Mr. Scary in the Desert - the GEORGE LYNCH THREAD

[SunisinuS]

I still like Marq. He had to live in his car for awhile after Bullet Boys but never gave up, and in fact found new inspiration to keep going.




George on the GR tour was one of the most realistic (about himself and his talents) commentators than almost any guitarist I have seen when giving an interview; very humble guy there. Least for that part I will bump his rep....along with one of the signature vibrato's in the biz.

Interesting from the description at least...I'd like to hear my amp through a cab with a set of 'em...

May 23, 1991 - Raymond Theater in Pasadena, CA......ABC set up shop to videotape some bands to show on ABC's In Concert '91. The lineup had some chick who I think was Bret Michael's girlfriend at the time....forgettable corporate pop/rock mung, Firehouse (with their squealy oo-baby rock), Little Ceasar, who looked touch but had their share of limp-wristed corporate radio-friendly songs, Roxette, British pop band who was making their US TV debut, and the headliner was Lynch Mob. It was Oni Logan's last gig with them before he left, and he FUCKING SUCKED.

Sounded to me like massive coke-choking on his part. He coulda just had a cold or something, but christ he was bad. Every band on the bill did only 3-4 songs, including Lynch Mob.

Anyway, I taped the In Concert episode when it came on a month later. And just last week I got the VHS tape out to transfer it to DVD. Problem is, the tape was fucked up at one point....all my VHS tapes have been in boxes in my storage shed for the past 8 years, and many of them have mold on the tape itself, so I am in a race to transfer most of them to DVD before they are completely shot.

Watching it reminded me of Oni Logan's performance. And one of the songs has a pretty bad guitar solo by Lynch, with some painful screeching in it. It is not something he would ever want to re-release.

So anyway, that evening in Pasadena I brought in a stereo walkman and a couple of lapel mics. I only taped Firehouse, Little Ceasar and Lynch Mob.

I just now pressed "play", and am transferring the Lynch Mob set to my hard drive as I type this. They performed 4 songs - She's So Evil, River Of Love, Wicked Sensation, and All I Want.

The TV broadcast left out She's So Evil, and the song order was changed (Wicked Sensation, River Of Love, All I want).

This recording turned out pretty good. I am going to remaster this stuff before I burn to CD. Might post in the bootleg section one of these days.

[jhale667]

Too late...

[Seshmeister]

I don't recognize his patterns as he plays.

I think that will be my guitar project later in the year to try and learn the some of the scales/positions he uses because it sounds great.

Seems as though he's a fan of exotic scales...dude plays like he's from another planet.

Those guitars look like shit...

[ELVIS]
