I believe Kaos Fan was simply saying that Ten and Newman are as close to the classic Whitesnake sound as we have today. I have to agree. Ten plays the same type of powerful melodic rock that Coverdale popularized in the late 80's (and has forgotten ever since). While Ten may not be the "Rolls Royce" that Whitesnake was in 1987, they certainly have proven that they can deliver a worthwhile performance rather consistently, something DC has not been able to do. Remember, two or three good albums out of about 15 is not consistent. I love David Coverdale/Whitesnake, but I can't help wonder what great music we would have gotten if Coverdale could have held it together with John Sykes a bit longer.
