"John Sykes: His Words, His Music" Rockumentary Film Part 1

In Part 1 of John Sykes: His Words, His Music, we follow John’s career throughout the 1980s, beginning with his stellar guitar work and impact with NWOBHM upstarts Tygers of Pan Tang. Next, we hear from John on how he first hooked up with Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy, followed up by his joining of Whitesnake, the bitter dissolution of his partnership with David Coverdale, and then the creation of John’s own power trio band, Blue Murder. We hear reflections from both John and third parties, such as metal radio personality Eddie Trunk, on the highs and lows of John’s trajectory throughout the 1980s. Each period is interspersed with excerpts of live performance footage of John doing what he does best, making people smile with his dazzling guitar displays.
