<title>And the new drummer for Whitesnake is... Tommy Aldrige..</title>
<description> http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&amp;amp;newsitemID=185361

His 3rd stint in the band.. we'll see how this tenure turns to be..

Always thought he was a bit too metal for Whitesnake - loved the groove that Chris Frazier brought to the band (didn't see the line up with Tichy).. so not to pumped from a musical point of view. He does, however, a bit of Whitesnake hey day legacy to the table.

But since giving it more re-listens, I really have come to enjoy the snot out of it just as much. my only gripe is why Dave seemed to actually WANT to use his gruffer/live sounding voice on that 'Fare Thee Well' track. Great little tune but he sounds trashed vocally there. Weird...T]]></description>

If so--that'd be a pretty prolific writing process for DC &amp; Aldrich. Gotta say I do really dig both those two cds with Aldrich on board. He &amp; Dave seem to click with great material that's very true to the '87 album. Keep it comin'!! T]]></description>

Too bad he's gone. Aldridge is an incredible drummer and a legend, but a tad too heavy and metal for their more bluesier stuff.]]></description>

Forevermore is an interesting album for the fact that other than the title track, It really hasn't struck me. (GTTB also)<br /><br />Curious since I've been a fan of the 'snake since the late 80's.]]></description>

Tommy Aldrige..</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928283,928298#msg-928298</link><description><![CDATA[ Yeah, Tommy is a great drummer. Doug Aldrich is the one who really makes the current line-up for me though. He's fantastic and his style fits David to a tee. I really enjoyed Forevermore. In fact, in my opinion, that's the best CD Frontiers has released in eons. The title track in particular is immense. I never listened to Good to Be Bad too much for what ever reason but Forevermore was stellar and really clicked with me. I'd love to hear Whitesnake do another CD just like it. :)<br /><br />Paul]]></description>

At the end of the day that's the thing, if it's good music it's good music!]]></description>
