Thanks for the link, that was great. And yeah, agree with your last sentence… it's a shame.VicStelly wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 9:33 am https://youtu.be/L3uzjvsq5Nk?si=HWJjRBUnbFStiT8A
The middle jam in incredible. Bass playing is superb.
Sykes has to be a headcase not to be producing anything.
He wanted to audition another singer for WS, not do the singing himself. Don’t think he considered singing until it didn’t work out with Tony Martin in the early days of Blue Murder.Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 10:19 am You can see why he thought that he could take over when Cov blew out his septum... because he could have.
He's a better singer than most guitarists, but settle down. He's not even at Michael Sweet's level, much less prime Coverdale.Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 10:19 am You can see why he thought that he could take over when Cov blew out his septum... because he could have.

This is true. Every cover version I've seen has been absolutely butchered. Halestorm's was awful.FreddyFender wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 11:00 pm Sykes is the only guy that can really play Still of the Night
Yes. Sykes and Martin wrote the song "Valley Of The Kings".DangerZone wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 9:07 pmThe Black Sabbath Tony Martin was almost in blue murder?BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 1:53 pmHe wanted to audition another singer for WS, not do the singing himself.

What's funny is that it was the second time that Martin replaced Ray Gillen, who was the original singer for Blue Murder.DangerZone wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 6:01 amI didn’t know that.BiggusDickus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 5:58 amYes.

That would’ve been awesome
Yeah Sy-Ops, was meant to come out 2017, a couple of tracks got put up in 2020. Then he got dropped from the label.JizzySynatra wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 2:02 pm Wasn't Sykes supposed to release a new studio album like 5 or so years ago? I think he even posted the working album cover on it on his website. Agree, that it's a shame that he hasn't done more musically. Absolutely incredible player. Outside of the usual stuff mentioned on here, his solo album 20th Century is great (although the production could be better).
Yeah, I think I remember Trunk really pushing that at the time. If I recall, I think that was the Winery Dogs and Kotzen ended up replacing him.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 6:22 amYeah Sy-Ops, was meant to come out 2017, a couple of tracks got put up in 2020.

And ten/fifteen years ago he announced he was doing a supergroup with Mike Portnoy, that imploded as well. He can’t work with anyone anymore.
