<title>Blue Murder ~~ John Sykes</title>
<description> Is it just me or does anyone else just think John S. needs to reform Blue Murder? His solo CDs are okay but NOTHING like his Blue Murder CDs. The first one is great and I thought 'Nothin But Trouble' might even be better. He just seems to put it all together when he's under the moniker of Blue Murder. And all this Thin Lizzy stuff...........I'm 31 and could care less about Thin Lizzy. I've heard some (not all) and it just bores me to death. There a band my brother who's in his mid 40's would be into. I didn't grow up in the early 70's. I want Blue Murder 3. ~~ Andrew, if you talk to him soon please ask him the chances of this. </description><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1662,1662#msg-1662</link><lastBuildDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 14:28:09 +1000</lastBuildDate>

'Addiction' is IMO probably the best album Glenn has been involved in since 'Burn'.<br />Check it out if you can.<br />By the way their are sound samples of his new album on www.glennhughes.com<br />which sound very encouraging.]]></description>

<title>Glenn Hughes</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1662,1719#msg-1719</link><description><![CDATA[ You probably already have it, but Glenn sang on John Norum´s &quot;Face The Truth&quot; album some years back and that is one great album. They did a version of &quot;Still The Night&quot;. IMHO neither Norum or Hughes ever produced anything as good as that album since - although I did hear Hughes´ &quot;Addiction&quot; was good. Great singers and great guitarists seem to make great albums together but not always solo. I don´t find that too surprising, which is why I find it so frustrating when a talented musician persists on doing everything themselves.]]></description>

THAT I gotta hear!<br />But you're right, although Glenn is my all time favourite male vocalist he just doesn't write particularly well alone. He needs some of this synergy you mentioned. S the next Hughes/Thrall should be one to watch ou for.<br />]]></description>

<title>John Sykes &amp;amp; underachieving</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1662,1699#msg-1699</link><description><![CDATA[ Yeah, the first Blue Murder, Lizzy´s Thunder And Lightning, Whitesnake 1987 were all amazing. But what´s he really done since then that really shows his talents off? The 2nd Blue Murder album was pretty disappointing, and since then releases have been thin on the ground. If Blue Murder 3 was to be any good, he has to get musicians of the calibre of Franklin/Appice for him to get inspired. IMHO John Sykes, like many other brilliant, yet generally underachieving musos, really should realise that working together with someone else is not an admission of inadequacy, but a recognition of the synergy that happens when two or more musicians get together and float ideas around. I feel this about several musicians, actually - that is the whole point of being in A BAND. IMHO Yngwie Malmsteen, Ronnie Dio, and Gary Hughes to name but three would benefit from a little of that attitude. I read in Classic Rock somewhere that Glenn Hughes and John Sykes may work together and that is the sort of combination that could benefit both parties - not to mention we, the listeners! ]]></description>

For that alone Sykes deserves respect.<br /><br />OOOHH! CONTROVERSIAL!!]]></description>

<title>RE: Blue Murder ~~ John Sykes</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1662,1680#msg-1680</link><description><![CDATA[ Blue Murder was OK. But please don't complain so much about the<br />recent tours with Lizzy. Sykes guitarsolos will always sound best within<br />the Lizzy-format. I think he knows that too.<br />I'm also 31 and I discovererd Thin Lizzy back in '77 so I don't agree with you<br />that you have to be 45 years to remember that band.<br />The new Lizzy liverecord seems to get a worldwide release which is something<br />Sykes hasn't accomplished in many years. Maybe if that record sells well<br />the new Sykes album will get the worldwide release it deserves.<br />So please buy it for that reason anyway.<br />]]></description>
