I played this back in the 80s with my Arena Rock band along with Jelly Roll! Fans went nuts! Met him backstage @ a gig in NY..yeah... we had matching hair & he's a Horndog!! Lol. Love him tho
umm hello these are all well recognized artists from that era. they were all in big bands. this is what we call a super Group. as a band they didnt get real big. but they really didnt stay together long enough to. they only put out two albums and the line up changed a lot.
Patrick Langan Oooooh yes ... Have heard a lot of heavy stuff ... I'm not talking about metal or progressive ... I'm talking about HEAVY stuff ... This is about as heavy as it gets! ;O)
Yeah. I know what you're talking about. In fact Whitesnake (John Sykes formed Blue Murder after being ousted from Whitesnake) doesn't call themselves a metal band, but a hard rock/rhythm and blues band.
Pursued this type of music for quite a while ... juz doesn't get more heavy than that! (Yup: Listened to Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Whitesnake, Van Halen ... later on got into Extreme, Dream Theater ... (and of course Vai, Satriani, Howe, Macalpine ... etc. ...) but when it comes to "heavy-ness" there was nothing like it! I had the honor of a support-job for "Thin Lizzy" (without Mr. Lynott) back in '98 ... where I actually talked to Mr. Sykes ... He's my superduper favorite rock'n'roll guitar-hero of all times! ;O)
To me those are different versions of the same thing....maybe 1/20th or less of the spectrum...but that's just my opinion, no more or less valid than anyone else's...to each their own.
Ptolemy's book Tetrabiblos is the classical book on astrology and geocentrism. Also known as a mathematician, general of Alexander the Great, and pharaoh of Egypt.
Get a great stereo and watch the bass speakers thump . Used to be my thing back in the eighties and nineties . Nothing compares to being young and watching 300 watts kick your Pioneer sound systems ass into a roiling thumping bass booming monster . It doesn’t make ones neighbors happy ,but what kid cares about their neighbors when young and music is life ,especially in the 80’s early 90’s . Everyone needed to hear your sound system !
I wish Sykes had not become so obsessive with his guitar and songs having to be perfect. Before he stopped making music for the masses, his heart shone through all his playing. Come back Mr. Sykes, we miss thee!!!
I never quite got into this Blue Murder album - may have to listen to it a bit more. His guitar/work/influence on the Thin Lizzy album Thunder and Lightning make it one of my favourite albums : )
Blue Murder to John Sykes is what Rising Force is to Yngwie Malmsteen and Megadeth to Dave Mustaine. This ex shredder of Whitesnake may as well be an equivalent to Chuck Norris with a My Little Pony guitar, holy fuck!!!

Zakk: Squeal! John: Hold my beer.
You called that
Now you all know why Still of the Night from Whitesnake was so epic. Love the Middle-eastern vibe of the riff and solo. Epic, indeed!
It's so heavy you can't get it off the fucking turntable.
2020 and my arm hairs still stand at attention to this masterpiece.

Stellar band.. and for me, they were sooo underrated. Still blows the shit on the radio today out of the water!!
Most under rated Guitar God, its amazing how everything talent goes unnoticed!!

Colin sorry mate Sykes is a very rare Gem!
You can think hip hop’s dumbing down.
Buck Dharma, Brian Tatler, Rik Emmet, John McGeoch, etc,etc,etc
back when I first heard this the exotic minor key thing went over my head .
would be nice to hear this re recorded on modern equipment
The fretless bass is so cool. What a great album.
Was listening to Ptolemy at work Friday night and couldn’t get it off my mind so here I am. Great song. Energizing.
Tony Franklin!! Smoking that fretless! Bad ass trio!!
Of all Blue Murder's tunes, this one would be my FAV!
Patrick Langan Oooooh yes ... Have heard a lot of heavy stuff ... I'm not talking about metal or progressive ... I'm talking about HEAVY stuff ... This is about as heavy as it gets! ;O)
Yeah. I know what you're talking about. In fact Whitesnake (John Sykes formed Blue Murder after being ousted from Whitesnake) doesn't call themselves a metal band, but a hard rock/rhythm and blues band.
Especially if you continue to listen solo layers till the end of song. Insane!
That’s right!
Sykes, Appice, Franklin, Bob Rock, and Sykes again
This and Still Of The Night which John Sykes did with Whitesnake never grow old.
At the end 2 layers solo even much explosive! Hat off Mr.Sykes

I love it. He rips, and his playing is so smooth.
Electric Wizard is infinitely heavier
Preach, Bro

My bro just met him today, said Sykes is super chill/good people.
Ptolemy's book Tetrabiblos is the classical book on astrology and geocentrism. Also known as a mathematician, general of Alexander the Great, and pharaoh of Egypt.
Let's hear it for Carmine on that one!
This just rolled up on my rotation. Instant banger!
just listening in Bose headphones Insane in Heaven!

Had this album came out acouple of years before it's release it would've been a much bigger album. Timing is everything.
Thank you much uploader for exceptional Composer John Sykes 👏 ❤
I love the lead.
I love the lead that starts at 2:51
He start doing that on Tigers album it is like lightning from Heaven!
absolute "BRILLIANCE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
This track is fucking epically, awesome 👏 can’t get enough of Mega talented Blue Murder!!! Groundbreaking ain’t even close!!!
Wow sir, you also like this song ah? My all family also like this song. We cry because this song, we say "anantha kaneer"
Blue pinch harmonics
Incredible song. I heard it in the record store and immediately bought the cassette.
How is the album on cassette? Ive got a vinyl copy and love it. I might consider getting the cassette version.
this is art!
I wish Sykes had not become so obsessive with his guitar and songs having to be perfect. Before he stopped making music for the masses, his heart shone through all his playing. Come back Mr. Sykes, we miss thee!!!
Absolutely no comparisons to Blue Murder!
This album should have been huge.
You can blame Geffen for not marketing them properly.
Loudwire announced yesterday Sykes will be on the road with Tony and new drummer
bought a cassette but lost it but still my favor band
I think this is my FAV Blue Murder song.
This track is a banger that is grandiose, epic, and kick ass.
Brilliant riffs.
Rifftastic
I'm here because of Carmine's Facebook post
Me too lol
I never quite got into this Blue Murder album - may have to listen to it a bit more. His guitar/work/influence on the Thin Lizzy album Thunder and Lightning make it one of my favourite albums : )
I got this album on vinyl about 2 weeks ago and it sounds killer.
Iconic and legendary and insane solo!
Epic! Great squealing harmonics
Ufffff, que gran álbum, cuando salio al mercado, era una joya tenerlo en tu estanteria, que temas, que musicos y que estilo,, ok
One of my favorite lead breaks.
Lead where can break one? Aiyah, you are!
From a bad ass rock song I feel compelled to study about Ptolemy :-)
Absolutely epic 💯
Cool rock music. 😎🆒️
Sykes is a great singer.
Epic song!!!
John Sykes 👍👍👍
Blue Murder to John Sykes is what Rising Force is to Yngwie Malmsteen and Megadeth to Dave Mustaine. This ex shredder of Whitesnake may as well be an equivalent to Chuck Norris with a My Little Pony guitar, holy fuck!!!
Easily one of the best and most underrated Hard Rock albums off all time!
John sykes is a bad man this could have been in john wick
結局ジョンサイクスの新作は出ないで終わってしまうのかな、人は老いるのが定めだからしょうがないか。
Dio, Holy Diver?
サイクスは歌も上手いね
John Sykes' voice reminds me of Mel Galley's at times.
This should have been in the movie Conan
prefer the concept of holy dover ......
I wander if the King Ritchie can played this solo in this aggressive maner?
