5.0 out of 5 stars Still of the Night, October 11, 2000
By 
This review is from: Screaming Blue Murder (Audio CD)
I picked up this CD while stationed in Japan a few years back and it's one of my favorite live albums. On my list, it's right up there with Maiden's "Live After Death" and Yngwie's "Live in Lenningrad." The sound quality is great and Sykes' guitars and voice never sounded better. The band's overall sound is really tight. I think the best track on it is "Still of the Night." Sykes sings it better than Coverdale ever did and his guitar work is unbelievable--you get a 8-minute roller-coaster ride of guitar playing ranging from melodic to wicked. The middle 4 minutes of the tune consists of Sykes tastefully building up to some really great/fast fret work. The whole album showcases a truly talented band and all the tracks are great. An outstanding album!

4.0 out of 5 stars Blue Murder - 'Screaming Blue Murder' (Phantom), July 29, 2006
This review is from: Screaming Blue Murder (Audio CD)
Ten track live CD title,that until recently I was never even aware of.Liked this better than their self-titled debut effort(see my review).Guitarist/vocalist John Sykes IS an impressive,yet also a somewhat under-appreciated player.With that being said,keep in mind that all Blue Murder,Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy fans MAY not dig this CD as much as I did.Most memorable cuts here are "Cry For Love","Save My Love",the power rocker "Jelly Roll", Thin Lizzy's "Dancing In The Moonlight" and Whitesnake's "Still Of The Night". Sound quality is great.Do check this out as soon as you can.A must-have.

3.0 out of 5 stars fantastic guitar playing but average vocals, December 18, 2002
This review is from: Screaming Blue Murder (Audio CD)
This is the only live album from Blue Murder, the band put together by former Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake Guitarist John Sykes. The Blue Murder tracks (eg. Jelly Roll) are very good,and benefit from the live setting. However, the versions of Thin Lizzy (Dancing in the Moonlight, Cold Sweat) and Whitesnake (the immortal Still of the Night) tracks are fine when listened to by themselves, but compared to the originals they are disappointing. Sykes' chops are fantastic (he is one of rock's premier, and most underrated, guitarists), but his voice is average. He isn't a bad singer, he just lacks the character and earnest sincerity of Phil Lynott and the amazing bluesy power of David Coverdale. If this album had a few more tracks from Blue Murder albums instead of disappointing versions of songs by Sykes' former bands it would probably have got four stars. Good effort nonetheless, and still a good addition to any classic rock music collection.
