That is definitely the term being used to describe John Sykes who sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was 65
“He certainly marched to the beat of his own drum and always pulled for the underdog. In his final days, he spoke of his sincere love and gratitude for his fans who stuck by him through all these years.
He famously played on Whitesnake’s Slide It In album (1984) and the multi-platinum self titled record from 1987, which saw the band gain a firm foothold in America. However, things soured when lead singer David Coverdale fired Sykes and the rest of the band, leading the six-stringer to claim that he never wanted to speak to the frontman again.
Guns N Roses axeman, Slash, also paid tribute on Instagram with a simple message of “R.I.P”, underlining the influence Sykes had on a generation of guitar players.
He is survived by his ex-wife, Jennifer Brooks Sykes, and three children – James, John Jr and Sean.
