Sykes was known for his distinctive playing style, characterized by his fast alternate picking, use of pinch harmonics, and sense of melody. In 2004, he was included on Guitar World's list of "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time". In 2006, Gibson released a limited line of John Sykes Signature Les Pauls, which were modelled after his 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom. 8)
Mr. Sykes joins fellow TL members Phil Lynott (died at 36 from pneumonia brought on by severe heroin usage) and Gary Moore (died at 58 from a heart attack brought on by a severe alcohol binge) on that big sound stage in the sky. :-\\
