You speak the truth!

Just read on Blabbermouth that the group isn't touring this year and is shooting for a new album Spring 2011.

Come On

Will be the same line-up as the last one I wonder?

Whitesnake announce that the band has parted ways with bassist Uriah Duffy and drummer Chris Frazier. "Whitesnake wish Uriah and Chris every success in pursuing their individual musical careers and express their sincere gratitude for the exceptional contribution they both made to the legacy of the band."
Replacing Frazier as Whitesnake's new drummer is Brian Tichy, who has previously played with Foreigner, Billy Idol, Ozzy Osbourne and Velvet Revolver.
At this time Whitesnake is still exploring its options for the position of the band's new bassist.
Whitesnake is currently in the studio writing and recording the follow-up to 2008's "Good To Be Bad" for a spring release via Frontiers Records.
Whitesnake's next CD will be "a solid, natural progression from the band's last opus, which was awarded by the influential Classic Rock magazine as 'Best Album of the Year' in 2008." "As always, we want to take it to the next level," stated vocalist David Coverdale. "I feel that with the last album we achieved a strong Whitesnake 'cocktail' that comfortably embraced and mixed all the previous musical aspects and styles of the band's history, while taking our identity a little further... all on one album."
Coverdale said the production team for the new album will most likely be the Brutal Brothers, or Los Bros Brutalos, who handled the recording of "Good To Be Bad."
"The new songs are in the very familiar and recognizable Whitesnake territory of soulful, bluesy, melodic power rock, with a couple of ballads thrown in for good measure," the singer said. "It can't be a Whitesnake album without ballads, mate!"
Whitesnake was forced to cancel a number of shows on its 2009 summer U.S. tour with Judas Priest due to David Coverdale being diagnosed with "severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion."

Good to hear, I was wondering if David would be able to sing again. I really enjoy GTBB, still listen to it a lot.

i always miss this band palyin live... shi*.

Keyboardist Timothy Drury has now left as well.

From www.whitesnake.com:

Quote :

"For over seven years now I have been fortunate enough to travel the world, to play and sing my heart out and to share the stage with David Coverdale as a part of Whitesnake. During that time I have been inspired and filled with such a great sense of the beauty that the world has to offer and also with the joy that music can bring to an audience. More than ever, I see the value of what I can express as a composer and producer, photographer, songwriter, singer... as an artist. That is why I must now say my goodbyes to you all and take my leave to pursue some very important creative projects that have been brewing for some time now.

For those of you who have gone to my sites and commented on my work as a visual artist and as a composer, I hope you have sensed how deliberate and passionate I am about interpreting what I see and feel. There are some great new opportunities for me to do that now and the time has come to focus on using my gifts to the fullest extent possible.

Of course I would love to continue to experience the world with Whitesnake and I will miss DC and the guys and the venues and audiences terribly, but I think I would be remiss if I didn't follow my instincts and my heart at this moment.

I have nothing but gratitude for the time I've spent with DC and all of the other incredible players I've had the good fortune to work with in this band since 2003. I've learned so much from DC and this experience, about following one's heart, about being authentic, about never letting fear prevent one from pursuing one's destiny. It's a fitting tribute to him that I must now practice what I have learned and really concentrate on living my life as the artist I was destined to be.

I wish David Coverdale and the new band all the very best as they bring the new record to life in the studio and later when they bring it to you all, live in 2011.

Thanks so much to DC and the band and to all the smiling, appreciative fans around the world!!!"

A Fond Farewell,

Timothy

Do you think David is weeding out people or have these recent leavings just been coincidental? I just hope Beach and Aldrich aren't leaving anytime soon. I can't wait for the new album.


BTW - the new bassist is Michael Devin

It's hard to say, Coverdale has never kept anyone around very long.

This thread really aims "Straight for the Heart"

Whitesnake (1987) is one of my favorite albums. John Sykes rules!

I thought that too but I already have most of those albums on CD and only have a few left to replace from vinyl to CD

I'm not the biggest Whitesnake fan, but I gotta admit, that's a pretty sweet set they've put together.

I have all of those albums except those two Reading shows which I don't think have ever been released. They would be the main reason for a purchase for me, plus the DVDs.

I have a few Whitesnake LP's but that boxset sounds nice.

Reminds me to look for more old vinyl, as I remember seeing that "Live…In The Heart Of The City (1980)" record in every used record store back in the early/mid-1980s, before I ever heard of Slide It In.

 

Sounds like Coverdale has lost it:
