Whitesnake First Play & David Coverdale Interview
On Friday night we have a very special Whitesnake treat for you
Nicky Horne will be giving the brand new Whitesnake single, 'Love Will Set You Free', its first EVER radio play on Friday after 6pm.
The song is the first to be lifted from the new Whitesnake album, Forevermore.
And Mr David Coverdale himself will be on air to introduce the song and to talk a little about the album.
Classic Rock Magazine & Whitesnake have teamed up to produce a brand new WHITESNAKE - FOREVERMORE FANPACK. It is released on 25 March but you can pre-order it right now.
The Whitesnake Fan Pack follows hard on the heels of Classic Rock's acclaimed Slash and Motörhead packs. It includes a 132-page magazine along with Forevermore, Whitesnake's brand spanking new studio album. There's also an official Whitesnake pin badge and a giant-size poster.
Fans who buy the Whitesnake Fan Pack will be able to hear Forevermore three weeks before it goes on sale in the record stores.
What's more, the Fan Pack version of Forevermore comes with two bonus live tracks - Slide it In and Cheap An' Nasty - recorded live at Whitesnake's headline set at the Castle Donington Monsters Of Rock festival in 1990. So that's 13 brand new studio tracks plus two bonus ones - a lot of Whitesnake music to sink your fangs into!
The bonus live tracks will not be on the record-store version of Forevermore. What's more, the CD cover for the Fan Pack Whitesnake album will feature exclusive artwork that will not be used on the record store equivalent.
The bonus live tracks will serve as an appetizer for Whitesnake's forthcoming Live @ Donington 1990 DVD and double CD to be released in summer 2011.
The Fan Pack magazine - which is edited by Geoff Barton - contains a major, all-new interview with Whitesnake mainman David Coverdale, conducted at his home in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. Forevermore was recorded at Coverdale's home studio and Classic Rock was on hand to put together a track-by-track guide to the new album.
Additionally, there are new interviews with the other Whitesnake band members: guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, bassist Michael Devin and drummer Brian Tichy.
There's a wealth of exclusive, never-before-seen pictures of Coverdale and his band, taken by top US photographer Travis Shinn while Forevermore was being made in Tahoe.
Elsewhere in the Fan Pack magazine, we talk to the musicians who knew Coverdale when he started out as a club singer in north-east England. We analyse the multi-platinum success of the band's legendary 1987 album and also review Whitesnake's entire back catalogue of albums.
David Coverdale says:
"After such a rewarding love affair with Classic Rock and its readers these last few years, we are honoured beyond words to be given our very own very special 'Snake edition.
"We hope you all enjoy the action-packed, high-octane hissstory sic and especially our new Forevermore album, and are inspired to come out and play with us this summer on the UK tour.
"We remain your obedient serpents..."
