Info zu Slip Of The Tongue (2019 Remaster)

Das achte Whitesnake-Album wurde ihr drittes Platin-Album in Folge: Slip Of The Tongue. Im November 1989 veröffentlicht, eroberte es dank zweier Top-40 Hits, Fool For Your Loving und The Deeper The Love, die Top-10 im UK und in den USA sowie die Top-20 in Deutschland. In diesem Jahr wird das von den Fans geliebte Album 30 Jahre alt!

Nachdem Whitesnake im Jahr zuvor mit dem Album 1987 (»Whitesnake« in Kanada und den USA) 8-faches Platin eingeheimst hatten, kehrten sie zwei Jahre später mit Slip Of The Tongue zurück. Die Band bestand nun aus Coverdale, Bassmann Rudy Sarzo, Drummer Tommy Aldridge und den Gitarristen Adrian Vandenberg und Steve Vai. Bis auf einen Song wurden alle Stücke von Coverdale und Vandenberg geschrieben, wobei Vandenberg sie wegen einer Handverletzung nicht selbst im Studio einspielen konnte. Um die Lücke zu füllen, stieß Vai für die Aufnahmen und die folgende Tour zur Band.

"Vorsicht, die weiße Schlange gleitet mal wieder auf Beutezug. Dabei züngelt Whitesnake auf "Slip Of The Tongue" noch giftiger als in der Vergangenheit. Spielerisch prescht das Rock-Reptil mit raumwandlerischer Sicherheit über härteste Pfade. So klingt die gekonnte Neuaufnahme des Band-Klassikers "Fool For Your Loving" noch eine Nuance professioneller. Aber auch von dem neuen Kraftfutter kann sich Whitesnake bestens ernähren: Der Opener "Slip Of The Tongue" macht mit scharfer Gitarre und kräftiger Stimme richtig Appetit. Das balladeske "Now You're Gone" und das besänftigende "The Deaper The Love" sind nicht ganz so kalorienschwer in diesem Hardrock-Menü. "Slow Poke Music", das in Riff und Rhythmik an Led Zeppelins "Kashmir" erinnert, zeigt daß das Raubtier auch mal in den Töpfen fremder Köche wildert. Dompteur David Coverdale hat für Whitesnake wieder mal ausgezeichnete Schlangenbeschwörer um sich geschart. Bassist Rudy Sarzo und Schlagzeuger Tommy Aldridge übten früher schon mit Gitarren-Meister Tony MacAlpine das Präzisions-Handwerk. Und Saitenhexer Steve Vai vertritt den etatmäßigen, aber verletzten Gitarrero Adrian Vandenberg (der zusammen mit Coverdale fast alle Songs geschrieben hat) glänzend. Keine Frage, die Schlange hat soviel Biß wie schon lange nicht mehr. Mit ihrer letzten Venyl-Attacke "1987" fand sie weltweit über zehn Millionen Opfer. "Slip Of The Tongue" hätte noch mehr verdient." (Stereoplay)

Whitesnake
After recording two solo albums, former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale formed Whitesnake around 1977. In the glut of hard rock and heavy metal bands of the late '70s, their first albums got somewhat lost in the shuffle, although they were fairly popular in Europe and Japan. During 1982, Coverdale took some time off so he could take care of his sick daughter. When he 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. Portions of the album were blatantly derivative — "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." Whitesnake was an enormous international success, selling over six million copies in the U.S. alone.

Before they recorded their follow-up, 1989's Slip of the Tongue, Coverdale again 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 across-the-board success of Whitesnake. Coverdale put Whitesnake on hiatus after that album. In 1993, he released a collaboration with former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page that was surprisingly lackluster. The following year, Whitesnake issued a greatest-hits album in the U.S. and Canada focusing solely on material from their final three albums (as well as containing a few unreleased tracks).

In 1997, Coverdale resurrected Whitesnake (guitarist Adrian Vandenberg was the only remaining member of the group's latter-day lineup), issuing Restless Heart the same year. Surprisingly, the album wasn't even issued in the United States. On the ensuing tour, Coverdale and Vandenberg performed an "unplugged" show in Japan that was recorded and issued the following year under the title Starkers in Tokyo. By the late '90s, however, Coverdale once again put Whitesnake on hold, as he concentrated on recording his first solo album in nearly 22 years. Coverdale's Into the Light was issued in September 2000, featuring journeyman guitarist Earl Slick. After a lengthy hiatus that saw the release of countless "greatest-hits" and "live" collections, the band returned in 2008 with the impressive Good to Be Bad. Coverdale and Whitesnake toured the album throughout Europe and Japan. The band returned to the recording studio in 2010 with new members bassist Michael Devin (formerly of Lynch Mob) and drummer Brian Tichy, who appeared alongside guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, and guest keyboardist Timothy Drury (as well as Coverdale's son Jasper on backing vocals on various tracks). The band's 11th album, Forevermore, was preceded by the issue of the single, "Love Will Set You Free," and released in the spring of 2011. (ROVI)
