Join VRP and Vandenberg as they discuss the moments leading up to his joining Whitesnake, the impact of the 1987 album on the band's success, and the challenges he faced along the way.

Despite being approached multiple times, it wasn't until the end of 1986 that the timing finally felt right for Vandenberg to join the band. He talks about the excitement and disbelief he felt as he embarked on a journey that would last 13 years.
Vandenberg also touches upon the disappointment of not being able to play on the 1989 follow-up album, "Slip of the Tongue," due to a wrist injury. He shares the story behind the injury, which turned out to be a result of a car crash many years prior.
