Man it's a shame my generation of guitar players doesn't know who John Sykes is. He directly inspired James, Dave and Kirk. What a fucking beast of a guitar player and so far ahead of his time.
I lost track of the band after Sebastian, but I've dipped in every now and then over the years. This guy certainly has the chops and is way better than Solinger. But the band won't ever be complete without Rob and Sebastian.
I was at this show. They played this set before Iron Maiden and Queen (with Freddie). RIP Cozy Powell. Sykes had an amazing guitar tone, perfect for his melodic bends. I haven’t kept up with him but I hope he quit the noodling nonsense, it’s embarrassing. 😅
"Here's a song featuring John Sykes on guitar while the rest of us look meekly on". No wonder the twat sacked Sykes. He was jealous of the limelight JS was taking from him. Not surprised really.
Skid Row is still a great band, they were always harder than any other band lumped into the hair metal genre. And they always looked like grunge dudes with long hair more than a hair metal band, because that's how 80s heavy metal fans looked. Ironic that grunge destroyed metal record sales, because it was more of a look than a real movement in music.
Coverdale no llega a las notas en directo😢,solo en el estribillo....john skies sin embargo cuando la canta llega perfectamente ademas de tocar la guitarra
