Subject: Another Version of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Ag
Two times within the past few months, I have heard a different version of Here I Go Again than what I am used to. The most notable difference between this rendention and the normal version is that the intro is much slower. Thus, the beginning of this alternate version a much "blusier" feel than the original.
Has anyone heard this alternative version of Here I Go Again? Do you know what it is called?
Thanks

"Here I Go Again" was recorded by Whitesnake more than once. The original version from their early album "Saints And Sinners" is slower and bluesier than the one on the "1987" album. The lyrics are slightly different too, to wit: the line "Like a drifter I was born to walk alone" in the original version went "Like a HOBO I was born to walk alone." I'm not sure if the word 'hobo' is familiar in the American vernacular, which is probably why it was changed, or maybe Dave just thought that 'drifter' sounded better. Whitesnake was more of a blues band went they first started, but Coverdale gradually changed the sound to appeal to the mid-80s metal market. Their earlier stuff like "Slide It In" and "Saints and Sinners" are much better, personally.

I believe that's the radio mix - it's available on Whitesnake's Greatest Hits album.
