I've seen Sykes with both Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake and couoldn't agree more
with everything Gordon says. Just to add that IMO Sykes first solo album 'Blue
Murder' is probably the best thing he's ever done. Classic rock music that
really shows how good he is. A great album. If you like BOC then chances
are you'll like this album. The second Blue Murder album is IMO no where near
as good. Sykes is currently on the road with the reformed Thin Lizzy (minus
Lynott obvously) playing all the old Lizzy classics. I've not seen them but
apparently he does the vocals as well and the show is heaven for old Lizzy
fans.
