 David Coverdale - the Whitesnake mainman - recently spoke with Solid Rock about the bands 30 year anniversary, and whether he maintains contact with former members of the band among other topics.
Several excerpts are included below.
Solid Rock: This year Whitesnake is celebrating 30 years, which more or
less means three generations watching the band. How does it feel to see
fans of different ages, people in their forties or fifties and
teenagers standing side by side among the audience and singing along
Whitesnake lyrics?
DC: "It is immensely rewarding to see such an incredible cross
section of ages. And don’t forget, we have beautiful women and girls
who are also coming to play with the Snake. It's a wonderful
relationship we share with the audience. And yes seeing so many young
faces out there, singing along to songs that were written before they
were born is amazing."
Solid Rock: Do you have any contacts with former Whitesnake members?
DC: "Mostly Adrian Vandenberg...we maintain a solid and good
friendship. I saw Bernie Marsden earlier this year at Heathrow. That
was a delightful encounter, after so many years of silliness. I mostly
retain memories of former associates, to be honest. Some good, some not
so good. I live a very full life and the present and the possibilities
of the future are more relevant to me. I like to learn from the past,
rather than live in it.
Solid Rock: You have worked and toured with some of the greatest
musicians in rock scene like Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn
Hughes, DEF LEPPARD etc. Are there any other musicians that you haven’t
worked with and you would like to work with in the future?
DC: EASY, JEFF BECK, who I admire immensely and maybe jam with
Edward Van halen sometime. But to be honest, I’m very happy and
inspired by my current colleagues. They keep me on my toes!"
