Coverdale has loong since been past his sell by date. Aside from 1987, Burn and Come Taste The Band there's really nothing he's done to impress me and even with those albums the key to their success was the talented people around Coverdale ie. Glenn Hughes and John Sykes etc. I can't for the life of me see why people don't see him as the charlatan he so obviously is. Read between the lines in the Classic Rock interview to see what I mean.

On record he might just get away with it. He could 'airbrush' the cracked notes along with the lines on his face (like he did with the 'Slip of the Tongue' photos.! Remember?) But live he just can't stop himself from screaming and he just can't do it anymore. I just wish he'd come out from under his own ego and give Glenn Hughes a shot at the perfect audience for Glenn by taking him out on tour (If he really must put us, er...you actually coz I won't be going, through one.)

Hey, is that the sound of shit hitting a fan????
