George lynch was one of the best all around players in the 80s. His riffs & rhythms were so melodic yet powerful and dirty it was always a joy to listen to him. I loved the way he flowed from rhythm to lick to lead and back. I wish he would write songs like he used to.

First one says "kami" meaning "God" and the second one says "kaze" which means wind. "God wind" refers to the Typhoon that wiped out Kublai Khan's fleet when he attempted to invade Japan from Korea. The "divine wind" that saved the Japanese in the 16th century.

@mitsanut58693 жыл бұрын
I'd say he is the only shredder I ever liked. He shreds with purpose - or when it serves it's purpose. Love his style. Very recognizable, Where Steve Stevens has probably one of the, if not the most precise picking technique of all famous guitar players, George's string attack always seems to come a split second late but never out of rhythm. It might be due to combo of his picking technique and the sound he generates on his guitars. It gives his playing very unique timing and sound when put together with the rest of the band (any band he plays or has played). A very well rounded man and musician with passion to be matched

Mr. Lynch, I was a fan of yours until I seen this video. That snide comment you made concerning Capitalism and labor that turned me off big time. I had been listening to your music since I first heard you playing with dokken back in 82 or 83. I served 20 years in the U.S. military. Your guitar playing provided an escape from some shitty times in my military career and I thank you for that. You are very talented guitar player, top shelf in my prior opinion but that's over. I can NOT stand with the demoncRAT/leftist/socialist so this is why I come to a parting of the ways. I gathered up all my dokken and lynch mob cd's and snapped them in half and put them in the recycle toter. I've gotten rid of many movie dvds and music cds out of my collections where political comments have been made by actors & musicians. Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. I just don't understand why actors/musicians/etc. won't keep their mouths shut when it comes to politics. Knowing by voicing their political opinions they will alienate 1/2 of their fan base as you have done me. Why kill the goose that lays golden eggs with political views but that is your right to do so as it is the right of all Americans (which I feel is about to change drastically if the demoncRATS get complete control of the government). If I was in the entertainment field I would simply say my political views are my own and let it go at that. socialism would've never allowed you to become a millionaire but Capitalism did. If you feel so bad about the laborers in society then why don't you donate some of your millions to help them out. Put your money where your mouth is. Let them enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thx for the ride through the years! It was fun but the ride is now over and in the past. socialism = "The Kiss of Death." I leave you with this quote: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” - Winston S. Churchill

I know what he speaks of about guitars back in the 70's and 80's. If the guitar was playable and sounded great it cost way out of your price range and was dipping into college funds. I was first given to me a piece of crap old 1" thick body HORRIBLE guitar! I hated it and I lived so far from a music shop in Las Vegas that if I broke more than a string a month on that old string breaker. I had to play with what string I had left for that month. Yes Las Vegas was not like it now. Vesley's music was far down town. I had to build me a guitar I spent years on learning how to play. It actually looked horrible but it played so fucking well! I wish I still had that "Thrasher" guitar that I called it. I only have a picture of it now sitting next to me sleeping. Damn George thanks for taking me back 35 years. But thanks for also helping bring guitars to what they are today.
