Did Whitesnake influence CD??

[gilld1]

Tho I keep searching
 for an answer,
I never seem to find what Im looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

This may get deleted but there's not much else going on here.

I heard this song for the first time in years on Sirius the other day and the "Street of Dreams" lyric stood out for obvious reasons.

So, was Axl rocking out to some old school Whitesnake during the CD lost years??  Discuss.

Nah but like u said not much is happening.

So long as we don't get threads about Axl's teeth , hair , clothes etc hahah

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still havent found what Im looking for.....

I for one wouldn't mind those topics. usually amicable and fun at least

[carmiedisco12]

I see ur point, but usually only results in Axl's aged his teeth/clothes/etc aren't as white/cool as they were.

To be honest reading and participating in those kinda threads makes me feel like a silly britney fan.....when did GNR fans become so dorky that we discuss Axl like he's our damn barbie doll....I thought it was abut rebellion/expression etc.

Unfortunately the music has played a VERY distant 2nd or soooo long the fans seemed to have forgotten as well.

Or a vacation.  Or maybe it's his favorite animated movie in recent years.

I know it's a stretch, to say the least, but like another post said it's better than Axl's wardrobe or Axl's taste in women, etc.

Looking back at the 80s, Whitesnake wasn't horrible.  They had a couple of awesome videos thanks to Tawny Kittaen.  It's not like I said "Did Enuff Z Nuff influence CD?"!! LOL

when in reality those are whiter / more 'in' than they used to be...

But yea rock isn't about fashion. it's about the message in it. and on cd it's deep.

John Sykes was/is a badass.

[LIGuns]

Yes I've seen better posts, but as you pointed out there is nothing else going on...And we do look silly, like Britney fans, discussing wardrobe and hygeine. Perhaps it's the calm before the storm.....

[oldgunsfan]

i didn't hear any whitesnake influences on CD

[ppbebe]

But i prefer the silliness of discussing wardrobe and hygiene(?) than of hateful whinnings that bore me silly.

funny thing I listened to it two days ago and I asked myself the same question, I've never noticed it before.
I'm not into Whitesnake but I like this particular song, Here I Go Again. so maybe yes, it's a "wink".
the fact is Chinese Democracy was made like a classic (but modern) rock album, with multiples influences, so why not, even if
Whitesnake is not the most relevant in my opinion.

[GeraldFord]

Dn't really hear a lot of Whitesnake in GN'R.

sort of, tehehe 
I wouldn't call it an influence tho.  similar sentiments here and there.

[Bodhi]

Nothing has ever been influenced by Whitesnake.....

[Silverchair]

^^
the wisest thing said. they did influence the Seattle grunge scene... to try their absolute hardest to kill the annoyance ghey 80s "metal".

[ppbebe]

weee I must admit i don't know much about Whitesnake or any snake but isn't it an old metal band like deep purple?

It had any influence on grunge??

[gilld1]

He was being sarcastic about the grunge thing.
