I love how Dave Murray and Adrian Smith were not influenced ONE bit by any other guitarists there and played exactly the same way that they do on Iron Maiden records. Their slow, harmony parts really stood out from everyone else needlessly shredding just for the sake of it. Yngwie did what he naturally does so it never ever sounds forced.

Exactly. He never acts like he was a over confident, know it all, had it together from day one guy. My favorite story he recounted was when I got contacted to play with Dokken. I believe they(Dokken) were either already in Germany or headed there. George stated "I didn't even have a case for my guitar at the time. I just wrapped it in a towel...". That was me too. No case for my guitar. It was too much money and didn't make me sound any better/worse. Funny what seems like rational thought when you're a young person.

I always appreciate the honesty that George Lynch has, he doesn’t sugarcoat his experiences.

Lynch is so cool 😎

You pointed out the exact thing I was going to comment on. If you just listen to that track, you can instantly tell George Lynch. He shines stylistically above all of them in a lot of ways. I am a huge Yngwie fan, so I obviously instantly recognize his sound. However, I didn’t really see him shining so brightly on this particular recording. Obviously he was majorly impacted by his car accident so I would never want to talk poorly of an artist that survived something like that. But I will add his early work was probably some of the most inspiring Guitar work. It was , VanHalen, Lynch, and Malmsteen for me. Later it was all the others (Gilbert, Becker, Moore etc..) but those were always my top three. So just letting you know George, you made the cut as far as I’m concerned.

I've said it already in the past in some of my comments about Hear N Aid, there were there a lot of great guitar players but when Yngwie entered with his first guitar solo everyone could feel that it was something else, at that time Yngwie was totally better than everyone else and i say it with maximum respect to all the other guitar players, the song itself is nothing more than a generic Dio song, it's the part of the guitar solos that is the highlight of the song with Yngwie Malmsteen guitar solos sections has been the best, thanks for sharing.

I can’t remember if it’s the second, I believe his third part, where there’s the slow chugging buildup (with lynch possibly) and then Yngwie pulls that wicked sweeping pick scale then some blazing notes after to round it off…that right there just said everything I needed to hear first time I listened to the track. Every single one of those guitarists are incredibly talented, but yngwie was in an entirely different league. I honestly believe it had to do with his classical upbringing and approach with Paganini as his hero, etc

I love to hear George play. And now I'm loving the gray hair. Silver Fox ❤❤ ❤

The first Dokken song I ever heard was _Till The Living End_ and the lead guitar was fantastic, going over the chord changes, etc. as if he were telling a story. And then he got even better; on _Back for the Attack_ he kicked it up a notch. That phrasing, the vibrato, the tone... he had established his place among the greats!

100% !!! We agree!

It's all about personal preference as to what solo one enjoys. But Yngwie had made the biggest impact since Eddie at that time. Yngwie also ignited a renewed interest in classical music among young people as well. I remember going to to the local Sound Warehouse and seeing other long hairs hanging out in their separate classical department. The department had its own room. One of the guys working in there was blown away how all these young men suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It started about 1985, about two years before I moved into the neighborhood. He later learned a lot of it had to do with Yngwie. They went from barely selling any Paganini to barely being able to keep any in stock. Up until that point, only violinists were buying the 24 Caprices. He actually got excited when I (another long hair) asked for some Scarlatti. But I had been raised on the stuff. Yngwie allowed me to come out of my classical nerd closet and look cool. Most of the guys back then were digging into Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and, of course, Paganini. The guys on Shrapnel (Friedman, Becker, Moore, Gilbert, MacAlpine and the like) kept the young musicians coming in. It began to die down in the early 90s. Which was odd because there was a resurgence of classical music sales in general not long after that. It's odd how that worked out. I became a guitar tech not long after this. Yngwie's impact goes far deeper than scales, sweeping and arpeggios. A lot of guys used their classical interest as the gateway into jazz when neo-classical became pretty common. It was cool seeing this evolution.

King Yngwie is the man that why!

nobody makes riffs like George Lynch, so complex, try learning The Hunter by ear... so many little details ,etc...mission impossible

Eddie Ojeda from Twisted Sisters was wise. Since everybody was playing fast, he did a slow melodic solo that really stands out amongst all the shred-fest that's going on.

Ed may have been the king but yngwie was the guitarists's guitarist. I have the hear n aid album and all of the solos on stars sound pretty much the same. Yngwie's part doesn't stick out "like a sore thumb" but if you point it out, you can tell it's him.

THIS is the guy who made me pick up a guitar. Not Eddie, not Page, not Clapton or Hendrix, but Lynch. I was 15 and Tooth & Nail was just released. I was hooked. Not only his skill and talent, but the writing. Mixing the fast runs with slow, single note phrases really generates that ebb and flow that we all crave (well, some of us) The solo on Lightning Strikes Again is one of my all time faves of ANY guitarist. Yes, Malmsteen was the Master of the Shred back then in a different way than Eddie. No one even heard of Neo-classical then and he was at the front of the mainstream pack. Although some would argue Uli Jon Roth was ahead of him in that genre. Listen to the Scorpions track Sails of Charon and you'll see why. Anyways, Lynch will always be in my wheelhouse with some of the sound tracks of my high school years. All great memories.

I remember reading Guitar Player back in 1983. They had a regular feature about up and coming guitar players. I saw a photo and a short few lines about this Swedish kid. If there was one time GP got it right, it was then

I did heaps of gigs over 30 years or so, mostly at pubs and clubs. I was a massive choker when it counted, such as at auditions and when people came to see me play. It's the main reason I never got beyond playing in coverbands, and probably why I eventually quit (because I never got anywhere, the gigs were getting progressively shittier as I got older). After bad weekend gigs when I was young, which was most, I used to drive home pissed off, then not start practicing again until the following Tuesday or Wednesday. I once did a short demo for a guitar shop at a music expo with hundreds of fret-watchers. I totally went to water, and all I could do was grip the neck very tightly and play bad pentatonic scales. I after one short jam, I shook my head at the other guys on stage, put the guitar down and took off. I ran to my car, drove home, and didn't touch my guitars for several days. If I knew what beta-blockers were when I was young, I would've taken them. I started drinking at gigs, and I don't like drinking that much. I even got half-pissed once for an audition. There's a fine line between drinking enough to calm bad nerves, and drinking so much that it impairs your playing; plus you've gotta drive home after the gig. Anyway, boo hoo, hey? Talk about first world problems. 😄 Hee hee. 😆👍 I read an article about George many years ago, in which he mentioned sometimes being nervous on stage and having his fingers turning to cement. I found this reassuring and relatable at the time.

Be safe all !

The reason i picked up a guitar in 1986........

i actually liked Brad Gillis the best on that one

If you listen closely to this tracks backing rhythms, Adrian and Dave is not only playing, but they are playing the comp off 2 Minutes to Midnight (the riffing behind the mellow solo section on that song) - behind the whole solo section of the Stars track.

George - you were clearly George Lynch and that speaks volumes about who you are. Yes, at Hear - n - Aid, you were clearly George Lynch and Yngwie was clearly Yngwie, Brad Gillis was clearly him and Dave and Adrian were clearly them. Everyone else, and I mean everyone else was just trying to be in the timeframe playing what fit the bill - which was a joke - make no mistake about it - Yngwie, Lynch and Brad Gillis were the ONLY one who sounded like themselves - that is the stark reality - either like it or learn to live with it….

It is seemed like George and Yngwie had the most takes on that track. It almost seemed like George and Yngwie was battling it out going back and fourth more than the others. Lynch definatlety held his own and made some amazing solos on that track.

I know George is a bit older than me but is he talking about South Gate near Downey and Watts? if he is , that's amazing!

His was funky and had swing. Buck's, Yngwie's and Lynch's are the stand out solos for me. I still have the Hear-N-Aid VHS I bought new in '86.

Buck is an underrated bad ass.

Caught one his clinics like 20 years ago I was starstruck then and couldn't ask a ? During Q&A wish I could turn back the clock😥

❤

Everyone feared Yngwie but gathered around Neal Schon during the sessions.

George’s outtake solo in the Making Of video is better than what they used for the album solo, same for Yngwie’s clip! They should’ve just used those and given them longer sections

is that the same guitar event where Vinnie Moore was? I remember a video about an event like this one but the vedeo was saying that the real "talk about" was Vinnie moore.

i had no problem keeping apart the guitarists ... for i know their specific techniques back then .. for i had copied the best solos of these guitarists all ... the solo part is great just becouse u all put in the extra effort ...that makes it great ... it took me 4 hours to copy them all, as well as the solos on the end and the par played by the iron maiden guitarists at the last phase working to the end to do both parts the same time ... ...and then 1 hour to make everything smooth ...and the trick back then was philips n4504 multi speed tapedeck for copying.. i ve played it often for public... ...

Cool! Lynch is a legend! Awesome instructional videos, great solos and riffs! Awesome guitars too!

I couldn’t agree with you more! 😬👍🎸

Interestingly enough, I cannot pick out Yngwie's part, but I know Lynch, Gillis. Campbell, and I believe Murray plays the ending solo.

Video is 6 min. Where I can find the full episode?

Its sooooooo HARD TO IMAGINE A GUY AS GOOD AS GEORGE TO HAVE STAGE FREIGHT !!!! LOL !!!!

I wish Randy Rhoads could've been there!

George was great on The Hear n’ Aid project🔥 But the other guy that brought it home for me was Neal Schon!🙌 He BURNED! And he still sounded like himself. I picked him out right away…He simply KILLED it!🎸
