I cannot tell you when Gilbert last put anything out.

Just an FYI:

What If (Mr. Big) - 2011
Fuzz Universe - 2010
United States (with Freddie Nelson) - 2009
Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar - 2008
Get Out of My Yard - 2006

and the list goes on...

Exactly!!!! In fact Les Paul would be the first dude to admit he enjoyed sitting next to or standing beside these guys having it handed to him! He just loves music, players taking it to a new level. Those are people he can relate to, interact with in part with because I think due to the fact that he once was in their shoes! Not to mention, Les Paul just loved music, and playing!!

Seems like a lot of back and forth on this thread. It seems strange to me. Bagging on GL & but putting EV, Gilbert, & others on a pedestal. I cannot tell you when Gilbert last put anything out. The new EVH album I think blows. YJM... has he put anything out since 1987? I will say the most recent Lynch Mob album I wasn't a big fan of. A couple of tunes were good & I'll leave it at that. But Kill All Control I think is a great album. Don may be doing better gigs, but I would say that is on the Dokken recognition, where as Lynch Mob never was in the public eye long enough to have the name recognition outside of 80's Metal enthusiast & guitarists. The video he was featured on I don't think was terrible. Did the kid outplay GL... sure but was that mostly due to degradation of skill or the fact it was the kids album not GL's? So it's this kids album/tune, did the kid write the song including GL's parts or was that something GL layed down in the studio? One more point to this, if it really sucked, I would think the kid would have ixnayed the tune or rerecorded GL's parts himself.

Now before I go get flamed for being a GL fanboy & sticking up for the guy. I'll be the 1st to say GL at 50 something is not the GL of his 20s-30s. But I don't think he is a scrub. Was Les Paul not being outplayed by the younger cats... YES, but who cares, it was Les F'n Paul. I say the same for GL. Although I am not a huge EVH fan I'll say the same for him. Would I pay to go see either play, hell yes unless I felt I was getting raked over the coals like KISS does to it's fans. That reminds me, has KISS put out any new material in the last 20 years. Maybe a tune or 2, but really it is a rehash of all the old material, that they still want you to pay top dollar for.

ADKOT is better than anything Lynch ever put out. Gilbert is on an entirely different level FAR above both EVH and Lynch. He makes Lynch look like Ace Frehley, for God's sake! I love what Lynch did in his prime but he ain't that guy anymore. Sorry but that's just the truth.

UH OH! looks like the gunslinger is back! NOT!

Umm..are we talking personal taste or skill because if anything YJM's skill has increased quite a bit over the years and he has done some good stuff past 87........MM

Much like Schenker, there's different camps on Malmsteen's history as well. There are guys who only prefer his earlier - older playing, citing Alcatrazz and early rising force and not really noting anything past Trilogy. Like Yngwie himself has said, (GP article - and not a direct quote)
..."if I took all this criticism seriously, I'd be a wreck, I wouldn't know if I was an asshole or a God"

and in that there is a great deal of truth as a major guitar 'icon'/performer who has gone through challenges (his car wreck) and carpel etc.

If only our own physical challenges, playing and career could stand up to such scrutiny.

Funny cause i just got done watching a concert of him with alcatrazz then read this! LOL
I think yngwie is a super brilliant player, some seem to forget that when he first came out nothing like that had been done in rock guitar at least not at that level, guys like ULI,ritchie were using harmonic minor and diminished scales sure but like ed he was a pioneer/innovator IMHO and i will never criticize him because if that! despite what anyone else has to say about him!

Why does George Lynch always look soaking wet. He was dry when he was good...now he's all wet.

Get it..all wet?

That's funny!

Oh..that's why he wears that glove. In fact, I never seen him without that glove. Even in interviews. I bet he can't take it off. It's been stuck on his hand since 1996. That was the year OJ got off with murder. He wore a glove that didn't fit. coincedence..I think not. I think George Lynch was hired by OJ for murder...check that glove for DNA!!!

Hmmmm ..Michael Jackson only wore one glove...wait??? This is conspiracy type shit. I think George Lynch is responsible for the death of Michael Jackson...and 911 !!! Oh, man I am awesome at solving crimes!! These are 1000% facts!!!

Ohhh...that's gotta hurt. Getting your ass handed to you in your own band..

Don Dokken.."C'mon George..C'mon you can do it. C'mon everyone..I can't hear you.."

thats what happens when you try to take on someone playing a charvel! john ripped! couldnt even hear GL?

[CHARVEL_strat_81]

George Lynch despreately needs to follow Eddie's example. I don't know if he's in denial or what, because he plays like shit for far too long. That was not the case with Ed considering he did put out some decent writing in the mid to late 90's..and that one clip of him playing an instrumental (Ed playing all instruments) video at 5150 , all sweaty..was it "Caroline"..a girl's name.
.

from one ED freak to another it was "Catherine" and yes it kills! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6rOO1thTvM

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.

absolutely! that guy is great! what is up with GL's tone? even that sucks anymore! this guys tone was great!
ah fuck it, i got to go play cause i dont want to wind up like GL when i am 50!

I assume most of us did. But, it obviously did not stimulate blood flow to our junk. I think we moved on to shit-ton of better players. If we don't things become stagnant. He had his place. He did his job. He served his purpose at the time. Unfortunately time is not kind to most people.
