Guitar Player George Lynch

is he doing ok? no new material this year. was worried he might not be doing well

 

He is on tour in Japan with Dokken so he is probably miserable.

 

i was just shocked. i think he's released at least 1 album a year for the past 10 years or so

 

in case no one got the joke. since 2003 lynch has released with various bands studio albums:
wicked under ground
revolution
smoke and mirrors
sun red sun
rebel
furious george
orchestral mayhem
kill all control
shadow train
let the truth be known
slave to the empire
kxm
only to rise


that's a heck of a lot of material in the last 13 years

 

I haven't really followed him since Wicked Sensation, but I love him and his older stuff to death. This is one of my favorites.

 

there is some good stuff out there on his newer releases

 

Agreed. Whenever he releases something new, there are always samples of the highlights and it is generally good. However, I typically don't find many of the releases in question consistently good, and therefore rarely acquire any of the albums.

 

I loved his work with Dokken and liked the first two Lynch Mob albums. I still listen to the Dokken stuff every now and then but I've mostly moved on from that style of music. I haven't bought anything new by him since his first solo album but still consider him as one of my top 2-3 favorite guitar players ever.

 

I never have listened to Lynch in Dokken. Never paid much attention to him, there are so many shredder-types out there. But I also hang around The Gear Page and everybody over there worships him. Someone posted the following clip in a thread:


And then I saw the light. He is super, super talented. Top of the food chain.

 

Easily in my Top 10 favorite guitarists of all time.

 

I sold him a crummy guitar when i was living in LA in the early '80s!!!!

 

ever recognize it on album album cover or anything?

 

nah, tt was a Univox Les Paul Jr. copy that actually sounded really good, and if i remember thru the haze of time, he heard either myself or someone else playing it thru the walls of a rehearsal room and liked the sound.....and heck, i need the dough!!!!! I didn't know who he was at the time anyway....

 

You win the Internet.

 

I read last year that he had another band project underway called The Infidels and that they had an album ready to go....but then never heard anything else. I assume the project will come out eventually (?).

But tan

 

thanks I remember reading that and forgot. also another KXM album was talked about too. that just means next year we'll see 2 lynch releases and probably the same in 2018

 

His drummer Jimmy D'Andas dad lives in my apt building. he also played in the bullet boys

 

Love this track when I discovered it a few years back. Brilliant.

 

I highly recommend the two CD set he released last year called Shadow Train.



Just to add to the prior list:
2012 George Lynch Legacy EP
2012 Lynch Mob Sound Mountain Sessions EP
2016 Lynch Mob Rebel

Some of these side project collaborations can be mediocre, but his own led projects like Souls of We, Shadow Train and Lynch Mob are usually strong.

Had the chance to do the VIP meet and greet during Smoke and Mirrors and had a kick hanging out with everyone.

 

I listed rebel. the other 3 I didn't because I was listing full length albums are those are EPs plus my version of sun red sun has sound mountain sessions added to the end

 

Missed you listing of Rebel and forgot they added the Sound Mountain Sessions to Red Sun Red. I didn't care for SRS since I had SMS already. I may have to revisit his cover of Burnin' Sky which was the highlight for me.

Come to think of it there was also the side project T&N (Tooth and Nail). Half Dokken remakes with Pilson and half new material. I think he has a second followup already in the can, but hasn't been released yet. Wonder why.
