POV

Terms such as "acclaimed", "most successful", "striking statement", etc. must be sourced. They are subjective terms with no objective substance. -- Cain Mosni 11:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there's no mention of Sykes getting HOE'D by Coverdale. Super oversight.

What?!

With Whitesnake

John Sykes did not participate in Slide it in album, came to Whitesnake in place of Micky Moody. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.48.224.184 (talk) 22:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While he did not participate in the original UK recording, he re-recorded several parts for the US release. [IP didn't sign post]

Incorrect! Geffen records did not accept the album as mixed in the UK - they demanded a re-mix and Sykes overdubbing some guitar parts to give it a more 'modernized American' sound. The UK and US mixes and solos are different and the running order and song selections are different. 50.111.48.57 (talk) 03:27, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
