There's a new special joint edition of Classic Rock/Metal Hammer dedicated to rock/hard rock and heavy metal of the 1970s. It's available exclusively in WH Smith shops and contains loads of great stuff, including mini-reviews of all Lizzy's albums from the 1970s.

Re: NEWS in the World of Sykes


This sounds interesting...

Empire – new album The Raven Ride!
Guitarist Rolf Munkes is one of the busiest guys in the German metal scene right now. After two very much high-profiled releases with his band Empire, he now with The Raven Ride delivers his ultimate masterpiece which also features Tony Martin's best performance since his Black Sabbath Headless Cross days.
Vocals Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath); Guitars & Keyboards Rolf Munkes (Majesty); Bass Neil Murray (ex-Whitesnake, Black Sabbath u.a.); Drums Andre Hilgers (Silent Force).
Released in May

A little rumour on the melodicrock.com website...

"A little excitement behind the scenes today - I'm hearing strong whispers about the possible re-union of a much loved band. Exciting stuff for fans that have waited a long time for this...let me continue digging and see what information I can't come up with for next week."

Could the much-loved band be BLUE MURDER, I wonder??

No, it turns out the "much-loved" band is, in fact, Winger!

Updated my John Sykes Info website today with an interview conducted with John shortly after the release of Nothin' But Trouble in 1993. This originally appeared in Hit Parader magazine - I've corrected some errors :razz: !
