From the press release as I couldn't write this shit up:
Just in time for Valentine's Day: the perfect blend of rock and romance. Whitesnake has partnered with VEVO for the world premiere of the brand new video "Love Will Set You Free." As of today, Monday, February 14th, the video can be viewed here on VEVO within the U.S. and Canada.
Directed by Devin DeHaven/Fortress Entertainment (Papa Roach, Method Man, Talib Kweli), the video was shot in Lake Tahoe, NV. "Love Will Set You Free" is the first single from the forthcoming Whitesnake album, Forevermore, due out on March 29th in North America and March 25th in Europe. The digital album is available for pre-order today via Whitesnake.com and includes an instant track download of "Love Will Set You Free." Pre-order of the album will be made available at all digital stores on February 21st.
Forevermore finds founder/singer/songwriter David Coverdale and company returning to their no-holds-barred, bluesiest, sexiest rock n' roll roots. This will be Whitesnake's 11th album and the first release via the Italian-based Frontiers Records label. Forevermore was recorded, produced and mixed by Los Bros Brutalos (Coverdale, Doug Aldrich and Michael McIntyre) at Snakebyte Studios and Grumblenott Studios & Villas in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, with additional work at Casa Dala, Sherman Oaks, CA.
About Whitesnake
Formed in 1977, and steered by the legendary David Coverdale, Whitesnake carry a rightful reputation as one of the world's leading rock n' roll bands. Coverdale's blues roots, combined with a feral sense of rockin' and rollin', have consistently shaped the 'Snake's sound along with Coverdale's love and appreciation of impeccable musicianship. Whitesnake's ascent to the very top of the rock n' roll heap was confirmed with 1987's self-titled mega-platinum album, which saw two massive Top 10 hits, two #1 singles with "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love" and a virtual 24-hour domination of MTV around the world. Whitesnake is David Coverdale (vocals), Doug Aldrich (guitars), Reb Beach (guitars), Michael Devin (bass) and Briian Tichy (drums).
Holyfuckingshite, Coverdale looks way old. I mean, I know that he is, but I was prepared for some soft lighting, filtered lenses, anything that would ease the lines on that face.
Oh wait, there actually was that stuff! Including a bunch of silhouette shots where you can't see a goddamn thing for fear that you'd see one of those creepy creatures from Descent lurking about in one of Coverdale's crevices.
At least the stripper chick in the video looks age appropriate-like she was twenty one when "Here I Go Again" was first released.
If you watch as they're putting up the letters on the marquee, it spells "Great White Lion Snake and Puppet Show." At least they put the band name first.
The song itself? It sucks, just like you'd expect it to. Someone needs to tell that guitarist that his solo sucks almost as bad as his posing.
Finally, does Whitesnake really have their own wine? Twenty bucks says it's made out of grape Kool-Aid and that stripper's ass sweat.

What world was this band one of the greatest in rock?
Ooops, in what world was this band one of the greatest in rock?
Easy: David Coverdale's world. Maybe Brad Company. He was always a fan of Coverdale-era Purple. Come Taste The Band always cracks me up. Simply one of the worst album titles ever.
A title like that is the reason Spinal Tap had to be made.
Obvious, if you barely knows here I Go Again.
Whitesnake > Arcade Shit anyday, way more talnted musicians, listen to their song Slip of the Tongue and tell me it doesn't rock.
Arcade Fire still sucks, give me Whitesnake and Destruction's new albums anyday over that lame crap of Arcade Fire
