Question: The two albums you did with Whitesnake were pretty successful...

Yeah. I'd known David Coverdale for years, he asked me to join, I was the first choice for the Whitesnake job. I think I was playing with someone else at the time, I can't remember, but before Jon and the before guy before Jon.

So I went over to Vancouver to play on it and found David in the most awful state. He was at his wits end, he couldn't sing very well. And, not that I remember but he told me I took him out for dinner and sat him down and said "Listen, you've really got something here, Don't give up hope".

I thought he was sensational and John Sykes was one of the best guitarists I've ever heard, at that time. I don't know before or since but he was just at that stage in his life where he was utterly brilliant.
