New Sykes Track!

[Purpleibby]

OMG, and it's GOOD! The SOLO, the song, the tone...man this is the kinda stuff we've been wait for from John! Really happy to hear it! Sounds like it could have been on a Blue Murder album!

 

[stratjacket]

Yeah that was really cool.

 

[Mark Skid]

Whatever happened, to my rock and roll?

 

[RockyStar]

Good stuff! Not exactly what I was initially expecting but cool nevertheless.

 

[RaceU4her]

this might have made it to #8 on the top 10 countdown in 85

 

[Donnie B.]

Love Sykes but this isn't anything he hasn't already done better.

 

[Fiesta Red]

Yuk

 

[Gitfiddler]

I didn't love it, but I immediately pulled a LP out of a case and played for a bit. Hope to hear more from him. The Sykes "bar" is a high one..

 

[Purpleibby]

Love Sykes but this isn't anything he hasn't already done better.

Actually I don't think I've heard him to do that lick(decending in 4s) before, sounds like he's incorperating some new licks in there....If he can bring new music and great playing as good as he did before with Blue Murder, that would be fine with me!

 

[PDC]

The fact that he is still churning stuff like this out is incredible. If everyone with legit talent had to sit on the bench after they have had their best play, the game gets pretty darned boring.

 

[Fret-Shredder]

Not new. If you search that song he posted it about 3 years ago. This is just a better mastering. I love it. I really want this album to get released. The world can use some more John Sykes music to rock out to.

Not even 3 years ago. More like 10 years old. Here's the leaked track from 2011:

It's a good song but far from new. It's also sad that Sykes is sitting on material from over 10 years. I know people at labels that tried to get him signed etc and it's impossible to get it done.

 

[RockyStar]

Well....shit. We've been duped yet again by the Sykes shuffle.

 

[gbsmusic]

The song is good the tone and the chops are excellent as always, love listening to his playing!

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

My take away is that those racing bikes go really really fast. Not much room for driver error there or you are toast.

Great tone and chops as usual of course, song was "good".

 

[Chubbs]

I dig it. Just wish the guy would tour or do an interview. It's not like the demand isn't there
