Explosion Of Hair Metal Fraud Rocks Britain

Some dude that used to be in Whitesnake (who wasn’t David Coverdale) has issued an all points bulletin that someone else has been pretending to be some dude that used to be in Whitesnake (who wasn’t David Coverdale). Mel Galley alerted Blabbermout that this not-really-Mel-Galley knave “introduces himself to bands in pubs and elsewhere as Mel, offers advice, hands out plectrums, wears a snake ring and tells about how he is set to go and work with Tony Iommi (BLACK SABBATH) in studios in Birmingham or play with ZZ TOP in the USA etc.” All of which leads me to wonder why in God’s name anyone would pretend to be some dude that used to be in Whitesnake (who wasn’t David Coverdale). I’m wondering if my confusion might have something to do with the fact that my head feels like industrial-sized cockroaches in cement boots are doing the running man behind my eyes while “Here I Go Again” blares on a loop. I blame MTV.
