About this episode
The episode explores the history of Whitesnake and Deep Purple, featuring interviews with key band members.
Welcome to part 1 of our look at the interconnected history of two monsters of British / American rock - #Whitesnake and #DeepPurple! Metal reached unprecedented heights with the success of Whitesnake’s self-titled 1987 album so we are starting this series off here, featuring exclusive interviews with: Who else? Mr. #DavidCoverdale! Guitarist #AdrianVandenberg and bassist #RudySarzo were also in this line up and are featured on this show. We spoke with Coverdale in 2023, back when he was promoting the box set for “STILL Good To Be Bad”, which contained remixed and remastered versions of the band’s 2008 album. Adrian Vandenberg joined us that same year to discuss his band’s album “Sin”. You’ll then hear the second part of that interview with Coverdale, followed by our conversation with Rudy Sarzo, who speaks about rejoining #QuietRiot - the band he was originally in before joining Whitesnake. Hang on tight. It’s gonna get loud!!! SHOW CREDITS: Diamond Dave Kinchen & Brother Shane McEachern (hosts). Audio transitions made in part w/ Drum Pad Machine (DPM).
