I have seen Buckethead without his mask and he is sadly not Christopher Guest. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I know Pat. Just not sure why Lynch is taking it bitter because he's not good at talking with the public. He's always been like that. Hell he barely talks at all in the old Dokken video. So because he's quiet and doesn't know what to say he's an a$$hole? Amazing. This post is almost as good as the "dissappointed" one. Further proof that opinions are like a$$holes I guess.

Re: Mini NAMM 2003 Report

high points:

seeing ron (racer x) kick ed roman in the rear and smack him upside the head

paul stanley - he was WAY nicer to me than i was thinking he'd be.

jim marshall signing a marshall shirt for me

talking to floyd rose at length about his new speedloader

looking at the new charvels with grover jackson and mike shannon

flipping thru what may become a jcf "chicks and guitars" calendar

it was also good to meet some jcf'ers, and see some familiar faces as well.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">He's not an asshole because he's quiet; he's an asshole because he'll ignore a fan, then throw a rockstar tantrum if he can't get his way right that minute! My
roommate's ex was terrorized by him at a
tanning salon where she worked. He just ignored her saying what a fanshe was, but
when tod he'd have to wait 10 minutes for
a booth, he threw a big "I'm George Lynch" tantrum. He wanted someone bounced from their booth early because he
was a big Monsters of Rock celeb! I have
read many similar posts of this kind of behavior elsewhere on the Web, so I think
it's more than being quiet or shy. Of course if he's your idol bring your rose
colored glasses to the show/clinic!

I got to know George pretty well about the time the first Lynch Mob album was due to be released. Teched for him at a couple of shows, hung at his house, etc. He was a bit moody, but never an assh*le that I saw.
Maybe old age is making him bitter. It happens.
Right, Lex? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] *

* that was a joke...I'm old too. And bitter!

And Ron took his screen name from the Ultra-Cool Interpol Agent form the Speed Racer cartoon, not that crappy wanker band that Paul "Ibanez are better than Jackson because they give me free Dinky copies" Gilbert [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously, though, my brother met Dokken during the Tooth and Nail tour in New Orleans and he said Lynch and Jeff were really open and cool, but Don was copping a "GOD! Do I HAVE to be HERE!?!" attitude.

Anyways, I imagine Lynch wants to hear people raving on his current release, not the old stuff.
You should have asked him why he had ESP make him a copy of an Ibanez Talman for his new sig model instead of something better-looking and no to retro/50-ish.
It looks like a Dano/Wolfgang [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Mini NAMM 2003 Report

Well, my cable has been down till now so I couldn't post anything about NAMM till now. On the George Lynch thing, I've met him twice so far and thought he was pretty cool. At least he always stayed to meet and sign autographs for everyone there. At NAMM he was at at least three different booths and looked pretty tired late saturday. I say give the guy a break.

Now Eddie Van Halen on the other hand blew off everyone after a nearly 4 hour wait. Great guitar player, no doubt about it but I'd say this was my only disappointment at NAMM.
I did meet some JCF members at the show though as well as the JCF admins. It was great meeting everyone and I hope the admins are enjoying their Jackson calendars, they were a big hit with those who saw them [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I also met some of the Fender guys that were on the forum around the time of the buyout. They were pretty cool too and I hope they're still around on this board.

Some of the big names I met at NAMM included George Lynch of course, Michael Angelo, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Chris Impeliterri, Jack Frost, Kerry King. I also met Mike Shannon. And the big surprise was that Lloyd from GuitarXpress.Com arranged a Jackson factory tour for us! That was the highlight for me, got to go to the Custom Shop and got a guided tour with Tim Wilson as well as met Celeste whom I've only spoke with on the phone before. I have tons of pictures from the Jackson Custom Shop as well as NAMM itself if anyone is interested.
And oh yeah, if Brooks is reading this I have pics of your Koa at the Custom Shop [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

P.S. A big thank you to Lloyd and GuitarXpress who made the whole weekend happen for me!
