One of my best buddies not only had the two-tone hair, but could play his riffs note for note while swinging it around his neck at critical moments like Yngwie.
If i am lying may God strike me dead. I'm still here... |
I quit
|
Whenever I limber up for playing I always include the intro to Mr. Scary
|
George Lynch ****ing owns.
|
I'm a fan. Never understood why he didn't get more run.......but ****ing matchbox 20 did. Jfc
Later in life of course. But still....back then shit bands get run and virtuosos like George didn't. Satch too |
I can't say that I find his playing very interesting! I guess it is just the style of the music!

great player

Yup. Great player. I used to jam with this guy when I was like 13 or so. He was a huge Lynch fan and we'd play Dokken tunes for hours. He could hit everything lick for lick. Pretty awesome.
|
He's okay.
Not Thurston Moore, but okay. |
Quote:
George, unfortunately, can't avoid the drama. Between Dokken and his own band Lynch Mob, which has seen more personnel changes than the Chiefs this past four years, he can't seem to get out of his own way. |
|
Quote:
He's usually much better. The new Lynch Mob EP is cool, although Robbie Crane already quit. LMAO |
I'm a fan of George, and "Mr. Scary" is his signature solo. That said, my top four are Satriani, Vai, Eric Johnson and Brian Carroll.

His meaningless wanking is better than most people's concerted efforts. |
liked Lynch Mob a lot.
as far as lead guitarist my fav is Michael Schenker. |
Quote:
Slash Mick Mars Vinnie Vincent Vitto Bratta nuno bettencourt Vai Vivian Campbell Steve Clark but my fav is probably Stevie Ray Vaughn who was born of that era, but pretty far removed from it obviously. |
Huge fan. Couldn't get enough Dokken back in the 80's. guy can rip for sure./

Quote:
|
Absolutely. Still listen to my "Lynch Mob" and "Wicked Sensation" CD's on a regular basis.
|
One of the best 80's metal guitarists, imo...
Warren DiMartini of Ratt |

I think the single most-interesting factoid about Lynch is that he once auditioned for Ozzy and in the process, it was discovered he couldn't read or write music. Lynch said he visualizes the fretboard in shapes (I believe Stevie Ray Vaughan once said he did the same thing).
In a decade where Lynch's contemporaries were all into advanced theory and studying at music institutes, he couldn't even read notes on a staff... |

They won't hesitate to tell you how great they really are, though. Kip Winger has a pretty big ego... |

We have yet circled back to guys that can actually play instruments anymore. |

You still dont know what I like or dont like... But carry on little man. |
"warrant and Jani Lane were just sooooper!!!!"
LMAO |

So they put on a good show, BFD? Doesnt make one a fan to appreciate their show. Is this all you got? Or can you bring something of substance to this conversation? |

Jerry Cantrell is freaking amazing. They were here in the OK casinos not to long ago. Great freaking show. Then again, you dont know what I like or dont like. You are just throwing shit out there acting like some jilted high school girl. but carry on. |
Well, when you make blatantly reeruned comments like "Musicianship died when grunge took the scene", one can make some pretty accurate assumptions about your knowledge and taste.
|
Quote:
And I also never said it was WHY he didn't get the Ozzy gig. Only that it became public knowledge after he auditioned for Ozzy. |
Quote:
How many hair bands have had the honor of being covered by Johnny ****ing Cash? :D |
Quote:
So now what? What do we assume from this? |

I once saw Lynch do a clinic here in Topeka about 10 years ago. The guy could hardly remember any solos from his Dokken days. And you could tell he was just wingin' it a lot. But he is good a noodling. Lynch was the main reason why I got into Dokken back in the 80s. He was my main guitar idol for a long time. I had all the Dokken records and the first 3 Lynch Mob ones as well (yes, even the one with rap). |
Quote:
In Ozzy (and this includes everyone from Randy to Gus), you're a paid sideman. That's it. Flat fee, whether it's studio time or touring. Musicians in Ozzy's band don't share in the record royalties. In each and every song, Ozzy is listed as co-writer although he doesn't write lyrics, melodies or music. If you wrote the music, you're not going to receive 50% but 10%. Lynch and Gillis decided to take their chances with their respective bands (Night Ranger & Dokken) and Sykes went on to write and record the Whitesnake 1987 album, although he was fired before the band toured or shot video. Rock musicians aren't expected to show up with a guitar and a chart for auditions. Never have, never will. Quote:
And once again, unless you're showing up on a soundstage for a session, it doesn't matter if can sight read or not, especially in rock. |

He's not a composer, he's not an engineer, he's not a producer and, well, I won't get it into. Suffice to say, Reb's fortunate he can play guitar because that's all he can do. Doug Aldrich, on the other hand, can do it all. |

Anyone watch That Metal Show on VH1 Classic? Lynch was the guest guitarist on the first 2 episodes this season.

I enjoyed Jake E Lees work with Ozzy and Badlands...

It was nice of Sharon Osbourne to send one of her lackies to fire him at the Rainbow one night. Class all the way. :rolleyes: It's too bad that Jake's a complete mess now. For a really brief period, he was a great guitarist and personality. |

I just mentioned seeing George on TMS... |

Because I'm a HUGE Dio fan and most people think I'm crazy when I say that "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" are my favorite Sabbath albums. I LIKE Sabbath with Ozzy but I LOVE Sabbath with Dio. And I don't really like much of Ozzy's solo stuff short of a couple of tunes with Randy ("Mr. Crowley"). |
Quote:
:D |

Quote:
The problem is that it's too orchestrated. Sharon is the Puppet Master and I still can't believe that raging **** hired Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin to re-cut all of "Diary" and "Blizzard" so that she wouldn't have to pay Daisley and Kerslake any further album royalties (The royalty thing I described before only applied after Ozzy & Sharon hooked up and Randy died). Quote:
My favorite Dio solo record, by a long shot, is "Killing The Dragon". Dio's voice sounds amazing and Doug Aldrich is the best guitarist and songwriting partner Dio had worked with. His playing and tone are phenomenal. Quote:

Quote:
His voice is what sells the lyrics, IMO. The imagery - rainbows, dragons, demons, wizards - it all comes through just that much more vividly because he has the ultimate voice for it. By the way, I don't know if you saw my post a couple weeks ago in another thread - I just got a vinyl picture disc of "Killing the Dragon" and it's freaking sweet. |
Quote:
I'm a HUGE Dio fan and was supposed to go to his public funeral a few years back but my daughter got sick while my wife was out of town, so I missed it. He was one of a kind and sorely missed. |

I thought this thread was about the former Laker player. Never heard of the guy in the op.

I had one chance to see him live and missed it due to extenuating circumstances. :( |

I love "Mob Rules" especially "Voodoo" and "Sign of the Southern Cross" but, front to back, "Heaven and Hell" might be my favorite album period, let alone Black Sabbath album. |
