Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in the 1970's I was subjected, through choice to all sorts of rock and metal music - especially at school and beyond. I used to have a huge 'ghetto-blaster' back in the day and my 'mates' and me would hang around listening to all the best bands on cassettes, swapping and lending each other the greatest ones and playing them until the tapes stretched and split through use. Our popular choices at the time were: AC/DC - 'If You Want Blood, You've Got It'Saxon - 'Wheels of Steel'Gillan - 'Glory Road'Queen - 'Live Killers'Plus I got to listen to Whitesnake for the very first time on 'Ready an' Willing' and it all went on from there. I managed to see Whitesnake at the Cornwall Coliseum - one of my very first concerts (actually my second) and then another two times thereafter on subsequent tours. I then went on to catch them at Donington in '83 and New Year's Eve at Wembley Arena in '87. More recently I have seen them twice at Download Festival and once in Cardiff.At one of the Download Festival's I also had the pleasure to see David Coverdale do a 'solo' Press Conference, which was a dream come true as he is very articulate and just such a likeable guy (I also attended a KISS press conference once at Download Festival, which was an amazing experience too).From listening to them on cassette to purchasing their CD's and seeing them live, they have always been a very entertaining act in all of their incarnations - and there have been many over the years, with David staying the only constant throughout.So, over this Book, we will look at the albums, the concerts and peoples opinions on the Band and David Coverdale, the 13th Book in the 'Fans Have Their Say' series of Books.
