Sykes suffered a couple years of depression after he was fired from Whitesnake and then that first Blue Murder album didn't sell millions (like it should have) in America. I honestly think John Sykes hasn't released his "new" solo album because nobody buys Rock albums anymore.. Why put years of your life into recording a great record, only to have it illegally downloaded, put up on KZbin so everyone can listen for free, only sell a few thousand copies...if that ?!?! The music industry is total garbage now. Rap, pop, country albums still sell , but rock albums don't because they don't get marketed correctly by the remaining music labels. It's easier and safer for these record companies to hype some solo artist and pass it off as the next big thing
@ozzulas3 жыл бұрын
@George Lynch Dixon to me, the Blue Murder debut album is the real follow up to 1987, with even some better songs and singer, just a personal taste of course.

So much so in 1970 they were fired from 2 opening for 2 bands.....JIMI HENDRIX, and LED ZEPPELIN! They destroyed the stage. CACTUS was a 3 piece band with a singer. Hendrix remarked to his trio, how in the hell can a 3 piece band with a singer, sound that big? The few shows they opened for Jimi, had Jimi not liking going out there after they finished!

Why release an album that will only sell 5k copies? Most people think music is or should be free now 😭🤦🤦 Some joker will put it up on KZbin and most people (even so called"Fans" ) won't buy it , they will go on KZbin and listen for free. It's a sad state of affairs for Rock Music now. I think Sykes don't want to see all those years and effort spent making the album to be all for nothing. It won't sell well and he will be even further depressed. He must still be upset about being used by Coverdale ... Without John Sykes, whitesnake would never have made it big. Whitesnake was nothing prior to '87, and again nothing after John was fired.. The writing is on the wall, that album was great BECAUSE of John Sykes. If David Coverdale is the reason why it sold 10m copies then point me to the subsequent 10m selling albums .. You can't, because it was down to Sykes writing
