Whitesnake rock XMusic

The XMusic Shop was the venue for a special one-off show by Whitesnake’s Doug Aldrich and Brian Tichy at the weekend. An impressive crowd of fans gathered for the workshop-come-gig event which saw the players showcase their instruments of choice and blast through a stellar set of rock anthems.

Doug, as a Marshall representative, gave the audience a run-through of JMD:1 amp and Brian’s powerhouse performance left every drummer in the audience hoping Santa can fit a Natal Traditional Custom Drum Kit in his sack this year.

In upbeat form despite a hectic year of touring, Doug and Brian chatted casually from the stage enthusiastically espousing the virtues of the gear and on several occasions stating how impressed they were with The Xmusic Store itself.

They were then joined by Marshall multi-instrumentalist Chris George on bass for a roof-raising jam that included Hendrix’s ‘Voodoo Chile’, Stevie Wonder’s ‘Superstition’ and The Who’s ‘My Generation’. The trio closed the night with a blistering verion of Thin Lizzy’s ‘Jailbreak’ and a promise that Whitesnake will be back to these shores soon!
