 The riff remains imperial, carved in marble, earth-shaking, gratifying; among the best of the last century.

 Someone said.... "before Mr. Coverdale's hair turned blond, before the 'Still of The Night' video dominated MTV, before '1987', there was a great English band. They were called Whitesnake."

 The immortal songs of Whitesnake stand out like Renaissance frescoes imbued with a sacred aura in a true mausoleum of music, the legendary Hammersmith Theatre in London, which today appears as a temple filled with the glorious and eternal notes that have given such greatness to British rock.

 Honestly, I was somewhat surprised not to find an album like "Slip Of The Tongue" already reviewed in Debaser's archives, and the reason is easily understandable: we're talking about Whitesnake and a lineup that, for the first time, features the six-string wizard Steve Vai on lead guitar, Tommy Aldridge on drums, Rudy Sarzo on bass, and valuable collaborations like Don Airey on keyboards or Glenn Hughes as backup vocals.
