Jon Levin really knocks it out of the park. Superb guitar player. He plays George's parts with great respect while still doing his own thing. Great tone as well. I know he uses DiMarzio Tone Zone's in the bridge and Duncan Hot Rails in the neck. I haven't seen him playing one of his new strats yet so don't know what he's using in them, just the Charvels he played.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Cool about the pickups, Didn’t know this 😲😲👍👍👍👍

[@TonyFuentesTV]

I love this!!!

[@angusorvid8840]

@@TonyFuentesTV Levin is great. He can sure hold his own. That's not an easy guitar slot to fill. But he kicks butt. He's actually a music contract lawyer and very well regarded as such. He's a real Buckaroo Banzai.

[@sammyt1995]

I love that Jon did his own take on the solo here.... He keeps the spirit of the solo and the key licks but embellishes and makes it his own. I thinks thats what playing in the style of Lynch is all about because George never plays the same solo twice.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Absolutely! You nailed it! From my memory, Lynch played like Jon Levin does today back in 1984! Lynch was that fast and fiery and gooood! Then I guess age takes over and he matured his playing and slowed down and got more groovy LOL

[@sammyt1995]

@@TonyFuentesTV You are right! George changed a little bit but it still sounds like him.. I would argue that he gets even more out of each note now when he plays... Certain techniques like his vibrato have continued to mature...

[@NealVio]

Jon Levin is no George Lynch. George set the bar extremely high and nobody can come close to those early days. BUT, I will admit he did a very good job with this solo, but not quite like the real thing. Great effort, you can hear the Lynch style which is needed if you're going to try to improvise, because again, very iconic solo.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@NealVio totally agree spot on!!! 👍👍👍

[@jimjoebob2269]

Although george isn't george anymore, he plays nothing like he used to.

[@NealVio]

@@jimjoebob2269 I know, it's such a shame. He use to say he wanted to play his balls off. He doesn't say that anymore, or play like that anymore.

[@stevedamien638]

​@@jimjoebob2269exactly overrated

[@jfo3000]

Jon is great, saw him live a few years back. He totally dropped the last run of his solo here. Still cool though, proper sound design, squeals, general Lynch effect.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

I have yet to see home live… soon I hope!

[@robertmedford8430]

All incarnations of Dokken have been great in my opinion. I'm so glad Ozzy passed on george looking back on it. Totally digging the stache Tony. Long live Dokken!🤘

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@robertmedford8430 so true! I would have loved to see George play a few shows of Randy’s stuff just to see it, but it worked out for George !! 👍👍

[@Firebrandrock]

Chris Cargil on bass. From my state CT……great vocalist as well

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@Firebrandrock thank you! I botched his name 😢😲😲🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@back4onemore]

Nice crib! Glad those KZbin royalties are coming in!

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@back4onemore LOL! I got a raise 🤣🤣🤣❤️👍👍

[@ldmorrison]

One of my all time favorite bands. 🤘 But,I will say Mick Brown is looking more like Rodney Dangerfield as he ages. 😂

[@TonyFuentesTV]

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍 now I cannot unsee it! 😲😲🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@tcpfeff]

Chris McCarvill on bass. Mick retired at the end of March 2019. At that point BJ Zampa took over. ( mick picked him) I was helping the band at mick’s last gig. New Bedford ma. ( Chris & BJ are good friends of mine)

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Thank you for your story! That’s so cool! And thanks for correcting me in the bass players name LOL. I forgot it during video prep 😲🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍🙏🔥🔥

[@guydickson777]

If don can't sing in the same key live..... he shouldn't try to keep doing it. I love dokken, no disrespect to Don at all.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

His love of music keeps him going and the fans still support him, I guess he’ll sing till he can’t…

[@RecoveringReporter]

What a tiny kit Mick has, I miss his cage from the 80s, that thing was a monster

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@RecoveringReporter yes! The cage! Great memory! 1985! 👍👍👍🔥🔥

[@srf6161]

Great solo....Jon has developed into quite the force...the T and N version is great too with ripper Owens

[@TonyFuentesTV]

I love that version also!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@mikecampisi6891]

forget about Dokken how about Tony's new look ha-ha good to see you again I subscribed to you years ago

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@mikecampisi6891 Hahahaha! Miss you buddy! We’re back! Again! LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏❤️👍👍

[@BrianHillje]

Looks like Levin is paying a tribute to Micheal Schenker.

[@Virtuoso78]

It must not be easy being hired to imitate the style of the guitarist who was before you especially when it’s George Lynch. Kind of like Tommy Thayer being hired to look like and imitate Ace and not being able to be himself. Losing his individuality. Mr. Levin does have potential but he’s no George Lynch.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

I love this!! Big shoes to fill!! 😲😲👍👍👍

[@jefftorres7635]

His voice is starting to go south. You can hear it !!

[@TonyFuentesTV]

true..hes about to hang it up next year i believe

[@jordiumethar4963]

Me parece muy correcto su trabajo en las ritmicas y en el solo va mas que correcto. G.L es George lynch!!!!!.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@jordiumethar4963 Jordi!!! Gracias!!!

[@GhettoFabulous99]

John is definitely 🔥. But he’s just playing covers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@GhettoFabulous99 technically true except his own material the non Lynch era…👍👍

[@zman0729]

I don't think Jon Levin would crack my top 5 Dokken guitar players. If I had to rate a top 5, it might look like this: 5 Alex De Rosso 4 John Norum 3 Warren DeMartini 2 Reb Beach 1 George Lynch

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@zman0729 love it!!! 🔥🔥👍👍👍

[@adamp2]

Writing the music is differnt then copying not saying hes not good buttt

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@adamp2 so true! I hear you! 👍👍. But I love watching Jon shred all day! 🔥🔥

[@jimbaxter8488]

Well, he has heavy processing on the guitar -flanger and delay…he screws up the riff the second and third time through…tried copying George with flat 5s in solo etc…giving it a similar diminished feel a George Lynch trademark. Bass player is solid…guitar player is good.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

@@jimbaxter8488 you got a good ear! I missed that! 😲😲🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
