Reading comprehension problems much???? GFY Arschlöch

That's some good swearing in Danish right there. I didn't expect that opening this thread this morning. And with an ø no less

[jackson1]

Yes, that's pretty awesome to see proper Danish swearing. Unfortunately, our nation is turning into an English speaking nation and a lot of cursing and expressions nowadays are just English ripoff. I miss the good old "fede svin" or "pikhoved". Den-onde-lyneme!

what does Arschlöch mean? i'm dying to find out from my first and only counterpart on this board with "Atomic" in his/her handle.

Levin OWNED Lynch in this clip....so much more energy in his playing. George looked like he was just tring to keep up and had a RUDE wake-up-call.

George has gone soft living off his legacy and forgot he has to WORK to keep the chops sharp...

Clone or not, Levin just overpowers him here.

That's gotta be embarassing to say the least.

I totally agree w/ Curt & Bill. I wasn't a Dokken fan, but always dug GL's playing. Saw Lynch Mob a couple of times around '90 & '91 and he was amazing, but he just hasn't done the work needed to hang onto his chops. Unfortunately, his style doesn't work well at all if he's not 100% on his game. I read somewhere that he says he's basically retired and spends all his time with his kids, so he has no time to play. That's fine. Lots of successful people do that, and good for them. In some fields, you can be semi-retired and do a great job when you just dabble in the old profession once in a while, but it just doesn't work well for him, imo, and it hurts his legacy. I still have huge respect for what he did in his prime, but no way I'm paying to see him at this point.

[atomic charvel guy]

at this point or any point though, ain't it about the tunes in the end?
I think the new lynch mob album has some good tunes on it. i've heard enough "chops" "runs"
arpeggios, etc. for a lifetime, give me some good tunes over the lightning guitar leads anytime, especially now that i am
106 years old.

I hear you, Tommy. If George lays down some cool tracks that fit his current playing ability, that's great. I'll have to give it a listen. The dude can still play, and still has one of the best vibratos ever. I'd be cool with seeing him live if he could just play the new stuff he's comfortable with and can pull off with his current practice schedule, but I'm afraid he's stuck with his "legendary shredmeister" label, and a good part of the show would probably be like Bill's clip above.

WTF is with him and the GLOVE anyway??? Geez...

Maybe he just had a BRUTAL workout or something, and his hands hurt.
