Whitesnake je britanski rok bend osnovan 1978. od strane Davida Coverdalea nakon njegovog odlaska iz prethodnog benda, Deep Purple-a. Njihov stariji material kritičari su poredili sa Deep Purple-om ali sredinom 80-tih prešli su u komercijalniji hard rok stil. Četiri starija albuma ovog benda dostigli su top 10 na listama u Velikoj Britaniji, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) i Slide It In (1984). Album Whitesnake, izdat 1987., bio je njihov komercijalno najuspješniji album, i na njemu su se našle dvije pjesme koje su među njihovim najvećim hitovima, “Here I go again“ i “Is this love“. 1988. Whitesnake su nominovani za Brit Award za najbolju britansku grupu. 2005. proglašeni su za 85-ti najbolji hard rok bend svih vremena od strane VH1.

Changes in the Whitesnake lineup for 2013

Whitesnake Announce Yet Another Change In The Line Up


Brian Tichy

Whitesnake regret to announce that powerhouse drummer, Brian Tichy, has told David Coverdale this morning he is leaving the band to pursue the SUN project he started with gifted singer/guitarist Sass Jordan. Bassist & singer, Michael Devin, also a participant in SUN, will remain with Whitesnake.
Coverdale said: “We are truly sad to see him go, but, we fully support the pursuit of his ambitions & sincerely wish him well. His fearless drumming brought a relentless driving edge & to our music that we fully embraced. Good Luck, Brian...May the SUN shine brightly on you!!”
Whitesnake have begun the search for a new drummer. There are several musicians already being considered.
A spokesman for the band said that this will not affect the forthcoming tour dates for 2013.

Bend "Whitesnake" 14. juna na Kalemegdanu!



Legendarni britanski sastav “Whitesnake” 14. juna održaće koncert na Kalemegdanu, a Dejvid Koverdejl i ekipa u Beograd dolaze u okviru turneje “Year Of The Snake”, na kojoj izvode najveće hitove iz svoje bogate karijere!

Prodaja ulaznica po ceni od 1.990 (parter), 2.990 (fan pit) i 3.500 dinara (VIP) počinje u četvrtak, 7. februara, a karte se mogu kupiti na prodajnim mestima “Eventima”.

Spremite se za rokenrol nostalgiju i uživanje uz čuvene numere “Is This Love”, “Here I Go Again”, “Fool For Your Loving”, “Still Of The Night” i mnoge druge.

Da podsetimo, grupu “Whitesnake”, koja je više puta nastupala u Beogradu, je 1978. osnovao Dejvid Koverdejl nakon što je napustio sastav “Deep Purple”. Već sa prva četiri albuma osvojili su svetske top-liste i postaju jedan od najuspešnijih rok bendova svih vremena sa više od 70 miliona prodatih nosača zvuka. Od 11 studijskih albuma i desetina koncertnih i kompilacijskih izdanja, čak tri su objavili u poslednjih sedam godina.

Osim velikih hitova engleski rokeri će na Kalemegdanu izvesti i numere sa albuma “Forevermore”, objavljenog 2011. Nakon što je bubnjar Brajan Tiči početkom januara napustio grupu, na veliku radost fanova u bend se vratio stari bubnjar Tomi Oldridž.

- Kad sam pitao članove benda da ispišu listu omiljenih bubnjara koje žele na ovoj turneji, svi su redom napisali Tomijevo ime. Fanovi na internetu, takođe, nisu imali dilemu. Sudbina je htela da ponovo radimo. Biće ovo mnogo dobar provod – izjavio je Koverdejl.

E ne mogu iscekati taj 14. Kako bi bilo fenomenalno kad bi otvorili sa "Burn" kao u Londonu 05, iz momenta bih se popeo na binu i zakrestao na mikrofon...
