He shouldve stopped his tonal quest after the purple plexi :rock:

and after the show I told him how bad the San Diego show sounded, he didn't agree with me and thought it sounded great. He's very sensitive about tone.
Bob Savage told him that it sounded like his amp was messed up the tone was so bad after a show we went to in OC. George was very nice about it, but insisted that it sounded great, he was just into less gain than when he was younger and that was why we didn't dig it. Bob assured him that this was not the case and that the amp just sounded bad... :lol: :LOL:

I saw Lynch several times back in the 80's. To me the best tone was when Dokken opened for Aerosmith on the Back for the Attack tour.
It was ripping!! :rock:

he had too much chorus going on the night I saw him open up for Aerosmith, I didn't stay for Aerosmith.

I saw them on that tour and Aerosmith ripped them a new asshole. I'm a huge Lynch fan, too. As a matter of fact, that's the only reason I went is for Dokken. I saw Areosmith's, Back in the Saddle tour and they were horrible, so I really wasn't looking forward to seeing them.

I've seen him quite a few times...he's very inconsistant. I thought he sounded great on both the Tooth and Nail and ULAK tours. He blew on Monsters of Rock although he had amp problems at the very beginning (Pittsburgh show) that delayed their start by about 15 minutes (after a recorded intro of "Without Warning" he charged out on stage, hit opening chord to the first song and...nothing :lol: :LOL: )...who knows what he ended up using that day. He sounded great on the first Lynch Mob tour, not so good on the second. Didn't see him again until a solo tour in '05 and he was so bad, playing and tone, that I walked out about 1/2 way through his set. Bummer...he was one of my biggest inspirations back in the day.
Yeah I hated his tone when they played Monster of Rock tour. It was just a thin lost signal....
Scorpions blew everyone away on that tour tone wise.
My opinion only. :D
But a good opinion it is :thumbsup: The Scorpions owned that tour IMO too. Compared to the way they brought it on the 5150 tour, VH was a big let down as well.
 
I thought Lynch's sound and approach changed alot after Back For the Attack...

He seemed to get away from his signature melodic phrasing with he right blend of chops..

From Lynch Mob and on he seemed to try to compete way to hard with the shredders and I lost interest...
 
This thread has gone alot better than the Gilbert thread, I make one comment about Lynch there and all hell broke loose :hys: :hys: :hys: :hys:

Agreed. Phase is like chorus. Really cool, but only when used sparingly/creatively.
 
I saw Dokken a few times back in the day. George had good tone. For me he always used too much delay live.
Great player though.

For me, I had a tougher time with Dokken's bass and drum tones. The drums are terrible (man that snare is awful) and the bass has no attack. :aww:
 
i may the only one who thinks this, but I actually loved lynch's lead tone on the first record. I think the old German reverb plates in Dieter Dierics studio create that "chamber" like effect that is a perfect tone marriage with a cranked old Super Lead. ..similar to Uli Roth's recordings on Scorps In Trance and Virgin Killer. :thumbsup:

Me as well..... :thumbsup:

Listened to "Just got Lucky" yesterday and that little "Soloish lick" that he puts in between the versus....
AWESOME!!!
Soaked with Reverb or something....VERY WET sounding.
But very well placed! ;)

He needs to go back to the SLO.
IDK...did you listen to Lugo's amp shootout? Lynch's SLO sounded like a big bucket of ass IMO...kind of a mess compared to most of the others in its catagory.

I'm not talking about Tooth and Nail, but Breaking the Chains. Amazing Lead tone and actually one of my favorite Lynch solo's. He's actually speaking..
