      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 :)

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!

    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 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.

    A savage on the guitar but has incredible vocals as well. It's pretty obvious why Coverdale felt threatened. A highly underrated human being.

    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!

    @elephantcup 2 года назад +3

    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.

    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 :))
