Whitesnake's former drummer Cozy Powell had left the band in January 1985, and they spent 6 months trying musicians for the role, until they chose Aynsley Dunbar in September 1985.
But in 1986 David Coverdale has to take a rest, and in August 1986, he resumes his activities, now without Murray or Sykes. At the end of 1986, Dunbar is out of the band too.
Soon later, it's released the '1987' album, with help from Adrian Vandenberg (guitar, later Sykes' replacement in the band), Don Airey (keyboards) and Bill Cuomo (keyboards). With a smashing song, 'Still of the night'. Sorry, many people think it's a Led Zep clone, but I love this song! Sykes' playing is Immense, Amazing, as well as the other performers! Rock'n'roll!!! Ah, the album was called 'Whitesnake' in the States.
