UNA LOCURA

David Coverdale - ex-vocalista do Deep Purple nos anos 70 e líder vocal do Whitesnake, sempre foi um grande vocalista do rock, uma voz incrível que eu e minha esposa tivemos a oportunidade de assistir com o Whitesnake (de graça, porque ganhamos dois ingressos), num show junto com Judas Priest, mas verdadeiramente David Coverdale tentou QUEIMAR o guitarrista John Sykes quando este foi demitido do Whitesnake. Inclusive rolou uma treta numa entrevista com os dois, mas tudo foi resolvido pacíficamente. Porém é verdade que David Coverdale, disse que Sykes era um guitarrista comum que não atendia aos interesses do Whitesnake, o que eu discordo totalmente, porque foi John Sykes que elevou o Whitesnake a categoria de banda mais pesada do Heavy'n'Hard, (por sinal Sykes fez isto também no Thin Lizzy, antes da morte de Phil Lynott). Com Sykes no Whitesnake a banda de David Coverdale entrou para uma nova muito mais pesada e moderna fase na sua carreira, porque John Sykes sempre teve um estilo muito mais voltado ao Heavy Metal de tocar, fato que não acontecia no Whitesnake com Bernie Mardsen (que foi um guitarrista com influencia do Blues, portanto, que ainda mantinha o Whitesnake como um mero súdito do Deep Purple e quando Sykes entrou isto mudou totalmente. Razões de lado a lado à parte, essa semana o mundo perdeu um dos seus maiores guitarristas, o seis cordas que realmente foi um dos precursores do Heavy Metal pelo seu estilo em criar riffs desconsertantes, como vimos Sykes tocar na primeira edição do Rock in Rio 1985 aqui no Brasil. Além disso, John Sykes sempre foi um guitarrista bastante CARISMÁTICO e muito bonito, que além disso se vestia muito bem, o que chamou bastante atenção da imprensa brasileira durante o Rock in Rio. Inegavelmente, David Coverdale teve que dividir sua presença de palco com John Sykes e isto também incomodou, por isso Sykes foi substituído por Adrian Vanderberger repentinamente no Whitesnake, inclusive de maneira bastante INJUSTA, pois até os créditos no disco e no vídeo de Is this Love, Still of The Night, e outras músicas do Whitesnake o nome de Sykes sequer aparece. Enfim.... John Sykes foi um dos guitarristas mais injustiçados dos anos 80 e 90, mesmo tendo ingressado na sua primeira banda Tygers of Pan Tang já mostrando a que veio. E também o Tygers of Pan Tang que eu lancei e toquei primeiro no Brasil, ganhou projeção rápida exatamente por conta dos riffs de guitarra desconsertantes dele. E cá entre nós, COLD SWEAT, que ele tocou com o Thin Lizzy no album Thunder & Lightining é um desbunde, um massacre de acordes e riffs que só John Sykes sabia exatamente como executar. Finalizando: Apesar de toda injustiça e tentativa de apagar seu nome e trajetória, John Sykes foi um dos guitarrista que irá continuar influenciando os novos músicos do rock, porque com certeza ele permanecerá no mesmo patamar, no mesmo nível de outros grandes como: Gary Moore, Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Viviam Campbell, Eddie Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Joe Satriani e outras feras. MINHA OPINIÃO! Wilson Alexandre

No words could say how much I miss you...

One of great guitarist.

So heartbroken over your passing. One of my biggest influences. So glad I got to meet you. What a beautiful kind hearted man. R.I.P. John

I've always wondered who's white snake guitar player I knew it wasn't crappy vai or vandeberg dude .John name I've been hearing a lot about but did not he was the man behind white snake Coverdale is a bitch for kicking him out I hope he got publishing credit

いなくなってしまって寂しいです

R.I.P

Thanx very much but who is that on the first pic showing up when I try to share this video? Its kinda weird to start a video about Sykes but seeing a different, though great looking guy, first

RIP John 💔

Have this on DVD 🤘😎👍

Coverdale stole his fame. Then the knife in the back of Blue Murder by the record execs was amazingly unfair. Sykes was an incredible talent that was let down by the industry he bled for. RIP.

John Sykes Great talen music band 🎸🙏

Good bye sweet man❤

R.i.P Legend!!! Thanks for your talent!!!!🤘🎸🙏

Wish the guitar was a bit louder in the mix. Cool footage.

Thank you John. ❤

R.I.P. 😢

R.I.P. Legend!

I sometimes wish that when our heroes are nearing the end that the news comes out so we can tell them what they have meant to us and how they have affected our lives. RIP John. You were legendary.

大好きだよ 安らかにお休み下さい。

Rest in peace my friend ❤ we go back many year's , many memories , Amen . 😢

Killer guitar player! Shocking news.

RIP

Eddie Van Halen had absolutely nothing on John Sykes. He is one of the greatest of all time. Top 5 for sure, He could make sounds come out of his guitar that no one else could. I mean Thin Lizzy had Gary Moore, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Snowy White and John Sykes. John may have been the best. All 5 are in the Top 10 of guitar players.

John Sykes RIP

So killer!

Thank you, John, for your wonderful songs and guitar playing that was extremely expressive. You were the best guitarist. I pray for your soul to rest in peace.

RIP John Sykes

Saw this tour in Orlando

RIP John you are Legendary

The true "Blue Murder" that occurred was what the 90's did to music like this. Always bugged me that it became uncool overnight to know how to kill it with riffs and licks like this. Give me his vibrato for days, please. Never say die Mr. Sykes!!!

Thank you kindly for Posting this Video 🎉 🇬🇧 😊

Mr. John "Beast" James Sikes 🎸🫡😎🤘

Love this guy, amazing player and singer, whatever happened to him?

God early Fates was so good. The later stuff will put you to sleep

"Killing Technology" tour. Saw them on this tour with "Kreator."

Cold-Sweat is PHIL LYNOTTS song.. WHY O WHY cant you acknowledge the late great PHILIP John ??

The added fake audience cheering is very annoying.

why do i hear 3 guitars but it's just him onstage ?

Usually I prefer arch singing his songs and ray singing his songs but in this show he sounds so good

Dont matter if they lose thier voice or not it happens when you get older thats life but they did what rheydid like to see you do better i bet you wont be able to hang

Hey man Fates Warning,, Queensryche,,a d Dreamtheater,, are the best of the very best Progressive metal no one will ever be close to them ,, sorry the truth hurts huh ,,,,

One time we where atsomeones garage and S A Slayer walked in tomeet andseeRay cause they knew he was about to pot Sam Antonio on the map it was the shit man ......south side
