Where are the Whitesnake clones?

[Harvester]

I'm always on the look out for some good bluesy style rock/metal with a hook ala Whitesnake. Clones and 100% rip-offs are not only welcome, but preferred. What I'm not after is the cheesy Great White Jr. harmonica style stuff. Any suggestions beyond the obvious:

Whitesnake
Deep Purple (and all off-shoots, solo albums, etc)
The Snakes
Snakes in Paradise
Badlands
Jorn (and all his side projects)
Wicked Sensation
John Sykes (and all bands)
Gotthard

Wish I could help you, but Id love to hear about some bands that fit this description!

If you don't have Wicked Sensation- Reflected, don't even stop to think. Just get it. "Love is Strange" is worth it alone.

I do

I like this guy's stuff, blazing guitarist with a nice style
similar to Doug Aldrich and John Norum, definitely
Whitesnake influenced:

Thanks. I like the classic guitar style & tone. However the vocals and actual songs are really weak.

Yeah I was going to mention that but I figured you
already knew about them. You have heard The Mob,
(Reb Beach's side project) haven't you? 80's melodic
hard rock with Dug Pinnick singing, I'll find a link if
you need it -

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Just about anything by the band TEN. They are from England and definitely worth checking out, Glenn.

I think the vocalist gives off a Coverdale vibe, but I don't think they are musically close to Whitesnake. I really enjoyed "The Name of the Rose" but I gave up on them after Spellbound.

Tangier's Four Winds has a good bluesy style rock feel, especially Bill Mattson's vocals.

I didn't know you were familiar with them. I really don't have any other suggestions. I still like TEN a lot, but I prefer the heavier stuff mostly.

Ten is probably my favorite band in this genre!

Indeed!

Been out a few years but have you heard Voodoo Hill's WILD SEED OF MOTHER EARTH? Couldn't find a proper site for them but sound samples here:

Glenn Hughes?

Yep, Dario Mollo's project with Glenn Hughes singing.
Can't go wrong with that!

WATCHMEN - a band from Argentina (of all places). The singer is soooooo Coverdale it's crazy. Their music is awesome! You'll love it.

That is my favorite hair metal album of the 80s except for "Slave To The Grind"....which really was the 90s anyway. Stranded is pretty good too, but it's a different vocalist.
