GUITAR GOD. GEORGE LYNCH 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@stephengiffith1010]

Yes George to me is trueley a frickin underated master but by people that can't see open your eyes. He is one of the greatist guitar players WHO walked in la. Heay George remember Arizona after she took all your prideful toys your still the KING

@@stephengiffith1010 to think Randy, George, and Eddie all resided in LA at the same time and knew one another, probably forcing each of them to stay on top of their games. What a trio of guitar geniuses, in the golden age of metal guitar no less

[@rodjohnson3045]

@@stephengiffith1010 I think he's as good as any top player, I just don't care much for that style of playing in general, and I don't like Dokken very much. I don't think they suck, I just don't like them. To me they are boring, and nothing about their music excites me.

[@Top40Music]

Lynches note selections when he’s playing lead is un comparable. I’m so glad he created that sound.

[@santinaranjo]

George is still the same beast I shaw at Madrid on 1987, Dokken will be forever one of my favorite bands. Laura & Tony, thank you for this video, allowing the people from the other side of the Atlantic to enjoy old glories like this,

[@wataershed]

Jeff Pilson needs to be on this.It's not a true Dokken reunion without him

[@scottdunn2178]

Jeff is making too much coin with Foreigner... especially now that concert tours are starting up again. I think Jeff might do a one-off show here or there with Dokken... but not a full-on reunion tour. Mick Brown has retired too...

[@averygrimreaper6321]

I am a huge Dokken fan and have been since 1984, I seen a few comments regarding Jon Levin who is a great guitarist, but remember one thing, Who wrote all the extremely talented guitar work for Dokken...George did.. it's easy for guitarists that have great talent to immulate someone like George! Jon Levin is a great guitarist, but Mr.Scary is a guitar God!

[@TheCookrsm]

I'm a huge Dokken fan also - just saw them 2 weeks ago and have to say Levin kicks ass.

[@johnnymoraes23]

It's very different to emulate and to create. To create something unique and make success with it, is many many steps up from people who emulate only. It's needed vision and much study and developing for that. There's a video here in You Tube, in which he explains how he developed his own unique style of playing. He would get some of that well-known old blues and rock licks, and would take it elsewhere by finding uncommon resting notes for his phrases. Also, play and change some common shapes until he could find something which was unique and his own with it. By doing that, he was able to create his own language of soloing on the guitar. He also crafted his own compositional chops, by drinking on the Judas Priest language, but taking it elsewhere.. and there are some chord progression arrangements which are very Lynch-like too. So yes, it takes a lot of smartness and intelligence, to shape your own style. Not anyone can do that, but the reward for getting there can be the highest.

[@chrisw5742]

@@johnnymoraes23 lynch imitates also. He didn't invent the guitar.

[@stephensanchez9590]

The great thing about Jon Levin watching him on stage the first time George lynch come out to play the first reunion show you can tell Jon Levin is a George lynch fan and was excited about that show when he got to introduce George and tell him he is a huge fan that was cool I give Jon a lot of praise because he is a great player himself

[@rickythegun1]

Lynch is playing some of his best stuff I've seen in years. Jon Levin, who plays with Dokken now is also a beast. I'm glad Don still gets out there and rocks. Yes, his voice is not what it once was was but, he is a huge talent. Melodies, guitar, production, song writing and singing ( when he was at his best he was as good as there was)

I live 45 minutes from this venue, but had to work- and I have been a huge fan since around '85. So it goes.

[@scottboutin4781]

George looks like he's really getting into this. He's really digging in. LOVE IT!!! I've seen other shows they've done like a year or two ago, and he just stood there, kinda foning it in. And you could tell he just wanted to choke Don. He was still killing it, he's a monster. But you could actually feel the animosity thru the screen. Here, he seems happy and into the moment. That's awesome. Even when Don comes over and tries that horribly miss calculated nonsense interlude on his guitar, George just hangs in there. What a guy! Lol. So maybe George has decided he wants to get out there and tour and enjoy the spot light like he so dearly deserves. Maybe he's a lil tired of watching all the other 80s bands out there making money on the circuit, while his awesome talent gets ignored. Go George!!!

[@Game-The-System]

Holy shit!!! I never thought I would see Don and George at the same stadium together let alone on the SAME STAGE! I spoke with Don backstage in the mid-90s after a show at Mabel's in Champaign, IL. It was a shitty little bar/club and it was for their Dysfunctional "tour," as I recall. The band played great and Don sounded fantastic. I was a bit sad to see them play this show to maybe 300-400 people, when they had previously rocked thousands at stadiums at the height of their popularity. Anyway... Don and I chatted for a minute while he signed my CD and for whatever reason George's name came up. I said that things would work out and that he'd come back to the band. At this point, I don't even know if Lynch Mob was still around. They had maybe one decent song in the late 80s or early 90s...I don't even remember any of their songs...which I probably why I said that. Don was adamant about it though. He said "No way, I'm done with George. We're done." You never know what happens behind closed doors, but they were and will always be more successful together and there is no denying that!

[@williamlayng9725]

[@4dmind]

Alan Smithee Definitely. I've got into fitness a couple years ago - great to see an example like that to show you that it is worth it. self-pity is poison and Lynch is a shining example of what self-reliance and honesty bring. And he's still in the zone musically - I'd say even more - the KXM albums are sick.

I am from the early 2000 and I love 80's rock for my whole time going up. Something about the sound and tone of the music makes me love it so much. George Lynch/Dokken, Motley Crue, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, and so much more make me want to learn their song for this reason. I hate my generations music. It garbage lets be honest. I like to grow up think im in the 80's. I probably would've loved that time. I will always be Rokken with Dokken!

[@MagnumMike44]

A short set but hey, it's great to see George Lynch with his fiery lead style, just as it was back in the 1980s, I'd say he is the star of the show. Don Dokken may not have the same energy his vocals had in the 1980s but you gotta respect the guy for trying, even after his bout with cancer, and "Wild" Mick Brown can still pound those drums. The bassist doesn't look like Jeff Pilson, but he's rocks also. I'm sure there are a lot of younger people in the audience, some of whom were probably still in diapers or weren't even born at the height of Dokken's popularity in the mid 1980s. :-)
