@@patricksheppard585amazing!! This song has to be the most difficult as far as the phrasing of the vocals and the cadence of the guitar parts being completely different! He does it like it's nothing to it! Technically unbelievable! John Sykes is one incredible musician, and just as incredible with his ability to sing with such range!
John Sykes has always been an underrated guitar player...dont know why!!! But shit look at him!!! What a badass!!! Does anyone out there in the world agree!?!?!
he is good.....to sing, and jam like he does.....shit......I can do one, or the other, but not both at the same time.....and he treats it as childs' play.....but he's too good.....and that's okay......
Holy fudge. I clicked on this expected to be disappointed by vocals provided by a non-Coverdale. Flawless performance of death-defying guitar parts while delivering top notch vox. 'Sykes is God'. I'm off to re-think my life.
A brilliant, melodic rocker and heavy as f#@k!! He wrote this all and then went onto Blue Murder! They still give me chills. John Sykes, one of the most under rated guitar players of his generation and a great singer too. xx
Truly, he was the real genius behind the hit 87' Whitesnake album. It's John's songwriting that made them famous!! 😙 Much love and respect to the John Sykes fan for the heart like!!
@@stuartanthony6409 Sure but they didn't sound like we know them today. They still perform the same way today that Sykes developed. When Doug Aldrich was in the band, he was very much in the same high-octaine vein as Sykes.
ChrisWhite85 Sure Chris. I get that. And in many ways I liked the 80s stuff being there and all. Sykes is one of my fav guitar players. However, whitesnake has had several big eras and the first was in the 70s with Marsden who is a great blues player. Shame Coverdale is such an apparent ass. Recognition for the Sykes era never really said that the biggest hits off the 1987 album were actually written by Sykes before he met Coverdale. And they were cracking tracks and he is a cracking guitar player. I wish I had his royalties :)
+Ralphie Leonard Me and a buddy saw blue murder play at l'amour's Brooklyn in '93 with free Q-104.3 tickets/backstage tickets. Watched rehearsal all the time wondering if they had a lead guitar. Shit no, John played lead and rhythm like it was f'n nothing. Our minds were f'n blown.
Nick CHAVEZ II - I saw John at Toad’s Place in New Haven, CT on the same tour (probably within a few days). I was wearing a Thin Lizzy t-shirt I made and he played the solo to Thunder & Lightning about three inches from my face!! I met John afterwards and he told me how he first met Phil Lynott (through producer Chris Tsangerides) and signed my T&L album cover. It was one of the best nights of my life! He was so cool and gracious! L’amours was an amazing venue!! Night after night there were incredible metal acts playing there for years! Man, I miss those days!! Peace, brother!
He sings this song as well as Coverdale whilst unleashing fast, flashy heavy metal riffs and shreds. Respect \M/. We can only imagine what Whitesnake would have done had he been allowed to stay.
I think Coverdale is amazing but his Ego was too big for both of them to be in the band at the same time. Definitely would have been a good second record that never happened with Sykes. Sad. But still good to always be able to listen to him.
+pablo2by4GotBanned Maybe Sykes shouldn´t gone behind David´s back to the record company suggesting he could just as well sing the 1987, when David was unable to, due to throat problems:) Just saying, not critizising John´s musical abilities:)
nimim. Marko Mikkilä this is because Coverdale was full of shite and lost confidence and he didn’t want to wait about for David he was in it 50/50 on some of the best rock songs of the 1980s and he wanted them out and he knew the songs would go over brilliantly and he was pissed off waiting about for DAVID and he knew he could sing them just the same
So true that..........to me coverdale realized John's talent but didnt want him getting all the glory. Ironically the very man that was the genius behind whitesnakes biggest album became coverdales enemy. Madness.
@@adamwake1915 Whitesnake didn't do crap after that album, they had slip of the tongue but that didn't come anywhere near the success of the self titled album and WHO came up with the lyrics and riffs with Coverdale????? ;-)
He is really a amazing musician. He sings the vocals, plays the guitar parts, and leads--and he is fucking FLAWLESS.Not to many people can multitask like that,much less to his level of expertise-a very talented individual indeed
One of the most proficient and badass 'Les Paul Wranglers' _ever!_ Got to see him live in Charlotte, N.C. at a joint called "Rocky's" doing the Blue Murder albums, and he brought it like nobody's business. Singing all that material while tearing up his LP between stereo Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers, unbelievable. One of the best rock shows I've ever seen. Got to meet him afterwards, very confident guy, but cool, humble and friendly to his fans as well. Thanks John!
Saw him at Toads Place in New Haven during 1st Blue Murder album tour…. I will never forget it. He f’ing slayed it singing and ripping it up throughout. Blown away 🤘🏻Just amazing…
I know that we all looked this up for John Sykes amazing playing, the rock and sound of white snake, but look who they choose for a drummer. The one and only hammer assaulting, machine driving Tommy Aldridge. His rock drumming can be heard on some of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time!!!
John Sykes is clearly a one of the most underrated guitarist and vocalist in rock history. His past performances with Thin Lizzy,Whitesnake & Blue Murder speak volumes to his skill and artistic ability. two thumbs up from me!
@SabuPtolemy Met Doug several times here in LA, we have mutual friends, he is the nicest guy in person, no ego, always cool to talk to about guitars & other gear.
This is Rock and Roll kids, it's what us old dude's listen too. Two of the Best Corner Stones of Rock, John Sykes and Tommy Aldridge. Just look up their history, They are Rock Music. Enough said.
Absolute truth. This is not an easy song to play, particularly with the solo. Such talent to sing and play with each role done to perfection in a live setting no less.
John Sykes is one of the best rounded rock musicians out there re: guitar playing, singing, and song writing. Has the rockstar look to boot. Much respect.
Just Saying, Marco Mendoza Blasting Bass!! Tommy Aldridge Double Bass Blasting Drum Kit !! John Sykes Just killing It On Guitar !! Great Line Up Wishing I Could Have Been There !!!
This guy is amazing. John Sykes is one of the brightest players in the business. Massive and absolutely unique sound. It’s impossible to dublicate him. He has a strong identity that makes him absolutely unique guitar player. He is definitely one of my favorites. John rocks!!!
Every time I get a chance to enjoy anything that John Sykes plays, I am amazement at his playing and technical appittude and the man doesn't always get the credit for being such an amazing songwriter. But that's just my opinion and I mean no disrespect to anyone else.
...this man is something out of this world ... one of the greatest musicians of all time...thank you John...I hope to see you soon live on stage somewhere...
2 years prior in 2002, my band Mercenary got a chance to open for him at The Pound SF, and also got to meet the vibrato king himself! He was the coolest dude as well!
I remember the fist time I heard John Sykes - it was with Tigers of Pan Tang and it was the second lead on the song "Take it". Absolutely blew my mind - I still play that song over and over in my car to this day! New song "Dawning of a brand new day" recently released - keep it coming John.
John is, simply put, a true GOAT! Everything after him, just doesn’t get to that level. And one of the very best ways to right wrongs in the world is to have Tommy Aldridge play drums!
John Sykes is one of of my favorite guitarist right up there with EVH, SRV, and Jimmy Page! An inspiration for my own playing these 44 years, though I can’t come near his skill level or speed! AND HE CAN SING WHILE PLAYING ALL THAT!!! MINDBLOWING!
SMOKIN HOT PLayer always loved his playing.....totally underrated.....1987 was the first album i bought with my own money aged 7 or 8 from my paper round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it amazing that even after he walks away from the microphone, you can still hear him singing 1:40 ? And that the video was obviously shot with cell phones or consumer cameras, but the sound is pretty good? It's almost as if it's an overdub and not real. Almost. I hate fake shit. You should too.
Yes you are 100% correct, live isn’t really live completely! Know the difference if you can!! John is still one great guitarist! Also his sound is what every guitarist wants still today!
Mendoza is such an underrated bassist but he is a god, and he sings, I mean he SINGS, he sings backvocals, 2nd voice, harmonizing and rocking. it's like half & half WhiteSnake right here (the better half, of course :))
The real sound of 87 Whitesnake is in his hand..
Salute John Sykes..
Slide It In also!
i love how Coverdale tried to replace this amazing guitarist if friggin Vandenburg...
The real sound of white snake
John is my Hero. Salute you John. The favourite guitarist of my Son and me. Respect
He hired Vandenberg for his looks. Adrian is not nearly as an aggressive player that John is.
He's singing that while playing technical guitar riffs at the same time. This mans talent is astonishing.
Nothing short of Astonishing
I always noticed that, it is very diffucult to play those riffs and sing along. He is the best guitarist I have ever seen.
@@patricksheppard585amazing!! This song has to be the most difficult as far as the phrasing of the vocals and the cadence of the guitar parts being completely different! He does it like it's nothing to it! Technically unbelievable! John Sykes is one incredible musician, and just as incredible with his ability to sing with such range!
Right!!!!!
And his solos are still as on fire as the record. Just intimidating as a musician. One of my favorites of all time!
Tommy Aldridge will be in bands when my great grandson has his children.

White Snake couldn't have got such a fame without Sykes.
Who disagrees ???
John is THE greatest guitar player that has ever graced the stage. Can’t get enough of this guy.
Absolutely agree ❤
@@delmasskipper along with Chriss Oliva Savatage.
Hand Coverdale a guitar and listen what happens. Nothing. Thank you Johnsnake. End of story. King.
John Sykes was THE SOUND of Whitesnake. Great to see and hear this live version of one of my faves.
Sykes is a freaking god, criminally underrated guitar player and musician. Mendoza and Aldridge are so good that Coverdale hired both of them.
And what's the opposite of underrated.?.... Oh dear..
Sykes & Aldridge, rock royalty in my book!
He sings this song as well as Coverdale whilst unleashing fast, flashy heavy metal riffs and shreds. Respect \M/. We can only imagine what Whitesnake would have done had he been allowed to stay.
I think Coverdale is amazing but his Ego was too big for both of them to be in the band at the same time. Definitely would have been a good second record that never happened with Sykes. Sad. But still good to always be able to listen to him.
@@user-ly8pm2pc7z Yep…heard about it. You don’t try to kick your boss out of his own band.
He sings it so much better as well coverdales voice sucks
David Coverdale should have never gotten rid of this guy.

INCORRECT. Do you think he was fucking MAD? That suggestion was from the producer of the 1987 album - Mike Stone.

The guys is phenomenal

John Sykes is a legend, a true rock star!! 🙏🎶🎸
If you got Aldridge behind you, things are good.
+HamerSlammerSeries he IS the undead... still looks and plays the same, 3 decades of banging and no slowing down. right on! :)
5 decades. 70s onwards
I never realized he played with Black Oak Arkansas
It’s really cool to see tommy behind John here! Aldridge could play behind anyone any day..
Was wondering if that was him
I get goosebumps watching that solo every time. Absolute legend.
Sykes, always one of my favorites! You know it’s Sykes anytime he plays. AMAZING.
Playing those licks and singing at the same time,,,he truly is a talented guy,,,,,been a fan for years,,,,,
This is one of my top 4 Whitesnake songs. John Sykes rocked!
He’s amazing. That bass player was ripping it up!
Sykes the BEST
What a group! Anyone is a rock legend!
His talent was so strong that everyone that witness it was better just from seeing it done correctly
The way he can sing that pre chorus while playing that awesome riff is just amazing.
Tommy Aldridge is one of the most tasteful double bass player's there is
I love his style he dose it with taste.
he is the connection between DC and Sykes, in this period he played with both of them :)

1987 Whitesnake is John Sykes. Phenomenal guitar playing and sound.
What a great performer John Sykes is
Every time I get a chance to enjoy anything that John Sykes plays, I am amazement at his playing and technical appittude and the man doesn't always get the credit for being such an amazing songwriter. But that's just my opinion and I mean no disrespect to anyone else.
I reckon Coverdale just loved watching Tommy Aldridge and Marco Mendoza playing that with Sykes lol!
I love the liquid fluidity of Johns metal sound on that les Paul! It fits his style so well!
Enorme guitarrista y compositor. Gracias Mr
. Sykes
This is the best way to play this song!!!!! Sounds amazing. That guitar tone is unique.
...this man is something out of this world ... one of the greatest musicians of all time...thank you John...I hope to see you soon live on stage somewhere...
Good luck with that...
one of the planets greatest guitarists. no whammy bar necessary, and awesome speed. no telling how far whitesnake could have went.
this guy is an awesome guitarist, hands down!
2 years prior in 2002, my band Mercenary got a chance to open for him at The Pound SF, and also got to meet the vibrato king himself! He was the coolest dude as well!
So basically... Whitesnake without David Coverdale! And sounding AWESOME !!!
👍👍👍
Tommy Octopus,..what a legend drummer, no one whack with dicipline like Tommy!
John Sykes is AMAZING!!!
What an AMAZING performance. The band is incredibly tight and you can feel the energy.
John is so UNDERATED

Sykes is my favorite Les Paul player alive!! Second to None!!
You can't teach the stuff John does on a guitar...the tone, vib, melody lines, riffs ... it's all right up there! Guy can sing a bit too! Love it!
A savage on the guitar but has incredible vocals as well. It's pretty obvious why Coverdale felt threatened. A highly underrated human being.
Yes, Sykes is an amazing guitarist, musician, and performer. This lineup is as good as gets.
John Sykes & Derek Sherinian . Wouldn' t have expected it .

I love Sykes...Epic blues/rock/metaller, stonking song writer, awesome singer, great hair.
john wake up man its time to rock again pleasssss i need 2 hear your guitarplaying again
The original John Sykes....the creator of such masterpieces that went on to shape the 80s hard rock genre
man those backing vocals are on point. A pleasure to hear. I think Coverdale got sick of having musicians singing better than him in his bands rofl
The sound is really good on this. I can hear everything. Marco Mendoza is killing it on bass. Those notes are popping off.
Most complete Hard Rock Guitarist on Earth!
Welcome back John!!! The ultimate Les Paul player!!! There is no one but you!!!
Come on, John, get the new album out! Can't wait to hear it.
