strongo, i bet you were born to walk alone

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

(yes, including the chorus from "gigantic")

"watching as mediocrity gets canonised around you in this inevitable, grinding fashion is even more dispiriting than dealing with the monolith of the existing canon of mediocrity"

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

i always heard it growing up as "like a prisoner i was born to walk alone" which makes slightly less sense

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

marcello i think we have some years to go before whitesnake is "canonized"

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

no yeah this song rocks.

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

I think the correct phrase here is "cold dead hands."

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

al if you look out your window soon you may see me triumphantly striding off to get a sandwich while listening to this

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

no sandwich has ever seemed more important, more fraught with potential heartbreak

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Whitesnake are the salmonella of rock.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

maura.com (12:52:11 PM): it's just another pastrami in need of rescue

I did actually put this on after being fired once. I also once listened to Hall & Oates "She's gone" after being dumped.

― jim, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

tawny kitaen is dancing on that sandwich

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

It's alright. I can almost feel it. I mean, I can feel my way to what I'm supposed to feel, but once I get there, I can't quite feel the thing itself. The thing itself eludes my feeling, a soapy breast.

Tracer Hand on Tues

They're like a power ballad version of Whitehouse.

Norman that's a DISGRACEFUL SLUR to INDUSTRIAL PIONEERS OF DARKWAVE CORE

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder who has had more success with women in string bikins: David Coverdale or William "Don't Call Me Paul McKenna" Bennett?

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, BEST FOOTNOTE I'VE READ TODAY:

Park Avenue is indeed a lonely street of dreams.

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

i am shocked -- shocked -- that this seems to be breaking down along british/american lines

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

I would expect Mr Abie has had more success in that field than both of them put together.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

Cock-oriented bollocks sung over torpid blues-rock or yelled over puny white noise generator swooshes, take yer pick. Either is better than an indie-rock version of Whitehoise, I suppose.

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

Haha. My hate springs from selling possibly thousands of copies of their albums when I was in the record shop. I still feel a bit queasy when I see that album cover w/the woman being fucked by a giant snake.

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

(xpost) This article suggests otherwise:

i love that cover!

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

i remember minna used it as a jumping off point for a thread about women's back dimples

they are proof that women are descended from violins

PP, just stop putting in punctuation for your link text for the moment. The 2.1 site has that problem fixed and the code should be rolled out here before month's end.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

I miss doorag :(

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

I'm more of a "Still of the Night" man myself.

― darin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

"is this love?" isn't bad either.

i always wanted to hear that coverdale/page album

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

Now THAT was a bad album cover.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

DO YOU SEE etc.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

Ew. A cock with a cock.

("Here I Go Again" = awesome, btw)

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

all i see is a desire on Coverdale/Page to school the youngsters of the 80's on traffic safety. originally they were going to do a whole series of albums with different road signs on them for this purpose. no sinister implications there!

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

a desire on coverdale/page's part, i mean.

or perhaps just plain old desire on their...parts. ewwww.

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

coverdale's whispery breakdown leading into the guitar solo on 'still of the night' is a moment without peer in the world of overproduced '87 pop metal (excepting def leppard--maybe).

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

I've heard he's a decent fellow, Coverdale

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

TS: "Here I Go Again" vs "Armageddon It"

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

i'm going to go with here i go again, but if you threw up photograph or pour some sugar on me, i might have a tough time

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

here i go again is better than armageddon it!

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

I was trying to match up the bombast; maybe "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is more appropriate...?

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

(I'd also pick "Here I Go Again" over "Armageddon It".)

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

my favorite def lep song of that era is "animal," though i realize this is a minority opinion

s/t lp is the jam. Don't deny!! Even the deep cuts cut deep!!

I remember an older friend gave me this on on tape alone with a frosted pink lip gloss on Christmas and ugh IT WAS THE COOLEST.

This song is one of the greatest ever in the world no question.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 24 October 2012 15:51 (thirteen years ago)

one of my favorite parts of The Fighter was when walberg & bale walk into the ring to this song, singing along and air punching

― terrell sug (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 24 October 2012 17:09 (thirteen years ago)

Ain't wasting no more time iirc

two years pass...

"I used to [sing it a lot], because the words, I thought the words fits me. The words makes me feel like, yeah, it's me again. [It goes] "Like a drifter I was born to walk alone, 'cause I know what it means to walk alone the lonely street of dreams." And it's true because it's just dreams. Dreams that I would be home one day, dreams that I would be free, dreams that Guantanamo would be closed."

my vote for the new ILM board description.

― enochroot, Thursday, 28 June 2018 21:44 (seven years ago)

didn't know until recently that Crying In the Rain was a re-recording of a song they'd already made on their 1982 album Saints An' Sinners

― omar little, Thursday, 28 June 2018 21:50 (seven years ago)

Eleven-year lurker posting for the first time. Ironically, this was the first thread that caught my attention on ILM, due to the "hobo" revelation.

― Andrew "Hit Dice" Clay (PBKR), Friday, 29 June 2018 01:42 (seven years ago)

Hobo version is also on Saints & Sinners.

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 29 June 2018 01:58 (seven years ago)

This song is fine. "Still of the Night" is the best Zep rip outside of Billy Squier's "Lonely is the Night." Everything else I've heard from Whitesnake is garbage.

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 June 2018 02:12 (seven years ago)

For most of their career before breaking big in 1987, Whitesnake mainly a serviceable Deep Purple w/o the confidence.

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 29 June 2018 02:16 (seven years ago)

I particularly resented how "Is This Love" throws solo Robert Plant-in-ballad-mode in the garbage can.

― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 29 June 2018 02:17 (seven years ago)

Whitesnake remained a bit less obvious in the Zep ripoff dept than their contemporaries in Kingdom Come

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIr9-Gn-SNs

― omar little, Friday, 29 June 2018 02:43 (seven years ago)

i liked how Plant called Coverdale "David Coverversion"

― omar little, Friday, 29 June 2018 02:44 (seven years ago)

Been singing this shit when reasonably alone since this dumb thread re appeared
