So, I met John 5 last night

[Romeo Delight]

I refuse to watch that....

In fact, one of my oldest son's past girlfriends worked at the Cabo Wabo on the Vegas Strip, I refused to stop in and say hello.....

He didn't marry her, anyway....

Couldn't have had anything to do with your psychotic behavior. Still, well done.

This could be a good backing band for Dave solo...

Lynch would be a one trick pony if he only had a trick...

I mean, besides the squeaky squealy noises, what's one redeeming aspect of of his playing ??

[Seshmeister]

It's not alone in his bedroom?

George lynch is more overrateted than satriani

[Seshmeister]

Meh.

Rock guitar playing is incredibly subjective.

I can't think of a guitarist I couldn't formulate a critique against but that doesn't mean shit.

BB King can't play rhythm? Eddie Van Halen is picking from a bag of familiar tropes? Yngwie becomes tedious? Jake E Lee has a shitty tone?

George Lynch has his thing whereby you know it's him within in few bars which is unique in itself and I don't think he is overrated. He's hardly a go to guy when someone is trying to name best guitarist ever. Also the last thing I've heard him play on the KXM album last year is I think a bit of a departure.

I get where you are coming from in that as you get older gigging and so on the stuff I admire is being able to just turn up and do anything. The guys that can improvise any style from metal to bluegrass or just bending a few notes perfectly onstage when you can't hear yourself and you don't know the song that well.

I'm not sure how good Lynch is at that but as these people get older and I meet more of them I do notice that just the sheer amount of time that they have been doing it now means there is now a gap between the bar band people like me and them in terms of consistency and professionalism.

I like George for his rhythm playing. His solos all might as well be the same. To me, a guitarist is only as good as their riffs. The more creative and identifiable they are, the better, of course. He does have a certain way about him, where by he gets a Mr. Scary vibe to show up often. That's not a bad thing, but that wouldn't gel with Dave, especially now.

I think John 5 could be the freshest, most unique voice in rock guitar at this time

I agree with this. I admit to seeing the Monsters of Rock with Scorps, Metallica, Dokken. Lynch in my mind was the second best guitarist that day for this very reason...his rhythm playing and tone was so very good.

He really does seem to be carrying the torch. He knows and respects the roots of hard rock..

You can see some of DLR's unreleased song titles listed on the ASCAP website. One of the guys at the VH Links did a search. There's well over 10 songs listed there co-written with John 5, and a couple with Bob Marlette.

Here's a screenshot of one of the pages.
