Good To Be Bad is pure and unadulterated Whitesnake, a classy recording that really doesn't require a more detailed description. Fans have waited almost eleven years for the release of a new studio album. The new album sounds so unmistakably, typically Whitesnake says David Coverdale: "For me, the heart and soul of Whitesnake remains the same." It's no surprise that Good To Be Bad has turned into more than a terrific album, but is without doubt one of the best releases in this band's long history. "For me, it has all the elements, all the ingredients that I enjoy about Whitesnake", says Coverdale. "It's a very solid, muscular, melodic rock record with a couple of fine ballads, so there's a little tenderness when the moment calls for it, and of course the ballads help balance out the chest beaters! I find it a very complete piece of work, actually. It covers a lot of musical ground, a positive chapter in the Book of Whitesnake." Review: Absolute corker. - Having read a few of the reviews about the album I thought I'd add my bit. This album is one of the best I have bought in a long time - it hasn't left my CD player for several weeks. What you get is what you'd expect, unless you are deluded. Whitesnake are a hard rock act that produce great music to be played loud. If you are looking for experimental jazz fusion in 12/19 time, cutting-edge grimy dubstep or Shakespearian eloquence then you should be looking elsewhere, a fact that some of the 1-star reviewers seem to have overlooked. On the other hand, if you are a fan of 80s rock, heavy riffs, fist-pumping choruses and outstanding guitar-playing, and want an album to stick on in the car at maximum volume on a sunny day, then get this album, fast. As a guitarist myself I would like to add that the solo-work is really impressive. Doug Aldrich is one of the few players who can play lightning fast, but equally well at a slower pace. Furthermore, the solos actually sound really bluesy, melodic and heartfelt, unlike some offerings of other shred guitarists, which often seem to be self-indulgent excercises in musical theory (Vai, Malmsteen etc.). So, all round hard rocking sweetness! Buy it and don't look back! Review: Pure Snake Venom! - An excellent return by DC and company. Have just given this it's first spin at high volume and this is my initial reaction. The first three tracks smash your eardrums to pieces before a let up in the pace with "All I want All I need". I can see "Can you hear the wind blow" becoming a firm favorite with the whitesnake faithful. The record gets more whitesnake in the mid and later sections, "All for love" sounds like it could well have been taken straight from "1987" and "A fool for love" smacks heavily of crying in the rain. Anyone who knows about Doug Aldrich will quickly realise from the opening track that this record has got his fingerprints all over it. DC is on fine form and the band sound great. All in all a mighty fine effort, I reckon after few spins we will love it almost as much as 1987. If this is to be DC's last record he has definitely gone out all guns a blazing. But if he can still produce stuff this good I hope (and I won't be alone in saying this) that he can find enough snake venom left in the tank for one last hurrah. ## Images ![Good To Be Bad - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uPu6Qcx9L.jpg) ![Good To Be Bad - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oh6OGyQ9L.jpg) ![Good To Be Bad - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81diryYLlqL.jpg) ![Good To Be Bad - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EMKXYy7uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute corker. *by W***R on 26 August 2008* Having read a few of the reviews about the album I thought I'd add my bit.

David Coverdale has a distinctive voice and although he may not belt out heavy tunes like he did 25/30 years ago it is by no means a dud. The album is littered with references to songs from the band's history within the lyrics, Lay Down your Love and Got What You Need are prime examples. Please buy the album for the music and not for the ephemera - stickers, postcards and posters the plural is a little artistic licence and obviously refers to the fact that there is one of each in each box, one sticker etc. The bonus CD is pretty decent including an acoustic version of Summer Rain and a live version of Take Me With You although with a back catalogue as impressive as Whitesnake has no doubt we would all have a favourite track we would like to have heard live in its place. The music I would give 5 stars to but I personally bought this for the extra goodies and although it looks great I would have liked a few extra freebies so this rating is purely for the package as a whole. So many of the 1970's and 1980's bands are still going strong and it's nice to see that Whitesnake are among them and I'm looking forward to seeing them at the MEN Arena soon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/49885817-good-to-be-bad](https://www.desertcart.at/products/49885817-good-to-be-bad) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
