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.
