WHITESNAKE NEW DVD/LIVE "MADE IN JAPAN"

WHITESNAKE To Release Yet Another Live Album In July - Made In Britain




In a new interview with The Rockpit, WHITESNAKE mainman David Coverdale says that the band have another live album in the works:


"We’ll also be releasing a double live CD called Made In Britain in
July," he says. "It was recorded on the 2011 UK tour and an extra CD
tentatively called Whitesnake The World Record recorded all over the
fucking place. Very ambitious."





Read the entire chat at The Rockpit.


As previously reported, Whitesnake's live concert Made In Japan,
will be released on Deluxe 2CD/DVD Edition, Blu-ray and DVD in the UK on
Monday, April 22nd and Tuesday, April 23rd in North America. Whitesnake
co-headlined the Loud Park festival on October 15th, 2011 at Saitama
Super Arena in Japan during their Forevermore World Tour.





The performance was initially recorded for Japanese TV and future
Loud Park promotions, but after three songs were broadcast on a Loud
Park highlights program in Japan, Whitensake received unprecedented
requests for this performance to be made available for general release.


Having spent most of 2012 editing and mixing the Japanese concert in
stunning HD as a multi format DVD-CD in 5.1 and stereo, just prior to
commencing the Year Of The Snake 2013 World Tour, this exceptional
performance is a welcome addition to the history of Whitesnake live
releases. Now fans can relive the irresistible magic of Whitesnake in
concert any time their heart and loins may desire!





The Forevermore songs alone are worth the price of admission, not
forgetting the classic Whitesnake songs, 'Is This Love', 'Still Of The
Night' and 'Here I Go Again', all performed at the height of their
musical powers. It's all here. This is what Whitesnake fans, new and
old, have been clamouring for. Highlights include blistering guitar work
from the band's six string guitar slingers, Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach,
who both celebrate their 10th anniversary with the band this year.






Whitesnake also features the earth-shaking rhythm section, The
Wrecking Crew featuring Michael Devin (bass) and Briian Tichy (drums),
who anchor the deep and dirty foundation of Whitesnake. The band is
accompanied by the swirling sonic tapestries of special guest
keyboardist Brian Ruedy, and of course, the chest beating, seductive
vocals of front man and founder, David Coverdale.





After hearing the sound check recordings from the different Japanese
venues, the band decided to include them in the package as special
bonus content. They agreed that everything would be related to their
2011 Japanese tour. So, when you think about it, it is appropriate
they've called the project Made In Japan.



Another amazing night to remember and to share with all the fans!

WHITESNAKE's David Coverdale To Work With LED ZEPPELIN's Jimmy Page Again?





Metalpaths conducted an interview with WHITESNAKE mainman David
Coverdale who talks about the new DVD/CD (Made In Japan), the upcoming
release of another live album (Made In Britain and The World Record) and
the possibility of working again with LED ZEPPELIN's Jimmy Page.
Regarding a new Whitesnake record, David stated that he and Doug
(Aldrich) are more than happy to take up the challenge of writing new
music though it may not be quite what some people expect.





A few excerpts can be found below:


On "Made In Japan" DVD: "Originally there were no plans to release a
DVD this year but our agreement to headline Loud Park in Japan included
our promise to let the organizers use three songs from our show for a
special TV presentation. When we saw and hear the fantastic footage I
called Frontiers, our record company and asked if they would want to go
with a DVD too and they were very positive. Personally, I am thrilled we
have a visual record of the Forevermore World Tour which is one of my
all time favorites…"


On upcoming Made In Britain DVD: "It’s called Made In Britain and
The World Record. Our release schedule is not your problem…It was the
original release plan before we decided to release the Whitesnake Made
In Japan DVD and soundtrack to coincide with the tour. The Made In
Britain CD features different songs recorded on the UK tour and The
World Record features songs taken from all over the world from Sao Paolo
to Helsinki. So, with both projects you have a very complete record of
all the music we played on the world tour."


On how has been to be working with Jimmy Page: "Wonderful memories
and we maintain a wonderful friendship. I’m looking forward to seeing
him in London soon to discuss putting together a special edition of
COVERDALE/PAGE project…"


On the new Whitesnake record: "Both Doug and I have discussed we are
more than happy to take up the challenge of writing new music and
taking the band back into the studio, though it may not be quite what
some people expect, but, it will be Whitesnake for sure…"
