'Good to Be Bad' is the tenth studio album by Whitesnake, originally released in April 2008. It was the band's first album of new studio material in a decade, since 1997’s 'Restless Heart', not including the four new tracks recorded for the 2006 live album 'Live: In the Shadow of the Blues'.
For 'Good To Be Bad' the band consisted of the mainstays, guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach plus keyboard player Timothy Drury remain the same, but rhythm section changed, with the additions of newcomers Uriah Duffy on bass and Chris Frazier on drums.
4CD + Blu Ray Box Set
The box set is therefore the only place to find all the rarities. This content includes new alternate mixes which also feature new background vocals from the ‘Hook City Harlots’, Cami Thompson, Misty Rae & Jackie Landrum, plus the ‘Hook City Horns’ with Rick Metz on saxes and the trumpet of Joshua Reed.
There’s a version of ‘All For Love’ that features a different guitar solo by Doug Aldrich and the collection also includes ‘Evolutions’, a disc of unreleased recordings that presents a guide through the genesis of each song, from initial ideas with rough vocal melodies, lyrics and riffs through to finished demos and full band production versions.
