Whitesnake Gets New Bassist, Beauty Salons Out of Hairspray

Watch out depleting ozone layer! The hair metal righteousness that is Whitesnake is back together with a new bassist, a full line-up, an upcoming album, and enough cans of AquaNet to make the need for tanning booths obsolete. Whitesnake has recruited bass player and singer Michael Devin to slip into some tight pants with them onstage. Devin, who was already playing with Whitesnake drummer Brian Tichy in Lynch Mob, is incredibly grateful for this chance with the band, despite the environmental atrocities that might ensue:

It’s an honour to be welcomed into the Whitesnake family. I’m a big fan. Whitesnake is notorious for exciting musicianship, David’s history is rich, and I’m very proud to be here.

Alongside bassist Michael Devin, the current version of Whitesnake includes drummer Brian Tichy, guitarists Doug Aldrich, Reb Beach and keyboardist Timothy Drury. 

Now that the band has all its members in place, it plans on releasing a new album in 2011 with Frontier Records and going on a subsequent tour.

What can we expect from the new Whitesnake? Probably a lot of “howling at the moon.” It will surely shine extra bright through the thin veil that masquerades as our atmosphere.
