  John Sykes won the game of life - wrote songs that will be listened to for eternity and made enough money to walk away from the crazy lifestyle. God bless one of the best rock guitarist/songwriter in history.

  Sykes gave Whitesnake their best album. The guy is incredible. The solo in this song proves that. Once he left, that was it. His solo albums are fantastic.

  These two could have ruled the world together if they had worked their problems out. Unbelievable musical chemistry.

  Whitesnake album from 1987, some of the best guitar tone on the planet.

  The most under-rated axe wielder of his generation.

  I've seen many guitar solos...but this is absolutely the most epic solo I've ever seen. Nobody else can touch this combination of balls and technique. I watch this a couple times a year.

  Compare this version to all other Youtube versions of this song, especially the Donington with Vai and Vandy. Sykes sheer passion eats all other versions for lunch. Best lineup for this band, and by far the best WS guitarist.

  John Sykes brought life to The Tygers of Pan Tang , Thin Lizzy & Whitesnake. His playing was easily recognisable and always excellent. He also looked like what a guitar hero should look like.

  John Sykes was so good that Coverdale had to replace him with three guitarists - Vai, Vandenburg, and Vivian Campbell. And it still wasn’t enough. Sykes is one of the greats.
