Forget that. I'm going old school and bringing viola into mainstream rock. John Cale couldn't do it, but I will succeed. :) As for the bass thing, I have a call in to Chris Squire about borrowing his 70s-era Rikenbacker.

Doesn't this song have a viola? I know Vandenberg or whoever that is happens to flop the bow around on his Charvel, but somebody back in the day told me it was actually a viola. Even if it's not you get to enjoy Tawny Kitaen getting some practice in before writhing around on the hood in Here I Go Again.

To my untrained ears, that has always sounded like a cello rather than a viola, which is pretty much an over-sized violin. After a little research, it seems that the musical "string" passage was actually played on synthesizer by keyboardist Don Airey.

What a great rock song. I've always thought that it had more riffs and hooks per square inch than any tune ever written in that idiom. I love the middle section when it changes gears into that spacey interlude. The guitar solo (unfortunately mostly buried by Coverdale or the producer) over those huge chords, at about 4;00 in, is just breathtaking. It's a solo any guitar player would give his nuts to have laid (lain?) down. BTW, the guitar work on that song--and everything except the solo on "Here I Go Again", which is by Adrian Vandenberg--is by the mostly unsung John Sykes.

I was just glad to be able to help calm you guys down and keep your thoughts positive.
