Whitesnake's Purple Surprise in May

5150 · Feb 26, 2015

This could be an interesting album and tour ... if David's voice holds up. His vocal limitations are kind of like Geddy Lee's nowadays. They can loose a lot of their range late in the tours. So best to see them earlier than later.

I am eagerly awaiting Armored Saint's The White Noise album

I think this will be enjoyable, but honestly..... This should be a bonus disc with a new studio album, and not the new release they are touring to support.

Usually, I give a big wide miss to rerecordings of older albums and songs, but I have to admit that that recording of Stormbringer blew me away. It might be the same song and the same singer that did the song in Deep Purple, but it really sounds like a Whitesnake song and not a Deep Purple song. The dual guitars and lack of keyboards really give it a high energy, aggressive feel to it. I can't wait to hear the rest of it.

I'm also really looking forward to this tour (already bought my ticket). Although they have done Burn and Stormbringer on tour before, they haven't done them when I've seen them. So, as a huge Deep Purple fan I can't wait to hear these songs live.

I am hoping that David Coverdale's vocals hold out. I've seen them twice in the last decade or so. The first time the vocals were terrible. Last time they were excellent. So, who knows. I bought my ticket and I'll hope for the best.

I recently rediscovered Whitesnake and once again I find myself mesmerized by his voice and the sound of the band. I'm pre-ordering this one

I loved the remake of Stormbringer that I heard... Just disappointed that they have to tune down so low to assist David's voice. Playing the songs in a different key just changes them... and not in a good way in my opinion.

Damn, it is too band that David could not convince Ritchie to me part of this.

I would have gone to Australia for that! I definitely will to catch a show anyway.

A good EPK on the upcoming album. Also glad to hear Ritchie maybe finally deciding to rock again, even if its not with David Coverdale.

WHITESNAKE STREAMING “LAY DOWN STAY DOWN” FROM UPCOMING THE PURPLE ALBUM

DigitalMan · Apr 8, 2015

I'm glad I saw this thread. I listened to the Whitesnake remakes and loved them. But then I realized I didn't own the original David Coverdale era Deep Purple disks these songs came from. I'm still a long ways from having all of DP's disks and I'm an Ian Gillan fan so I always focused on the albums he is on. So I listened to Burn and Stormbringer on Spotify and loved them both. I ordered them both on CD and they should be arriving any day now. After I have digested the originals, I may seek out the Whitesnake remakes, but for now I wanted to say thanks for inadvertently turning me on to the originals that I had overlooked.
