"you shook me"...george lynch from the album " furious george "

one of my favourite axe men..mr scary himself...check out lynch`s versions of "all along the watchtower " and " bridge of sighs "....

" George Lynch was born on September 28, 1954 in Spokane, WA. and raised in California. As a small child, George Lynch would run around his parent's home with a broomstick, pretending to play the guitar. Eventually, by the age of 10, his parents would buy an acoustic guitar for him, and he began to learn.

After working the garage and basement band circuit and paying his dues, George met drummer Mick Brown through Sargeant Rocks, a glam band that he had been invited to join. The pair complimented each other so well that they have continued to play together, until recently. Together, they played in several L.A. bands, such as Xciter and The Boyz, and George quickly gained a cult-like following that was comparable to that of Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. In fact, when Randy left to join Ozzy Osbourne's band, he chose George to take his place as music teacher at his mother's music shop. It wasn't long after that, however, that Lynch and Brown were invited to join Don Dokken's band, Dokken.

Dokken had already secured a record deal with a European label, and both Lynch and Brown gladly accepted the deal.

Much of Dokken's success is credited to George Lynch's guitarmanship and songwriting. He recorded five highly successful albums from 1983 to 1988 with that band to propelhim as one of the most influential guitarists in modern music. Another distinction that separates him from others of this genre is that his guitar playing earned Dokken a Grammy nomination in 1989 for Best Rock Instrumental. Even Van Halen had yet to receive any nomination at this time.

George's tenure with Dokken ended in 1989 and he was set to begin again. With the new decade came a new Lynch. A bolder stylist and more knowledgeable guitarist was found in him, as he formed the first incarnation of Lynch Mob. Recording two albums with this band, and going back on the road to support them kept Lynch in the public eye. But he was yearning for a further approach to the guitar. While still promoting his work with Lynch Mob, he began work on a solo endeavor titled, "Sacred Groove."

"Sacred Groove" was released in 1993 and it afforded Lynch the capacity to display different musical and guitar styles. He clearly established himself as an eclectic musician with this volume of work. Having satisfied this, George Lynch decided to take a few years off to spend time with his children and enjoy life for a while in Arizona. He became athletic and established a healthy lifestyle that he maintains to this day.

Lynch Mob broke up, and Dokken reformed for a short period in 1995.

George Lynch remains one of the great rock stylists and guitarists of our time and continues to forge ahead and explore various new territories of rock musical styles and tone......

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
