. Marsden played on the first EP, first five albums and a live album: ''Snakebite'' (1978), ''Trouble'' (1978), ''Lovehunter'' (1979), ''Ready & Willing'' (1980), ''Live In The Heart Of The City'' (1980), ''Come An' Get It'' (1981) and ''Saints & Sinners'' (1982), contributing many of the songs with David Coverdale and sometimes Moody. Marsden and Coverdale went on to create Whitesnake's anthem "Here I Go Again" in 1982, a song that sold many millions all over the world. Both writers have received many awards for the song. As of 2018, the song has been counted at six million US radio plays.


Post-Whitesnake bands

Following his departure from Whitesnake, Marsden formed a short-lived band called Bernie Marsden's SOS. Not long after, Bernie Marsden formed the band

In 1986, he put together MGM with former Whitesnake members Neil Murray and his replacement guitarist in Whitesnake Mel Galley. The band, briefly, also included former Toto vocalist, Bobby Kimball. Recordings were made but still remain unreleased. In 1989, Marsden reunited with Whitesnake guitarist Moody to form The Moody Marsden band, recording an acoustic live album in Norway called ''Live In Hell'' and an electric live album recorded in England ''Never Turn Our Back On The Blues'', that featured

to form a new band called "The Snakes" compromised on only play songs from their time in Whitesnake, releasing a studio abum (Once Bitten) and a live record (Live in Europe) both in the same year of 1998. Following the departure of Lande, bassist Sid Ringsby and drummer Willy Bendiksen, the band shifted its name to The Company Of Snakes, welcoming keyboardist Don Airey, bassist Neil Murray, drummer John Lingwood and former Bad Company vocalist Robert Hart. As it turned out, the name was a little misleading as Robert Hart did not actually make the record with them. In 2002 the band released a double album of

M3 produced a triple-CD DVD called ''Rough 'n' Ready'' which again features the songs from their Whitesnake's legacy, now with former Rainbow Doogie White as special guest sharing the vocal duties, and another live album "Classsic Snake Live Vol I" in 2006 with former Black Sabbath Tony Martin replacing Berggren and White. The band ended in the same year with Marden, Moody and Murray following in their separate ways.


Solo career

Marsden released two solo albums during his time in Whitesnake. First released in Japan on the Japanese label Trash/Trio in 1979, ''And About Time Too'', became the number one import into the UK. EMI Records soon picked up the rights to the album and released it in Europe shortly before the release of Marsden's second solo album, ''Look At Me Now'', in 1981. Both of these LPs were on the Parlophone label; at the time only Marsden and The Beatles were on the label. His BBC ''Friday Rock Show'' solo sessions were released on CD; these featured David Coverdale and Toto drummer Simon Phillips. No more solo albums appeared until the release of his ''Green and Blues'' in 1994. This album is his tribute to guitarists in the

Again on Conquest Music, as part of Bernie's Inspirations Series, Trios is Bernie’s homage to the great power trios that inspired and helped to shape his musical style and taste. The guitarists given the nod of approval in this set reads like a who’s who of fretboard royalty… Beck, Green, Walsh, Hendrix, Clapton, Trower, Gallagher and more. With an added twist, the name of Marsden is added to this list as Bernie revisits a track he played on with the great Cozy Powell back in 1974, the foot stomping hit, Na, Na, Na.
