John Sykes Sucks....

[Gainzilla]

IMHO, that tune is one of the most kick ass rock tunes ever written...

 

[killertone]

Sick tune, sick player.

 

[yngzaklynch]

Looking forward to upcoming album with Portnoy.

 

[Superunknown]

According to Melodicrock, Sykes quit the Portnoy project....Now that sucks!

It appears to be true.

There is a thread about it on Portnoy's site also, he hasn't responded to it yet.

Oh well, hope Sykes does something soon I don't care who it's with.

 

[War Admiral]

That IS one of the most kickass songs from my youth...Sykes rock God!!!

Ya, bring it!

Sick tune, sick player.

 

[billm408]

Killer tune and I love to play it, but it's not generally recognized except by a few.

 

[AndyK]

Misleading thread title!

 

['63-Strat]

Great player, no question. But I think it's probably a good thing he's not doing the portnoy thing, honestly. Just my .02.

Its a lesson how to play the solo from the man himself.

The secret to the Sykes style is checking your volume knob every 2 secconds

Edit: I should have read the thread better. Didn't see you guys already posted that the project w/ Portnoy was canned.

 

[SQUAREHEAD]

Incredible player - Incredible tone!

A Blue Murder reunion would be nice.

Yea it sucks that the project with Portnoy is dead, but I agree... To see Powell and Franklin on stage again with Sykes would be f*ckin awesome !

and yea, Sykes sucks cause he dont make it easy as of his solos are much harder than they look !

 

[Greg Riley]

Isn't Portnoy got a album comng out with Steve Morse and David Larue? I seen Steve Morse, Larue, Bonamassa, Vai, Gilbert, Albert Lee, and Randy Jackson perform Saturday night for the Ernie Ball 50th Anniversary party at the Hilton. It was sick! Bonamassa flat out smoked with Larue playing bass.

I just read that Richie Kotzen is replacing Sykes for that Portnoy project
