What was the band Whitesnake named after?

Answer 1

It was named after David Coverdale's very own "white snake" (his penis)

Answer 2

Red, white and black, the band's signature colors, are, according to Jack, "the most powerful color combination of all time, from a Coca-Cola can to a Nazi banner." These colors permeate the duo's distinctive wardrobe and album artwork. In some interviews, the group has said that the colors red and white refer to peppermint candy, a symbol of childhood innocence. Jack has also mentioned that the colors are used in baby toys because they are easily visible to infants, who are slightly colorblind at birth. Interestingly, before forming the band, Jack had also created a three-color scheme for an upholstery business he started in his early twenties. All of his tools, his van, and his uniform used the colors white, black, and yellow.

The white stripes have no elaborate story on how they got their name. being brother and sister with the last name white, they wanted a simple name. one day, they saw a package of peppermint candies and using that as her inspiration, meg came up with the band name.

Answer 3

David Coverdale named his band after his penis. He confirmed this as a fact in 2006.
