George Lynch (born September 28, 1954) is an American hard rock guitarist and songwriter. Lynch is best known for his work with heavy metal band Dokken and his band Lynch Mob. Lynch is considered to be one of the most influential and famous 80's metal guitarists. He is known for his unique playing style and sound. He is ranked #68 on "100 greatest guitarists of all time" by Guitar World magazine and is also ranked #10 on "Top 10 Metal Guitarists of All Time" by Gibson.
Early life
Lynch was born in Spokane, Washington and raised in the small town of Auburn, California. Great White guitarist Mark Kendall claims George started two-hand tapping before Eddie Van Halen did. Twice Lynch auditioned for the position of Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist, once in 1979 – losing to Randy Rhoads – and another time in 1982 to replace Brad Gillis. According to Lynch, he was hired for three days before Ozzy changed his mind and decided to go with Jake E. Lee. Lee, however claims that Lynch "got the gig, but only went on the road for two weeks to watch the show, and never actually played with Ozzy." Lynch looks back on the situation positively though; he has said "I won the consolation prize. Randy got to tour with Ozzy...and I got to teach at his mom's school."
Lynch played in a late 1970s band called The Boyz, working the Sunset Strip clubs in L.A., alongside some of their contemporaries like Van Halen and Quiet Riot. The Boyz were to play a showcase for Gene Simmons of Kiss and his startup label. Van Halen opened the show and Gene opted not to stay and see The Boyz. After this he formed Xciter before joining Dokken.
George John Lynch, Sr. (June 20, 1918–May 7, 1997) was an American race car driver.
George John Lynch was born in Miles City, Montana to John James Lynch and Violet Parks. Enduring a rough childhood that saw his parents divorce, he was reared by his mother's grandparents in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, where Lynch bought a used open-wheel race car for $100 and began racing, even before obtaining his civilian driver's license.
Lynch's racing career spanned three decades, from 1935 through 1957. He completed over 300 races, primarily in open-wheel "midget" and "sprint" cars on small tracks primarily in the midwestern United States. Lynch won few of his races but, in his own words, "pushed a lot of guys over the finish line." His aggressive driving style, characterized by bumping slower cars, earned him nicknames such as "Leadfoot Lynch" and "Red Devil."

Why does Don Dokken continue to tour when his voice is 100% shot? Does he need the money? #dokken
It's no secret that Don Dokken's voice has been terrible for several years now. It just seems to get worse and worse every year. And he does not seem to enjoy the shows. He looks bored, tired, and uninterested. If this is the case, why does Don continue to do live shows? Does he actually need the money? Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

George Lynch "Trident" Instrumental

This is a song that was released on an instrumental EP available only from George Lynch's website. The title for this song on that EP was "Hang 'em High", although members of his guitar Dojo said it has a different name, it is called 'Trident' as the opening intro to one his newer guitar videos, Wicked Riffs. Enjoy while you can, it'll probably get deleted! I wanted to share this rare, and cool Lynch instrumental, hopefully he has more stuff like this in the works! This song was renamed and released on GL's Legacy CD

Oh no! Oh no! Here we go now (Here we go now) Oh no! Oh no! Here we go now! Got a crazy feeling I don't understand Gotta get away from here Feelin' like I should have kept my feet on the ground Waitin' for the sun to appear Mamma's gonna worry I've been a bad bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy Cause you can't see what my eyes see (I can see it, I can see it) And you can't be inside of me Flying high again I can see through mountains Watch me disappear I can even touch the sky Swallowing colors of the sound I hear Am I just a crazy guy (you bet) Momma's gonna worry I've been a bad bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy If you could be inside my head You'd see that black and white is read Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again C'mon and join me Solo Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again C'mon and join me Oh no! (Oh no!) Here we go now (Here we go now) Oh no! (Oh no!) Here we go now Daddy thinks I'm lazy He don't understand Never saw inside my head People think I'm crazy But I'm in demand Never heard a think I said Momma's gonna worry I've been a bad bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again
