Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    I hear that it's just "in the works".  Any good scuttlebutt about
    it's release date ?  I'll buy it out of curiousity...
    
    jc

    
    
    I'll buy it to listen to Lynchs' axe!!
    
    jeff

    Pilson's not on bass ?  Wonder why ?
    
    
    
    				Scary

    
    I read in an issue of Guitar Player that Dokken still is together
    with the exception of Jeff Pilson being replaced by bassist from
    the band Black 'n Blue.  Other than the replacement of Jeff Pilson,
    nothing has changed with Dokken.
    
    Mr. Ed

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    I was waiting for a reply from Buck!!!
    
    Who cares?
    
    /Motorbreath

    Well, unless the recent issue of Guitar (FTPM)(also an interview with
    Billy Duffy) made up an interview with George, than it was all a lie. 
    George also said from what I remember (I knew I should have bought it)
    that so far they have about 15 songs ready to put down.  I don't
    remember any mention of Jeff Pilson, although he had a field day
    ragging on Don.  Dokken IS gone.
    
    Steve

    Yeah, they really tore Don apart in that article...  George said
    something to the effect of (in reference to a question about LM's
    singer:
    
    "Besides being a nice guy, easy to work with, fun and a great singer,
     <insert_new_guys_name> is a LOT like Don was.

    I was rolling when I read that.
    
    jc

    
    
    Hold the presses,
    
    I read another article in the new Guitar Player this week and they
    also say that [with quotes from George] that the line up remains
    the same in Dokken with the exception of the replacement of Jeff
    Pilson [with the bass player from Black 'n Blue].  As far as the
    songs going towards the Lynch Mob, which by the way was planned
    on being a three piece outfit including George on Guitar, Jeff on
    Bass and Lead Vocals and Mick Brown on Drums, are either going to
    show up on the new Dokken album or be part of a solo project of
    George's.  So everybody shut the f*ck up!
    
    Mr. Ed
    

    Down Buck... (!)

    
     So....
           What's the final verdict?????
    
    
        To Dokken or not to Dokk...?

    I heard he was doing work w/Jeff Pielsen (sp?)
    
               Didn't they do/or are working on an album
    
    tama

    
    	....while guitarist George Lynch and drummer Mick Brown
    	have teamed up in Lynch Mob, featuring Oni Logan on
    	vocals and Anthony Esposito on bass -- they're recording
    	now and planning a spring release.
    
    	Tigga~~~

	Well, I wasn't going to put this entire interview in since
	it's really long but the more I read of it, the more I laughed.
	
	Copied from Rip Magazine without permission.
    
    	Tigga~~~
    


RIP:  	Anthony (Esposito), how did you hook up with these guys?

ANTHONY:A friend of mine [Atlantic Records publicist Tania McMasters] told
	me about the opening and got me in touch with them.  I went out to 
	Phoenix and auditioned.  I wasn't even supposed to come out, and 
	they asked me if I could cancel my flight.  But I had a 
	nonrefundable ticket, so I ended up going anyway.

ONI:	I asked him to cancel it because we had a couple of bass players in
	town at that time, and it was just a stroke of luck that he came out.
	He couldn't refund his ticket, so we said, "Oh, alright.  Come out."
	As soon as he walked through the door and started playing and 
	suggesting arrangement ideas, I knew he was the guy, and the other 
	guys did too.  The bass players we auditioned before didn't have any
	soul in their playing.  Everything in this band is shared equally, so
	we wanted somebody who could contribute creatively.  But everyone
	else was so intimidated by George and Mick.

RIP:	George, the scuttlebutt about how you found Oni was that you followed
	him around, somewhat drunkenly, at his Ferrari gigs and told him
	point-blank in front of everyone that you were going to steal him for
	your band.  True or false?

GEORGE:	Oh, man!  We had already been talking for months. [Pause] Or at least 
	a month.

ONI:	We talked for two months before I came out there.  I was unhappy with
	Ferrari band because I didn't have creative freedom.  It was like a 
	tug-of-war between me and one of the guys in the band.  They wanted 
	to record, and I wanted to write some more songs and make the album a
	contender in the rock genre.  They disagreed, so I said, "Forget it."
	One listen to this guy's [George's] demo, and I knew it was something
	great.  Plus, he told me, "You can have total freedom and creativity."

GEORGE:	I basically told him, "It's your band.  It's all our band."  Nobody 
	has any upper hand in this band in any way -- financially, creatively
	or anything.  Seriously.  But, actually, I HAD been drinking when I 
	went to see him at one of their shows--because they came on three 
	hours later than they were supposed to!  And I was real drunk by the
	time he got up on his way to the dressing room, and I peeked my head
	around the stairwell and said, "Would you rather be in a band called
	Ferrari or drive one?"  That angered his road crew and the guy with 
	the white-and-black hair [Marc Ferrari].  So these guys were right in
	my face, but I would have kicked their *sses for him. [Joking]
	I'd beat up the rest of the band, and he wouldn't have anybody to 
	play with.

RIP:	Why isn't Jeff Pilson in the band?

GEORGE:	Junior Dokkenitis syndrome.  That means that someone told him he 
	was great and he didn't need anybody else in the band, and he believed
	it.  He's great, but I don't think anybody can do it on their own. 
	We shared a lot of dreams together, and for him to just walk out
	on them like that when the time came to make those things a reality...
	I mean, we're still friends.  I'm still bitter about it a little
	bit, but I'm glad that we're not playing together now, to tell you
	the truth.  Not because of the way it happened, but just 'cause I'm
	glad to be playing with a bass player who's realy a bass player.
	Jeff wasn't happy as a bass player, and he wouldn't have been happy
	if he continued to be one.  He was born to be a lead singer.  He's 
	good at that.  [Joking] He's useless in life other than what he does.
	He can't go to the bathroom by himself, but when he ges onstage and
	sings, he's at home.  If he wants to pursue that, it's great and I
	wish him the best of luck.  The only thing I care about is this; If
	you're not on our side, you're the enemy as far as I'm concerned.

RIP:  	How does this compare with the music you did with Dokken?  Is there
	any similarity besides your guitar playing?

GEORGE:	My guitar playing isn't even the same.  [Joking]  I got that same loud
	buzz in my amp!  Same problem with tuning.  I keep hitting that one 
	wrong note!	

RIP:	So with all your years in Dokken, what is it that you're not going 
	to do that you've learned from that experience?

GEORGE:	I won't play with no-talent, fat...

ONI:	Oh, man!  Do you h ear what he's saying?

GEORGE:	...Egotistical singers.

ONI:	Ooohhhh!  Oh!  can we rewind and erase this?

RIP:	[Laughing] No! This is great!  Go on, George!

GEROGE:	Oh, I gotta do one spiteful interview.  we do all those nice and happy
	and sweet ones.  Let's do this.  Besides [pointing at me], she loves
	the dirt.  The bandmembers are mates.  You don't screw your family.  
	The band comes first before anything else, even if it means taking a
	sh*t business-wise.

ANTHONY:Yeah, the band's a family, and incest is against the law!

RIP:	Is it true that you're legally trying to stop Don from using the name
	Dokken or Dokken II for his band?

GEORGE:	Yeah.  He can't use it.  I told his manager I'll take him to court if
	he did use it.  He can try.  He submitted a few different names.
	One was Dokken's Army, and they didn't like that; so they changed it 
	to Dokken II, and we said, "No II."  Then he changed it, by removing 
	all the vowels, to DKN.  We figured if we opened up for him, we'd
	change our name to Balls, and it would be DKNBALLS!  We suggested 
	they remove the consontants instead and call themselves OE.  
	That would be acceptable.  "OE!  OE!  OE!" [Laughs]

RIP:	[Also laughing]  The audience would sound like a bunch of pigs!

GEORGE:	Well, that would be appropriate!  [Oni shoots him another angry look,
	Anthony laughs and I raise my eyebrows.  George decides the best 
	defense is the good offense.]  Hey, he's been telling people that I'm
	a heroin addict.!  He's systematically gone out to everybody who I've 
	been in contact with in the business and said all this sh*t about me,
	which I try to ignore, but sometimes it just p*sses me off.  He can't
	just worry about his own thing and get it together.  He's got to try 
	to just completely tear me down.  That's bullsh*t.  He was up at 
	the guitar endorser at ESP trying to get a free guitar, but they
	wouldn't give it to him.  A friend of mine overheard Don talking 
	to a bunch of kids.  He got tired of listening to himself and 
	believing his own bullsh*t, and he just started on me.  My friend
	called me and said, "Maybe I shouldn't tell you this, but these kids
	came up to me afterwards and asked me if you were a heroin addict."
	I never took heroin in my whole life!  I wouldn't even know what it
	it is if I saw it!  He's tried to paint this picture of me being...
	he'd say that he was the personwho came up with melodies, harmonies
	and ballads--allt the commercial aspects of the songs--and that I 
	came up with the grungy, distorted heaviness.  That was the most
	ludicrous thing I ever heard, because that's so untrue.  If anything,
	I probably did more of the other stuff.  He said that I'd said 
	"Ballads are for wimps."  I never said that!  We have a killer ballad 
	on this album!

RIP:	But Don has said that he respects you very much as a guitar player.

GEORGE:	Yeah, that's what he told me.

RIP:	He's also said that he spent more time with his new band in seven 
months
	than he did with Dokken in seven years.

GEORGE:	well, that was of his own accord.  Jeff, Mick and me would get 
	together, and he would just never show up because he thought he
	was a star.  He would not play.  He'd think he could take his own limo
	and that kind of sh*t.  And we wouldn't let him get away with that 
	crap, 'cause it wasn't HIS band, it was all of our band.  But he tried
	to believe that it was.  So, it was just games.  Endless mind games.  
	Endless ego games that got so tired.  He'd say, "I want my own 
	special thing on the rider [contract].  I want this.  Let's talk about
	me.  What do you think of MY album?"  He would constantly lie to the
	press about how he wrote everything and did everything, but he did
	the least work in the band!  I think he was the least-talented member
	of the band, and for him to take all the credit.... I've probably said 
	enough already.

ONI: [Trying to steer George to a safer topic].  Let's just talk about how 
	great our band is.

GEORGE:	Well, he talks about how great his band is.  That's why his band's
	ready to jump ship on him.  His bass player came over to us and
	wanted to join our band.  Patrick Young from Black'n Blue.
	I originally approached Patrick [before Anthony joined], and he was
	swaering to me that it was going to be an equal band and everything's
	on the up and up, and I said, "Okay but if it doesn't turn out 
	tha way--and I'm not gonna tell you it isn't--but let's say it
	doesn't down the road, give us a call."  He gave us a call a month 
	later and said, "well, I don'[t really have a contract, and now
	Don says he just wants me for the road, and I'm just gonna be a 
	salaried musician.  I walked into the studio, and there's some
	other musician playing through my rig, and Don tells me I'm not
	gonna do the album."  That's kind of cheesy and chickensh*t.

RIP:	Do you want to comment on your lack of enthusiasm during the
	Monsters of Rock tour?

GEORGE: Well, I don't have any excuse for that, but I was very disillusioned
	with the way things were, because the breakup was totally 
	orchestrated by Don for his own benefit.  He announced to Jeff and
	Mick and me, "I"m leaving the band, and I'm gonna do everything in
	my power to keep the nam;e, but we gotta go out and play the 
	Monsters."  Here I had worked six years to make this band happen, 
	and I gotta throw it all in the gutter so he can benefit himself.

RIP:	Why would he tell you that right before the tour even began?

GEORGE:	Because that's the way he is!  He's a piece of sh*t!  That IS a 
	slimeball thing to do to somebody else.  You're talking about three
	other guys' whole lives!  To take their lives and just... he cares
	about no one else but himself.  The guy would step on his 
	grandmother's forehead to get another foot ahead.  He's a slimeball,
	man.  He is.  So the band was over.  There was no future.  I should
	have been able to get it done professionally, and gone out there
	and given it my best, but it was hard for me to get past the fact
	that it was over.  What was I working for?  It's hard for me to work
	just for myself.  to me, it has to be a band.  That's what motivates
	me.  I feel I might have cheated the fans in doing that.  I tried
	to play, but it's hard for me to get up next to the guy and say,
	"Yeah!  Come on over here, bro!  Let's make this s how happen!"
	when I felt like knocking him OFF the stage.  He'll eventually hang
	himself.  His time will come.  He'll do okay because he'll use other 
	people's talents like he always has, and it will make up for the lack
	of his own.  A band means four people working for one thing, instead
	of somebody heading up a group like a bunch of hired guns to make
	you look good.  In Lynch Mob, everybody collaborates.  That's what
	makes this band work.  Helping each other out.  we need each other.

FOOTNOTE:  It wasn't our intention in covering the Dokken chronicles over the
	past two months that things get so ugly.  Words hurt; the truth hurts.
	We've heard the words, from Don last month, and from George here in
	this article.  Don's recollections of George were terse, but extremely
	polite in comparison to George's obvious still-fervent hatred for 
	his fo rmer bandmate (no wonder the shredder's secret nickname 
	was "Satan")  As metal journalists and fans of the music, we'd like
	to see this banter and bullsh*rt end, and Don Dokken and George 
	Lynch grow up, move on and prosper respectively in their new
	ventures.  Do it for the kids, huh, fellas?

    Thank you very much Tigga for posting that!!!
    
    Maybe NOW people won't be posting notes that say "I heard the original
    Dokken
    
    a) never broke up
    b) are getting back together again.
    
    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh (sigh of relief)
    Buck

    
    	Yeah, thanks!!
    
    	Don sounds like an idiot, eh?  We only heard one side of the
    	coin, but it seems to be that way.
    
    							GTI
    

    
    Re: - 18  Don, may sound like an idiot but, I've read different in
    other magazines.  Stuff like George is a wicked Egomanic and a devil
    worshiper etc.  So who knows really. - Kim

    
    
    	I only wish that I had the April issue of Rip so I could
    	post Don's side of the story..
    
    	Anybody have the issue that would be willing to post it??
    
    	Tigga~~~

    I think they're all a$$holes, and that George's band will be as 
    exciting as cold oatmeal. Much the same as Mr. Big, and Lynch Mob's
    first or second single will be a pukish ballad.
    
    Willing to bet cash/Motorbreath

    LYNCH MOB/DOKKEN II Summary:
    
    George Lynch - A cry baby that got tired of playing fills for love
    	songs.  A killer player, but unfortunately pop metal is saturated
    	with players of equal merit.  Shut up George !
    
    Don Dokken - A cry baby that got tired of having heavy guitar lines
    	foul up his "oh baby, oh's".  He needs to mature a bit as well.	
    	Another part that will never equal the sum called "Dokken".  Shut
    	up Don !
    
    Jeff Pilson - A front man wannabe.  But, will probably remain a
    	neverbe.  You'll probably find him at a flea market in a few years
    	selling "Tooth And Nail" t-shirts from the back of a '72 Dodge
    	station wagon.
    
    Mick Brown - Yeah, where is he now ?
    
    
    
    				Scary

    
    I've never liked Don's voice - reminds me too much 
    of Joey Tempest of Europe.
    
    -Tone

    >>I've never liked Don's voice - reminds me too much 
    >>of Joey Tempest of Europe.
    
    
    Dokken reminds you of Europe? If they're that similar I would tend to
    think that Europe would remind one of Dokken. 
    
    <In my best Yakov Smirnoff>
    
    Sheesh, what a conference
    
    
    the devil dog

    Scary,
    	I agree completely with your idea of the members of Dokken.
    	George's band is going to blow.
    	Don's got lotsa talent, but like you said, he's got to mature 
    	and realize that he's just never going to be Bon Jovi.
    	Mick? He's probably playing for someone else by now.
    	Jeff? Who cares!
    
    /Motorbreath

    Dokken *was* great .... but ....
    
    Yo Don !  Guess you're "Alone Again", huh ?  And when might there be a
    reunion ?  "When Heaven Comes Down", I would gather.  Makes ya wonder
    how it lasted this long ... I guess they "Just Got Lucky".  They must
    have hung in there for the $$$$ 'cuz "It's Not Love" that pulled them
    through Monsters of Rock.  Time to go to bed I think ....
    
    
    
    
    				Mr. Scary (F# kinda guy)

Yep...

and now they're 'Into the fire'...

jc

    
    	I don't care what anyone says ... I'm glad that George is
    	"Breaking the Chains" that held him with Dokken.

    re.29
    
    No Jesse, I said that DON Dokken (ie the singer) reminds me of Joey 
    Tempest of Europe (ie they both suck).
                            
    I wasn't making a comparison between the two bands just the two
    vocalists.
         
    -Tony

    My point was that the egg (donny) came before the chicken (joey). I see
    you Suck point 'tho.

    
    Personally, I think it was probably Don's "I'm the band" type front-man
    attitude most singers have; from personal experience!  I called one 
    guy to see if he'd audition, here's a punk 18 year old telling me 
    over the phone, "Well, dude.  I'm like in a lot of demand right now."
    At that point, I hung up the phone!  If he's in so much in demand, why 
    the h*ll is he looking for a band?  I should have called him back!
    I wonder if he'll still be in demand when puberty kicks in!
    
    I'm with George's attitude 100%!  4 (or 5 in our case) head are smarter
    than 1!  Look how long it took Tom Scholz to put out 3rd stage!  To me, 
    a band is a BAND and if you want to be THE band, why not just come out
    with album "Don Dokken: No band members required".  
    
    (Take a deep breath, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out)
    
    OK, so I'm being a little harsh on singer's attitude.  I will admit
    that there are guitarists out there that have the same problems!  And 
    I hate that with passion!
    
    Well, I'll shut up now...
    
    J. who_hates_ego_with_passion!
    

    George Lynch is on the cover of the May 1990 GFTPM.  It also has
    transcriptions for "Mr. Scary" on the inside.
    
    Mike

    
    I've got the issue and it's the live prelude into "Mr. Scary" and
    looks pretty interesting...
    
    J-Dot

    Anybody heard a release from Mr. Scary and company yet ?  Hmmm ?
    
    Wonder if it'll be another Dokken_clone like Don's most recent effort
    was ...
    
    Scary (who likes Don's newest a lot ...)

    WAAF has been playing the first single... Wicked Sensation
    Good song...  It doesn't sound (IMO) like any of the old Dokken at all.
    

    
    
      Wicked sensation is toooo Kooool!!! Oni sounds so much different than
    he did with Cold Sweat(Ferarri). Lynch sounds as awesome as ever.
    
    								R.C.
    

    Coop has the CD of Lynch Mob and was playing it when he took me home
    from the car shop last night.  
    
    I was, well..., underwhelmed.  The singer sounds a lot like Bon Jovi on
    most of the songs I heard and the guitar parts seemed to be pushed way
    back in the mix.  I donno what happened to Georges killer solos either,
    as in the 5 or 6 songs I heard there seemed to be only one solo and it
    about made me yawn.
    
    I'd like to listen to the whole thing (sometime when I'm not talkin' so
    I could concentrate on it) to tell, but my initial reaction was "Ho
    Hum".
    
    gh

    I happen to think Lynch Mob is one of the best CD's I've picked
    up in a long time!  That song "For A Million Years" absolutely Rooolz!
    "Hell Child" and "Wicked Sensation"... also awesome!  In fact, there's
    only a couple tunes on the album that I didn't like that much.
    
    < Ken >
    

    
    Looking at the two singles I've heard, one from each band that resulted
    from Dooken's breakup, I must say that George's playing/songwriting 
    definitely has fire in it while the other, well, send it to the old
    folks home.  Although I don't remember hearing adefinite solo on 
    Wicked Sensation, I loved his rhythm playing!
    
    Now, if I could just track down a store that's got Lynch Mob in
    stock, and Jeff would let me borrow Don's CD...  8*)
    
    SESOB

    I saw the video for "Wicked Sensation" last night on the ball .. I
    liked it, but I'm a Lynch-head anyway.  And the thing I liked most
    about Don's new album is the fact the the guitar works sounds *so* much
    like Mr. Scary .... 
    
    Scary

    I picked up the L.M. CD and like alot too.... Some real good tunes.
    
    Jeff
    
    Re back a few... Hot Rock Records in Salem has plenty of the CD's in
    stock.

                I picked up this one when I got the new Maiden.
                I like it.  Haven't listened to it enough to
                really determine just how much I will like it,
                but Lynch is the yones.  The singer sounds like
                DonD crossed a bit occasionally with the singer
                for Tesla.  The tunes are very Dokkenish.

                - Rob -

    
       I give the tape a thumbs up....Great guitars! I have both the Don
     Dokken tape and Lynch Mob.I have to agree Don slowed his down abit
     compared to Lynch's release.

Heard a song called "Bed of Roses" this morning on WAAF - it cranked!!!! I 
assume its the latest release off the first album - I'll have to check it
out now!

      The whole album CRANKS!!!
    
                 Go buy it and quit depriving yourself!

    I have to agree with Friskid, it is a cool album - go buy it.

    I caught Lynch Mob on "In Concert '91" Friday night and frankly, I
    thought they sucked!  
    
    George was so low in the mix that you could hardly hear him, even
    during his solos (spell: "Most of the time").  He tried to do entirely
    too much soloing and it sounded stupid too, probably why they
    practically removed him from the mix...
                                           
    I'm not sure what was holding the music together, because the bass
    player didn't seem to be playing that much and Lynch was constantly
    going off on these solo riff things which should have left the rhythm
    section kind of thin, but it didn't.  I think they either had another
    player offstage or taped background because there just wasn't enough
    instruments out there doing the right thing at the right time to have
    been playing completely live.
    
    gh

    Oh yeah...
    
    In addition to all that, what little I heard of Lynches (constant)
    playing sounded really weak and totally uninspired.  It was like he was
    blindly noodling with no direction whatsoever.
    
    It didn't even sound like the same guitarist that used to play all
    those cool solos a few years back with Dokken.  I'm sorry, but he's
    just lost it...

    So, you didn't like them?

     I have to say the In Concert show did really let me down completely...
    I caught the show here in Richmond, when they had King of the Hill
    opening up for them, and it was a totally different band!!! George was
    kickin and the rest of the band was really tight. The show on I.C. was
    almost like zombieville...sounded like the singers voice had been on
    the road way to long, maybe the whole band had been on the road way to
    long!!!time to take it easy and go to the Bahamas for awhile...

    He's lame, he hasn't come up with an original lick since Tooth & Nail.

    Dude...You are wrong and you WILL change your ways once the new album
    comes out.
                        Frizkid
    

    Change?  Not likely, I had to change my mind from when I thought he
    rooled.  He was killer with Dokken, but the last two albums were total
    rehash stuff on his part and his solo album was even worse.  Not only
    was it rehash licks, but it was *bad* rehash.
    
    gh

    I liked the tunes on the Lynch Mob album.

    
    
    Have this band split-up or what???
    
    i new i sould have seen them when i had the chance! 
    
    
    there album kicks though !!!

    Ewan, I think they a doing another album at the moment.

    O' thanks, I'm sure Kerrang said the singer had left though...ages ago
    O well it's full of rubbish anyway and i don't read it anymore so..
    
    
    
    thanks...can't wait to hear it, george lynch rips!!!
    
    Ewan

    I heard recently (in the last week or so) that the singer had
    *definately* left.
    
    Another Lynch Mob album?  Yawn...no thanks.
    
    gh

    
    They had some great tunes and were entertaining live.

    EWAN,
        They have a new singer. His name is Bobby Young...(I think).

    I heard two promo songs from Lynch Mob and they BLOW!
    
               Frizkid
    

    
    
    I heard their new song on the radio the other day, it is called
    something like "Tangled up in your web"..   All all I have to say is I
    must be getting old!  I could not connect with this stuff at all!
    
    
    
    Goddess F.

    I told ya the new Lynch Mob s**ks!! 
    
     It should just be called George and the Tower of horns!
    
               Frizkid
    

    The first album left me cold, got colder when I saw them on that In
    Concert show...
    
    I'm convinced that Lynch has just run out of licks.  He should retire
    while people still have some respect for him.
    
    gh

    
    
    I've been living with the new album for a week now even though my car
    stereo's gone wrong!.... i love it!!! 10 outta 10 for rock n' roll
    cliches. The lyric's are so funny but i love them! I also like the
    music, but it took several listens to get into.
    
    
    A must buy album....but don't blame me if you don't like it, just my
    personal taste.

    I happen to like that song Tangled In Your Web.  Sounds a little bit
    like one of the songs off their first album, but a good song just the
    same.  And the singer sound a lot like their previous one.  Which is
    also good IMO.

    Check out the song 'Jungle of Love'. Its damn good.
    
    Only critisism is the Lynch's solos are getting worse - he really is a
    *BAD* soloist (Yngwie rippoff), but I do enjoy his rhythm work.
    
    -Tony

    I don't know if his solos are getting worse, or just more simple. 
    Unlike the Dokken days, his solos now are more obscure, and blend in
    to the background of the song instead of jumping out at you like
    hundreds of icy fingers sending shock waves into your brain!
    
    |KS|

    I liked his playing and SOUND better in Dokken...now both items just
    are a wash.

Agreed - I think his new stuff is re-hashed Dokken lix... and his
sound is degrading steadily...And his style is gettin' old.  

Bummer, cuz he was SUPER hot with Dokken.  I miss Dokken.  :(

    .....FWIW and all that jazz...........Lynch Mob is playing at Axis in
    Boston tonight............................./k

	Hey can anyone here confirm the talk going around that 
	George Lynch has died????

    	Seth, is it just me, or does it seem like you're the one
    	that always starts the 'death' rumors in this file?! 
    
    	;')
    
    
    	Whit-

    No, I heard this one too, and I *never* hear these things.  Said
    George died over the weekend in an auto accident?!?

    
    
    
    Wow! say it ain't so! 
    
    WAAF is usually right up on the gossip and they didn't mention it.. 
    
    (at least they didn't mention it before 8:15 this morning... )
    
    Whit-

    
    can't be!!!  i haven't heard it, george rules, he'd better not have
    died or i'll kill him.
    

	Eat that Whitpose! ;^)

	hahahahaha



						-Poohpose ;)

    
    
    
    Ya, but if Seth heard it.. it probably ain't true!

    
    
    George! George! George!
    
    
    100 Lynch replies!

    
    WELL IS IT TRUE OR WHAT!!??

	Yer funny whitman! ;)

							-Seth

    Actually, Axl OD'd while George was driving.

    Bwahaha!

    So what's the scoop on George Lynch's death?  Big load of shite or
    what?
    
    

    Ken,I think he just Died On_The_Charts...
    Doubt if Any of his Music will be heard on AOR again..
    Unless he joins one of those"Super_Groups"..
    
            Crazy_Good_Luck_To_Em_Al

	Probably just another silly rumour! ;) hehehe

	I just heard that Jim Whitman alias whitpose is dead!


	Seems while pose pouting his lip got caught in a train track
	and the next thing you know BAM!!! ;)


						-Seth

    
    
    
    
    It could happen...
    
    

    Hey Jimbo, I hear you can really get that mega-extended pout-lip by
    putting little wooden discs between your lib and gums (just a little
    pinch) and gradually increasing the size of the disc over time...

	Note from ICS::WHITMAN Alright who is it, we all know that
	Jim is gone! ;)


	Or is it just he is SO busy at work? ;)

    re: -2.....and if anybody should know about mega extend devices......
    .....it's mr. "he's not just a client" house!.....;")))............../k
