John Sykes - Still Got The Blues - Bob Daisley and Friends feat. Danny Bowes & Don Airey

“MOORE BLUES FOR GARY - A TRIBUTE TO GARY MOORE”

[@ericmcgivern4429]

John graduated from Gary Moores school of Rock with an Honours Degree always loved both their playing !!!❤

[@AndreaMaccianti]

John is the best, his unique sound, very recognizable, his playing, the crazy vibrato. Who better than him could pay tribute to Master Gary. I wait for your new record :)

[@LT-qd9ts]

Much like Gary Moore, John is one of the best damn guitarists most people never heard of. He got a raw deal from Coverdale; never appearing in any of those videos or on tour off the '87 album. He would have stolen the spotlight and become a household name.

[@verminfawlty-arat.5650]

+LT9856 You've nailed it.Absolutely no doubt,regardless of what may or may not have happened between Sykesy & Coverdale,Coverdale was so,so threatened & jealous of John Sykes'talent.Once the record came out,if John would have remained,that would've got much worse,with all the deserved plaudits John would've rightly recieved ..

[@tieukhavu8832]

Thanks to Bob Daisley (ex- Black Sabbath, ex-Ozzy, ex-Rainbow and of course former bassist for Gary) to hiring some of the greatest musicians in the history of rock n roll to pay tribute for his friend. I love it. And Gary would love it too.

[@heathday7360]

@@LT-qd9ts The 87 album wouldn't ever be the same without Sykes. Coverdale screwed the pooch on getting rid of that talent. I'm so glad he took part in this. Gary is one of the all time greats. What a great compliment for Sykes. He's such a badass.

[@stelio90]

Dude, don't forget John Norum ;)

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

Thank you to Bob Daisley for putting this together!

[@luisroberto2142]

Sykes - my hero...........John, back to the music, please. For God's sake. You're a genius, a legend, a master, one of the greatest guitar composers. come back with solo artist, Blue Murder, supergroup, Tygers, Whitesnake (that's harder), anyway, the world needs you. You have fans all over the world. Gibson Les Paul, needs you

[@lillacoix9808]

[@kevinsteur1]

Thin lizzy!

[@apisroses1]

Up

[@Tolbiny]

When John got the offer to join Thin Lizzy he went round to Gary Moore's house. John later said that Gary showed him “a lot of stuff”.

[@powermedal3578]

John Sykes, hands down, one of the all time best guitarists ever to play the instrument. John Sykes is one-of-a-kind 👍😎

[@user-iq2eh8kb2q]

no doubt sykes is an unsung hero

[@Maizerus]

Over and over I listen to this without end after finding out about this song... Sykes is the greatest living metal Les Paul player there is in the world today... then to hear him cover another of my deeply personal heroes, Gary, knowing the pedigree they both hold, their similar styles, their shared friendship with Phil Lynott from different eras...you quickly realize what's brilliant about this track - and that is that John is NOT mimicking Gary at all...paying homage to him, you bet your ass... but John is just playing like John. I just can't even at this track...holy shit. I'm so happy he did this.

[@muythaimutha]

I agree Sykes is legendary

[@jonfaerman7518]

i have the same feeling mate...it is amazing!!!!!

[@seangaffneygaffney2811]

I agree 1st I'd like to thank MR Bob daisley who iv seen wit Gary s few times n John Sykes and Danny Bowes have done an excellent tribute to Gary Moore. I jst got it 4 Christmas n have bn playing it non stop. Iv saw danny wit thunder n Phil n Gary playing n John wit lizzy n whitesnake. What a player too. Well done everybody involved. I met guitarist Gary backstage in Dublin after a gig unveiling a statue of Phil and he was lovely wit his dad and sister ,but I wouldn't mess wit Gary Moore. I have total respect. R.i.p. Phil n Gary

[@tyrannosaurusshred7849]

John Sykes Slays 🤘

[@haliaeetus8221]

This version is less melodramatic than the original one and that's a good thing for me.

[@MatsKlang]

John Sykes..emotion..melodi and technique!

[@citizenerazed5539]

John is the only one who deserves Gary's place.

[@moose6666]

If the best vibrato ever doesn't tell you it's Sykes, then the outro with the descending run and the 2 pinched harmonics will erase any doubt! One of the best guitarists ever!!! 🤘

[@pablodebiddlybo3771]

That vibrato is unmistakable. John I’d love to come and watch your band play.

[@fernandocarlosgoce1282]

No one has cry that gibson like John....

[@prianonymousblank1656]

what ?

[@andrewwhitehead7252]

Absolutely gobsmacked listening to this can’t stop playing it Gary would’ve been very pleased with this great great effort from John .

[@kristiankumanov5732]

I'm glad to hear something new from John Sykes.It's awesome

[@davidbaron8330]

They should have let John sing it, too.

[@yianniszcovers]

I could listen Sykes improv on this chord progression for hours and be overwhelmed with emotion in every lick. John took this song to whole different level!! Danny's voice is born for these kind of heardroken songs! Perfect version!

[@fourthlayer]

The outro is so painfully good! The vocals are excellent, but that damn guitar cries with passion! Thats from one guitarist to another! Great job to John Sykes!

[@matthewpaolini]

Sykes is the quintessential metal player. Best all around. Vocals are great too.

[@toMCsh]

As a huge Gary Moore fan, all I have to say is that this is righteous!

[@wendygould7836]

Johns immaculate touch is so superbly sublime. Touches my soul.

[@patlesage1256]

John is a wonderful guitar player...he is the best artist to make a real, great Tribute to Gary....RIP Gary...

[@dommylfofied8491]

Great Gary Moore, Great John Sykes !

[@eclipsekittykat7667]

What an amazing tribute to Gary from John as nobody else could do justice to this song better!! All Gary's nuances are there and then John rips into his famous licks at the end truly outstanding!!

[@dannymcmince]

sykes and garys style is so alike!

[@RobertWeingher]

Great cover version, the vocalist is perfect and sykes plays from the heart like always, gary moore was a great guitar player and a very good vocalist in my my humble opinion, i miss him so much, thanks for sharing.

[@fredriclunden54]

Pure magic John Sykes, thanks for this awesome piece!!! : )!

[@123cen]

few guitarists have unique style and you dont ask who is playing. It is your turn to be a hero like Gary Moore. Love....

[@liontone]

No one better to pay tribute to GM than JS

[@flickdasher1775]

try billy merziotis, best moore tribute ever.

[@BlueSardinia75]

A great tribute from his friend Bob Daisley.... Nice version from John Sykes on guitar!

[@user-hj6iw8gs7i]

John is not from this world. Hi's amazing!!!

[@verminfawlty-arat.5650]

Congratulations Sykesy. You've done the great man proud.Amazing playing. As have all the other musicians involved on this new version. Fabulous tribute to the greatest blues-based heavy/hard rock guitarist Britain & Ireland has ever produced.God Bless Gary Moore.

[@Flintbox]

It's obvious John was/is influenced by Gary and what an amazing tribute this is. He has Gary's tone and style nailed here but still quintessentially John Sykes. It takes amazing talent to make this sound like it was Gary playing John and not the other way. Awesome!

[@georgebarry8640]

Yeah...it is GREAT!!!!

[@mattonbass]

Now that was good. Great playing John Sykes.

[@dh13mpro]

John Sykes is perfect for this track!!!! Now if he would only come out of hiding. Looking forward to Sy Ops. Can’t wait!

[@tieukhavu8832]

He isn't hiding.

[@chrisrowe1265]

He was supposed to be in the Sheehan Portnoy project but flakes and they got kotzen.. He’s not hiding but he procrastinates lol

[@mikemota]

Sykes is god...

[@Woodtoter]

Just fucking love this, John Sykes is just fucking incredible, just like Gary,,,,,

[@TheKZOShow]

I'm almost getting a bit Misty eyed because I was so afraid, since we haven't really heard anything from Sykes in so long, that his health or his playing had diminished...... But my god that's the best cover of this song I've ever heard and John can still fly like none other. Would like a 10 minute version off this song where it doesn't fade and John just keeps on going! Perfect execution by Bob and his friends

[@Paul.in.Ireland]

Absolutely fantastic and a great tribute to the late great Gary..... he would certainly approve!

@@verminfawlty-arat.5650 Male I would agree. The best vocalist at the moment is Floor Jansen, Nightwish/Northward. Saw Thunder when they opened at Donington and were the Best Band of the Day. I had gone to see Whitesnake however they were piss poor, so Danny and the Boys made my day.
