      Sykes also ruined a good thing when he went behind David's back during the recording of the '87 album
      He was terminated from the gig and rightfully so. Coverdale laughed all the way to the bank

      @@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.

It is just brilliant. He deserves way more recognition than he gets.

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.

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!

    Valerie
    .
    Твой голос - медовый, чарующий флёр,
    который ловлю, как лишь только услышу,
    вбираю, как склоны пещеристых гор,
    и эхом добра возвращаю, и пышу.
    Слова - лепестки очень пахнущих роз,
    чей запах легко до меня долетает,
    полгода ласкает застенчивый мозг,
    а также невольно, взаправду влюбляет.
    Красивые, звонкие речи как дар.
    Сама ж источаешь и юность, и милость,
    наряжена в свежий, пшеничный загар,
    одета и в бархатность, и в шелковистость.
    Волшебные трели чаруют мой слух.
    Задорные фразы, как своды мелодий,
    звучащие песнями летних пичуг.
    И их готов слушать при каждой погоде!
