Whitesnake was the brainchild of David Coverdale after his exit from Deep Purple in 1976, and currently the band has been going for over 45 years. Whitesnake has had a revolving door of some of the best musicians in rock history, but Coverdale remains the only constant member. Some of the guitarists to have graced the stage alongside the frontman are Steve Vai, John Sykes, Vivian Campbell, Warren DeMartini, Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, as well as studio ace Dann Huff who played the solo on the huge hit Here I Go Again when it was re-released in the late 80s.
