Hadn't seen this John Sykes Vid - monster vibrato Weird Al?

[WizardSouth-JP]

Not that Weird Al and John Sykes usually come up in same conversation...but whoa some monster playing.

 

[SDMF38]

That was great! Never seen that one.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Great voice, great tone, great chops. This guy was so bad ass.

 

[drjenkins]

Just awesome. Still listen to that first album on heavy rotation to this day.

 

[Mailman1971]

Awesome Video. Sykes is such a Monster.
But Tony Franklin is no slouch either. Guy is amazing on the bass.

 

[Purpleibby]

Fucking awesome, probably my fav. Blue Murder track(Billy).....The first record was incredible all the way through, second was great too but that first one was a masterpiece....They should have been huge....great stuff!!!

Yeah he was in the lead.....then Billy Ray Cyrus bumped him from being the champ.

86 Whitesnake is still the best tone I have ever heard

 

[Stramm8]

I had no idea Sykes could sing like that. And Tony Franklin is sporting a serious mullet

 

[AndyK]

Very cool. Love the black spandex jumpsuit!

I'll never know how Sykes plays line that, AND sings! He's a monster alright!

God I miss killer bands!

 

[Mailman1971]

God I miss killer bands!

Dude....I miss the Era all together.

Yup.....still stuck in the 80's.
Such a great great time for me personally.
For the haters?

 

[JTyson]

Waiting for more Sykes for sure

 

[Mailman1971]

Waiting for more Sykes for sure

This was one of my faves.....right behind Jellyroll....

Such a great recording on this clip though.

Bad Boy Live is a great Sykes tour de force, if you don't have it already. He does Whitesnake, Lizzy, and solo stuff, live in Japan. The tone on his guitar is a bit too bright for me, but killer stuff.

That's my favorite tone right there..a perfect Marshall. Of course, maybe I'm losing my hearing a bit..I tend to like a brighter tone these days..Presence is close to maxed on my Marshalls..
