Unfortunately George does not know how to play just one or two notes. Add a few zeroes

Screamin' Demon was probably the pickup I disliked the most outside of junk OEM pickups.
Even GL left it behind.

You know, I have tripped across a few Lynch stylings in my note choice. And co-guitarist gets some amazing Lynch with a Stock Ibby and a Blackstar.
But yes - still the baddest!
This is a classic thread....should be required reading.

I still think KXM is one of the very best hard rock albums of the 2010's. I spent about a year with it in my truck's CD
player, and really soaked it in.
Dug Pinnick and Ray Luzier are a couple of the only musicians Lynch ever played with who are truly on his level, and the lyrics, vocals, bass, and drums made for a real super group.
If you don't own the CD, buy it, or at least listen to every KXM track on youtube. It's a fantastic record and my favorite Lynch CD.
I just discovered KXM did a 2017 CD, and am stoked to see this!

George is by far the best hold over from the 80's guitar monster days. Most modern groups are all about speed and how fast you can scale up and down the neck. George still blends diverse melodies, squeels, etc. in his solos and you just don't hear that much today.

Yea + most cant do it with any Character / Dynamics in the same amount of time george does it ~ he's real fast
btw - George isn't a holdover - he has lived and breathed guitar every day since we were teenagers

Definitely not full of himself. On the contrary, I've got the impression that he can be rather insecure in his own playing, or at least he was back in the day. That probably spurred him on to get even better, but it was also part of the psychological mix that has given him a reputation for being moody – and I have heard a number of stories concerning that.
I actually suspect there exists one very prominent attestation to his insecurity, viz., the Hear n' Aid video:
I can see where George is playing, but I can't hear it. For a guitarist with such a recognisable style, that is a sign that something is amiss. I wonder if he was simply astounded by the level of the guitarists that were in there, and decided to play as fast as he could to compete, losing his trademark sound in the process. That is the best explanation I have, at least.
