Lynch is back! With the "Mob"

[Wayniac3]

Vernon Reid should worry about cable management on his pedalboard before politics...

Funny you say that

I did a one-off gig with him about 15 years ago (cool, funny guy)... let me play his prototype Parker Fly at the time.

I almost shit myself when he had me hook up his rig.. it was off the cuff, random... it would have been NIGHTMARE to try to find out where the signal cut out if anything went wrong during that gig.

Back on the original topic- caught Lynch at a clinic & he’s playing great

I love how George has just given in no matter how hard he tries to change the band name and is back to Lynch Mob.. anyway, looks like he's gone back to Freeman for the next run of shows and the band sounds great to my ears. Even backing vocals are pretty solid. Love Freeman's singing, he's still got it. I know people love Oni but his voice is done.

I've known George since 1998 and Vernon since 2000. They're both stand up guys.

George doesn't like the name because he thinks in the modern world it will be deemed racist be "some" ... he retired it a few years ago and just used george lynch (and maybe the electric something or other..can't remember now) to bill shows and ticket sales weren't there so he started using the LM name again

Fact is , it hasn't been Lynch Mob since the first album tour ended and he got rid of Oni imo

It was actually Vernon Reed who made a big deal out of it calling George Racist for using it. Funny calling a guy with American Indian heritage racist

Vernon didn't call George a racist. He said that the name had a lot of bad connotations, and that's true. George has said so as well. I was at Henson Studios in Hollywood one day when G was recording the "How the Lynch Stole Riffness" EP and the bass player, Tracy, was black. And like I said in a previous post, George and Vernon are good people. I've know him for a long time and I can assure you that George Lynch is not a racist.

He's def not a racist, he leans way to the left if anything and is afraid to offend. But that said, it is literally his name and Lynch Mobs weren't exclusive to black people " back in the day" either. It's a great name, I am glad it has outlasted even his own shame and persevered. It is starting to be like Serena Williams ( a millionaire) offended by the look of cotton because of what it means to her people...

I'll be seeing them this weekend. Looking forward to it. Saw him last year open for Dokken and he played a few songs with them.

 

[Chris6870]

Just saw Lynch Mob. That's the name they were going by. They were good. Good to hear some old Dokken with a singer who can actually belt it out.

Funny I never thought about Lynch Mob and negative connotations, always thought about it as in “George Lynch’s band”. I guess we see what we want to see.

 

[geetarmikey]

Can understand why people think it's not the most PC name, which it isn't, but it's not really the worst either. Just can't keep up with what he's calling his band week to week

 

[JackBootedThug]

Man I need to change my name on here… not…. I hope it does offend someone… pussies….

 

[romanianreaper]

A dude we have done two gigs with just opened for Lynch Mob a week or two ago. I haven't had the chance to ask him how the show went and if he got to talk to George, etc.

 

[midnightlaundry]

You have all failed.. Your 80's card has been revoked..
Dragging a return from retirement topic into my pussy hurts because of a band name..
Mob Rules from Sabbath?? Where's your outrage now??
You all suck to even walk down that road..

 

[itsme]

Isn’t there a group of colored fellas in a band called Da Lynch Mob?

 

[jemzax]

It’s great that he’s still active and making new songs..

 

[napalmdeath]

Hilarious...as hard as George tries to retire the " Lynch Mob" brand, he just can't admit that what he wants politically just doesn't mesh with what his career expects of him and what people associate with.. ladies and gentlemen, meet Lynch ( & the ) Mob lol. Ridiculous.

He's a woke jackass. He's the only one that had a problem with "Lynch Mob" having "negative connotations". It's no secret he's a Democrat, and his ideology politics are the brand of his party, as is being woke. Its funny how they preach fighting for democracy, but afraid their first amendment rights will hurt somebody's feelings. Great guitar player, but a still a douchebag.

 

[mentoneman]

He should team up with these guys on bass and drums



seems like they would have fun just churning out riffs. add paul gilbert for leads and some fresh new talent in their 20s who can sing!

First, she needs to stop appropriating my culture by wearing that fake blonde white woman hair weave.
