I've been playing music for about 26 years now...the string portion of this song near the end was one of the first things i attempted to learn on my first little casio keyboard before I knew what the hell I was doing...I did somehow figure it out though...kind of nostalgic coming back to some of the musical roots...but at the time, I guess being 10 years old I never really noticed that the song was all about getting laid and corrupting the innocence of my childhood:)
i was 16 years old ,just gottin my first car and headed to tampa,fl to see whitesnake and greatwhite ,what a freakin concert ,no assigned seats ,first come to the front ,bad ass ,with my 2 buddies allen b and rob g,miss all the great trips and parties ......
Are the '80s cool? Last week I was riding in my truck with my 11 year old son and this song came on the radio. I turned it up, I have a pretty good sound system, and rocked it. When the song was done, my son turned to me with wide eyes and and said "That was sick dad!". Yes kid, it certainly was. Btw, other "sick" songs according to my son- Phil Collins' "In the air" and Motley Crue's "Home sweet home". :)
This song is SOOOO cool! I LOVED growing up in the 80's to this music...Def Leppard, Whitesnake and so many others....just awesome! I was a lucky girl! :O)
The song is awesome, the band is awesome and Tawny was looking her finest.
The record industry has only themselves to blame giving us shitty music and filing lawsuits against people who downloaded music. Yet they had no problem collecting 4x the money paid by people who bought it on 8 track, vinyl, cassette and CD. Same song, different format. Royalties were already paid.
confession time, i've always been one of those " to cool for school" indy assholes, even when this first came out. but as a singer and songwriter i got to admit, this cat could and still can fucking SING. i mean really really sing. and it's a great song, great writing, great musicians. yea, it's a bit cheesy for my snobby tastes but whenever it comes on i crank it.. and try to to sing along on the down low.
@nflnba17 pass the word..it's great stuff, they didn't fake it or autotune back in these days, you either could or you couldn't. have fun exploring my friend
@nflnba17 The vids are nothing compared to the Whitesnake concerts of the 80s. Imagine thousands of people having fun, no guns, no trouble, and half were hot babes in short skirts with hair puffed up to the stratosphere. Here's the kicker... they came to the concerts to actually meet guys and hook up.
@bruinsgirl79 Yeah, but after the band choose 20 or so (each), the other girls still needed to make memories... (cue the guys in the parking lot with booze after the show). haha
An absolute epic. One of the best hard rock songs ever. Right up there with Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused. Interesting that the guitarist uses a bow at one point ala Jimmy Page in Dazed. Great band....all great players, and Coverdale one of the top[ three frontmen of all-time...up there with Plant and Tyler. Nice triplets near the end on the kit by Tommy Aldridge. He probably heard Bonham do that a few years earlier in Dazed. And OMG....Tawny Kitean is a goddess. All you can do is grunt.
Great vid, thanks for posting it up. Cedar Rapids IA, 1990 tour.........this song live!! The bow was so good. Oh, the chick's were everywhere. Still have the ticket stub and T-shirt.
Yes, it's true that "Still of the night" sounds a little bit like "Black dog", and everyone knows that Coverdale 's a big Led Zeppelin fan, but it's a fuckin' amazing good song... and remember, Sykes on guitars, Dunbar on the drums, and Murray on bass, only the best !!!
i never really liked whitesnake, but when i heard this song on the radio i hate to crank it up all the way and now its my fav song ever. if i ever had to line up a band, i would have the singer, david coverdale, gene simmons on bass, neil peart on drumms, and eddie van halen an lead. what u guys think
@danstrikeeagle i ment to say i HAD to crank it up all the way. srry for the typo. yeah but thats just my personal line-up. im sure theres some poeple i would have put in my line-up, i just havent heard of them yet
It's very Zeppelinish, the groove during the main riff, the way it goes into a 2 minute long quiet part, and the way Coverdale sings, I think that he and Plant have the same vocal range.
That's so true! It's absolutely amazing! I get goose bumps when the part at 3:57 starts: Melodic Hard Rock at its best... Can't get any better than this!
My favorite,absolute favorite song and music video ever. I played this song EVERY day the year it came out-and drove my parents nuts(lol I was 16).
Back in the good old days it was hot for a guy to have super tight pants and a full mane of hair. lol times have changed-but I still LOVE this song. Thank you to jackbauertime24 for putting it on here!!!
This riff makes me want to blow a load.. It's so magnificent.
