Quiz #124 - Whitesnake "Fool for your loving"

When former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale re-emerged with a new version of Whitesnake in 1984, the band sounded revitalized and energetic. "Slide It In" may have relied on Led Zeppelin's and Deep Purple's old tricks, but the band had a knack for writing hooks; the record became their first platinum album. Three years later, Whitesnake released an eponymous album (titled "1987" in Europe) that was even better. "Still of the Night" was a dead ringer for early Zeppelin — but the group could write powerful, heavy rockers like "Here I Go Again" that were driven as much by melody as riffs, as well as hit power ballads like "Is This Love."

For 1989's "Slip of the Tongue" Coverdale assembled a completely new version of the band, featuring guitar virtuoso Steve Vai. Although the record went platinum, it was a considerable disappointment after the success of the previous Whitesnake album (1987). "Slip of the Tongue" wasn't as successful because the band's songs weren't as catchy and the riffs weren't as powerful.
