The first and indelible Sykes moment for me was at the age of 12, with a mix tape I found at a record store in London called Heavy. Near the end of it was the Tygers of Pan Tang playing Love Potion #9. I was blown away by what Sykes did on that. From then on, I always watched for his name, and was never disappointed!

2025-02-02 17:15:54 +0000 UTCMore great work Uncle Ben. Cheers! Although a humble man, John Sykes's playing was the epitome of righteous and unafraid. Guitar wise, the equivalent of the guy who turns up to your party with his cock out who then immediately romps your all too willing girlfriend on the lounge room floor, thus totally impressing the shit out of all the grateful observers, especially you! The guitarist's guitarist! I'm so fucking gutted! To think I had planned to win lotto soon and finance his next masterpiece. :(

2025-02-02 07:56:21 +0000 UTCThe first time I heard the first Blue Murder album, I completely forgot about pretty much every other band and listened to that CD over and over, it was ridiculous. And I knew the man could play guitar but had not idea he could SING like that. Know he got treated like s**t by Coverdale and others, but he was also pretty big on his own in Japan for a while there. Hope him and Dime are having a blast! R.I.P Mr. Sykes, and thank you! You changed my playing forever!

2025-02-02 00:43:29 +0000 UTCGreat job with this tribute! You always recognized how great he was. How can you describe a player like him with just so much talent?!! He was a force of nature on the guitar. The sad thing is, he was robbed of glory, by both Coverdale and management. John Sykes was Whitesnake 1987 and HE was the reason that Coverdale was finally able to breakthrough in the US! Coverdale can go on about how he extended the olive branch in the past, and John said no⦠kind of reminds me of how Gretchen and Elliot treated Walter White with Great Matter Industries. for you Breaking Bad fans.
