      I agree Coverdale was an absolute arse to JS and the rest of the band John did all the hard work wrote the entire 1987 album for snake and got shit on by DC who took all the credit for it never forgave him for it .......... tosser.

    Sykes is just killing it. That tone is supernatural and his voice is spot on. This is a perfect example of the type of talent that the grunge movement steamrolled. Insane.

The steamrolled should have happened to thin out the "imposter glam rock dick heads"... damn shame because there were along with Blue Murder, Badlands & Salty Dog ..a few great bands who's roots were Raw Blusey Ballsy Hard Guitar Rock !!!!!

    No doubt about it--Sykes is CRIMINALLY underrated--he totally rocks!! My favorite Blue Murder tune is their cover of "Itchycoo Park"--an incredible song to begin with but Sykes just kicks so much ass on it!! It's one of my favorite covers of all time!! I'll never forget one year on vacation in California on a perfect Saturday at Venice Beach---83 degrees, immaculate blue sky, gorgeous girls in skimpy bikinis everywhere you turn then suddenly some dude comes on the beach with a humongous boombox blasting the Sykes cover of "Itchycoo Park"..it was a moment that was all...too...beautiful!!!!

    So much love for John in these comments, I hope he's reading. Guitar is too low on the mix on this recording. Note to all the guitarists with their massive pedalboards and shitload of FX, I just see a Wah pedal for John, what a talent with a pure sound. When everyone was saturating their guitar with Chorus and FX in the 80's, which hasn't dated well at all, his sound from the 80's still sounds fresh and in your face. RIP Nick Green who gave the Blue Murder sound that shiny keyboard sheen. Much respect to John for always remembering Philo. Met John with Lizzy reunion in Dublin a few years back, signed my guitar at Lizzy's hotel and was a humble gentleman, he made sure Scott Gorham signed it too.

    I don't know how many "worthy musicians" are out there. But the number of bassists who have great tone, turn up on time for rehearsals, have great stage presence, can provide killer backup vocals, are fun to be around, and are not abusing something, may be small. Being in a touring band is more than just being able to play an instrument.
