Adrian Vandenberg Biography

Adrian Vandenberg is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on January 31, 1954 in Enschede, Netherlands. Guitarist for the rock band Whitesnake and for Vandenberg, which he founded in 1981. He also co-founded MoonKings at the end of 2013.

Because Vandenberg injured his wrist, Steve Vai temporarily played in Whitesnake for him.

Born in The Hague in the Netherlands, Adrian van den Berg was originally the lead guitarist for the Dutch band Teaser, a band that released a self-titled album in 1978. This band should not be confused with the American band Teaser, which featured American guitarist Jake E. Lee. He then started his own band, simply named Vandenberg, who released three albums in the 1980s, Vandenberg, Heading for a Storm and Alibi. They are arguably best known for the ballad “Burning Heart,” a song that features complementing guitar layers and harmonies, and “Friday Night”, from the Heading for a Storm album. They toured extensively, including a support slot to the Michael Schenker Group in the UK in late 1982, and Kiss in 1983.

Adrian van den Berg was originally approached to join Whitesnake in the early 1980s, having impressed David Coverdale with not only his guitar skills, but also with his songwriting talent and his ability as a band leader. He initially declined, due to the success of his own band Vandenberg and their Top 40 hit, “Burning Heart.” By 1986, however, with pressure from the record company to become more and more commercial and their success hitting a plateau, he relented and finally disbanded Vandenberg, agreeing to join Coverdale in Whitesnake. Initially he was hired as a session musician, helping to complete their eponymous album Whitesnake (known as 1987 in Europe) after a mass-firing of the original band members by Coverdale. He contributed the solo to their No. 1 hit “Here I Go Again,” but guitarist John Sykes played all of the other lead and rhythm guitar on the album.

He grew up in The Hague, Netherlands.
