Does it feel the same
When he calls your name
And does it feel the same
When you play the game
Of love

When he holds you tight
Does it feel alright
Just like it used to do
When I was with you
Making love to you

This burning heart of mine
It still hurts after all this time
This burning heart in me
Won't let me be

After all this time
You still haunt my mind
I just can't seem to find
The peace of mind
I need so bad

Does it feel the same
When he calls your name
And does it feel the same
When you play the game
Of love

This burning heart of mine
It still hurts after all this time
This burning heart in me
Won't let me be
Won't let me be

This burning heart of mine
It still hurts after all this time
This burning heart in me
Won't let me be

Solo

This burning heart of mine
It still hurts after all this time
This burning heart in me
Won't let me be
Won't let me be

This burning heart of mine
It still hurts after all this time
This burning heart in me
Won't let me be

Oooh, won't you let me be

Adje (Adrian) van den Berg (Born: January 31, 1954, Enschede in the Netherlands) is a Dutch rock guitarist, best known for his tenure as lead guitarist in Whitesnake during their successful late 1980s period.

Adrian was originally the lead guitarist for 'Teaser', a band that released a self-titled album in 1978. He then started his own band, simply named Vandenberg, who released three albums in the 1980s. They are arguably best known for the ballad "Burning Heart", a song that features complementing guitar layers and harmonies, and "Friday Night".

Vandenberg was originally approached to join Whitesnake in the early 1980s, having impressed David Coverdale with not only his guitar wizardry, but also with his songwriting talent and his ability as a band leader. He initially declined, due to the success of his own band Vandenberg and their Top 40 hit, Burning Heart. By 1986, however, with pressure from the record company to become more and more commercial and their success hitting a plateau, he relented and finally disbanded Vandenberg and agreed to join Coverdale in Whitesnake. Initially he was hired as a session musician, helping to complete their eponymous album Whitesnake (known as 1987 in Europe) after a mass-firing of the original band members by Coverdale. He contributed the solo to their #1 hit "Here I Go Again", but guitarist John Sykes played all of the other rhythm and lead guitar on the album.

After an extremely successful world tour and extensive airplay for their 3 videos on MTV, Vandenberg co-wrote all of the music to the follow-up album Slip of the Tongue. However, in preparing to enter the studio for the recording sessions, he injured his wrist performing isometric exercises and was unfortunately unable to contribute lead guitar work to the album Slip of the Tongue. Steve Vai was imported by founder David Coverdale to record both lead and rhythm guitars on the album in Vandenberg's stead. Vandenberg healed in time to stay with the band on tour supporting the album in a now-trademark dual guitarist role with Steve Vai. After Whitesnake was disbanded in 1991, he returned as part of other Whitesnake incarnations such as the 1994 Greatest Hits reunion/tour. He once again co-wrote the songs for the 1997 album Restless Heart with Coverdale. This time, he played all of the guitars on this stripped-down, bluesy album, turning away from his well-known rock/metal neo-classical chops and towards his original main influence, Jimi Hendrix. He also collaborated with Coverdale on the Whitesnake unplugged acoustic album, Starkers in Tokyo.

After Whitesnake, he played in the band Manic Eden, which also featured singer Ron Young, previously of the band Little Caesar, bassist Rudy Sarzo, and drummer Tommy Aldridge.

He has since turned to painting and is an accomplished airbrush artist; further details are available on his website.

  • @Naolt1 Those were the days when they played music 24/7 on MTV and most of it was rock. Today MTV is a total sell out they should have stuck to the original formula but I guess times change, it was great while it lasted. Now MTV is just another channel on the remote that I hardly ever go to. I can still hear the old MTV theme song in my head "Da, dada, da da da dant"... That was a great time for music.

  • I remember videos like this on MTV. When it was Music Television, now it has become Morphed Television.
