【NEWS】WHITESNAKE から DOUG ALCRICH が脱退!

 David Coverdale によれば、Doug Aldrich が、Whitesnake から脱退したらしい。
 理由は、ソロ活動専念のためかな?

It is with a heavy heart we bid adieu to super guitarist Doug Aldrich who is leaving WS to pursue a solo career. Fare Thee Well, My Brother!

Well I guess news that I have left Whitesnake was leaked...
I planned and hoped DC and I could release a joint statement. We will as soon as possible but everything happened so fast that we aren't ready.
Firstly,
Thanks to my big bro David for such a killer run together!! So many songs, tours, projects, always inspiring and pushing each other!
Mostly I was to thank the loyal WS Choir and fans around the world.
You have been so amazing to me and it's been an honor to play for you with WS.
I love you guys and I'll see you all again. Thank you so very much for your unending support.
Also, not sure how or where the info started about a Solo Career but this is not true or correct information.
I have no plans at this time to go solo:) I'm just not in the Whitesnake/David Coverdale band anymore.
I'll let you guys know what I'm doing ASAP but for now please know I very much appreciate your support and will hopefully do a statement with My Brutal Brother DC shortly.
Big love for the Aldrich clan.

 うーん。David Coverdale が言う「ソロ活動専念」って割には、Doug は「今後の予定はなにも決まってない」って言ってるので、違和感覚えるよね。
 もう、後任は決まってるらしく、どうしても、Doug がクビになったような印象が拭えない。少なくとも、11年ギターを務めたバンドを円満に辞めたようには見えないな・・・。

 後任は、まだ発表されていないけど、John SykesVandenberg くらいしか思いつかない。
 Vandenberg は、今、自分のバンドで忙しいし、となると Sykes なんかな?
