About This Track
“Still of the Night” (also known as “In The Still of the Night”) is a single released by Whitesnake, from their hugely successful self titled 1987 album. It reached #16 in the U.K. and #18 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks when it was released on March 9, 1987. In 2009 it was named the 27th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
The song was written by lead singer David Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes, and proved to be one of the band’s most popular songs. It combines the blues origins of the band with the more distorted, harder sound driving the song, making for a powerful hard rock song. The current Whitesnake lineup and John Sykes both play the song as their live encore.
The song has been cited as sounding similar to Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog”, a possible source of inspiration for Coverdale and Sykes.
A music video, featuring Coverdale’s then future wife Tawny Kitaen, was shot for the song, and it was MTV’s most requested video in its first week of release.
A cover version of the song is featured in the video game Rock Revolution.

Off this album my favorite track is Straight thru the heart. That does not take anything from this song. Whitesnake is a classic that one way or another will always be around.

Like the cool Led Zep style vocals in this song. In some spots, I swear you can hear Robert Plant singing.

Self titled album was pretty much played nonstop back when it was first released in '87 and at the time hard rock pretty much ruled the airwaves....
