MCChris Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I don't think anyone is claiming Dokken is really heavy, but on the heavyosity meter I give Loverboy about a 2 and Dokken at 4 or 5.So, not that much of a gap between the two, which was my point all along.

silentman Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I still think they have different styles and you can't confuse them for one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 George Lynch was somewhat relevant, what 25 years ago? More like 20, back when you and he were sharing all of those magazine covers together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentman Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 One could argue the relevence of anyone then Jaye. Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Led Zep. None of these bands are burning up the charts of late. Their catalog will be around forever however and that's where the proof of relevence is. Lynch is still a monster guitarist even though he's lifting weights most of the time these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynch? Nah... Other than Mr Scary or whatever it's called, I'd be hardpressed to name one song he played on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zorrow Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Lynch got chops to give away to any of us and some. Also, his lead tone is truly remarkable. He is currently working on a new album. I've already listened to some samples and there are lots of soaring lines and smart shredding in there, believe me. I just hope vocals won't ruin it.

Other than Mr Scary or whatever it's called, I'd be hardpressed to name one song he played on.I have to admit Lynch is far from that level of transcendence, but well, Dokken did hit the charts pretty often in the eighties, as cheesy as it gets – "Paris is Burning", "Breaking the Chains"... As a player that never made it to the true major leagues, at least Lynch has his place in the history of metal guitar. In any case, I do like what he plays at least from a technical (or chop-wise) point of view. And I LOVE his lead tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool song. /* really ducks this time.If we're going to make a list of influential/important guitarists from the hair band era, I'd have to go with these (in no particular order). George LynchPaul GilbertWarren DimartiniYngwie MalmsteenJake E LeeThese guys stand out in the sea of wankers. Feel free to discuss, add more.
