song has an epic Kashmir feel.

I understand your concern… but for me, the words have become just a part of the song and I don’t dwell on them. I’m too into the music most of the time to analyze the words (unless something blatantly in your face is said). If a song just says a woman is “hot” or whatever, that’s no problem. But X-rated lyrics are annoying. Same with bands that say “Hail Satan” etc…
I only care about the words if it’s a Christian band. Secular lyrics are mostly nonsense anyway.

I have a really good memory, and part of that—for good and ill—is that things like song lyrics will imprint themselves on my brain.

The level of explicitness is also a factor. Van Halen’s Beautiful Girls is one thing; their Black n Blue is another.

Yeah, some lyrics are borderline X-rated.

I can’t make that promise.

On a side note, while I prefer the 1987 version of Cryin in the Rain (Killer album opener), I actually like the 1982 version of Here I Go Again (Hobo lyric and all). Coverdale is just more soulful in that one (both versions are preferable to that weird pop radio version with Dann Huff though).

Coverdale has an OCD obsession with remix/remastering old stuff.
He’s been putting out those new “collection” albums recently.

Makes sense. Tbh I think the reason that the sexual lyrics don't bother me much is because I know if I'm sure to get thoughts like that within an hour or so anyway... something I need prayer for I guessPethead wrote:Both, for different reasons.TZ75 wrote:Pethead wrote:Yep, 1987 has its share of innuendos, but it’s one of the only ones that’s mild enough for me to stomach.

Blasphemous/Satanic lyrics are a bigger problem for me. Otherwise, The Conjuring would be one of my fav Megadeth songs, and I'd frequently shuffle play Slayer. There's no temptation there, but it just feels wrong to listen to and enjoy something actively being hateful towards God.
