John Sykes was the most underrated guitarist of the 80's. He's definitely my #2 favorite guitarist right behind Eddie.

Whitesnake > Led Zeppelin Yeah I said it! (in some ways, IMO, but not as prolific) :-)

Sykes is an amazing guitarist with tone and riffs to die for. His stint with Thin Lizzy on the Thunder & Lightning album is brilliant. Some of his earlier stuff with Tygers of Pan Tang also worth checking out.

@marcos_c_m 7 месяцев назад

Sykes is like the personification of what the perfect badass rock player is . Great melodic taste . Perfect balance between feeling and agreesive chops . Instinct to write timeless songs . Along Randy Rhoads And king Edward make the great trinity of 80s . For me the most underrated of the greatests of all times

@LeonTodd 7 месяцев назад

Sykes is the complete package. Killer player, singer, and can be a front man. Writes insane riffs. He is the truth.

coda creator I agree. I’m surprised more people don’t agree.

bradford knights I know....and without fail hits them on the low E...up and down the neck...

Now I want to listen to the whole Whitesnake album again after thirty years of not hearing it. Excellent job.

@KCJAM1 4 года назад

In a year of AMAZING albums I believe the Eponymous Whitesnake album was the best of the year. One of the last of the true great albums with hardly a poorly written (none of the songs were bad, imo!) song in the entire collection. It definitely required a full listening of every song unlike the incredibly abysmal shite cobbled together today just to be able to claim the album status.

Thank you raiding John Sykes’s name. It breaks my heart that he’s not mentioned in magazines or most online pages. What he did and created as a musician is one of a kind. He’s directly from Mount Olympus. Eddie Trunk is one of the few people from that era who still talks to John. More people should praise the name of the British Lion, Sir John Sykes. Cheers!

Absolutely superb content. I love Whitesnake and am old enough to remember when the 1987 album was first released. This video brought back so many memories and immediately made me pick up my LP and crank my JCM 800. You play these riffs with genuine enthusiasm and I loved the expression you made when picking those natural harmonics on Bad Boys. Well done Leon.

@jonbigg7385 4 года назад

That opening Still of the Night riff has always been one of my favorites. You've just inspired me to go learn some of the other riffs from that album.

@allan-shephard Год назад

Great video. I always thought "Still of the Night" was more like Deep Purple's "Rat Bat Blue". I think I've still got 1987 on vinyl in the cupboard. 🤘😁🎸

@greekfreak1980 4 года назад

Whitesnake´s "1987" is propably one of the greatest heavy-rock albums of all time. It´s just a shame,all the bullshit that happened behind the scenes of the production of this record,which culminated with Coverdale firing Sykes and pretty much the entire band. P.S. Zakk Wylde actually mentions John Sykes often,when he´s asked about influences.

@SteveFullerBikes 3 года назад

Had that not happened, we might not have gotten that first Blue Murder album, and that would be a damn shame.

@Nopeandnope3861 4 года назад

I just learned (like you have) John is very versatile......who knew he could sing so well and play so great too?

@jmar482 4 года назад

I mean come on now. 4 of the best in history. Freakn amazing songs that are just as good or even better decades later.

Thanks man! I loved this album growing up so it was a lot of fun to get in to the details with it.

@codacreator6162 4 года назад

@@LeonTodd I keep coming back. 87 is my all time favorite album, hands down. I was 22 when it came out and RUINED everything I'd been listening to... Saw Whitesnake with Motley Crue headlining and argued with some random 12 year old who thought Mick Mars was the most gifted guitarist to grace planet Earth... The other thing that stood out to me about that show was that while I'd been a fan of both Vandenberg and Dio, I really, really wanted to see Sykes. Now, I wouldn't bother to spend the money. Coverdale has been touring with a cover band since '88...

@LukeCannotSkate 4 года назад

Whitesnake seriously has 2 songs called 'Don't break my heart again' and 'You're gonna break my heart again' ffs David hahahaha

@steelin666 4 года назад

Yeah, and they're in the same key. Probably the later one originated as a jam of the earlier. David admitted that Children Of The Night was born with him and Sykes just messing around with Burn. And David really likes to revisit his earlier works to reinvent them in some way.

I could NEVER choose 5 for QueensRyche. They have a KILLER riff in literally every song since the Prophecy. DeGarmo was 1 of my biggest guitar idols from 84 until Promised Land. I was literally at their 1st EVER show in Portland, Oregon. If you choose to do QR next you'd better choose wisely. You know EVER QR fan on Earth is going to put you under a microscope. Choosing 5 riffs from them would be impossible for me, and I know every riff they ever done, front & back. Looking forward to seeing what you choose. And don't choose ANY After DeGarmo left of course. That will piss all QR fans off lol.
