Here he goes again on his own. Going down the only road hes ever known.
OK, David Coverdale isnt totally on his own. The 57-year-old singer has a new Whitesnake lineup behind him. But he is going down the only road hes ever known on an old-fashioned, heavy-metal double bill: Whitesnake and Judas Priest play the Comcast Center on Tuesday.
As Coverdale pointed out in a phone interview from his Lake Tahoe home, Youre not going to listen to Whitesnake for environmental songs or to change your life. Youre going to listen to Whitesnake for hard rock.

hmmmmmmmmm......a 57 year old rock singer who’s band name refers to a penis? I think a better name might be Viagra Snake......looks like his politics went they same way his dick did.

Wanna see gay? Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki3TpFZY7cU
Uhh, shirtless guys working out in a gym while Halford is um, doing push ups? Except I can only assume that is what it is because he goes up and down and you only see him from shoulders up. But noooo, he was too cool to be gay! ha

Oh you can bet I am! I am scoping out Amazon now for the download album because I’m an inpatient sort.

I never knew that. Gross! Never saw their album covers, hmm? One of them shows a nude woman straddling a "snake".
Honest.

He’s still preoccupied with 1985.

No, never saw them. I was just a wee headbanger in the 80s. Too wide-eyed and innocent to notice the naughty stuff, anyway. By the time I would have noticed, hair bands were out and I wasn’t particularly buying their albums.
Still in love with Joe Elliott, though, but that’s a fantasy for another day. :)

The above album kicks butt!
I really don't care about the political opinions of celebrity critters, but Whitesnake was a pretty good band. I'm an '80s kid, so what do I know. I like saying Poison is better than Nirvana just to watch 90s era grunge fans heads explode. :-)

Wow, how pathetic.
Two things:
One, look at the pic in the article. He’s old, but not in an unnattactive way. With short hair and a nice suit, he’d be the picture of English gentility. Instead, he wears a wig that isn’t fooling anyone, and a black leather jacket. Sorry, Dave, it doesn’t work.
Two, how sad is it that this guy became a US citizen just to promote Barack Obama???

"I LOVE Priest, although Ive only started noticing as an adult how incredibly gay thier videos were and think to myself, how did I not know???"
Now that I know what it's about, I can't listen to "Eat Me Alive" anymore.

Ted Nugent is the only Rockin Roller that is conservative that I know of. Johnny Ramone who passed away 5 years ago was another one. Johnny got so much hate from the media in 2002 when inducted into the RR Hall of Fame in 2002 when he said, "God Bless George Bush and God bless America". If it wasn't for Johnny, the Ramones would of broken up in 1980. They retired in 1996.
I still wear my Ramones eagle T-shirt with pride.
Hey ho, lets go.

In this instance, the Herald is a newspaper which leans to the right. FWIW, the editorial board endorsed McCain over Obama in the most recent Presidential election and in the past favored the Republican candidate (Bush, for instance). This column was in the entertainment section.
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
Wow, a rock star holds left wing views. I’m shocked.
