I am only recently getting into Sykes - I was only 2 years old in 1987, and I may be late to the Sykes in Whitesnake fan club, but damn he's good.
I just bought the first Blue Murder album as well and it's bloody amazing. Great player, and a surprisingly good singer. I was very impressed.

I met John in 2003 when Lizzy played a small club here in New York and he is an awesome dude.I had a BLS shirt on and he stopped me to talk about Zakk.He gave me some picks too.He absolutely ripped that night.
What did John have to say about Zakk?
I've been a Zakk fan since I first heard him BLS at Ozzfest '01 - again, wasn't yet playing and too young and too English to have really heard about him before. However the more I listen to Sykes, I notice things that sound very similar to Zakk, some the same. Or should I say Zakk sounds like Sykes.
I've just never really heard of Zakk mentioning Sykes in interviews.
