Agree, but Plant's vibrato and bending is a bit messy. Coverdale seemed more relaxed and in control

@@GordonHeaney that's true. But Page and even Kirk Hammett of Metallica are known for being sloppy lead players. I definitely don't think that Robert spent tons of time on his technique, but it's admittedly much more interesting than a very basic sounding blues solo.

@@hypnovertigo7200 Plant plays like 💩

hahahaha

yepo.

Damn, that's brilliant! 😄😄😄

Yep, that's how he wrote some Whitesnake songs

@@GordonHeaney i bet bluesier ones.

And he also plays keyboards. I think he mostly used keyboards to write those early Whitesnake songs.

Yes, but the keyboards on the whitesnake stuff is what makes it sound really dated, while the deep purple stuff never gets old

David also claims he had a hand in the guitar riff in Purple mistreated. I think Ritchie Blackmore thinks otherwise lol 😆.

That's not music, that's just noise! And get off my lawn! 😉

Plant actually used a few Pageisms!

@@TheKitchenerLeslie Or was Page using Plantisms? Remember how they would trade and mimic each other every night for years? 😉

@@hlyangel1 That would make Jimmy Page a boring guitar player.

David voice is a version of Paul Rogers. Paul turned down the Purple gig. So David's voice is more like Paul Roger's. I guess you can say he looked like Plant. The girls I know love Coverdale looks lol 😆 over Plants. What can you say at the end of the day all 3 are great frontmen and have awesome voices.

Not many are going to get the irony of that situation, LOL! If it happened? Best name for the whole project and album title > A Cold Day In Hell. 😉

Plant (who said Purple, Sabbath and Tull were shit bands) was probably envyous about the Coverdale/Page collaboration. I can understand him (just listen to shake my tree singed by David and then by Robert). Anyway Plant stole his style from Steve Marriott while David Coverdale has a completely different vocal timbre. This is objective.

Just don’t make that same joke to Sykes! 😅

I believe it was John Sykes.

@@Kroeber38 Sykes wrote 9 out of the 11 songs on 1987. Still a strong number.

@@Kroeber38 Long time Sykes fan. I don’t like how he was minimized by Coverdale. Honestly that was a thing that shouldn’t have even had to happen. Like so many underpaid musicians in a band fronted by an idealistic vocalist (especially in the 80’s). But yeah Coverdale was still awesome back then. Still, I just wonder how much more different it would have been if White Snake were more of a ‘band centric’ lineup than what they became. They’re the most iconic band of their style to only ever be identifiable by a single member. The other hair or glam or arena bands - or whatever (not a huge sub genre nut, call them what you will. Metal has too many sub genres….that sound too similar to be completely different) had at least a few instrumentalists that were notable faces to the vocalist. But unless you’re a guitarist, it’s likely that you’re never concerned about the bragging rights of seeing John Sykes over any of the dudes that came after. I know guys who saw Snake and are only forever partial to the satisfaction just because they know how much they would rather see Sykes. Met one dude who saw Sykes with Blue Murder. He said, Sykes was so badass he never looked at the guitar as he was playing and singing.

It's a bad feeling.

Lord!!! Cloverdale -- a cheap version of the real thing.

@@user-ws6rt2vm2k You know the old saying “Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.” lol.

Haha

My opinion, you are f'n DEAF.

My opinion, you are stupid !

Burn it down one side

This is Robert Plant with his band.

​@@wangobadankas4038 Don't you see too good?! it's Robert Plant

@@wangobadankas4038 Have you ever seen Robert Plant's solo project? Check it out. Robert and his band were really great!

Too much hair, I can't see.

@@allthatyoutouch3164 That's Plant

Nobody cares of your silly opinion. Silly is a very kind description

@@skunksmirch7185 But you didn't ignored. You red it and wrote comment. So you do care 🤣

Didn't Coverdale try to take credit for the guitar playing on the 87 album?? Lol

@@bls8959 Of THAT time, he definitely lied. Albeit embellished things quite a bit. His guitar playing while eventually decent, never even made it to the level of skill that his fellow guitarists (and even other band mates for that matter) were able to deliver on. I’ve listened to Coverdale for years. But yeah even the dudes who have worked with him have corroborated his overt bravado. Sykes parts are top of the line. Even Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden of the pre metal era were powerful players in their own right. But yeah, John Sykes was beyond what WS allowed him to accomplish. Personally I like his work with Tygers Of Pan Tang and Thin Lizzy a lot more. It felt like he was more of his own player. And the more I revisit things now. It feels like his White Snake material is oddly restrained when compared to everything else before and after. I happen to actually have the guitar tab book for 1987. Great guide to his style. Big insult to his legacy when you look at the cover and even band photos within that only show the overly-self-sedimental-self-sanctified images of Dave. Seriously. No matter how great someone is at what their talent involves, that’s like heresy. I’m pretty sure he had a hand in that.

You don't even believe what you wrote, so why write it?

@@TheKitchenerLeslie wtf does that mean? lol

@@TheFissionchips Two singers are better than Jimmy Page... the guy who wrote the most famous riffs in history? Get outta here with that trollery.

@@TheKitchenerLeslie are you high ? the only troll here is you. Page is an appalling paedo smack head mess, I can understand why you look up to him. lmao.

ps: i don't rate Page or his stolen riffs. There's only one British guitarist who I can respect and thats Allan Holdsworth RIP. Satanist freak Page couldn't shine his shoes if he tried.

So Coverdale is a better guitar player than Jimmy Page?

@@daveh3928 it was mistyping, smart ass

Coverdale

YEAH ...LIKE RITCHIE BLACKMORE 👍😉😎😊

Maybe that’s just his style of picking

😂😂😂

Robert is a better singer, but Coverdale was the better guitarist.

Nah Ritchie Blackmore is better than Pagie. Both are heroes and LIVE only Blackmore is better. Studio I go with Jimmy.

@@barryrammer7906 You, my friend, are "Truly Clueless!" I can think of 3 maybe four likeable songs by Deep Purple and Rainbow ( Richie Blackmore ). When it comes to Jimmy Page, there's literally too many songs to mention. None of which Blackmore has reached the caliber of. Page was/is a much more advanced and complexed player than Blackmore. Which is why Zeppelin dominated the music scene during their time, as Page was seen as one of the greatest guitarists ever. Page was seen as the number one guitarists until the Mighty Eddie Van Halen came upon the scene. Then it was game over for every guitarist because it was like Eddie came from a different planet! If someone thought they were hot sh!t behind guitar, all someone had to do was put on "Eruption" by Eddie, and it was game over. Eddie made every guitar player seem like an amateur, as he sent all guitarists back to the drawing board to learn new styles and techniques. Okay, all that aside. The reason why I called you "Clueless " is because the question was asked about Coverdale and Plant, NOT Blackmore and Page.
