@@javtimestwo John Sykes did ruin a good thing, but David Coverdale was not the only one laughing all the way to the bank. John Sykes also got paid extremely well for his songwriting and guitar playing on Whitesnake's 1987 studio album. It is just a shame that it happened this way. I do love the Slip Of The Tongue album, but it was nowhere close to how amazing the 1987 album was. In my opinion John Sykes band Blue Murder's first self titled debut album is more of a Whitesnake album than Slip Of The Tongue is.
Nope. While very good it marked the very start of the screeching era of Coverdale. A keyboardist's name isnt even listed. Sykes did the same thing in Thin Lizzy. Kinda ruined the classic sound with a heavy metal trip. The first Blue Murder lp however is pure brilliance. Coverdale,Moody,Marsden, Lord and Dowle ( then Paice ). Best lineup.
I prefer with Marsden/Moody and Lord/Paice. More bluesy. Live in Hmmaersmith its a masterpiece. The most famous song of 1987 album was composed for Bernie Marsden
This was 1984, they needed a "heavier" lineup, Sykes, Powell, Galley (not here of course) Best lineup for this band, and of course Lord was on the record.
@@careful__Icarusthere's a reason why the 1987 album is considered their best album and went multi platinum versus the earlier, bluesy Whitesnake. Nothing against that era, but this lineup had way more energy, musicianship, and melodic sensibilities than the earlier Whitesnake.
@@javier8218 That's only because of David Geffen and John Kalodner's backroom wrangling and backstabbing. John got screwed on promotion of the Blue Murder album. Otherwise history would have been different. Slip of the Tongue was a piece of shit and only became successful riding the coattails of Skyes' 1987 album.

I was at the venue that day. I saw Cozy Powell and David Coverdale up close. And then I shook hands with Cozy Powell. he has run And we shook hands as we passed each other. A gentle smile like a soccer player was impressive. David Coverdale was the contrast. He was with a very nice woman. His blond hair was so beautiful. And he was so small and delicate. I was overwhelmed by its presence. I couldn't speak to him. I was in high school at that time. It's my lovely memory. :)
My friend organized first ever live in my native Saint Peterburg, Russia. After show we celebrate in yacht ,Baltic Sea. My wife and i met David and boys and give him a gift French champagne huge bottle. David simply Best guy!
Ouch. I think Bernie Marsden will have something to say about that. Most of their best songs were written by him, so that would make him the greatest. Without Marsden's songwriting, Whitesnake might have disbanded much sooner.
@@mrpositronia let’s hear Marsden play the solo in Cryin’ in the Rain. Marsden wrote some cool tunes, but he’s nowhere near the level of Sykes. Not even close.
check out Rainbow's Stargazer plus: Powell was ejected through the windscreen and died at the scene.[11] According to the BBC report, at the time of the crash Powell's blood-alcohol reading was over the legal limit, and he was not wearing a seat belt, in addition to talking with his (married) girlfriend on his mobile phone. he wasn't messing around!
If a time machine existed, this is definitely one show I would have gone back to see. I love every era of Whitesnake, the John Sykes era in my opinion was just PHENOMENAL!!! He helped David Coverdale turn Whitesnake into one of the biggest bands ever back in the mid to late 80's. John Sykes guitar playing is just amazing, and I have always loved his guitar tone. It is just brilliant. He deserves way more recognition than he gets.
I had a huge crush on David Coverdale until I laid eyes on John Sykes! I totally loved Johns epic guitar playing and oh my lord John Sykes was the most gorgeous man in rock music history! 🌟
@@michaelseay9783 Sadly, I did not get to see Whitesnake or John Sykes in concert! I had a huge poster of Whitesnake framed in my bedroom & they were my rock icons at that time! The 80s can never be recreated because musicians such as Whitesnake set the Rock coolness bar way too high, for the newbies, to ever attain the same static excitement that we mere mortals got to experience in the 80s!
@@michaelseay9783 Have you seen Whitesnake in concert? After getting your reply to my original post about David & John, I had to go back & revisit Here I Go Again! Lol...I still dig that song! ✌️
You can't beat Neil Murray's bass sound in terms of cleanliness, headroom and just plain balls! Sounds gigantic. Rudy Sarzo might bring a lot licks, technique, stage antics and sexiness to the Whitesnake machine which is great but he lacks the loudness and heaviness of Neil Murray for sure. I miss this lineup, definitely the best whitesnake lineup for sure. They just sound so fresh on stage.
@@caljerm I totally agree!! I saw this line up in October of 1984 opening for Quiet Riot!! I already had and loved the Slide It In album. They totally blew QR off the stage!! I was very disappointed when Sarzo replaced Neil Murray. By that time, I had purchased the entire Whitesnake catalog and I realized how awesome Neil played!! I never bought another Whitesnake album after that. I saw them twice in 1987, but my friends and i all thought that the new line up just didn't have the same power! RS had flashy moves but that's about it!!
@@caljerm Bullshit, Sarzo was and is one of the most sought after bass players ever to walk and has a rap sheet miles long of reputable and respectful collaborations and has worked with many great bands. On top of that, he learned a lot from the late, great Randy Rhoads, which if I’m not mistaken, Sykes is also a fan of. Neil Murray is a fantastic bass player, especially paired with Cozy Powell, yes the both of them bring a big sound to the band and compliment Sykes guitar tone nicely and he is better in Whitesnake I’ll give you that, but overall it’s bullshit to say he can play circles around Sarzo. Also keep in mind the number of times Sarzo has filled in and had to learn songs quickly for tours, more than you’d think. Plus just like Murray and Powell, you put Sarzo and Aldridge together and it’s the same magic. What they did for Ozzy and Rhoads, Murray and Powell did for Coverdale and Sykes. No comparison.
@@TheHumbuckerboy Most likely, John felt more comfortable playing with Phil Lynott than he did with David Coverdale. David could have seen John as a rival, due to Johns rockstar charisma, his awesome guitarist skills, song writing ability and to top it off, John can sing as well as David! Phil on the other hand, truly admired John Sykes and all of his talent. Phil was a great guy! He has been truly missed.
@@REDWASP777 Phil and John got along really well together and I remember how obvious it was that John sounded heartbroken when talking about Phil on a radio tribute show at the time when Phil had just died. The Thunder and Lightning album is testament to how well they worked together.
I’m a big Sykes fan, but we can’t overlook the other guys. With legendary bands, four things have to come together simultaneously: talent, luck, timing, and chemistry. This is a fierce band.
@@javtimestwo It was a festival across about 8 days or something which featured other acts like The Michael Schenker Group, Bon Jovi and the Scorpions among others and I’m not sure about the set time they potentially played one more song I’d say.
I was, too! It was awesome! Did you catch it when the Schenker brothers played together for the first time in 13 yrs? I think that was a different day than White Snake. Scorps played that day. Epic!
Lucky enough to have seen both Cozy live with Schenker & the Great John Sykes with Lizzy a few times in my youth, both Masters of their respective instruments!!!!!!
No whammy bar, heavy dependence on distracting effects like wah wah or flanging...just One guitarist with a preamped compressed LesPaul and incredible nuances, voicing,and phrasing JohnSykes is a guitar god.
Incredible how Sykes changed Whitesnake's sound and his style became the identity of everything the band made after him. His soulful melodies and shred skill are up there with any most famous legendary player.

Everyone who thinks john is the best should check out his solo stuff and blue murder, theres some serious guitar playing and singing by him you cant even imagine
One thing great about youtube...It’s brought out John Sykes popularity with true fans of music., Just read all the comments just in this video alone...
Lil history… Def Leppard was to play Rock in Rio but Rick Allen’s horrible accident kept them out and Whitesnake came in… we didnt know jack about this band…John Sykes along with Iron Maiden made Rock in Rio amazing! This line up is their best by far!
Interesting seeing Cozy Powell play "God, the Bringer of War" live in 1984. Two years later he was briefly a member of ELP and a prog rock rendition of that classical piece was the closing track of the LP he recorded with Keith Emerson and Greg Lake.
ahh, rip cozy powell. going from this to ELP afterwards, and his long history before shows what an awesome gun for hire he was, and he "brought" it to every note he played, regardless of style.
John done all work with guitar no second one ! Missing full ''' picture '' ! Craying in the rain solo was toooo much , like shiting off with skills , but he showed , he is one of the best Rock guitarist
Sykes created the hard rock era of Whitesnake ..only John made WS huge.... parer when he and all the other guys of this line up were fired, WS (and Coverdale for first) lost their soul and identity...became a posers cover band...what a waste ,what a shame...
Exactly. I saw a show from 1988 on the Whitesnake tour for the "1987" album. Vandenberg and Campbell (two GREAT guitarists in their older bands) absolutely sucked playing Sykes' songs and the other Whitesnake material. Just awful. No heart, no soul...no feel for the music at all
Состав был великолепен,работали лучшие в тот период.Но одно дело живое выступление во время гастролей.И совсем другое видение перспектив на будущее. Каждый из этого состава мыслящий и творчески одаренный мастер. Ездить по разным странам и выступать с накатанными мелодиями ребята не смогли . Далее Дэвид ,понимая это,делал перерывы и менял составы. Каждый из этого прекрасного состава шел своей творческой дорогой. Нам очень повезло,мы их видели,ценили. Они навсегда остаются в нашей памяти. Браво!
Well there's no denying that Sykes is great - but from what I've heard - he's a hard ass. The band The Winery Dogs was supposed to be him, Billy Sheehan, & Mike Portnoy. He wasn't ready when they were - so Eddie Trunk suggested Richie Kotzen. Plus he was supposed to have a solo album this year & still nothing. When you only have a handful of albums & you're tough to work with - then you're not gonna be out there constantly touring like some of the musicians are to this day.
Sykes pushed this band into an entirely new level!!! He is one of the most underrated players ever!
In a word : Yes. Blue Murder s first l.p.. Oh man!
Yep him and DC are platinum acts coulda ruled for long til grunge came but...
His work with Thin Lizzy and Tygers of Pan Tang is also just awesome.
Sykes also ruined a good thing when he went behind David's back during the recording of the '87 album

Back in the day they where fantastic
Brilliant stuff!
ホワイトスネイク最高！ デビットカヴァーデールがセクシーで大好きです。😂コンサートにも行ってきました。その時の記憶がよみがえりました。
Cozy Powell best drumer of the history if Whitesnake, good man very stronger with beatifull face.
Cozy Powell、John Sykes最高のメンバー。
THIS IS AMAZING FANTISTIC!!!!!! REAL HARD ROCK BAND
I Love you Whitesnake ! @_@
Imagine the total rock scene domination Whitesnake would have had the decades to follow with this lineup.
Состав был великолепен,работали лучшие в тот период.Но одно дело живое выступление во время гастролей.И совсем другое видение перспектив на будущее. Каждый из этого состава мыслящий и творчески одаренный мастер. Ездить по разным странам и выступать с накатанными мелодиями ребята не смогли . Далее Дэвид ,понимая это,делал перерывы и менял составы. Каждый из этого прекрасного состава шел своей творческой дорогой. Нам очень повезло,мы их видели,ценили. Они навсегда остаются в нашей памяти. Браво!
Sykes is a true legend
Essa formação do Whitesnake é matadora!
when its sykes, you only need 1 guitar player !!! to me, this sounds much cleaner and dynamic than any other lineup he had thru the yrs
WhitesnakeForever🎸🎸🎸🎸
The legend that is Cozy Powell showing how it is done
This is the Whitesnake lineup that should have stayed together for sure. Sure wish Sykes would come out of hiding and put music out again.
Well there's no denying that Sykes is great - but from what I've heard - he's a hard ass. The band The Winery Dogs was supposed to be him, Billy Sheehan, & Mike Portnoy. He wasn't ready when they were - so Eddie Trunk suggested Richie Kotzen. Plus he was supposed to have a solo album this year & still nothing. When you only have a handful of albums & you're tough to work with - then you're not gonna be out there constantly touring like some of the musicians are to this day.
Greatest lineup for this band!
By far the best whitesnake lineup!!
こりゃ凄い！こんな鮮明な映像が残っているとは！
