What? Oh no! John Sykes was so awesome - sad news.

Well he had cancer and apparently he had been declining for some time now.

Very sad news. I only discovered him recently when Ben Eller did a video about his work with whitesnake. Love this Thin Lizzy footage too. What a trail blazer. Keep shredding you golden god.

When I bought Megadeth’s Super Collider (their worst album) the cover of Cold Sweat was the only good song and it introduced me to this era of Thin Lizzy.
