    If this is true, I'm in morning. One of the hottest!!

    I wasn't into the LM stuff at all, but he truely ripped on the DOKKEN
    material!

    Can someone confirm this??
    
    I also heard he was being looked at for the Chili Peppers
    guitarist slot (imagine that?).

I'm not as familiar with the Dokken material as I am Lynch Mob, but I love
Lynch Mob, he smoked. Truely a great player and after reviewing his lesson
tape I could tell he layed back when appropriate and was musical rather then
just churn and burn. I was looking forward to another Lynch Mobb album which
I thought should have been due soon...

Has anyone heard his solo, I think it's call "Exotic eroitica"?

I may have to get a copy

    I don't know if they considered him or not, but I do know that the
    Chili's have already gotten a new guitar player.  Saw it on MTV News
    last weekend.  It wasn't Lynch and I don't remember his name...

    I have an old Dokken video (aprox. 1 hour) & his playing is good, but
    doesn't stand out like on the later stuff.
    Gee, I hope he's still alive.

    I saw Dokken open up for Triumph in '83 and they were really good.  It
    was right after they released Tooth and Nail (I think, maybe the one
    before that).  I was very impressed.

    I saw Bon Jovi open for Triumph around '85, & they were not too
    impressive even for an opening act. 
    
    Paul

    I saw Lynch with Dokken (who were opening for LoverBoy - what a joke).
    They were MOST rulin'.  I'd say thats what got me into metal to begin
    with...  Believe it or not, I used to HATE metal.

    What's the name of the Dokken song where he comes crashing through the
    wall for the guitar solo in the MTV video ? I think he was using the
    "skull" guitar. The title is something about "dreams" I think.
    That was the first time I flipped over this band.
    
    Paul

    
    That song was called Breakin The Chains.
    
    Good solos by Lynch: - Wicked Sensation - 1st LM
                         - All I Ever Wanted - 2nd LM

    A friend of mine is George's neighbor.

    I saw Dokken again on the first Monsters of Rock tour (with VH
    headlining) and they sucked.  The broke up right after the tour and the
    show I saw was one of the last ones.  It was like the people in the
    band didn't even acknowledge that the others were on the same stage
    playing the same songs.  Bored me to death.

    I am also a big Dokken fan.  Last I heard, George Lynch was "hoping"
    that Dokken could get things back together.  
    
    From the Immortal words of Jeff Pilson "We were going to call the band
    the Perisian Gentlemen, but, Dokken rhymed with Rockin'"
    
    Any more on this rumor?

Bummer.,,,,   proof once again though that mortality afflicts all of
us...

I had a few Dokken albums, I liked his style.....


Nothing will ever effect me like Steve Ray's untimely death...

There was a followup thread in rec.music.makes that makes it appear that this
was just a bogus rumor....


COOL!

    I agree with Bob Durham that the vid you are thinking of is
    Breaking The Chains - He was running around un-chaining his
    band mates by smacking his (skull-ESP) and breaking the chains.
    
    They also had a video called "In My Dreams" which is what made me 
    buy the album - It's got the band playing in the rain (zap!).
    Cool toon!
    
    Then there was "It's Not Love" which has the band on a trailer
    truck cruising down Sunset Blvd. in H-wood.  Cool vids!
    
    Lynch really shined with early Dokken, but got a little bit into
    rehashing the same old tricks with LynchMob, IMHO.  L-M was still
    more popular though.
    
    jc (Lynch fan)
    

    It was either "Breaking the Chains" or "In My Dreams". The problem is
    that the video I have has both of these tunes & neither one has that
    scene. I think it's different from the MTV video. It may also be a
    different version of the song(s) because I don't recall the "smokin'"
    solo from the vid. I'll have to check it out again soon.
    
    So, what's the *real* story? Is Lynch still alive or what ?
    
    Don't lie to me, 'cuz I'll call him up myself if I have to!

    I saw him both with Lynch Mob and with Dokken.Neither I thought was all
    that good.The Dokken show was really pretty bad,their sound,in fact,
    was bloody aweful!

    Hey, a couple of weeks ago, my wife got me some discounted CD's without
    knowing what they really were. One was Patty Smyth's first solo album
    "Never Enough", GREATTTT ! The other one which she bought because of
    the picture on the cover (!) I just got around to listening to .... 
    "Wicked Sensation" by Lynch Mob. I had to explain who George Lynch was
    (is) while it was playing. The album had only a few memorable tunes on it, 
    but the guitar work was axcellent !

    I know that in the "In my dreams" song/video, there IS a smoking solo...
    he does a little decending scale run that screams, great sounding solo
    also...

    Fellow Lynch Fans,
         I'm feeling pretty strongly that this is just another
    ugly rumor going around. I haven't heard one word on the radio.
    It would be all over the air if it were true. I heard he's working
    on a solo effort....
