Coverdale was specifically hired by Deep Purple to [And i quote] "Match Robert Plant",they wanted someone to come out and BE Percy,Deep Purp always wanted to match the competition,and they randomly took a Plant-stalker and brought him off the streets and into their lives,they got lucky and got themselves a good singer,but i bet David spends his nights watching Robert in his sleep.
Wrong singer. Ian Gillan was brought into the band on Blackmore's instigation as he wanted "...a screamer like Robert Plant."

Whitesnake: In The Still of the Night (Coming Home Studios) (B0006129-09) (2006)
I have this dvd. It's an entertaining performance superbly captured on film.
That's it. The version I have had a free cd of the soundtrack (some of) included.

You all need to understand that the people in the U.S. do not know anything about David Coverdale other than the "Whitesnake 1987" and "Slip Of The Tongue" so they view them as a hair band because they are ignorant. They know nothing about the great music before and after that period that he did with his world total sales of at least 40 million which say what you want is NOT shabby. "Coverdale/Page" is so good that I am waiting for them to do new material...and NO I am not joking. It was a brilliant project except for the fact that Mr. Coverdale does not know how to communicate with his audience and drops the "f" bomb all over the place.
Have you seen the Whitesnake DVD that was released a year or so ago? Excellent show recorded in London with the old bugger still in fine voice. Well worth a look.

That's perfectly understandable; anyone who tried to steal Jimmy Page naturally would have questionable integrity.
Some of the guitarists who have been in Whitesnake:
John Sykes
Steve Vai
Adrian Vandenberg
Doug Aldrich
Why would Coverdale want to steal Page? The only advantage is in the realms of publicity.

Seeing as they appear to have a back catalogue larger than Frank Zappa and J S Bach combined, could any kind soul give me a starting point?

wSo much better then "WetnBed."
I shall now examine a herring.

Don't worry. In the words of a wise Englishman, "all will be revealed." In the meantime, happy fonduing
My life is reprieved. I shall design a particularly box shaped car with its lights constantly on in your honour.

If I revealed his identity, I'd have to shoot you
Then I do not wish to know. I shall return to my fondue set.

Identical twin or is this another mystery of why you never saw Clark Kent and Superman in the same room at the same time
Who is this Clark Knut of which you speak? I am Styrbjorn Johan-Johan-Johnason. My adopted father had a stutter. After a hard days work designing inappropriate furniture I like nothing more than chatting with my Zeppelin chums on the interweb. The days are dark here in Sweden, there is little to do.

Lord Jagged
Is that you?
Lord Jagged is my identical twin brother. We were seperated at birth and I was adopted by a Swedish couple, Mr and Mrs Volvo.

Doh, ok then.
Come to Sweden. We have many interesting Elk. And nude women. But not together.

Why did Robert Plant hate David Covedale?

Correct. Blackmore was well aware of Page, both guitarists had been session musicians in the early/middle 60's, Blackmore primarily playing on Joe Meek productions. Sacking Rod Evans and hiring Ian Gillan was a direct reaction to the first Zeppelin opus, which culminated in the seminal "Deep Purple In Rock" album. Which everyone should own.
