My head is going to explode.

Glam rock started at least in 1968 and was nailed by David Bowie with
Ziggy. I will admit ignorance here, if Whitesnake's early stuff was
glam-like then so be it but I doubt it. If you meant instead a direct 
line
to heavy metal, then that's wrong also, IMHO. If you meant Glam 
metal, I
still think it's a stretch. Whitesnake of the 80's was not glam. Again
this
is all IMHO, but glam has to first be pretty boys and stage presence
before > music. Whitesnake had neither, except David Coverdale.

The later version of Whitesnake was a "Hair" or "Bighair" Band and most
people consider that to be a subgroup of Glam.
That makes more sense the other way round - Glam a subgroup of Hair. 
With makeup.

Opinions vary, eh?



"Slide It In" did not have three Deep Purple band members on the 
album.
Paice was back with Deep Purple. In fact to call Coverdale Deep Purple
would be like saying Blaze Bayley is Iron Maiden, and I at least 
recognize
the different IM songs. (On the third hand, I didn't know IM had a
different first singer).
I saw them with the original singer playing Aberdeen Music Hall in 
~1979. I missed Def Leppard playing Aberdeen University Union touring 
their first album ~1980 :(

David Coverdale - exDeep Purple
Cozy Powell - exDeep Purple
Jon Lord - exDeep Purple
Mel Galley - exTrapeze
John Sykes - exThin Lizzy
Neil Murray - (I haven't a clue at the moment)
But I agree that Deep Purple isn't typified by Coverdale the way it is 
by
Ian Gillian.              After all, Gillian was Jesus.<G>


Jimmy Page was the guitar player for Zep, unless you meant something 
else
Reggie, about the music.
Did Reggie even mention Page?
I don't understand your point here.

I do hate the tag Zep wannabees. There was a band in the eighties 
that was
practically a rip-off of Led Zeppelin and damn if I can think of their
name
now.
Great White?
Kingdom Come?
