Holy Krap! The Bass Player In New Project With George Lynch, Tommy Aldridge!?!?!?
Originally posted by DavidFlamma I saw George Lynch live with Dokken at the Kingdome in Seattle.
Unbelievable sound. Blew me away with his tone!
Dokken - gotta love that band....pure raw metal, melodic, sharp, Lynch's got great hooks - you can tell he took a lot from Eddie, but in his own way....Don's got a great raw voice - kinda like the Rod Stewart of Metal.....underrated band....not anywhere near what they shoulda been...check out 'Under Lock And Key'......pure shred.....
Got to say that as much as idolise Eddie (he made me want to learn to play guitar as soon as I heard him and re-invented the world of guitar) George 'Mr.Scary' Lynch kicks seven shades of crap out of Ed these days.
It's as though Ed just can't be arsed any more. More power to Mike if he joins George. The only way to get Eddie motivated again is to get Dave back in the band. He would have to compete with DLR for top billing therefore making for some interesting shows.
I saw George 2wice...once when Dokken opneed for Priest in June of 1986, and then 5 years later...when ABC's "In Concert '91" taped at an old theater in Pasadena....Lunch Mob was the headliner...they also had Little Ceasar there, and Roxette's first U.S. performance.
I taped the entire show....
Let's see...wasn't the singer Oni Logan? I think it was his last show with them...and good riddance..he sucked ass...
Originally posted by bueno bob Oh God, anything but that. Mike's an OK backup singer, but his register sucks for lead.
My opinion.
Agreed, but if it came down to Mikey bringing Hagar in to sing, would just as soon have Mike give lead vocals a shot, just for sheer novelty value of nothing else...since Hagar on vocals isn't even remotely funny.
Mike can simply work as a session man. Who forbids him to?
Face it, Van Halen is done. Eddie is drinking himself and he'll never get sober or pull his head out of the bottle.
He's nearing his fucking fifties, people. People that old don't change with no God sent miracles...
He's done, he'll die as a fucking boozehound, not even the shadow of his formerself.
Mike, or Dave, or Spammy, or whoever involved with VH, has any right to go on with his life, while Eddie throws his into "Smoking Loon" and other assorted bottles of booze.

Mike can sing and he's got a good voice. Don't forget that you have never heard him singing in the studio, but just live. If we had to judge a singer off of live performances, we all know Dave's live performances aren't exactly his best and that he's screwed up often; should we go and say that Dave is a lousy singer? I doubt so.
Originally posted by BrownSound1 I actually want to hear the results of this group...if it materializes. Be interesting to see what kind of bass playing Mikey does on a non-VH venture.
i'm with you on this BrownSound1, maybe we'll actually see what Mikey's capable of at last.
