The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

He sat in at the original G3 tour show in Phoenix(he lives in Scottsdale) and it was pretty much the same. They were doing the usualy blues and classic rock tunes and he'd just sorta wank endlessly over the wrong chords on it. Kinda lame, IMO, but ya know, whatever! He shreds on his own stuff, fo sho!

I'll listen to the guy! That would be a major score. He was the one of the few "hair band" guitarists that had some original substance, IMO. When VH1 showed their "Top 40 Hair Bands"...I had music from only 3 of the bands listed: G'n'Rs, Motley, and Dokken (Thankyou, Black Sabbath for carrying me through the "lean years of that era!).

I was a big Lynch fan, and as Don Dokken mentioned in their portion of "The Top 40 H/B's", there did seem to be more there than the broad term "hair band".

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

After the UGD he sat in with a local Santa Barbara band at a club downtown. Brisk, Cathy Duncan and I watched in amazement when he played "Aint Talkin Bout Love" and a couple of Dokken tunes.. Brisk recognized them, I didn't anyway, it was amazing. Jeremy and Jolly were there too.

He seems like a nice guy and he really ripped at the UGD. He played through my amp but his setup was making all kinds of noise. He had this special straplock that was messed up too Jeremy had to help him out. He and Gearjonser warmed up together so they were kinda jamming together.. hehe, Gearjonser is no slouch on the guitar either. Lynch Jammed with Robb/Gomano and some other Duncan folks later on.

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

True true true!
Lynch rocks!
He had a very influencial part in my playing, I always wanted to copy his solos when I was in 8th grade and first picked up the guitar.
I hated his zebra hair do, but hey he lost it after a while. . .

Quick and high pitched. . . . ah man they don't write like that anymore. . . . everyone wants to sound like Korn . . . . stupid dropped toned knuckleheads need to get out an old dokken album and listen to the roots man . . . .

I once read an article where he "the great one" said he didn't like to solo, he just wanted to get in and out of the solo as fast as he could. . . . what a riot, he solos with the best of them. . . .
I LOVE GEORGE ! ! ! !

He's still no Randy Rhoads . . . . :blackeye:

sorry for that. . . .

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

I listened to the UGD clip and ya know, I don't think he played one chord. All he did was wank all over the place. He's definitely got the chops but c'mon, play with others a little better than that....please.

Listening to BFTA this morning. Man I love the tone. Just a tad more low-end and it'd be just about right. Makes me want a Distortion for my homemade now but since I'm going to lower output pickups, I might consider the Screamin' Demon.

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

goerge is a bad player,but in my eye's,most eightys and some ninetys players (shredders to me)are E.V.H.KNOCKOFFS.DONT GET ME WRONG,ALL THESE PLAYERS WOULD TEAR my ass of at guitar.in my eyes nobody,even now,nobody has done to the guitar world as much as he has.he might not be the fastes shredder, or have a really knock you on your ass tone(that would have gone to dimebag,r.i.p.)but i consider him,after hendrix,the creater of modern guitar styles.i know alot of you will probably disagree with me,but this is just one guitar players opinion.have at it people.

?????????

EVH had a much greater impact on modern styles than GL did, by a longshot. GL is a great player and love what he's done, I just don't put him on that high a plateau.

No doubt, I've been jonesing for a black and white serpent for years. Seen a couple on the EBay, just haven't been in a position to pick one up.

Yep, there's no arguing that he's near the top of the "coolest looking guitars" list.

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

Alright guys, give me some must listen to cuts from Mr. Lynch so I can see what I'm missing....

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

For my tastes, George is best on

Back for the attack Dokken
Beast from the East Dokken
Wicked Sensation Lynch Mob

Wicked Sensation was one of my favs for a while back in the day. Great songwriting/playing & Oni Logan was ripping it up on vocals.

I made the mistake of picking up the Dokken DVD live from the sun. Reb Beach is an absolute monster. I've seen the Dokken live in Japan DVD when they reunited in the mid to late 90's. George was probably regretting being on the the same stage as Don, But I've heard alot of George's bootlegs and a similar vain runs through his live playing. George is inconsistant and pretty hard to watch/listen too for extended periods. A few moments of brilliance but overall it's just a disjointed series of canned licks.

Players like Beach, EVH (back in the day) & Al Piterlli are the guys I'd prefer to watch live.

I disagree. Lynch is the man, and he has his own style. Not only solos, but to me his rythm playing is distinct. There is a lot of truth that EVH ushered in the shred style, but EVH and Mr Scary are very differnt players to my (ringing) ears.

(That's no slam to Edward, whom I regard as the perhaps greatest guitarist who ever lived...or maybe Hendrix...ask me again tomorrow)

For the uninitiated, pick up 'Tooth and Nail', there's some incredible work there.

I think GL gets looked down upon because the style of music he loves and plays is currently out of fashion. Fine by me, Rock and Roll is about doing your thing no matter what people say.

I never take much stock in what people say about players when they met them. I hear lots of stories about players that are unflattering, and I'm sure lots of 'em are true, but I'm not in their band, I'm not their nieghbor, and we aren't in the same carpool. At the end of the day it's what they do on the CD and the stage that's important to me.

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!

Well, I filled my ears full of Back for the Attack on the way to, while at, and on the way home from work today....lol. Then I picked up my Strat with Little '59 in the bridge and started playing some stuff off that album, Cry of the Gypsy, Night by Night. I'll be damned if that Little '59 gets a good Lynch rhythm tone. It was through my Crate GX-15, bass in full, mids at 4, treble at 8, gain on full. Pretty crunchy and cutting just like the album. I knew there was a reason why I kept that pickup, now I know what it was....lol.
