Well,I wasn't gonna comment,but since I see other people feel the same way.....Vai IS great,no doubt,but he fucked the solo up big time.The John Sykes original has a bluesy feel mixed with his wonderful shredding that can't and should not EVER be replaced.Steve is better off being a solo artist than trying to emulate other players.Other players are better at emulation.Check out "guitaristfromnorth" here on youtube for his rendition of Crying in the rain.MUCH better than this.

Yep, Sykes recorded but no tour.
-
I saw this show in 1990 in the Galgenwaard Stadium Utrecht in the Netherlands, one of the best hardrock shows i ever saw....
-
Sorry mr.Vai you ruin that song with your solo ! ! ! Whitesnake is not the right place for you !
-
Didnt Vandenberg or Vivian Campbell play the solo on the 87 tour? Thought Sykes got the boot after the album was recorded.
-
Who sings ?
-
What the fuck are you doing with that solo Steve??? WTF!!
-
the 85 rio version pisses all over this.... I know Vai is a wizard and Vandenberg is good but sometimes the whole is better than the sum of it's parts..
-
well said

@trento777 Doug Aldrich came pretty close, IMO =D

the solo is not as good as john sykes version - less melodic

Vai is fine but he lacks the fury and balls that Sykes has.THe problem is when Vai tries to emulate other players - It's always that whammy bar bulshit and those cheap legatos, c'mon. Same thing when he played in Alcatrazz and had to play Malmsteen solos. Instead of fast alternate picking he cheated with tapping and legatos.
