Nice interview. John it’s true, the world has changed in all areas including music. You have your place, you are the best, all your fans are looking forward to your return. 🎸🎸❤❤🤘🤘🤘
Shared a Studio with Them In Northridge. When We Would Come In, It would Smell.like Great Stir Fry, I walked behind the board.....There was a Wok. I asked, "Is Someone Cooking in Here?" And our sound man replied, "Yeah, Tony Franklin" I thought....."Any Left?" Great Times.
Absolutely. I hope John works out whatever is holding him back, pushes out the album & then, most of all, tours. I would love to see the original Blue Murder line up before I die. Having said that, I equally love to see the new outfit John has for his upcoming album. As to the tour, I'm sure I speak to all music fans here in Australia that John takes the show here so Australia can see him. Respect to you @Owen Ewards Guitar
Great interview and great to hear the Blue Murder origin story, what timing, Carmine Appice driving to Blackpool in a Ford Fiesta 😂. I met John a few years back in Dublin and he was a gentleman. #JohnSykes let's get #BlueMurder back together again... What a great album. Look at the #WineryDogs ...there's a market there and so many fans dying to see you 3 live. #JohnSykes legend!
Synchronization and love... All weekend watching the Firm concerts and the videos . Wifey turn that s*** down no, turn it up to eleven. Now I Randomly play a Firrm song, Wifey runs in jumps up and down YES TONY for the win. Thank YOU Tony.
Great interview.... I opened and hung out with Tony in Japan. It was without Sykes, it was a different singer (can't remember his name) but Carmine was there. Also meet and jammed with Carmine earlier when I was touring with Foghat. Was a pleasure having him set in, I stepped it up a notch when ever he set in.
This interview seemed very spontaneous but so great to hear the stories. Please keep us posted on Sykes and/or Blue Murder. And hopefully they can get Bob Rock involved!
Carmine might not be the most modest person out there,nor my favorite drummer by a long shot but that album is so special I will love it forever. You can understand how his style fits that music better than Cozy...in my opinion he was not nor will never be a better drummer than Cozy Powell though...
I think Ibenez is a under rated bass, all price ranges just started watching your channel, I think we have different music preferences but I am definitely a lot older then you, but I am no longer a professional bass player. I have 70's P and J and even a 66 Gibson EBO and Epiphone Thunderbird so you kind of know I am a hard rock guy, not hard core heavy metal, classic rock but do like other music. Sorry for the long comment I don't comment much, but I have a 15 year old Ibanez Sound Gear GSR 190 that I got from a friend just for a knock around, just grab and fool around and don't care if I hit something with it and I love the sound and playing it, I set it up did the fret ends that were not bad and the only money I put into was I changed the plastic nut to tusk and even threw some cheap rounds on it and that's it. Just shows you do not need to spend a lot of money on a bass or guitar, I also play guitar to have a playable instrument, but if you do play you really save money, you have to learn how to set it up on your own, the way you like it, anyway big fan of Always Sunny, nice touch, and as a 58 year old bass Player, I got some tips from you, again sorry for the long comment, thanks
I love Carmine´s drumming, no matter if it was for Rod Steward or Blue Murder, but it seems like he always feels the urge to put other drummers down. Has he ever said somethng positive about another drummer? It really sucks!
@@tonyvincent9753 there's also this thing called a "busy idiot". No-one denies his skills as a drummer I believe. But some things he says in interviews must raise a lot of eye-brows, at the very least.. See his reference to the Spinal Tap movie, how he ...."contributed in creating the Led Zeppelin drum sound".. Even his reference during this interview, how he was allegedly told that he has better fills than Cozy Powell.. Even if that were the case (I seriously doubt the amount of truth coming out of him).. You just don't go out and say something like that.
@Dimitri, I first saw Carmine play in 1970. In 1972, I begged my drum teacher (who was Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons drummer for 5 years) to put me through Carmine’s book “Realistic Rock”. I thought the guy was a drum God! I finally met Carmine in 1976, again in the 80’s, and multiple times in the 2000’s. Each time I met him, he dropped another notch on my “Quality Guy” list. The last time I saw him was at his book signing at the Irridium in NYC. His book turned out to be nothing more than an expose’ on how many women he fucked during his rockstar career. It’s an awful piece of shit. He has one of the most flawed personalities I’ve ever experienced. He bullds himself up by throwing fork balls at everyone around him, even the guys in the band that gave him his big break.
I still consider Blu Murder first album probably the best hard rock album of that period much better than Whitesnake 1987 for drums and mixing - it sounds warmer -
Would love to see them get it together again with John.
Tony Franklin is a great guy
Nice interview.
John it’s true, the world has changed in all areas including music.
You have your place, you are the best, all your fans are looking forward to your return. 🎸🎸❤❤🤘🤘🤘
Every rock fan I know in my circle of friends would die for a new Blue Murder album - get it done!
Everyone wants it except John Sykes.

Saw them in NYC and they were great. Tony Franklin even played clarinet - versatile band, great musicians.
Please John, give us a sign😊
Tony Franklin is amazing! Amazing talker!Kindred spirit...

Great Guys
The world needs a new Blue Murder record in "22.
So FUN! I am the last interview woo hoo!!!! Scott Page rules!~

This is a good interview. Funny how Carmine just happened to walk up right on time!
Carmine Appice and Nikki Sixx are going to be writing a book called my ego Diaries, they both make sure to talk about themselves
TONY, CARMINE, AND... JOHN, PLEASE, PLEASE, Y0U GUYS GOTTA COME BACKKKKKKKK🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great interview. Great dudes
Simply Two Monsters 🎵🎼🎶🎹🎤🎸😎👊
What a great interview!
Interviewer is very intelligent and aware of who he's interviewing.
Congrats!
Tony and Carmine are legends!
Well said brother
Love the firm!!! Thank you for the upload
BLUE MURDER, BLUE MURDER, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALMIGHTY, PLEASE COME BACKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great interview !!!
Great interview ... Respect
Blue Murder debut was even better than Whitesnake 1987
It was great but 1987 is flawless.
@@AnabolicFarmer I got to agree!
depends on what you want to hear .
@@abelincoln5698 Agreed, but I think 1987 has a few meh tracks and Blue Murder is more consistent. No track as epic as Still Of The Night though...
Correct!!
legends!
Sykes is a god
that japan gig on youtube is awesome.
The Big Boy! Bob's Big Boy! Oh.. and uh tony franklin. Hahaha! Lady's & Gentlemen TONY FRANKLIN!
A little plug for Bob's Big Boy! Yay!!
We went back to John's house and smoked some hash haha
This interview seemed very spontaneous but so great to hear the stories. Please keep us posted on Sykes and/or Blue Murder. And hopefully they can get Bob Rock involved!
Rock On!!!
Come on guys, get together and give the public, your public one last gig 👏
It was on loudwire John goes on tour with Tony and New drummer this year
I'm sure as hell Tony would have fitted in to the Lord of the Rings' films somewhere. He's such an upbeat and decent guy.
Legends
I bet Carmine Appice went there just so he could sign autographs for himself
it is weird Sykes didn't make it with that first bm record. Plenty great rock records in the 80s never sold though.
Big time!
Remember smoking that Hash Yeah!
Carmine might not be the most modest person out there,nor my favorite drummer by a long shot but that album is so special I will love it forever. You can understand how his style fits that music better than Cozy...in my opinion he was not nor will never be a better drummer than Cozy Powell though...
I'd say he's as good as any drummer alive and most who aren't
He doesn't seem modest on one hand, but on the other hand it sounds like his recollections are accurate.
Blue Murder was a missed opportunity
what a modest guy Carmine is , BA HA HA HA
Love these guys,Come on John put the bs aside and go sell out some shows brother
My girlfriend used to live near John's house and studio between Thornton Cleveleys and Fleetwood near Blackpool.
Please share her stories!! The world has not seen or known from Skykes in ages!!😫

The title says one thing,but the majority of the content is about Jimmy Page/Paul Rogers/Firm.
Cadillac the firm
Tbh, I liked Cozy more
@TH-cam Acct Carmine is not a nice guy at all.. agreed on that!
Tony obviously didn't. And that's coming from a Brit. Jon Lord et al, preferred Ian Paice in Whitesnake.
I love Carmine´s drumming, no matter if it was for Rod Steward or Blue Murder, but it seems like he always feels the urge to put other drummers down.
Has he ever said somethng positive about another drummer?
It really sucks!
Cozy was a legend
So Carmine is 16 year older than Tony, but Carmine looks younger.
It’s the really high quality wig
Going to say the exact same thing!
John Sykes always disappears. he is a recluse guy.
Just dropped a new album I believe
I don't know why, but I always have gotten Carmine and Vinny mixed up! Imo, they're both great players......and legends.
carmine blue murder vinny dio
@@blackpanterpower-fh5gn Thanx!
Love carmine
For crying out loud, Carmine. Can't you get a better wig than that? You're not fooling anyone with that thing.
Who cares........
kaweeah
That’s not a wig pal it’s a rug.
Blue
Carmine's never been a modest man about his drumming.
show some respect dude!!!!!
That's putting it mildly..
Carmine is always in motion, multiple projects going on simultaneously, constantly promoting the brand name. Did you see him look at his phone?

Same here folks but we are all gonna be dead before JS gets off his greedy ass.... GOD BLESS TONY & CARMINE 🙏🏼. you guys are the best
Carmine can't even spell modesty. Geez.
Foget john Sykes. Find a better vocalist
I still consider Blu Murder first album probably the best hard rock album of that period much better than Whitesnake 1987 for drums and mixing - it sounds warmer -
Sykes, the most unprolific guitarist of the past 30 years.
No, that would be me.
