[furqall69]

Thats all i could post but not all i have.

ZZ Top used to support Mel's band Trapeze back in the 1970's.

Check out both his and the Trapeze Myspace pages ;-)

Rest in peace, Mel.

Mel was something very special indeed.

@saugusg16 To be fair, only two of the tunes on 1987 were not Coverdale/Sykes compositions. And of those two, only "Crying in the Rain" could (rightly) be called a "showcase" for Skyes.

his last jam was at my uncles club.the tackeroo. ace guitarist, rest in peace, mel.

This was the best version of Whitesnake! Mel Galley and Mickey Moody slinging the guitars, Jon Lord on keys, Neil Murray on bass, and Cozy Powell on drums. Closely followed by the "Come n Get It line-up with Bernie marsden on guitar and Ian Paice on drums.

[Banner1979]

I always used to wonder if they overdubbed Mel's guitar onto Saints & Sinners. I know he did backing vocals while they kept Neil Murray's bass and Ian Paice's drums in the mix.

@stray1957 Alot of the songs on Whitesnake 87 we're written way before that album came out. The songs on that disc we're just pumped up versions show casing John Sykes guitar playing.

[leppardsnake]

Mel Galley is my favorite Whitesnake guitarist.. or was :S.

Closely followed by marsden/moody and vandenberg

@stray1957 Coverdale re-recorded a few other early tracks for the U.S.-released albums: this one, "Here I Go Again", "Fool For Your Loving", and I think there's a couple more I can't think of at the moment.

A true fucking hero, RIP... Medusa is one of the greatest masterpieces of all time... Words cannot explain what that album means to me ;)
