Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!
Umm, Jeff is right in that EVH used to turn his back to the crowd. In fact, GL's band, The Boyz, opened up for VH that got VH signed. It was supposed to be the big gig for The Boyz but they got upstaged by VH. Dokken wasn't even around yet. GL even admitted that he hadn't seen anything like it.PreacherNeverSaved said:

I think that at one point or another, all guitarists sound the same. Perhaps the type of rhythem, mood, solo/tapping technique, tone and even lyrics. At one point, everyone runs into each other. Yes, George Lynch's soloing style is sometimes comprised of patterns/memorized techniques that don't fit together. But I think that he is more of a realistic guitarist. No one will ever improve a 100% beautiful sounding solo on the spot. Perhaps some parts of a solo will be beautiful, but no one will ever improve a perfect solo, especially US. I love Satriani, Vai, Petrucci and Johnson. Hell, I worship Satch, I have one of his guitars and all of his CDs. But George is one of the common guys to me, in terms of soloing. I also think his rhythem playing stands out from many guitarists. Remember, all guitarists are different. They all have their own personalities as well as techniques. Where am I going with this, Lynch is not a bad or over rated player to me. I don't think any guitarist is bad. We're all different and have different experiences and level of playing.

There are two Solo's that I have listened to that were remade from the original bands. I listened to Purple Haze and Voodoo Child, and liked Lynch's version better. There is a Japanese radio show that is out there with a live performance till December. Check it out and be amazed.

Re: The GEORGE LYNCH is the baddest mutha around thread!
I enjoyed Lynch's playing but I didn't like the never ending soloing. I would have liked it if the vocals and rhthem were emphasized more with more consistant/repeating melodies and then perhaps two insanse improved solos. None the less, great playing. I thought he said he didn't use effects? He was definitely using a Wah. Anyone know what kind of amp he was playing through?

George's playing is wonderful. The thing that does it for me, is that it sounds like he is dancing on the edge... always kindda pushing the solos to the limit and when you think he's got to a dead end, he pulls up a secret passage to get through... most of the time. His tone is perfect. And though you can truly enjoy Dokken's first run... give Dysfunctional a listen... waaaaay cool. Another thing is that it does sound to me at times that he is not the most educated musician and oddly enough, this is exactly what I like to hear on his music: the adrenaline. Lynch RULES.

I can see that it is a Marshal. I know he is known for using a JCM800. But if it is it probably has a modded preamp stage. I read an article about the rented #39 amp that him and Satch had rented. Later he hunted down the tech and asked him if he could have his amp modded, and the guy modded his preamp stage on a few of his amps. There was a ton of gain, and I have heard people say that they can't get their amp to sound like his and they have a JCM800. I heard about the reissue one and its preamp stage is weaker than the JCM800. The Plexi have a good gain stage though, but it is made for the Nu Metal sound. I could definitly hear the EL34 tube sound though. The 6L6 sound more like Metallica's tone.

Lynch and Jake E lee have both mentioned that the best Marshall either one of them used is an old Purple 100 watt head that Warren DiMartini owns.

Held off on this one for about 2 weeks now Lester.
I agree. I have 3 of Dokken's DVD's and have seen them 4 times.
Still my favorite.
The Duncan Distortion is one of my favs also.
