Yep. He's my favourite - Just blows my mind, but look at how many people he's played with. It's usually one or two albums and then he's off doing something else. I can't imagine it's easy to be in a band with the bloke. Don's probably difficult too so those two will always be at each other, but he did say something recently to the effect that George "is always looking for something and still hasn't found it". Wondering if there's some truth in that. Damn, though - His playing is incredible.

George admitted that he couldn't figure out what Randy Rhodes was doing on the guitar, when he was trying to prepare for an audition for ozzy, after Randy had passed away.

[@justinysmith8194]

It's probably all a moot point this far down the line, but in George's circle, there are all kinds of burnt corpses around him he once literally called his brothers. Oni Logan, Don Dokken, He says he and Mick Brown are no longer friends (to which Mick would later respond, claiming he has no idea what George is talking about??) Anthony Esposito, Sean McNabb and of course Tom Werman among others. I absolutely love listening to George play and always have, but by my reckoning, without someone around him with a steady hand on the rudder, he tends to be a bit dismissive and self destructive. Only a lifetime fan here with an outsiders perspective mind you. 💔 😢

That isn’t true at all. Producers literally are hired to CRITIQUE THE MUSIC, or is 50% of their job, to say what is a take what sounds good and what doesn’t. Lynch was always doing coke and was probably paranoid and raging. Only armatures see their music as deeply personal. A musician wants to communicate .

George always ALWAYS had this competitive jealous thing with guitar players. Especially with Randy Rhoads. I met George and asked him about Randy. George just smiled at me and wouldn't say anything else like I shouldn't have asked him. He had no remorse when Randy died, and always said mean things about him. I talked once to the guy that was actually taking lessons off George at Musonia when they broke in the room and said Randy just was killed. The student told me and Kelle Rhoads was there too, that George just laughed and said now maybe he can get his chance. So what, if in fact George's claim he showed him the tapping type lick Randy used on flying high. He should be proud Randy used it. It's no different than everyone borrowing a Hendrix lick or Chuck Berry lick in famous guitar solo. In the Randy Rhoads documentary being made, he was the only one that wanted paid for it saying something about Randy. He was always Jealous of Randy and also Ed.. Georges style was more like Ed than Randy in the beginning anyways.

[@samfischer9422]

What a colossal set of lies this comment is. Just plain bull shit all the way around. I’ve also talked to Kelle about their relationship. Randy thought George was better than EVH. He respected George. Why did he pick him to take his place at Musiconia. George thinks highly of Randy.

I like some of George's playing. And as another person said, When I feel like Dokken I go to Tooth and Nail. I like their 1st LP too. Anyway, I saw Dokken in 88 on the Monsters of Rock tour in Wisc. One of the 1st if not the 1st of those shows and it was great. But during Dokken, the weirdest, spiraling sound kept coming out, like a malfunction from George's amps during his solo bits, whatever. Maybe somebody was really pissed, van Halen? Someone for a remark he made. It was obvious to me that someone sabotaged his gear. Next up? Scorpions! They blew everyone away. No technical problems before or after. And sadly. I really wanted to hear George at his best but this thing, man, screwed up their gig.

George has played with a TON of other musicians after Dokken and made lots of great music. I don't recall ANY of those dozens of bands/musicians that say anything bad about George (let alone calling him a malicious prick). Other than Don (who hates everybody and everything) not sure who you are talking about. And Werman is clearly pissed, but it is fairly common for musicians and producers to argue when making records....especially when you got a guy who is super talented and wants to shred and you have Don, who wants to be "the lead guy" and Werman who was, as he said, a folk guitar player. If they had their way and got George out of the Band during Tooth and Nail, Dokken would have folded.

Wow at 100% agree with you on that. Seems like George just tries to put other people's down when things don't go his way. And I love Tom. He seems like a great person. And a great producer. And he didn't need to put down Tucker Carl's on either just to make himself look good. That was also uncalled for.

[@JokersWild70]

​@@HeavyMetal-HardRockLmao. Have you not seen Don's recent comments? 😂

[@douglaslane2570]

It’s ok in life if you are put down. Sometimes it’s necessary and everyone needs to grow up and stop being such fragile pussy. Too many people are emotionally unstable with criticism. I can hear it in Tom’s voice. He’s a mopey whiner.

[@mattstickle2725]

Classic case of has beens grasping for any kind of glory they once had.

[@todd2683]

Kudos to Tom. Rock stars are erratic.

[@davidellis5141]

Tom did an awesome 👌 job on the early Cheap Trick albums.

[@jamesconnolly1201]

No He Didn't...... I don't care about Hair Bands,or Wannabe Metal. He Sucked.......

[@lanceraustin]

I feel like, in some past Werman interviews, he comes across as shallow, lurid, gossipy. But here, I find him quite dignified. My only complaint: You didn't get to follow up on Don's claim of Workman staying up all night "Mixing, and... doin' shit..." We need those details! Haha

[@stubkar]

I wonder who Werman votes for.

[@enternamehere9366]

Swalwell

[@OriginalWhiteDevil]

He voted for a potato named Joe Briben.

[@jond63]

Werman, the Jan 6th comparison? Totally unnecessary and dumb. Unnecessary because this is music, leave out the politics (you here that Bono?) and dumb because Tom is wrong. To quote Werman “everybody makes stuff up nowadays”. Yes, like you just did with Tucker Carlson. I love his past work but I’m glad he’s out of the business

[@commonsense7407]

As soon as I heard him say that about tucker I quit listening and said to myself, oh he's a brain dead lying liberal.

[@F.S.111]

I quit listening after the idiotic Jan 6th comparison.

[@adamphillips6747]

Sounds like he is trying to get work.

[@MrOctober44]

Ironically he did a interview with Ted Nugent about the albums he worked with Nugent on. Before the interview starts, the interviewer said that Werman would only do the interview if Ted didn't speak about politics at all

[@user-ce9fz2vh1j]

He's my favorite the mutted guitar thing before he let's it rip was awesome.

[@Ohionortheast]

Dokken we’re a good opener but never was that impressed

[@DrTomoculus]

It's alright I've never thought much of Geoff Workman anyway. Not an engineer whose work I like. Clipping. Distortion. Boxy.

[@ivanwesley8182]

If guys don’t click it’s not just one guy’s fault

[@Acemechanicalservices]

“You can’t just make things up” right after he made something up about Tucker

[@ryaneverett8375]

Devious, duplicitous, baaad 😆

[@invasionofyourprivacyl.a5445]

Its just George man... its just him

[@patrickkish6662]

Hard rock shoot interviews

[@scottwhite2757]

Interesting..

[@timothymartin2137]

I have seen George's interviews and Pilsons too..THEY ARE TOOLS (Pilson singlehandedly saved Foreigner you know)

[@user-ce9fz2vh1j]

Man dealing with don and gearge was a job in it self.

[@rickdack1197]

Tucker Carlson edited nothing concerning Jan 6. Listen to it for yourself online.

[@bobravenscraft5376]

I should have been a psyche Major insecure always Never getting recognized and passed over thats George But isnt that the cutthroat Nature of Rock

[@steventhompson8602]

All I know about Tom is, he produced a lot of great records I have in my collection and they are all time favorites.

[@thefrogking481]

Im pretty sure Tucker has no idea who this guy is and wouldnt take the time to rebuke his bullshit.

[@rbruggeman7722]

Tom has Jan 6th backwards. It was the evidence destroying cover up committee that cut up and added sound to Jan 6th footage.

[@MattSmithMe]

Can Werman whine anymore?

[@alaskapreston7616]

Dude is just a whiner. Hard to listen to, imo.

[@LibertyWarrior1776]

I just lost all respect for Werman after the BS Tucker Carlson Comment. His credibility went straight down the tube at that point. 👎👎👎

[@thomasbrogan8036]

5:19 Yea. Thats why I'm listening to an interview about 30 year old bands, music engineering & rock stories. Thanks.

[@Stufftowatch21]

Really Tom , J6 & Tucker 😳🤦‍♂️GTFO .

[@chrisharris4975]

Love George Lynch, saw him many times. 1988 on the Monsters of Rock tour in Miami Florida he threw down his ESP in anger and was angry as hell. In the crowd sounded great and being a player and he was an idol was taken aback. Have seen him many times since and always still thought highly of him, he always seems not impressed with anyone. He is more grounded now. At the same time be nice. He lost quite a few a gigs including the Ozzy gig to Jake and the Dio gig to Vivian Campbell. He was one of the guys in the late 70's that was smashing. Edward, Randy and George were the guys back then. Still love Love George and his playing. The Lynch Mob album Wicked Sensation is golden.

[@archer1483]

The fact that these old guys still cry and complain about s*** that happened 40 years ago is absurd!

[@angusorvid8840]

Werman is a total legend of a producer. The Led Zeppelin and Beatles of power pop, hard rock and metal producers.

[@anguscaffrey4793]

How the fuck are Dokken still arguing 😂😂

[@vonMohl]

Sound engineers and producers are a few level higher than band members.

[@timothyjudsontaylorofficia9786]

Very few play as well as George. Just saying. The man is a beast!

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Bullshit
