Good to Be Bad

*Whitesnake are best known for creating some of the ‘80s most memorable arena rock anthems, bic-wielding ballads, and scintillating videos and in April 2008 they return to fill a void that no one does better than David Coverdale & co. *April 19th see's Whitesnake release their first new studio album in over a decade "Good To Be Bad" via Stomp Entertainment. An album that proves that despite the 10 year plus lay-off between studio albums, Coverdale and company are as ferocious as ever. "For me, it has all the elements, all the ingredients that I enjoy about Whitesnake," says Coverdale. "It's a very solid, muscular, melodic rock record with a couple of fine ballads, so there's a little tenderness when the moment calls for it, and of course the ballads help balance out the hard rock! I find it a very complete piece of work, actually. It covers a lot of musical ground, a positive chapter in the Book of Whitesnake." As evidenced by such rockers as "All For Love" and "Lay Down Your Love," as well as the ballads "All I Want All I Need" and "Summer Rain," ‘Good To Be Bad' is vintage Whitesnake, with a modern, contemporary edge. *The line-up joining Coverdale for his much-anticipated return certainly meets the star-power of Whitesnake's earlier line-ups. Guitarists Doug Aldrich (Dio, Lion, Hurricane) and Reb Beach (Winger, Dokken, Night Ranger), bassist Uriah Duffy (Christina Aguilera, Travers/Appice), keyboardist Timothy Drury (Don Henley, Stevie Nicks), and drummer Chris Frazier (Steve Vai, Edgar Winter) round out Whitesnake ‘08. In addition to being Whitesnake's leader since 1978, Coverdale has sung with some of rock's most respected and legendary names, including Deep Purple and Jimmy Page (as one half of Coverdale-Page). But it is his work with Whitesnake that personifies Coverdale best, due to a steady stream of MTV/radio mega-hits, including "Fool for Your Loving," "Slow An' Easy," "Still of the Night," "Here I Go Again," "Is This Love?," "Give Me All Your Love," and "The Deeper the Love."
