The John Sykes & Blue Murder Story. This week, we dive into the wild and frustrating saga of John Sykes and Blue Murder—the hard rock supergroup that should have dominated arenas but instead fizzled in the shadows of the glam metal explosion. After redefining Whitesnake with his iconic riffs on “1987,” John Sykes was ousted just as the band hit its peak. Refusing to disappear, he formed Blue Murder with Tony Franklin and Carmine Appice. Despite a debut album packed with massive hooks, virtuoso playing, and Sykes’s stunning vocals and guitar work, Blue Murder couldn’t break through. Why? Was it the label? The timing? Or the curse of being too good for the era's Aqua Net and image obsession? We dig deep into the lineup changes, Geffen’s botched promotion, the stunning production, and the legend of an album that became a cult classic.
