Zitat des Tages von David Coverdale:
I've always loved music, very simply, as a vehicle to express myself and that hasn't changed.
Most of the albums that have taken long have been related to illness and fatigue or producer problems.
With all the highs and lows I've had in my life, I wouldn't change anything. So no, I don't, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.
You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins.
In the last couple of years I've been facing down a lot of the demons of the past and trying to find out, who I am, It's something I think I'll be doing for the rest of my life.
Whitesnake more than most rock bands would get a very significant percentage of women in the audience and those were the ones I'd hear the voices because from where I am on stage is a pretty good spot.
I saw what Purple meant to people and I still hear it now when I'm in Europe. I'm always shocked that I'm still asked about Purple because it was such a long time ago.
I'm the last person to ask 'what do you remember' from a particular time period... I like to learn from the past... not 'live' in it.
I don't avoid confrontation, people should know that.
I've never been uncomfortable putting my heart on display, my feelings on display, certainly with an audience.
I would hope it's better, but I'm actually acknowledging now that I want to explore all these levels from a whisper to a scream with this gift I've been given.
Not necessarily, a lot of my songs are firmly tongue in cheek.
The critics love to get out their knives and dine on Coverdale. But the worse the criticism gets, the more successful I become.
Artistic development is a thing of the past, sadly.
I stand by every decision I've made throughout my career and my life, good or bad, up or down.
I think we have two very important missions in life. One is to find out who we really are and the other one is to taste as much of life and experience as much of life as we can.
All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.
Hard rock may have faded from the media for a time, but I've always been able to make a living, if not in America, then in the rest of the world.
I've always thought live albums were cop-outs.
I'm embracing new technology to record my songs, and it's a wonderful way to interact with people who love Whitesnake and help spread the gospel of the 'Snake, and I'm having fun doing it.
The audience will make you feel like a demigod. But when you leave the stage, get back to being human.
I take care of my voice; I'm working out the way I would do my body, so that stays in shape.
The other thing that was very noticeable on that tour, not so much in the video, was the new young element that were coming to our shows... I started to see some very young people in the audience... maybe 14, 15, 16 years old.
