Whitesnake - Fool for you loving old

[TheMax140982001]

i have the orginal "lp" of this song ( album ) awesome  before they became a 80's super group raw talent at its best ..

[switcherdawna]

yeah, sounds like deep purple... Jon Lord is on keyboards and Ian Paice is on drumes

[IronGaz]

Lol He looks like Robert Plant

[HuDaFuK]

I really like both versions of this song. I'll agree that, musically, this is the best version, but I love how angry the '89 version is, it's a great break-up song.

[wanawjecy]

1980 version is THE ROCK!

1989 version os THE METAL!

[erich84502]

Whitesnakes sounds more like blues-blues and less like glam-metal back then!

[mihailolord]

music for masturbation xD

[governorgilf]

I like both versions. I had never heard this one until now.  It's more bluesy, classic rock sounding----partly because it IS older, but it's just more raw. I can hear the Deep Purple, Tommy Bolin influence in this.

[reydelugano22]

Exelente..master oF rock...

[xandro777]

fino

[Jaskatzu]

This is much better than the new version :D

Especially the part around 2:05

[Nudibranch182]

back in the days when Coverdale was one of the best rock vocalists on the planet.

[hayal921]

it's the best song from 1980 year

[chrisnouvelle41]

this version rocks....seeexy!!

[weddingcyprus]

the best version!... great great great David!

[Just4Meeeee]

Steve Vai gave this SO MUCH more ENERGY! Yeah, this is ok but nothing special... like someone else said previously, you can DANCE to it! I was in a rock band back then, and if someone said that about our music I would have punched them in the mouth - NOT a compliment to say that about a ROCK band in the day!!!

[laurentius88]

oooh yeah :-)

[amelbo]

yeah but david reinvited this shit with a powerhouse band come on tommy aldrege rudy sarzo steve vai dude you cant find better all star band for god sakes.

[chilimick]

@amelbo rubbish. the originals were all better, he was short of new material and kept rerecording the old stuff all the time.

[slash3444]

toza canada

[banzervirus]

AWESOME FUCKYEAH

[drveejay]

you can dance to this, you cant dance to the '89 version...

[Whitesnake23GR]

Whitesnake on their first years had better melody , better and smoother sound , and UNIQUE ( they lost it during the time )

[sinestezia]

@Whitesnake23GR yeah, absolutely, they were much better than later, this sound is genuine

[Godza1602]

Lord and Paice! The best Whitesnake! Forever!

[petak23]

exelente!

[SnootchDog]

I was born in '77 (when the band was founded), so the Whitesnake I heard was post-1987. I was a big fan since their self-titled album came out and hit big in the U.S. and on MTV.

That late 70s/early 80s stuff is the brand of rock 'n' roll that really died out in America, I think. I guess that is what happens. (Really, that music period was early 70s to early 80s - about 1972 to 1983.)

I want this brand of Whitesnake to reappear!

[switcherdawna]

the first few Whitesnake releases (Snakebite, Trouble, & Love Hunter) were more blues influenced rock, like some Deep Purple stuff... and then after 'Ready and Willing' they became more metal.

[primekey2001]

One of the greatest Rock voices ever.

Kick ass tune

[vrajes1]

simply love the music and his voice is marvellous , love to rock again

[Brigateknight]

This is why you gotta love Whitesnake!

They have right answer on every possible love situation, and that's all that matters.

This song just helped me decide what i'm gonna do about my girl.

p.s. I, as poet and a writer would gladly die just to write song like this, 'cause its worth dying for song like this.

[MaxDefender]

Gotta pick the 89's version over this one......Vai's bag of tricks made the song absolutely special.

[darke812]

I agree, sort of...I love this Deep Purple version that is very bluesy-rock that could almost come off slide it in. The brilliance comes in that Coverdale had it right when he remade this and  others with Sykes and Vai.

[jarkanciofan]

Great!

[catrevenger]

Jan Paice, Jon Lord, David Coverdale...

1/2 Deep Purple :))) I love this variant of this song :) Thanks for upload!!! Greetings from Bulgaria!!! BBOTEFF

[thinsnake]

Heard this voice and had to find out who it was... Went into HMV in Glasgow and was blown away by ur magic, talent and good looks. Still a massive fan 30 years later.... Can't wait to see you again some time soon xxxx

[guitarlawyer75]

I like this version better than the other one because of Jon Lord. I just love these keyboards.

[ravensmead]

i remember skiving off skool drawing the curtains and playing cards to this oh and smoking was it 80 or 81 i cant rememeber ha ha .......

[flosscal]

sweet never heard this one..btw dont dis vai hes the best

[zodwik]

He carried some Deep purple  into this band ... gotta love it

[ricmonist86]

The 1980 version kicks ass than the 1989 version. Damn u Steve Vai

[KGBfbiSECUpolitia]

2:32 discarding the rings, he's got a SEXy hand . I wonder if he plays an instrument maybe the piano , he's got Long/nice fingers.

He could have kept his hair shortER though.

I didN't know he was such a SEXy dancer. Who said (British) men canNot dance? BTW is he British? He was/Is a Shaker 'n' Mover 4sure.

[vizeeee]

girls don't like mustaches on rock bands...

[Skullbastard]

I love this song and I think that Coverdale could be an great choice to play Saruman in the upcoming Hobbit films cause Lee probably wont. David looks like a wizard now, he has the nose, deep voice, wrinkles and the hair....only thing left is a beard.

[aabbaabcd]

deep purple?

[oficina666]

the original version is so much better than the new version.

[dhsolis]

@oficina666

I agree

[psychodelicrock12]

@oficina666 You should listen to the live version from Donington Monsters of Rock 1983. It really rocks.

[GeneVRocks]

Listen to these basslines,vauuuu!

Great song,this is original version and so much better than new version.

[asianqueen808]

This was an Awesome concert to see in Hononlulu,Hi!

[nor4ety]

i love this song... coverdale has a wicked voice :)

[DanishDotards]

Far better than the hair metal version of later times. But what is Peter Jackson doing behind the drums? :D

[sqonk77]

no its not peter jackson thats ian paice on drums you idiot. what are you on crack.

[DanishDotards]

No, I was just making fun at the similarities between them. Chill out, mate.

[sqonk77]

i was justjoking when said that dude so relax mate.

[DoctorFeelgoood]

ha 1:55, whats David Grohl doing in Whitesnake.... lol :D

[wivren]

A lot better without Steve Vai and his note shooting...

[guyfawkes3]

thanks for posting this,i never heard a version without steve vai.

[conniesept22th]

always the best for whitesnake and coverdale!!!!! full of blessings!!!!

[1rez1a]

why i wasn't 18yrs old in '80s..damm..miss'd all the great bands n ppl :(

[misshair]

OMG!! Coverdale in jeans?!?! wowsers!!!

looks good! but he looks good in anyting..lol

and I kinda have to agree with Lady Daher..his voice does sound strained on the 80's version (too many cigarettes...?? )..but still either way is mesmerizing!

thx for posting this to the OP! :)

rock on!

[jamae1904]

OMG I LOVE YOU DAVID!!!!!! he is so hot, and he stays REALLY hot up until his fifties, and now hes still ok looking

[LadyDaher]

His voice sounds soooo much better when he's not straining like he does in the version with steve vai and most of his mid 80's songs. But either way or style it´s impossible to not be mesmerized by David's stunning voice!

[piskeylowe]

super vid'interestingly Bernie marsden looks like a young Rab C Nesbit!!! (British in joke)

[Sjonkel]

Is this concert to find on any DVD? I want it!

[jt1775]

Sounds like Deep Purple, awesome!

[JJJBJJ]

Coverdale was part of Deep Purple, so no surprise here :)

[studleyj]

Early Whitesake songs are very Deep Purple-inspired. Fitting since he was their last singer before the band disbanded in 1977 (I think).

[TXSBLUEBONNET]

Early Whitesnake was the best lineup.

[javiersin18]

muchos recuerdos con est greast song

[RedRoseOfNY]

Wow! Can Dave Coverdale fill out a pair of jeans or what??? Love this video and can't watch it enough.

[Kaylow699]

Man... :[

This Song Makes Me Think.

[SerdarMumbuc]

All the comments are great,ı've read them all.The first time i'm writing my second.For some;had long hair and bald now too :).Fully agree for Sam Hagar's great voice.But i think the similarity of both are more likely the great control and domination over music.Not the colours.The last thing is;Steve Vai is a guitar genius and has loads of technic. Only way to give something good to music is to play something more telling,instead of showin' how good you are.This must be one of his very few thorns

[camaronimus]

lo amo siempre lo amare!!!!... pero que se reuna la formacion del BURN!!!! con blackmore

[lalobill]

es lo maximo se pasaron whithe snake es un GOOOOOOOOOOL

[decius51]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SerdarMumbuc]

What a voice!! İt's hard to not envy..Each colour he gives are somethin' else. One of the best...

[creeper3140]

he sounds like sammy hagar from van halen! one my faverate singers!

[n1cklass]

ehmm..its named Fool For Your Loving no more.not old.

[smarklew]

It's the old version, der!

This is the one without Steve Vai

[trex257]

Hard living, especially with Tawny Kitaen=Mega voice change for the worse. Still a good vocalist in the 80's and early 90's. But what's funny, when you see them perform this song now, they use this guitar solo and not Vai's. Guess they can't pull it off.

[BlowBackBenny]

They don't use either, and the Vai solo isn't too difficult for professionals.

[trex257]

Not for Reb Beach, but I don't see Doug Aldrich playing Vai's solo. He's a great player, but he is more bluesy and less shreddy, if you will.

[LennartIbanez]

Vai pimped this song^^

[korceldehierro]

va un poco desfasao el audio y el video, pero aun asi esta de puta madre

[KissAndAerosmith]

This is one of their best songs!

[Chrisgsq]

Maravilhoso sempre!!!

[MightymightyOden]

Wow, Coverdale's singing were REALLY good back in the days. This is so much better than later recordings.

[Charm91]

Agree, he was best when he song in Deep Purple back in the 70's!

Long Live Whitesnake

[retardruthie]

great but it won't play properly

[MontyPython93]

Can't say anything more than "Great"!!!

[lejla666]

beautiful hair

[sinfonian39]

I think if we could've had the best of both worlds, it would be a non-debate. Steve Vai saved Whitesnake in the early 90s, so I would love to hear him in this old version...he's versatile enough to do this style. Coverdale will never ever be duplicated.

[jerryskid1]

Awesome, this version of Whitesnake had Jon Lord and Ian Paice of Deep Purple in the band.

[pbk73]

The old version of Whitesnake was so kick ass. This version is funkier, more rockin, and 1000 times cooler than any of that corny shit they did in the 80's. At least this stuff sounds like Rock N Roll!

[ricmonist86]

That was the 80's man.

[isstarsidor]

muchas gracias por pasarlo pero la verdad me gustaba mas el anterior

[Deeperpurple1952]

This is great, I'll always be a fool for Whitesnake !

[HittoVie]

really cool! thanks!

[coverdale20]

If this is actually better than the re-recording is very debatable. Coverdale himself called it a "limp performance", but it does have charm in spades. Most people don't like the newer version because it sounds too "hair metal" for them, but I don't know another song (especially not from any hair metal bands) that sounds like it. I think I'll take them both.

[AAA1969]

Cool Stuff!!!Thanks for posting !!!Whitesnake for real

[bohemiaaaa]

david coverdale es mi graaannn amor platonico....sho estoi enamorada de ese flacooo dios!

[howiemarsh]

Ah....Proper Whitesnake!

[antsinmepants]

I haven't heard this song for about 25 years. I used to have long hair in those days, now I am bald.

[Vopos41]

Great to see this again. The original and by far the best version too.

[ronago]

I prefer this old version. Thanks for posting!
