I love George Lynch, a lot. He's one of my favorites. But come on, people, let's get real here. George did NOT want to be in Dokken at the time of this tour and Reb was hired to do a job. Although they are distinctly different players, but share a sense of style that is unique to them. He was not a Lynch clone, but this was some downright ferocious guitar playing. You can't deny Reb's talent. Respect.
Agree. The aggravating thing with George is not wanting to duplicate their recordings live. Btw, in no way am I suggesting Reb could be George. He's simply a great player that will at least commit to trying to hold true the recognized solos...
Biggest Lynch fan but totally respect Reb. Whats weird about Lynch is he nails certain solos and others he's way off. I'm not necessarily saying he was performing a horrible solo live, more like ad libbing.
Thanks for acknowledging that it was George who didn't want to be in Dokken. If you know the whole story it's impossible not to take Don's side in the feud. George is (was?) a phenomenal guitarist but he is a toxic human being. The fact that Jeff and Mick sometimes back up George's side doesn't mean a thing. Breaking the Chains was a solo album and none of the other members liked the fact that Don could make music 90% as good without them. He proved this irrefutably on Up from the Ashes and in many live performances.
Very, very few of the elite names in shred can perform to this level in a live situation. Beach is as good as a guitarist can actually get in terms of performance.
There are a lot of talented guitar players out there, but Beach is "special". Everything he plays is clean and precise. I've never heard him hit a bad note before.
Lynch wrote those blistering solos so he gets the nod every time, but RB showed that he can waltz up and down those solos without breaking much of a sweat. Not many can do that...which speaks to RB massive talents.
Thank you for sharing this compilations of Reb Beach doing the guitar solos for Dokken live.. he is an amazing guitarist..he did a great job delivering all the solo parts. Really professional live performances. Even his vibrato is so similar with Lynch here
You know Reb Beach and George Lynch then just pass off Pilson as the bass player?? Dude show some respect!! Jeff Pilson is everything to Dokken, to Dio in the 90’s, to Black Swan and Revolution Saints and The End Machine currently!!!
From a technical standpoint Reb crushed Lynches solo's, period. His tap style is so impressive, his triplets n quads crush most other players because of his right hand technique. Of course he's not going to play Lynch's solo's with the same feel as the creator of those solo's, but the sad fact is he destroy's them technically. And I love that interview and what he says about Kirk Hammett, so true. This guy is so completely underrated it's tragic.
I absolutely love both George Lynch and Reb Beach's guitar playing. Reb definitely did justice to all the songs. I enjoy listening to both Beast From The East because of George and Live From The Sun because of Reb.
Awesome!!! I never really gave too much attention to Reb, but I love George Lynch. Reb put his own seasoning on some of my favorite G.L. solo's, and it is beautiful!! NEW REB BEACH FAN!!
Just because he's replacing G.Lynch doesnt mean he has to copy every single aspect of him. Rob is genuinely a great and talented guitarist, and he's putting effort to fill for George, and in my opinion he's doing a great job. I was listening to the video while doing other work and whenever I get carried, it feels like im listening to George, and I only realize its rob when i get back to the video
I was there one night in PA. He's better than most people think. He played flawless it was so heavy. Don't forget heaviest rhythm section best drummer. It was a great show.
I LOVED Dokken with Reb Beach as the guitarist. I saw Reb in Dokken twice and his playing was FIRE. The "Erase the Slate" album would have sold millions if it had been released in the 80's. Reb is one of the true originals in the rock guitar world. He sounds like no one else and no one else sounds like him! If you haven't heard the "Erase the Slate" album, you owe it to yourself to hear it. Reb is astonishing on the album. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/AKI4eanG4t0/w-d-xo.html Here's the link to the Dokken live DVD with Reb. Amazing concert. th-cam.com/video/GAHGiVsk9ek/w-d-xo.html
Never knew who the hell reb beach was until early this year at download festival when he played with whitesnake. After getting back from the weekend, he was so good I had to look him up instantly.there was only one other guitarist that whole weekend who came close to his talent and sound. That person was John petrucci. Reb has to be in my top 5 live players I've ever seen, And that was before I knew who he was.
Been a Dokken, Lynch fan from the beginning and still am. Reb did do a great job in his stay with Dokken, and Jon Levin is doing a great job at recreating George's solos with the same tone and style George created them with.
Me too! 2003ish I bought this DVD and was shocked not to see Lynch. But Reb blew me away! I quickly got into Winger and his other works! Top 5 player on my list.
I am a Big George Lynch fan, ... But ..Reb Beach took it to another phase that George didn't go to.. This is the Best version of DOKKEN I have witnessed! 3:)
I love Reb's playing. I love George's playing. I enjoy music and to me it's not a contest so I can like both players and not feel obligated to choose who I think is better. Reb did a great job stepping into this spot.
@THRUTHESEEYES Agreed. In my opinion, Reb is one of those guys who can replace the greats of any hard rock band and also checking his CV: Winger, Alice Cooper, Night Ranger, Whitesnake, Dokken is a proof of how much talented he is and not to mention all the sessions he's done in numerous albums.
there is not a video of Lynch playing anywhere on youtube that sounds half that good... best version of Whitesnake, best version of Dokken. He had kickass solos in Winger. Dude is talented beyond belief. awesome live guitarist, who cares if he is a hired gun... the best live version of whatever band he has joined. Ritchy Kotzen also.
Hold on there, Reb is a great player, but the fact is he's an imitator, not an innovator.. That's why you don't see lynch, or Campbell playing his solos. I'll give you that Lynch isn't as good as he used to be, not sure why, but life has a way of kicking us in the nuts.. Both Reb, and Lynch are truly outstanding players, but in reality only one is the innovator.. Here's a clip of Lynch in his prime.. Back for the Attack IMHO was Lynch's last, best work... th-cam.com/video/qgzjtAo60ug/w-d-xo.html
He already got so much undeserved hate for Winger, live him alone, he's an amazing guitarist. George is one of my favorite guitarists, but he's hit or miss, sometimes he sounded crappy live, he's messy. I think Reb is better live. He's more focused and tight. They're just different.
@@siotichiu9408 His studio performances are not messy. They are anything but messy. Live performances, you get guys who may be high or something else. The venues are often enormous open spaces with poor acoustics. And George seemed to play with way more effects in live situations. Too much. That muddles the sound and kills a lot of clarity. There is footage of him playing in a studio with the sound mixer in there with him. It is phenomenal playing and is not messy.
Old Reb is very good.i couldn't play that way with a thousand years of trying.the train has left the station for me.I'm well and trueley stuck in the box but it's a nice box.
It’s hard to believe going back to the days of mtv when winger first came out with Madeline and seventeen watching reb just killing it back then during the hairband pretty boy days and watching him grow as a guitarist over the years….he can play anything and look like a genius and looks so effortless. All the great compliments people have written here is just a testament to how amazing he is as a guitarist and maybe he’s underrated by the critics but he’s definitely not underrated by the true fans of Reb!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Okay, let me sum it up for all of you. No one is ever going to sound like Lynch, period. He has his own unique style, and that's what sets him apart from other guitarists. He was my biggest influence growing up. That being said, Reb does an excellent job filling in and is one of the most talented guitarists around. The ones who slam Reb are obviously clueless and need to have their hearing checked. I think we can all agree that both players are phenomenal in their own right.
It's similar to when Vivian Campbell was back playing those solos from the first few Dio albums in recent years after towing the line in Def Lep, but at the same different in that Campbell wrote those Dio solos. Still though, as @chefgaryklein7551 put it below: "he does justice to the Lynch solos with his own style, it’s killer...". Like a wild animal out of the cage and unleashed upon the audience, he shreds. I come back here (or he algorithm brings me back) every few months once my face has healed; my face just melted off again. Okay, I'm all out of guitar shredder cliches...see you in a few months.
I'm not a Dokken fan and I wouldn't have even discovered this video if it wasn't for Cracked, but this guy rocks, big time! I can barely make it through 6 minutes of wankery of the more "official" guitar heroes like Vai, Satriani and especially Malmsteen, but this was such an emotional and vivid display of shreddery that listening to it was pure joy.
I saw an interview with Reb Beach recently (YT) and he was asked about his influences on the guitar. I was blown away when he did not mention Eddie Van Halen. Jeez, RB plays guitar and all I want to do is start looking up EVH videos!
People forget Reb can play fast as hell without all the tapping, even though he does that well. Always wanted to see the other Lynch solos he covered. Great clip.
I used to think Reb was overrated but now I realize he's not only a very talented player, but live he's more consistent and more technical than George. Maybe that's because George doesn't have any formal training? Could be, because my lack of much training leads to inconsistent lead playing too.
George is a VERY unique player to emulate. Rob on the other hand is such a monster himself he gets the point across with confidence. he keeps crucial parts of the soloing as they should be to make sense and then he explodes in is own right to metal the faces...A superb player!!!!!
Yes, Reb is a great performer. I saw him with Whitesnake in 2015. I've seen George live as well. To me just different a approach to them live. As you know studio recording is a lot different than live, it's almost impossible to match it note for note. I've been playing guitar for 60 years and I never play a solo the same, especially if it's difficult to reproduce live. I love both of them, but for me, being a huge Lynch fan, I've got to go with him.
Dude, Just had to comment, even though this is an older post. I saw this tour live (St. Louis), and this show you have posted, is available on DVD. It is phenomenal. Pick it up if you don’t own it. Prepare to be amazed. Poster is spot on. I love George Lynch. One of the greats. But give credit where credit is due. Reb Beach absolutely shreds! If you don’t like Winger because you thought it was uncool, well I guess you never really listened to it. Red Beach is a mega talent. Back about 1989, I had the pleasure of seeing a triple bill with Tangier, Extreme, and Winger. Nuno and Reb sharing the same stage...mind blowing. Another incredible guitarist that got passed over because of the band he was in...Vito Bratta. If you’re not familiar with his solos from White Lion...damn, you’re in for a treat. Nobody, and I mean nobody, plays like this guy. Thanks for posting. And thanks for sharing!
The only Dokken live show I'll ever return to. At least Reb played a recognizable version of the song live and sounds great...everybody on fire here. Any live recordings I've ever seen from the classic four just haven't stacked up...almost tragically bad somehow.
George is a really cool dude. Humble as they come. He OPENED for my band a couple years ago for SXSW. I expected a pompous attitude and a huge ego. I was totally wrong. He stood their eating tacos while we played. Liked us as much as we liked his band.
Wow!! I can’t believe all of the whining about who is the better guitarist playing these solos. Do you realize that at the time this video was shot, George Lynch did not want to be a part of Dokken? Reb Beach did us all a favor by stepping into Lynch’s shoes so that we could still enjoy hearing these songs live. It’s obvious that both guys are monster guitar players and are better than 99.9% of the people leaving comments here. As a huge Dokken and Lynch fan myself, I actually prefer listening to Reb’s version. It’s a fresh take on songs that are 30 years old. Enjoy them both and Instead of spending time whining about who’s better, pick up your guitar and play along with both versions. That is All
Yes, it was made by Ibanez. It was called the RBM or Voyager with different model numbers. I own the RBM 10 with upgraded components. Very nice guitars indeed.
I love George Lynch, a lot. He's one of my favorites. But come on, people, let's get real here. George did NOT want to be in Dokken at the time of this tour and Reb was hired to do a job.

Actually he was fired, because he couldn't get along with Don and lost a lawsuit against Don, Jeff, and Mick.
As a guitar teacher with a 30+ years of experience... Bow down to Reb...
Reb's tapping skills are incredible
Trem skills are godly too.
yup @chris davies I told him the same thing when I went to see his concert lol
Reb is a monster player. He does justice to the Lynch solos with his own style, it’s killer...
Reb - always full of energy yet soo very humble and modest. Long live Reb you genius beast!
I've been a Reb Beach fan ever since hearing his solo on Winger's Heading for a Heartache.
Props to Pilson for holding down that bottom end like a champ
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you
@@rebbeach6549 naw
Reb goes down in my book as one of the best guitarist of all time. So underrated!!
@Mick Cripzzz I will never be close to these guys as a player but I do record. Check out my latest video... th-cam.com/video/Qr5RHFCT-b4/w-d-xo.html
Reb is the gunslinger of guitar 🎸
Very, very few of the elite names in shred can perform to this level in a live situation. Beach is as good as a guitarist can actually get in terms of performance.
I saw him live once and he is as good as it gets. I've seen malmsteen via van Halen lynch Gilbert . they all are amazing and reb is just as good
Sick, just sick. Technical ability like very few others, has every technique in his arsenal. Monstrous guitarist.
Reb just rocks, hands down. The guy is straight hardcore guitar and doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Reb Beach is an AMAZING guitarist! 'World Class' all the way.
Reb is just sooo smoooth..... love his playing! Great tone too
Props to Pilson for laying down them grooves....This vid has great audio quality
Reb is sooo fucking talented! Thanks for post! fucking awesome!!
Geezus.......Reb is an absolute monster player!
Yeah! Dude's a freakin' BEAST!!!
No doubt. I might even stop making fun of Winger lol
There are a lot of talented guitar players out there, but Beach is "special". Everything he plays is clean and precise. I've never heard him hit a bad note before.

My God Reb Beach is a savage , what skills a dying art! Reb Beach thank you 🙏
I love Reb and George playing, both are monsters. But I want to talk about the bass player's great job.
Jeff Pilson is great.
Jeff Pilson is why I play Bass
You know Reb Beach and George Lynch then just pass off Pilson as the bass player?? Dude show some respect!! Jeff Pilson is everything to Dokken, to Dio in the 90’s, to Black Swan and Revolution Saints and The End Machine currently!!!
Please brother Reb is a beast.

That fucking Alone Again solo. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too! 2003ish I bought this DVD and was shocked not to see Lynch. But Reb blew me away! I quickly got into Winger and his other works! Top 5 player on my list.
I got to see Reb with Dokken during this tour!! It was a great concert that I'll never forget!
Best 6 minutes spent on this day so far! Tasteful solos like always from the lord of the strings and really nice tone!
This video is testament to the power of guitar tapping and the effect it can have on a solo
I am a Big George Lynch fan, ... But ..Reb Beach took it to another phase that George didn't go to.. This is the Best version of DOKKEN I have witnessed! 3:)
REB you are a GOD. Thanks for being being a part of Fox Chapel, PA. I live there !

Exactly! You are correct!
Jim Harper just came across this what the fuck he is covering George Lynch solos and listen he is a fucking legend have some fucking Respect
Jim Harper Very true...Beach totally owns Lynch in every respect.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that Gumby. LOL burp.......
Hold on there, Reb is a great player, but the fact is he's an imitator, not an innovator.. That's why you don't see lynch, or Campbell playing his solos.

@@siotichiu9408
His studio performances are not messy. They are anything but messy. Live performances, you get guys who may be high or something else. The venues are often enormous open spaces with poor acoustics.

This is definitely worth a listen from George....th-cam.com/video/oPixKeqlg7M/w-d-xo.html
Thank Reb Beach!!!!
He's incredible 👏👏👏👏👏
GOD he plays them so perfectly ......
I was thinking exactly that. Watch both playing live. I give it Reb. Lynch live is often far off.
Did you watch the Dokken reunion footage it is bad , really really bad they sound worse than a tribute act
@@christineayres5339 the dokken reunion is terrible
Awesome...thanks for posting this!
He plays those solos well and so plays Mick and Jeff too.
Reb IS a much more competent live guitarist! On point. No slopp!
Reb Beach 👑 King 👑 on guitar
Old Reb is very good.i couldn't play that way with a thousand years of trying.the train has left the station for me.I'm well and trueley stuck in the box but it's a nice box.

Pretty killer playing from Mr. Consistency.

Vito is definitely underrated!
Reb Beach is awesome!
Yes he is dude
SUPERB! There's no music today that can compare with THIS!
George is awesome and one of my biggest influences! And so is Reb :D
Both humble guys with big talents!
George and Reb are monsters 🤘🤘 I was lucky to see Reb with Winger and Whitesnake
I love how he never sprayed his hair out like the rest
Wow, that was killer.
He doesn't phrase over the bar line like Lynch does. That was always my favorite thing about George's playing.
Jeb Throws Down When its Needed BRAVO
The only Dokken live show I'll ever return to. At least Reb played a recognizable version of the song live and sounds great...everybody on fire here. Any live recordings I've ever seen from the classic four just haven't stacked up...almost tragically bad somehow.
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear
Reb!!! It’s just real thing thanks Reb :)
Dokken was a force with Reb. The band was as tight as they ever were. Luckily we have this DVD cuz things are way different since Reb left.
Reb you`re absolutely gorgeous !!!!!! Love you!!!!
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear

What to say..... *HEAVEN SENT*! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💨👍😇👍
Awesome!!
Reb Beach simply Kicks ASS !!! 🤩🎯👍
I think I was at this show, the Sun Theater in Anaheim.
this has to be the most aggressive Reb has ever played, bad-ass!!!
Mr Scary has always been my #1 but yeah Reb rocks definitely. Up there with the best of em
Reb sounds great! He recreated George's solos. It still sounded like Dokken. Jeff's more aggressive slightly overdriven live tone works well here too.
Reb Beach is a divine Guitarplayer!
Wow!! I can’t believe all of the whining about who is the better guitarist playing these solos. Do you realize that at the time this video was shot, George Lynch did not want to be a part of Dokken? Reb Beach did us all a favor by stepping into Lynch’s shoes so that we could still enjoy hearing these songs live. It’s obvious that both guys are monster guitar players and are better than 99.9% of the people leaving comments here. As a huge Dokken and Lynch fan myself, I actually prefer listening to Reb’s version. It’s a fresh take on songs that are 30 years old. Enjoy them both and Instead of spending time whining about who’s better, pick up your guitar and play along with both versions. That is All
But you have to admit Beach is much better than Lynch.
I like the Reb Beach signature guitar (Ibanez maybe?..),...had an odd cut out behind the Floyd. Cool af,...and unique.
Yes, it was made by Ibanez. It was called the RBM or Voyager with different model numbers. I own the RBM 10 with upgraded components. Very nice guitars indeed.
