The Untold Truth Of Whitesnake

Whitesnake was one of the most famous hair metal bands of the late '80s, but they have origins far removed from the music they're best known for. The band was founded by David Coverdale, who had previously been the lead singer of Deep Purple, and Whitesnake's early albums reflect his blues-rock roots.

From the song they wrote for a blues legend to the three attempts at their most famous song, let's take a look at the untold truth of Whitesnake.
