This 5th and final leg of the Whitesnake 2008 world tour has been amazing so far.
We saw Jerusalem, hung on the beach in Cyprus for 4 days, then moved to the colder temperatures of Switzerland and Deutchland.
Once we hit Germany, we started touring with Alice Cooper, which in practice might not have been the best billing. I love those guys, but we really didn't seem to have many crossover fans, unlike on the Def Lep tour. I did however get to see Steve Gadd play with Joe Sample, then drive a nice Mercedes with Chris from Hamburg to Hannover on the Autobahn.
In Hannover I had the great pleasure of meeting with Kerstin B., who is interviewing me for the newest German bass mag, Bass Quarterly. I will be in the January issue, along side her other article with Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Victor Wooten! That's wicked!
Another month left out here... Freezing cold! We are in Poland, and will hit Russia, Finland, Sweden & more before returning home. It's been a long year. My back hurts. I also keep ripping the ballz-area of all my leather pants- I'm down to 1 pair (that had already been fixed TWICE!). But all in all this year has been unforgettable, mostly in good ways.

Hi! Finally something real info from the tour! I can fix your pants anytime LOL. The cold weather does that you feel achy, keep warm, drink warm and remember the colder the weather the hotter the women. (That doesn't include me, I'm old and ugly LOL.) About Alice, it didn't sell well here in Oulu either, but the day was Monday, so people weren't that interested, which was a shame. Stay safe at the big East, be careful with the vodka. Doesn't I sound like someone's mom??? Well, looking forward of seeing you soon in Hellllsinki!!!
Luv Minna "gimme"
Really Cool!
The weather in California is about 46 degrees at it's lowest...Stay warm & be safe.
See you soon,
Elisabeth :)
I wanted to say a huge thank you for doing this blog. This is the first blog I've ever read and I think it's great. I might even start my own in the new year! Enjoy the rest of the tour and have a great holiday!
Big hugs from the UK,

Awesome review dear :)

Love from Spain,
Yadira.
I think it's just annoying you the fact i keep repeating "France France France !!!!!!" But youve got fans here aswell ... and some can't move to another country to see you (money and time !!!)
Thanks for sharing this with us, when it's all you can have then it's gold :)
Get smaller balls
Saw you here in Estonia on Sunday. that was amazing. thank you soooo much!!!
Your concert in Tallinn on the 14th was the best (also a christmas present for me), so thank you!!
I managed to get my mom to come with me and although she wasn't very enthusiastic about it at first. But she fell in love with the band because of the über-sexy bass player. She still keeps telling about how bad she felt during the concert because she, being 37-years-old, kept staring at the young 22 year-old bassist. only later I managed to explain her that the bassist only looked really young. (and ofcourse, at fist she didn't believe me at all!)
Nevertheless, I hope to see you again in Estonia.
Concert in Estonia. The best. You guys were hotter and warmer then i could ever imagine! I Love how you guys communicated with fans!
You-Uriah were trying to make me smile you crazy man- and well.. you did! FINALLY! Lucky you!
