Van Halen Rising talked about George and Ed being contemporaries and chatting about techniques when they were starting out. Has anyone seen video of George talking about Ed? Wouldn't be shocked if there wasn't any because of how personal it may have been. It's hard to imagine being at the beginning of such a huge musical explosion and George being personal friends with Ed. Awe inspiring.

Oh I’d like to do that, not for fame. Just do that in some form. Band. Then others. Peaked like 2003. Then broke off a tad, not much. Then more. But got hungry like last year. But ran into a Cant really play area, odd issue. Soon will get back too.

George Lynch has always been one of my favorite guitarist. Been a fan since the 80s. He's always been one of those play by feel and not by "Look how technical I can get" kind of guitar players. His solos are like songs within songs. He never over plays, but certainly NEVER underplays. It's always "just right". For as long as he's been playing, he certainly hasn't lost his edge - as can clearly be heard in some of his more recent projects such as: KXM, The End Machine, Dirty Shirley, and the covers album "Heavy Hitters", w/Jeff Pilson. One of the few guitarist who's solos I always turn up in every song Lynch is part of.

Well put Drew. WS Re-Imagined was hands down one of if not the coolest thing released in 2020. Would love to see George do that with some of the Dokken material and some other folks take the leap to revisit some of their best stuff to try and one up themselves. It would be like the acoustic craze in the late 80's early 90's all over again.

Legend. Created his own sound, and style. Talked to him a few times at NAMM and had a personal demo. Unreal. I can listen to this all day long.

Georgeis one of the few living legends we have in the rock and roll industry.

Lynch is a legend! So many killer riffs & solos!🏆

He just keeps it fresh and original always. All these yrs later still the best

I saw George play with Lynch Mob a couple of years ago. Their bus broke down and they had to rent a van to get to the gig. They forgot to load their merch, so George went to the Dollar General, bought T-shirts and paint and made custom shirts. I have one, hand made by George.

I went to Eddy VanHalen's Monster's Of Rock at the Detroit Pontiac Silverdome back in 1986 where the greatest solo in History was played there!!! Allot of people said Metallica stole the Show but for any tuned ear George Lynch Easily stole the show his solo smoked All of them by far! It was the ultimate Tone and clearest cleanest and yet nastiest primal lead's ever played. I dubbed him "King George" ever since!!!

Helllllllll yeahhhhhh! Mr Scary is one of my favorite guitar tunes! Lynch rules.

At least he still got all his hair and is in great shape for being almost 70. Let’s not forget in the late 80s, he was already an ‘old timer’ in his mid 30s surrounded by very competent and highly competitive teenage shredders many of who were GIT trained and he could put them in the shade. For most guitarists it would be ‘game over’ by that age. Quite a remarkable guy. He also built guitars and was a body builder too.

Mr. scary himself , just as great as ever .

Nice! Mvc2 in the background as well :)

Loved that guitar since I was a kid👍🏼

If you ever get a chance to meet George, by all means he is great person that is down to earth and has a Melodic style that Rips, you can pick his sound out of anywhere and only the great ones have this!!!

George really created a signature style of guitar playing, each note complimenting the last one doing that major - minor thing that made 80's rock/metal so awesome, he really took that to the next level. I think he has the perfect setup for a superstrat with a bridge bucker and a single at the neck with no middle pup. Cool shirt too, I wonder if Mr. Scary is an MC5 fan?

Awesome back drop & playing.

I snagged many a look of disbelieve when at clinic’s I‘d perform a rendition of BOTH solos live to the metronome set on 176 bpm using 16th notes.....
