Album Notes Limited edition promo version of 1,000 copies comes in an envelope-like slipcase with a wax type seal.When it became known that Vivian Campbell had left Whitesnake and been replaced by six-string master Steve Vai in 1989, the rock world and guitar fans everywhere waited with bated breath for the new line-up's first album together. Vai was supposed to join forces with Whitesnake's other guitarist, Adrian Vandenberg, but a freak injury to Vandenberg's hands prior to the sessions meant that Vai handled all the guitar duties himself. While the album wasn't on par with such past releases as 1984's SLIDE IT IN and 1987's smash self-titled release, SLIP OF THE TONGUE was another hit--the band, and especially singer David Coverdale, was once again in fine Zeppelin-esque form. A re-recording of an earlier UK hit, "Fool For Your Loving," was an MTV favorite, while such raunchy rockers as the album-opening title track, "Cheap An' Nasty," and "Kittens Got Claws" fitted in well with the then-thriving party/glam metal climate. Once the world tour for SLIP OF THE TONGUE wrapped up, Coverdale would quietly retire Whitesnake. | |||||||||||||||

Report this review Review created: 10/09/07 by: I had this CD a few years back and it got stolen. Its a great album, so had to be replaced. Not quite as good as 1987 in my opinion, but still a great rock album from a great band. Review ID: 10000000004378174 Was this review helpful?

Report this review This to my mind was whitesnakes finest,coverdale is one of my favorite vocalists, and was in top form for this, he even did fool for your loving in a higher key than the original version.steve vai put on a fantastic masterpiece of guitar overlays, well mixed and orchestrated. that guitarists before and after him, havent ever been capable of. while the guitar parts are technically brilliant, they are also very melodic, which isnt always the case in his original work, so this is also my favorite steve vai album !!, i know the lyrics and subject matter is quite infantile at times, but it is 80,s cock rock !!
