Coverdale Retires

[glpg80]

David Coverdale announced his retirement.

 

[Floyd Eye]

I thought he was dead.

 

[RaceU4her]

if someone came up to me and said "asshole, Coverdale is the best rock singer ever", id really have no argument against.

I thought he was dead.

Just his voice

Bring on Dino

Watched his video. I thought it was a tranny or a fake ai video for a minute. Still not sure actually….

 

[SBlue]

I thought he retired in 1988!?

 

[JerEvil]

Took long enough!

Sad to see but it was past time. I wish him the best in retirement.

Yeah I saw them over a decade ago and they were toned down at least a step and a half and he was struggling.

Love the band but he’s been done as long as Don Dokken.

 

[rsm]

some still don't know when to retire.

even thought it took him awhile to realize it, at least he did realize it.

I saw them in 2008 on GMM Festival, IIRC...and his singing was already rough back then.

funny story about that:
They played late in the afternoon, it was a hot sunny day and beer was flowing copiously... Def Leppard was playing right before Whitesnake on the main stage, but I missed that show completely, as I became a dreaded 'beer corpse' (like passed out fully), but like 10m (~33') away from the main stage.

When I finally woke up, there was a whole group around me cheering "He's alive!" and that was right when Whitesnake started. Looking back, the bands should've switched...
And to think I "slept" through a whole Def Leppard show, so closeby...

Oh, and Priest was headlining that day and they played pretty crappy too.

One of the best rock voices in history but one of the most insufferable assholes on the planet.

I want to say it’s unforgivable how he treated John Sykes. But it’s forgivable. There comes a time for self reflection. Hopefully before it’s not too late when it does happen.

He wasn't very nice to a lot of people.

Doug Aldrich is one of the most gentle souls there is and Coverdale really upset him by being an absolute douche canoe.

Rock star ego. How’s that working out for him? He looks like a tranny gilf…. With a wig….

That was Snake Plissken.

 

[Fiesta Red]

John Sykes

Atleast he manned up. DLR, Don Dokken, and Vince Neil aren't getting the memo.
