I always take the opportunity to take stabs at Trunk, but this Sykes story is pretty great!

Apologies if this has been posted. It's 'me me me' as expected, but this time it's justified. One of the few times I smiled listening to an Eddie Trunk story:

Thank you for the link, it's a wonderful story.

While Sykes is undoubtedly a talented guitarist and songwriter, and one of my all-time favorite musicians, his temperament over the years has proven to present challenges in a band setting.

It's a shame we never got to see him perform live with Sheehan and Portnoy.

I hope the demo material with them is released in its entirety at some point in time.

I don't blame Sykes not wanting to be seen onstage with goofy ass pink bass licking Billy Sheehan. Sykes had a whole different vibe that that clown.
