Shit I forgot Lord and Paice were in Whitesnake
Knew about Lord, never heard about Paice either though.
Regarding Hughes' vocals: he's great on the studio albums, but he went way over the top sometimes on the Mk. III/IV live records (during the title track especially). Shame really.

Agree with Nag on this one. Glenn Hughes as fantastic vocalist as he is, gets too carried away on live performances.
Best thing about that link MSLG was Walter Giardino for me. What a fucking legend. A great man for keeping Blackmore's spirit alive. Oh, and it's inevitable not to move your ass to Stormbringer's riff.

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off
I don't like this one. The biggest gripe I have against it is Coverdale (as well as the Hughes/Coverdale combination on many tracks), whose voice I find incredibly generic, fake and souless.
The main improvement from WDWTWA must be the riffs. Where that album had at most three worthy riffs, this one boasts "Burn", "Mistreated", "Lay Down, Stay Down" and "Sail Away" all of which have great riffs. Sadly, the rest of the songs don't offer any more interesting riffs (I mean, "Might Just Take Your Life" is a shameless rip-off of the "Woman From Tokyo" riff!).
On the other hand, the vocal melodies suffer. The formula here is as follows: generic bluesy verse/memorable, but banal and cliched chorus. Most of these choruses sound like some hair metal group penned them, dammit! Go listen to some Def Leppard or Bon Jovi and tell me it ain't true!
The biggest problem, though, is the experimentation. Don't get me wrong, I do love me some diversity, but these songs are failed experiments. I mean, "You Fool No One"? That's one suck-ass funk-rock throwaway! "A 200"? Sci-fi/Pink Floyd-style atmospheric-jam. And even on their more familiar genres, they sound stale and uninspired! "What's Goin' On Here" is an average blues-rock boogie. "Might Just Take Your Life", as I said before, is an inferior take on WFT and "Sail Away" is another stale soul-rock ballad
In the end, the only songs that I find great from all points of view are "Burn" and "Mistreated".

Might Just Take Your Life and Sail Away are classics

Heard this once and felt generally unimpressed. Should i spin it again, considering how highly i rank in rock and machine head?
