The Throwdown: Who's the best
Whitesnake Guitarist of all time?
John Sykes, Steve Vai or
Doug AldrichThe Panel and audience picked
John Sykes.
I picked
John Sykes.
This was a no brainer and possibly the easiest throwdown ever on the show.
Sykes is the definitive guitarist for
Whitesnake and is the reason why
Steve Vai as a member didn't work for me. When
Eddie stated his reasons why, he said exactly what I have been saying for years about
Sykes Vs Vai. Don't get me wrong, I love
Vai's playing as everyone that knows me can attest to. But as a member of that band, it did not work and sounded nothing like a true
WS album
