I didn't know that bit of history from Whitesnake. But I still like the second version more.
About that video, I agree that the music is simple, shallow, catchy and that it relies on a (very) attractive girl to catch our attention. But keep in mind that I see that one with different eyes. I grew up listening to that music, and even though I should despise it because it is pop metal, I love this one.
I added Poison's Greatest Hits to my iTunes library. I haven't listened to it for a long time. I'll see how much of it I can endure listening to.
And yes, I also LOVED this stuff...
Oh, how things change.

Still, since I grew up listening to this crap, I still like it.
But, I agree with you.
As for now:
Royal Hunt - The Mission
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - 25 Years of Absolute Pleasure
didn't make through the whole of the video, despite the "eye candy". Kind of emphasises my previous point about crap US-oriented rock of the 1980's (see Europe, Poison, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Stryper.... should I go on??)
