Kinda sad. Another example of George getting killed by who he's playing with. The kid reminds me a bit of George back when he was hungry.

Lars Johan Yngve Lannerback is Wingway's real name.


as for George, he is the guy that can explode chains by simply pointing a super strat at them. kinda like super powers, but not as real.

Who's George Lynch again?

[horns666]

Actually, he's Yngwie J Malmsteen

It's so as not to confuse him with all the other Yngwie Malmsteen's out there

Thes are facts. Not even Lars Snoggerpigger (Yngy's actual name) Is Yngwie J Malmsteen.

Even I am Bill Z Bub..as to not cunfuse me with all the other Bill Bubs out there.

But Charvelbro sounds like he had a great time! Even tho he may not really think so. It's a cultutal thing. I worked every wedding and party imaginable. Kinda like DJs/bands..From total rednecks wedding, black weddings, asian, russian, polish, german, romanian, italian, mexican, greek, puerto rican, arab, et.. ummm everything but scandanavian. I never witnessed that, but I'd really love to. Swedish girls..forgetabouddit!! Let me tell you. That whole stereotype about white people can't dance is BS. Well, not really. But black people shouldn't talk so freely about that, because they can NOT hold a candle, in any way, shape, or form to any latino, hispanic dancing. Nooooo way!!! I am no dance expert, but wow..just wow..they got moves with grooves! To me NOTHING is more stiff than line dancing. I mean it's good excercise at old folks homes..which is nice. Compare that to Salsa...mingya!

Of ALL those parties....you're going to get in a fight at the Redneck wedding. I actually had to arrest the groom. I had no choice. After he punched me the SECOND time, and gave me a huge fat lip...forgettabouddit. They can't dance for poop. They dance like strippers...bad ones.

[Nightbat]

He's Yngwie F'n Malmsteen.

Actually, he's Yngwie J Malmsteen

It's so as not to confuse him with all the other Yngwie Malmsteen's out there

[horns666]

Who'd write a song called "Mr. Scary", and be proud of it? You'd have to be baked to think that's cool!

It's Gay..it always was gay and will be gay. That was the beginning of the gayness.

I'm Gay! I mean. I feel kinda Gay..sometimes. Is that Gay?

[horns666]

Please tell me you didnt wear an argyle sweater to the show.

Rossnesses' sweater was on fire ! It was so hot ..Mr Schweaty's Balls were sweltering!

[horns666]

Were those hair plugs I saw??? (1:48-1:58)

Without a doubt !!! Mr Baldy..Mr Hair Club for Men with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.


Dis is troof!

[tonemonster]

Look at it this way.

By comparison from then to now....

At least his playing isn't as bad as Don's singing.

the man has a point here.

[tonemonster]

You guys are high!! C',mon don't be in denial. He blows!

He hasn't worte anything worth a damn since Sacred Groove..that was '93. ummmm 20 years ago..??

I have to agree with Bill. I am a major Lynch fan, but man he just aint got the magic anymore. Sacred Groove was the last good thing he did. damn shame to say,but its true. BillZ speaks da troof.

[tonemonster]

I saw Lynch Mob a few weeks ago and GL was on fire! Awesome player!!!

Please tell me you didnt wear an argyle sweater to the show.

Valid points taken. That's some funny sh!t Bill.

bit off topic..
Went out to dinner the other night and they were playing 70's all throughout; you know, disco to hits of the day. Woke up the other day having "its the last song, I'll ever write for you" going through my head wondering what and where did I ever pick that up? Then it came back to me. Funny how the mind works. Every time I went to work they were playing some el banda sh!t you'd only hear at a mexican rodeo for 12 hours straight. Try having that going through your head as your trying to get some sleep @ 8am. That will have a tendency to mess with your guitar playing identity in as much as my incorporating weak spanish into my daily life as the a son of a German immigrant with a fairly strict upbringing.

There was a comment Yngwie made in an interview years back (think it was GP) that I thought was somewhat odd, where he advised that guitarists should "stop listening to other guitar players!", then went on as much to state "stop listening to me" which, by then I already had, so it was status quo. but we always want to know what these guys are up to as long as they get print eh? I think the point was to advise aspiring guitarists to stop indulging yourself in another guitarists playing so you could focus on developing your voice and own style. In actuality, its pretty valid philosophy which relates to Yngwie only listening to classical and his strict diet of Bach. So with the changing times, maybe Lynch has a bit of the matter being his identity is of another era, which now only transposes into clubs, whereas Yngwie went onto performing his spiel with composers and then clubs. Not like he hasn't gone through the ebb n flow as well. Now he just does tennis moves onstage at the House of Blues, but hey - he still can play in the same style as he did when he was 18-19 and making his mark known. Yngiwe says he's always improving, so I leave it at that. He's Yngwie F'n Malmsteen.

We know that VH is always writing, but staying in the vein is of marketability is tough enough let alone trying to stay on top as a paid performer. Which is why you have these bands/artists doing these 'combo' shows and 20th anniversary of said heyday album shows. Look at the whole Whiteny and MJ thing - tragic to say the least.
The odds are, there's a window of a bright to be seen as the comet burns its last and then plunges into the atmosphere, a fading image in the retina. Do we know that Gl is still writing? I don't know that for certain, but I wouldn't doubt it but I'm not in his skin or his close circle. Whether or not it goes to album and print is an entirely 'nother matter. So, he still performs live as a means of living. To the average listener, its probably a respectable throwback show. To the discerning musician who wants to be impressed, probably not as much.

Either way, if you don't care for it, I can understand that in as much as I don't care for listening to 12 hours of watered down; ahh wait no, make that tequila driven German beer drinking polkas.

I stand corrected. George Lynch also put out KILLER material in '90, '92, and '93. That's 20..TWENTY years ago.

I was a total George Lynch fanboy, when I saw the above studio clip. I bought "Hot Guitarist" VHS to watch everyday....like a fag!

Charvelguy, I think we all understand that there's going to be ups and downs in a long career, and it's sad to witness the personal downfall of a guy you once admired and perhaps still do in some respects. But that doesn't mean we should just accept it and buy their stuff and expensive tickets. I also understand that a lot of these people may have no other options in life than to get up on stage even if it means embarrasing themselves. As for people slagging on other people for no reason, that's not really anything specific to music. That's something you can witness in life whenever people have success.

Yes. even yours truly ain't bad ass as once was. The mighty Dark Marsupial is starting to sag. I think I should try botox in the pud. But , my playing has aged gracefully...in my own perameters, and abilities. I was much faster then. But I hit less "bones" now..pun intended.

My wife is blatantly honest, because she can be..that's how they get back at you. If I ask her if I look pudgy in something ..she yells "youre' a fat fuck!!!"..like Tourettes Guy. She's heard me play since '84, and vicariously thru me knows more guitarists than most guitarists...as does my son. He's blossomed into an amazing player. I have this "tourettes" with him as well. I NEVER blew smoke up his ass. If I think something sucks or cool, I'll say it. These are facts. My wife always thought I was mean sometimes, and many would agree. But it made him a better player, drummer, bassist, guitars, keys..ect. He knows I'm sincere, and have his best interest at heart. He's 17, and I can't do what he does., and visa versa..but yet we sound the same???

With all that kinda bs background said. Some of my "heros" aged gracefully, and I make sure I support them buying their product. I will NOT support a has been. I will enjoy their works that encouraged me at that time. Like a time capsule, but I'm certainly not stuck in one. I've kept up with all the major players. Ironically, so does Uli Roth. Who KNOWS Jeff Loomis. Now how is that? He actually went to see him play in Frankfurt, Germany, and went to his hotel room to BS and show him lessons. Jeff gave him one of his spare Schecter sigs he had with him. Now that's cool!!! Who did Jeff have on his new solo record. Players like Marty Freidman, Chris Poland, Tony MacAlpine, and Attila Voros..an hungarian up and comer who joined NM before the split. A very young, humble, hungry Chris Broderick worshipped the ground Jeff walked on. I was there in the late 90's When Chris joined Jag Panzer, who replaced Joey Taffola and toured with Nevermore, and Iced Earth. Jeff could have took that Megadeth gig and became an instant name amoung players. He also turned down many amazing offers that would have thrown him to instant fame. Instead he chose to do his thing, much like Uli did decades ago. Those two have more in common than they realize. Both are my very favorite players.

I'd LOVE to see Paul Gilbert fuggin' up, so I know he's not an alien. I saw Schenker on that tour and he was incredible. I saw that vid of him stumbling around..that really sucked! But He had his V anchored between his legs and tearing shit up..note for note and then some. Sure, players have bad days. We're human..'cept for Paul Gilbert. I reall like to see him playing mediocre..that would make me happy.

George Lynch SUCKED since '95 or so, due to grunge, rap, trends, bad habbits, steroids, workin' out, family life, band drama ect....life itself. He hasn't put anything worth a shit out..'cept for equipment. Everyone and myself was slaggin' Eddie big time. But Ed is better than George from day one. It's not a secret..George knew it..everyone knew it. Ed changed Rock, gear, sound..and inspired more players than anyone. Even if you hate Ed, he touched you in many ways. period. Les Paul, and Hendrix are in that company as well. Ed is , was, still King. George Lynch is the King of Carpel Tunnel...until we hear and see otherwise. Until then, George Lynch is just one of MANY that put out killer albums in the 80's.
