I love how Bruce verbally smacks down someone in the audience who had apparently been throwing stuff.

NP: Still of the Night
Whitesnake
Whitesnake (1987)

Say what you will about Coverdale selling out, but this track is one of the best metal tunes of all-time, in my opinion. The main riff kicks your teeth in and the laid back interlude sets the rest of the song up perfectly. The link is for the version from the "Live in the Still of the Night" DVD. It's tuned down but it still sounds great.

To Be Over - Yes

Live version from the Moraz line-up in 1975....

I totally agree Dave...a true classic...although the riff is maybe a bit over-influenced by Led Zep...but who cares? That middle section with the violins and the way it returns to the main part of the song...utterly brilliant.

Might Just Take Your Life - Deep Purple

One of my favourites from the Coverdale era back in 1974....

John Sykes' guitar playing on that album is phenomenal. Too bad he got sacked by Coverdale, along with others, so he could get some pretty boys in the band. :roll:

Absolutely....and his sacking was especially weird given that Sykes could flounce around with the best of them and Campbell was no oil painting in any case...

Still...Coverdale did hire Steve Vai soon afterwards so they didn't lose the virtuoso element for long.

Star - Nazareth

Low sound levels on this unfortunately...but this is one of Nazareth's finest songs. AC/DC should have hired this guy instead of Brian Johnston, I reckon...

Vai is no doubt an immense guitar talent but he just didn't fit well, in my opinion. He could obviously play those Whitesnake songs backwards and forwards but his sound is just too recognizable as his own that it just didn't work for me. That being said, the only song I really liked much on the "Slip of the Tongue" album was "Sailing Ships". Great song.

True - but at least he was a better fit in Whitesnake than he was in Public Image Ltd. Remember this one?

I know...and I think this was the project he worked on straight after he left Alcatrazz. Quite a contrast....

God Blessed Video - Alcatrazz

It seems that Vai was drawn to legendary and difficult vocalists from the UK in the 1980s....Bonnet, Lydon, Coverdale...what a bunch!
