#georgelynch ’#dokken
Here is a video of the same performance only from the balcony for everyone who wanted to hear a clearer version ( unfortunately when you are 20 feet from those Marshall amps the guitar sound is overpowering everything else). Hope this helps to explain the poor sound quality!🤘🏼🎸th-cam.com/video/WOsJHTxmXDs/w-d-xo.html
That's fine. Like hearing more of Lynch anyway.
I'd rather hear Lynch.
Nice to hear those Marshalls amps from the one and only George Lynch!!!!
Great video the sound of George guitar is all I want 🤟🎸 LYNCH 🎸🎸🎸🎸
To be honest George is all that's worth hearing.
George found his reason to be on this planet, and it was to be a metal guitarist. He rose up with Eddie and Randy, and forged his own unique path, as did Hendrix, Page and Beck. This guy lives and breaths to play the guitar, and it shows 100% in every single note he plays.
Really? Look at Dons face at the 4:52 mark. That look of "this sounds bad" Then he goes back and has a chuckle with the drummer. He's wincing at how sloppy a player Lynch is throughout the 3 songs and his rig sounds utterly offensive even if you discount the volume. Lynch adds in a lot of ridiculous ad-libs that don't even make sense musically. People put him in there with EVH, Roades, Hendrix and Page? Alrighty then.
@@michaelbackhus1923 lol ive never heard a saltier comment about Lynch. Hes one of the most standup guys out there, let alone a fantastic and highly underrated lead guitarist. I think your ears are broken. Don Dokken can’t even bloody sing. Lynch is the only reason any tickets even sold for this show
@@stonklover You're right, it is a salty comment. What's bad about the comment is that it isn't even his fault. first as we get older it's harder to play at a superior level. Warm-ups take a lot longer to get our fingers moving etc. Also it's not his fault that the music media after Roades death hung a "guitar god" necklace around his neck simply because he knew Roades, and was known as a good player around LA. Good? yes, At evh and roades level? Not even close. So he then had to try to live up to that level but didn't have that "Special" skills, knowledge, creativity. While he wasn't a really good writer and arranger of music it didn't help that Don wasn't a good song writer at all and yet he had 2 other good vocalists around him (Pilson and the drummer.) That's why they always played 2nd or 3rd billing at their shows even 6-8 years in, even opening for new bands that quickly passed them by. That's why Lynch put together (what he thought) was a more aggressive sounding band. Then the Seattle sound wiped the slate clean and bands like dokken and L mob were sent home, some in the middle of tours. This guy (Lynch) just couldn't catch a break.
@@michaelbackhus1923 yes he really is in that conversation. Lynch is a blues player at heart. He just happened to come up when the seeds of hair metal were planted. So he killed it in that era.
But he'll never play the same solo twice. It's what I love and hate about him lol
his phrasing is ridiculous. You know it's him instantly. That's a remarkable gift
@@drefrazier4266 Yea, I was around in that era. Even Viv Campbell was creating songs and solo's that made you want to back up the tape and play a piece over and over because you'd never heard anyone play a piece of solo like it before. Same with Rhoades, and others. you couldn't tell Lynch from anyone else. He would be copying what he heard from rhoades and even Steve clark. Copying krokus songs. Lynch even admits doing that. Dokken was cheese ball rock even in the early 80s. It's like they didn't have any ideas themselves.
The material these guys came up with is freaking insane, the sounds that have come out of George's guitar are second to none.
Agreed!!
@@scottydog62 👍they put out some really catchy stuff, even after all this time it never gets old.
@@irocitZ Absolutely ,I thought Dokken should have been the best selling band out of that era, When you bought their L P's there was no bad filler songs, every song was good and worthy of the being on the radio ,unlike the big selling bands they had a lot of filler songs in their albums ,sure they had the monster hits but a lot of crappy songs that you pretty much skip over, You could keep the Dokken running cover to cover and enjoy every part of it.
Like you say a catchy hook, great melody, excellent guitar work.
Yeah I can imagine myself just standing there staring LOL I'm watching George freaking Lynch
George Lynch Best❤👍
George in my opinion may be ain't the fastest of shredders out there but he's the most technical guitarist and just listen to his riffs that's so soothing to ears and unique as he can be and not forgetting the harmonic. Man I'm almost 45+ yrs but I just can't stop myself from listening to all those 70s and 80s bands that had been so original and raw. Man those were the days of pure unadulterated music unlike today's which i kinda think sucks. George,we love you. Fans of Dokken frm NAGALAND, India.
The most technical? I’m so sick of people with opinions thinking their stating facts, pls stfu.. George is awsome but he can’t play sweep tapped arpeggios or fast runs with groups of 5s, 7s etc. Internet is becoming a place for idiots with opinions…
Shout out to India, some of the nicest people on Earth.
To your point, much of the shred guitar from the 80's was super-technical but had no emotion, no real feel. The best players could slow it down a little and bring some traditional Blues techniques into their compositions. Shredders were a dime a dozen in the 80's, but the titans never left the Blues behind. Lynch could shred with the best of them, but he was aiming for something better, and hit it on the bullseye.
"At 67, the body usually slows down, arthritis etc, but George's Mind and his fingers haven't. The Lynch Legend continues!
"Rock on George! 🤘 🎸🎶🎵🎼🙏👍
Not exactly true, in some people yes but not most. And where did you get 67 specifically from?
George started body building since idk 20-30 years ago? Even competed I believe. And looks like he still does. So i think he's been keeping in shape and healthy.
@@obiwan5999 pretty easy to figure out with Wikipedia and the Internet, he is 67 years old
@@scottydog62 Not exactly what I asked, where does it say the body slows down at 67?
@@obiwan5999 Oh I get what you asked,
but like he said "Usually" the body at 67 is starting to slow down,meaning for most people,that would be a fair statement, But George doesn't look like he is suffering from slowing dexterity , tendonitis or arthritis by that performance haha
lynch is always improving and i love it. a guitar player of his calibre is always fun to watch.
Holy crap this guy will be in the metal history forever
The tone, the chops, expressive vibrato, unique licks, that undiscribeable feel of Lynch has been such a huge influence for so long, always so cool
I can't believe they are finally back together after all this time
No other guitarist has inspired my playing more then George Lynch. Thanks, George, my 🎸 hero.
Dokken was one of my favorite bands. George still killing it. Wish Don didn’t destroy his voice. Wish the original band staid together.
Unfortunately Don has had a lot of medical issues. Being a aging singer myself the voice can be kept in shape but some issues are out of our control
@@Fwo919 Exactly 💯. Just like I didn't "destroy" my back and wrists as I was dealt THAT hand, keeping me from drumming anymores as well 😞😮💨. EVERY ONE of us as human beings are dealt certain and different cards. With some (as myself) it comes to THAT point where it simply isn't meant ta be.... So now, I just have to enjoy it all from the side stage etc. and be thankful I am even STILL alive, especially after my previous journey in life 😎. Rock the funk ON! 🤘🎸🥁 🔥🤘
George is still a masterful talent!!!
I was an absolute Dokken fan, back in the day! When they went separate ways, I found George's Lynch Mob, they were what Dokkens next album should have been. River of love, one of my faves!
Totally agree
Check out Up From The Ashes, the REAL Dokken follow up
You mean “Up from the ashes”?!
@@Horrorfreak106 😶 Hahaha 🤣... Yeah, if you are a Don DOKKEN fan I guess....😒 Amazing musicianship etc obviously on that, I just thought it was way too poppy rock IMO.. It's "obvious" by the Don DOKKEN solo album and Lynch Mob debut who was about REAL R-n-R 😏 🤘🔥🤘
@@Horrorfreak106 ⁿ
George Lynch plays incredible. I could listen to him play all night.
ya know some folks wither away, some just quit. but even after all the major health issues Don has dealt with I commend him. I'm a singer who has toured night after night recorded albums, signed a minor record deal so it's what I did. now at 50 i still play a full schedule in my home state. 1 maybe 2 times a week. it's tuff to pull off songs from when I was 20 or even 30 and shoot in my early 40s. not to many folks can maintain there voice after all them years. my point is he KNOWS he is a shell of his earlier self. but has the guts to continue his love for music. so I commend him for what he's doing. plus it's all he knows and believe it or not he has bills to pay to. I'd rather see him giggin than sitting in a chair waiting for the end. rock n roll forever Don.
I love the freestyle bluesy tune they just came up with on the spot
Shows how talented George and Don really are
Unbelievable and undeniable chemistry.
I love these guys, and George Lynch is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Just amazing.
Been listening to Wicked Sensation Album by Lynch Mob lately on repeat. George's guitar playing on it is incredible
Give "Smoke and Mirrors " a listen.
Personally, I wish George would make instrumental albums... I like everything he's done but I think he would benefit from no singers
I was at this show and when they did the free form it was so awesome seeing the chemistry and I wish these guys would continue to make music together
They did not like each other.
@@hanc37 I don’t know if it’s personal, their egos are just too big to share a stage.
What does lying on the internet to complete strangers do for you?
@@travisgoesthere lol whos lying?
@@Loud_Kloudz obviously you are lmao
George Lynch the master of the guitar...there will never be another like him!
master of using effect and amps to sound good!
I'm very sorry but the real master for me it's a guy who can controll his own sound on stage.Check Tony Iommi for exemple.He is not a virtuoso but i know control his sound and the volume on stage are perfect all the time.Georges don't care to bass player , he don't care of singer too.Me myself and i.He is the only guitar player.By chance they don't have a second player.Ouch man.
@@jakejohnson7714 Is that why EVERYONE great in the guitar world cites him as a great player?
@@josepharchuleta3129 Not everyone! Go see Petrucci/Gilbert/Vai and then compare them to Lynch. Hes a good player but if he were handed a Vai or Dream Theater song to play he would ruin it, as he did on this occasion! Petrucci is tonally insane and his phrasing and overall chops are light years ahead of what Lynch has in his shed! Gilbert? Lynch couldnt carry his gig bag! And Vai? Dont even go there. Lynch is like a high school jam band kid compared to the REAL greats! EVH? Govan? Too many to name.
@@stephaneaudet Lynch has about three licks that he uses all the time, and chooses to overuse them all the time! Tooth and Nail was groundbreaking, but once you get what he does its just like a cut and paste all over the place. He’s a great player, but this video doesn’t show it very well!
When George plugs in there's no guessing who it is .
💯
At least the drummer was playing Kiss of Death. Not sure about anyone else
lol. True. George refuses to play Dokken stuff 'correctly' since he left the band so long ago. He is very stubborn.
So I'm not the only one that heard that ???? That was brutal to listen to
i agree with you. It's also a royal pain in the ass for every other member of the band, especially the vocalist, to keep their place in the song when the only melody instrument is only playing the actual song every 5th measure. I love George, he and Randy are why I picked up the guitar in the first place....but I wanted to whip his ass on KoD and my name's not Don Dokken.
Thank you for letting me know I’m not crazy. After reading so many of the previous comments I was wondering if I was the only one. Don’t get me wrong though. George is still one of my all time favorites.
@@fredarnautjr9414 Reminds me of when we let a guy on stage okay that thought he could shred. We literally had to yank the cable out of my effects rack to stop the insane wanking on my 7 string. As it turned out the dude had never played a 7 and thought the low B was the E string. Hmmmm dont ask to play if you cant hang!
Wow - wild playing by George - love it. Playing like his life depended on it and digging in hard. A lesson I think for the youngsters today who have the technique but maybe not so much this innate fire that comes from somewhere else.......
Dokken ruled my tape deck and CD player back when I was in high school. EVH was my favorite guitar player until I heard George. Then it was George. Then EVH. Then George. I'm pretty sure these are my top 2. George has collaborated with many musicians, but one I would love to see him do something with is Sammy Hagar. So out of the box for both. But Sammy worked with Satriani and that turned out well.
Me, too. Until I heard John Sykes. Then George and Ed both took a back seat. 🤘
@@codacreator6162 I can respect that. Mr. Sykes is definitely in my top 5. He's a legend for sure.
George is playing to and for Don. There is an admiration there, of a human that just really wants his old buddy to come out on top. George, and Don, you are both amazing.
None of that is true at all these are two guys who absolutely hate each other they always have throughout the entire history of the band George and Don have hated each other and only got back together for money
George is a beast 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸I'm so glad I got see him play back in the day 84'85' 87'88'&2002 in Vegas beyond awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘
That. Fucking. Tone. 🤘🏻
Awesome vid! Thank you! I was lucky enough to see the classic Dokken lineup in 1995 and again in '97. I still keep on Rockin' With Dokken!!
George to this day inspires me....GREATLY!
George created his own genius tones. His signature sound to hard rock is undeniable.
Man….He’s still got it. Amazing player!!
I love the super loud guitar mix in this video. Didn't really need any vocals
exactly my thought haha
But the rest of the band needed turned up at least a little. 🤔
@@fredarnautjr9414 no way, I came to hear George ,and I was not disappointed , Except When heaven comes down , I've heard better solos from him but that's what you get from George total surprise and mystery , Otherwise I love this video,the guy isn't showing any signs of tendonitis or arthritis
was thinking damn all guitar either way why I'm watching lol
He's so awesome on guitar probably the best out today
Great performance! So good to see them in action once-again! Loved them since "Tooth and Nail".
You're PHENOMENAL, George!!! ❤🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸
George is a killer guitarist. To bad don can't sing like he used to. Guys put it all out there for sure. Love their stuff.
George’s Kamikaze was and always will be my favorite guitar!
For me it was the screamin' deamon guitar!
What's the screamin demon guitar?
George is the man! Him and Warren are my favorite guys in my top 10
That is one of the greatest tones I’ve ever heard.
Damn, George is playing like he is totally possessed! His ability, technique, passion is shining through like a laser burning the hardest METAL!
Except that nothing sounds like it was recorded.
Thank you for posting this!!! :)
The camera and audio is focused on George. A guitar genius. A rock and roll brother
He let me see his back.
WOW!!! I Am Old, Lynch Was My Mentor, Him And Randy Rhodes.
I Always Strived To Play Like Them.

"Long Live The 80's"
Wow....... just WOW!!!! George and Don back together!!!.... Thank you for sharing!!!! Just missing Jeff and Wild Mick
In addition to many, many other guitar skills Lynch is a master of using the G chord.🎸
best mix ever. george lynch is the most succeful of the 80s guitarists. Hes still alive. healthy AF and playing like he is in his 20s. FKN AMAZING
Vinnie Vincent
He looks fantastic. Like a slightly up-aged Geralt of Rivia. Those fingers haven't aged a day, though.
I was there. Great show and loved opening with this number.
I was there at this show at the Arcada Theatre. 👍🏼
George is amazing
Incredible is all I need to say! 👍🥁🤘🎸😎
As a Dokken fan since 1981 I approve this video!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
10000% amen brother.
The last of the 3 kings from California; Eddie, Randy, and now the last man standing; George Lynch.
"Long Live - Mr. Scary! 🙏
Got to meet George in the 80’s and was most impressed by how friendly he was. It’s my humble opinion that George Lynch is Dokken.
LUVED When Heaven Comes Down & Freeform Jam..
George is the G.O.A.T.
Very good Dokken 🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵hard rock 80 years
Tonemasta! Alone Again is such a passionate solo! My favorite.....
George. My. All time. Fav
nice, pure Lynch guitar recording, really reflects what you're doing when you're on stage "just playing guitar". Fantastic!
Beyond killer 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸 pure shredding 🤘🎸🎸🎸
george one of my fav axemen in the 80s
George is playing to his own drummer these days.
I'm watching Kiss of Death...what is he even playing?? How much flare does he need to add to the uniform?? Just play the song...
@@aittalamusic Agree. Don’s like…..this is why I hate you.
@@aittalamusic Can you ever have enough flair?
I agree, he is playing too many solo overtones instead of the actual guitar riff in the song.
Dokken just never got to the elite level! But I accept them!
I went to a Dokkan concert in Tulsa Oklahoma a long time ago. Got thrown out for fighting. Loved them so much I broke into the back of theater and ended up taking one of Don's microphones home from backstage where I watched 90% of show til security saw me again. Had to go! Lol 😂😂
Why does everyone hate on Don Dokken? He's out there doing what he loves to do, giving the guys in his band steady paychecks....let's hear anybody sound as good at singing as they did 40 years ago, after going through hell healthwise....HATERS CAN SUCK IT!
George has still super super good tech.
this guy is amazing lol it’s remarkable and his sound is beyond like kamikaze
And even he is mentioned that helping and covering while don Doken sing
Ladies and gentlemen you asked me so much who's you're favorite or favorites this band helped ease the pain I lost my band well my favorite guitar player in 70 s Mr RONNIE MONTROSE had started gamma with Fitzgerald but I did get to see Ronnie after night ranger was going OVER WELL but loosing my mother was bad I needed just to find a magic kick ass a AMAZING BAND. DOKKEN FULL OF FIRE George Lynch wtf nedd I say my GUITAR quit weeping too THANK YOU DON AND GEORGE
Freeform Jam ROCKS!
George......what a bad ass. Don...........another story.....
I think that George Lynch is the most by far the best guitarist.
eddie van halen is the goat
@@lisarabideau7114 thanks for your opinion
The Lynch tone is like a buzz saw with titanium teeth cutting through everything. The vibrato and pinch harmonics are legendary and easy to recognize when you hear it. He’s a blues player who can switch to hair band shredder with a flip of the switch!
A blues player? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love George, but a blues player? 🤣🤣🤣 Are you high?
@@Nghilifa Nope. There's always been Blues in George's technique, just like there has been in almost all of the greatest players from that era. The overall theme is metal, sure, but it's the Blues techniques he brings into his style that get you right in all the feels. Lynch, Slash, Gilmour, Lukather - the list goes on and on of legendary rock / metal lead guitars that let the Blues shine in their sound.
with age George Lynch remains as rocky as 40 years ago, his melodic speed unmatched.
Man loving the free for .. longtime fan ..wowwww
There's more cool in Mr. Scary's pinky on his pick hand than the best 100 guitarists that have come out of the scene in the last 20 years. If you could even name that many. lol
Awesome TY
3:32 The Witcher in da house, shredding his axe after slaying the monsters with the sword before the show
Good Stuff!!!
Long Live The 80's
Love Dokken; always have since the beginning of the 1980s!!!!! LOVE DOKKEN!!!!!!!!
I’ve known George since before Dokken ever got big. I was good friends with their manager David. George is definitely one of the most underrated guitar players around because he shreds.
George is still one of my favorite guitar players. He makes guitars now.
It’s the Hell Freezes Over tour for Dokken! Love to see these guys together!!
Thank God you can mostly hear George!
One of my favorite bands growing up. I know, i"m in the minority but I'd be willing to see them even if they did some "Kiss Magic" (saw them in Japan 2019) on Don's voice. George is a monster but my old school brain needs to hear Don's voice with George shredding.
George is a guitar god enough said.....
yes he is, he's definitely the star of this band Don dokken has the name but his vocals have always seemed a bit weak in my opinion. those people in the crowd are reacting to the guitar more than dons vocals
The free form is the best I’ve seen don and lynch together in a long time.. wow fantastic 40 year dokken fan.. just awesome
I love George Lynch, I was a teen in the 80s and watched every vid debut on MTV. I was a budding guitar player of 2 years, as well. Despite my enormous love, it drives me f ing insane when he adds tons of schitt to songs. I want to hear him play his solos and licks EXACTLY the way I spent hours learning them.
happy to see lynch so well. joe
George you're still a beast, fuck yea man just unplug Don and Crank up George!!
AWESOME video of the George Lynch BAND!
I love the way Lynch plays the guitar I knew a guy who come close to play the guitar like George but no no one like him he is another one of my favorite guitarist 🎸👠🎸
James Hetfield was just on staging saying he was worried at his age he couldn't play anymore..Lynch is almost 10 years older and still shredding
James will be just fine. Can't wait for 2 nights of METALLICA in September!!!!
I can't believe they're still alive and playing together again.
Once again I just have to admit it! I don't care who you are and who your number one is, the fact of the matter is long live Mr Scary!
Don doesn't know where to be with a god like George playing like that. OMFG
Great band , George is Amazing as guitarist, hit songs forever
This isn't the Dokken I knew, It's time to Retire guy's, I hang with Wild Mick he is Officially Retired...
Is he still in Arizona?
Had no idea back in 80s that George was a Witcher as well as guitar great
George Lynch is really The show
You we've with George 50yrs'The Love Is Genuine
Sad to see Don not being able to sing anymore, he should maybe stop now.
Lynch has always been my favourite guitarist, he still nails it.
DON. ❎
THIRDFISH☑️ ON VOCAL
george lynch still is God of guitar
