I like old George - no ego, laughs at everything including himself, full of stories, and still rocks!
🤣🤣🤣 That’s a good way to put it! 🙌 George is so awesome! 🙌🎸
I wonder if he still thinks his own solos are so-so, when we all think he kills it every time.
Same goes for Yngwie lol
@@damone70 Who are the village people? They may be before my time but it’s evident that you are very familiar with them. 🧌
Yeah i was 16 in 1985 what a great time to grow up in with all these great guitarists
I love how Dave Murray and Adrian Smith were not influenced ONE bit by any other guitarists there and played exactly the same way that they do on Iron Maiden records. Their slow, harmony parts really stood out from everyone else needlessly shredding just for the sake of it. Yngwie did what he naturally does so it never ever sounds forced.
I was just going to commit on Murray and Smith's harmony solo.
That part always stood out to me. Everybody else is playing a million miles an hour and then those two guys come in sounding like something straight off of “Somewhere in Time” 🤣🤘
They were influenced heavily by Led Zeppelin. Iron Maiden made a living with the "Achilles Last Stand" sound.
Bucks solo was awesome
Unfortunately they always sounded the same too in every song but it did kick ass
If you were a teenage kid playing guitar when these guys were at their pinnacle it was an amazing feast . It will never come again and I’m so glad it happened at a time of life where I had time to listen and play and be inspired by these guys .
Must of been nice man. Now all we get Tim Henson. No hate towards him, just not my cup of tea. If I want to hear odd rhythms and riffs I'd rather listen to Tool.
Is** Tim
The best . . . a special time for sure. I'll never forget picking up Tooth and Nail at the little local record store on a whim - just cuz the album cover looked cool. At 14 I had no idea the awesomeness that awaited when I slapped the record on. I was mesmerized by Without Warning
Same here..in 1983 I was 17 and partying my ass off with my friends listening to all the great guitarists from that era..I also started playing in 85' and George Lynch was a huge influence on me along with Randy Rhoads EVH and many others..best times ever in my life !@@lentzman72
Ditto! I had just started playing about a year and a half before that record came out. What a tour de force that was.
A legend! I loved George and Yngwie both.
I saw Yngwie on his first record Rising Force when he first came to America..he was 17-18 years old and what a great concert..front row at the Arcadia Theater in Dallas Texas..
@@rosskrause3926 , 🤘
One of the stand out performances on the Hear 'N Aid session was Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult, his playing was just tasty and he did not seem to be concerned about anyone else.
Big Time!
Sounds like Buck
true!
Disagree not even sure why he was picked.
@@mitchpalmer5116uhm..... maybe because he wrote and played some really cool stuff?
Yngwie named George Lynch and Warren DeMartini as guitarists he was impressed with on coming to Amercia.
No kidding?! He definitely has some good taste! 🙌🎸🔥
I believe he said that Steve Lukather was the only one that impressed him. Might be wrong though.
I heard he laughed at Eddie Ojeda's solo.
Blackmore was ym idol. Do your homework!
@@jehudavis5422 of course but now we are talking about u.s guitarists.
I remember those 80's interviews, George was always noodling unplugged, just like here. Yes, YNGWIE was the top of the crop. Guitar cover on every guitar magazine at the time.
George is being humble. I've actually heard that alot of the guitar players feared him during the Stars sessions. Lots of them were also enjoying the booze at the time, while he was diligently practicing so he wouldn't get shown up by Yngwie.
What I heard was they all were impressed with themselves and each other until Neal Schon did it effortlessly and faster with less prep time tone chasing
"Stars/Hear 'N Aid" is still the best collab track ever.
I 💯 AGREE! Most SHREPIC by far 🙌🎸🔥
Tommy Aldridge broke my fear of stage fright. I was 6 years old. IT was in the 1970s. He and my parents were talking at half time, Pat Travers Band. Tommy set me down , behind his drums, I hit the drums, but then, I looked up, and saw the crowd. I started screaming, but after that, it was all good.
OMG! What a story! That’s freaking incredible bro and so badass! 🙌🎸🎸🎸
LOVE IT !!!!!.....priceless ...lynch is my all time fave !!!!!!
Love George s self criticism, his insights are really encouraging, since he's telling us about the amount of responsability with all the nervousness it comes with it and also moments he did phucked things up, his flaws and what not. Thats really meaningful coming from such a singular and accomplished player. This is gold. Thanks for upload this.
Exactly. He never acts like he was a over confident, know it all, had it together from day one guy. My favorite story he recounted was when I got contacted to play with Dokken. I believe they(Dokken) were either already in Germany or headed there. George stated "I didn't even have a case for my guitar at the time. I just wrapped it in a towel...". That was me too. No case for my guitar. It was too much money and didn't make me sound any better/worse. Funny what seems like rational thought when you're a young person.
Fun fact, Yngwie mentioned this at one of his " masterclasses" ( lol, hilarious, just him ripping) that so many of these guys were taking forever to lay down solos for the Stars session. He said Lynch took what seemed like hours to cut a lead to which he said " Guys..it's 3 bars. It isn't rocket science" You hear that in Yngwie's solo. It's brilliant. Gets the job done and he's out. He was that good.
OMG! No way?!? Lol I’d love to see the footage from the Masterclass of him saying that! Would you happen to know where we could find that? 😬🎸🎸
@@MastersofShred It was a live event and Yngwie was complaining about cameras and anyone recording so I doubt there is any footage but he has to have said that elsewhere as well. Someone asked about the Stars sessions between songs when he was fielding questions. His delivery was hilarious but so Yngwie. Just goes to show how easy it was for him.
That's also written in his biography book
@@Esse9. Seems logical..he never misses a chance to promote himself. :D
@@Polentaccio lol for sure, he's a butthole.
I love that Mr Lynch always has a guitar in his hand all the time
Lynch and Eddie Van Halen always have a guitar in there hands just part of them
Very true! 😯👍🎸🎸
That’s the way it should always be 😜👍🎸 Believe it or not, I actually request that all guitarists have their guitar on hand during the interview 👊😎👍🎸
He does, love it too. He also has a water proof one, that he can play in his pool...
And yet he seems to get worse and worse at it.
George Lynch has always been such a class act.
He's very confident in himself, and it has always shown in his musical abilities and performances.
He isn't on here saying anything nasty about Yngwie, but instead giving props to him, as well as to himself, rightfully so.
He isn't being a bitter jerk like Jake E Lee when he called Yngwie an Assho**..
This is why George Lynch is still relevant.
Very true! George is a class act! Super nice and humble guy 🙌🎸🔥 I actually just heard a story that Yngwie discussed Hear N Aid in a recent Masterclass and threw mud in George’s way 🤦♂️
@@MastersofShred Really?
He said something bad about George?
That's not cool. Though I think he's much more mature and kind the days, Yngwie was quite the firecracker back in the day.
George is a class act.
:-)
But Yngwie IS an asshole.
Agreed, George was super nice. I love his playing and giving props to Yngwie because they are my faves. And yeah, Jake is an insecure jerk bitch like one of the many who "misunderstood" Yngwie..😆He knows Yngwie would run circles over him. haha😂 Cheers!
great
I always appreciate the honesty that George Lynch has, he doesn’t sugarcoat his experiences.
My question would have been "Did Eddie Ojeda accidentally receive Eddie Van Halens invitation ?"
🤣🤣🤣
Ouch😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thing is, there's nothing wrong with Eddie's solo in "We're Stars". It's well constructed and melodic. No, he doesn't burn like the other guys, but he was never that kind of player. At least it wasn't Jay Jay French.
Who doesn't love YJM? But reckon Eddie might have sold a few more records. Non-guitarists sing along with "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", but I doubt too many will know "Now you're Ships Have Burned" or Heaven Tonight".
George is badass
100% !!! We agree!
It's all about personal preference as to what solo one enjoys. But Yngwie had made the biggest impact since Eddie at that time.
Yngwie also ignited a renewed interest in classical music among young people as well. I remember going to to the local Sound Warehouse and seeing other long hairs hanging out in their separate classical department. The department had its own room.
One of the guys working in there was blown away how all these young men suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It started about 1985, about two years before I moved into the neighborhood.
He later learned a lot of it had to do with Yngwie. They went from barely selling any Paganini to barely being able to keep any in stock. Up until that point, only violinists were buying the 24 Caprices. He actually got excited when I (another long hair) asked for some Scarlatti. But I had been raised on the stuff. Yngwie allowed me to come out of my classical nerd closet and look cool.
Most of the guys back then were digging into Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and, of course, Paganini.
The guys on Shrapnel (Friedman, Becker, Moore, Gilbert, MacAlpine and the like) kept the young musicians coming in. It began to die down in the early 90s. Which was odd because there was a resurgence of classical music sales in general not long after that. It's odd how that worked out.
I became a guitar tech not long after this. Yngwie's impact goes far deeper than scales, sweeping and arpeggios. A lot of guys used their classical interest as the gateway into jazz when neo-classical became pretty common. It was cool seeing this evolution.
And Seattle Grunge kinda ruined Metal and took over the music scene with hardly no solos but based around that new style of singing and grunge guitar sound which some of it is ok
I said it once before and I will say it again. Tons of thanks for doing these videos. Back in the 80’s these videos would have been priceless. Great job you are doing with these.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words! That means a lot to me and I’m happy to see you enjoy them as much as I did capturing them 🙌🙏🎸🎸
Absolutely! Thanks again
Saw George a couple weeks ago on the lynch mob tour. He killed it! Dude played some Dokken Hendrix and Lynch Mob. Looked great and played great. The opener was AON and XYZ. Opened up with Tooth and Nail. He had a great sound and you could tell he was feelin it.
I've said it already in the past in some of my comments about Hear N Aid, there were there a lot of great guitar players but when Yngwie entered with his first guitar solo everyone could feel that it was something else, at that time Yngwie was totally better than everyone else and i say it with maximum respect to all the other guitar players, the song itself is nothing more than a generic Dio song, it's the part of the guitar solos that is the highlight of the song with Yngwie Malmsteen guitar solos sections has been the best, thanks for sharing.
I can’t remember if it’s the second, I believe his third part, where there’s the slow chugging buildup (with lynch possibly) and then Yngwie pulls that wicked sweeping pick scale then some blazing notes after to round it off…that right there just said everything I needed to hear first time I listened to the track. Every single one of those guitarists are incredibly talented, but yngwie was in an entirely different league. I honestly believe it had to do with his classical upbringing and approach with Paganini as his hero, etc
I love this channel. I remember Yngwie coming out, but the reas surprise was Neal Schon to me. ❤.. All of them were great! ❤❤❤
100% agree! So underrated, his lead just absolutely ripped! A hell of a player…
I remember reading an interview with Vivian Campbell and how impressed he was with Neal Schon's chops and preformance
Neal was kind of like the cleanup batter of that situation. I think he was slightly older than all the rest of those guys with a few more years of experience. Neal was and is still the man!
George went off hard on that one. The video of him throwing down in the studio and everyone cheering is just pure awsomeness!
Right?! George entered that studio with one objective : SLAY! ⚔️🙌🎸🔥
Great interveiw. Try getting two mics next time.
WE LOVE YOU GEORGE!!!
Everyone loves an awesome guitar player with humility!!!!!😎
the amount of shredding and gains in that one room is immense
Love how my first guitar crush has become a grandfatherly sage.
I still have the Hear & Aid VHS tape from back in the day. George killed it, straight up, for real.
That vid was like a light in my Childhood! Yngwie WAS awesome but I loved every player in it.
When I was a kid it was Neal Schon, George Lynch and Yngwie, and Craig Goldy who caught my attn on the vid. Massive love for the Maiden harmony too😎🔥
How can one not love George.
When I first heard George Lynch, it was with Dokken, I thought he was amazing untouchable!!
Legend!
I remember reading Guitar Player back in 1983. They had a regular feature about up and coming guitar players. I saw a photo and a short few lines about this Swedish kid. If there was one time GP got it right, it was then
During those recording’s, George was on fire more so than anybody else hand’s down, he left me with the most memorable impression way more than even Yngwie !
Yeah, that's some of his best playing....I think he was king on this recording, him or Malmsteen
I love to hear George play. And now I'm loving the gray hair. Silver Fox ❤❤ ❤
I have always loved George and his playing! My all time fav #1
His solos on the Hear & Aid song is amazing! The growl that he gets is beyond anyone!
I would shake in my boots too, if I were to play a solo next to Yngwie in his prime.. H*** Sh*t 😅
George is my all time hero and role model - he's 69 and rockin' as ever.. - so great!!!!
Yup, George is the definition of Shred MACHINE, he’s one of the most badass ~ hardest working guitarist out there! 🙌🎸🎸🎸
Someone commented in another podcast that it's hard to keep track of Lynch these days, because he's involved in so many projects simultaneously.
he's playing like an angry cat that you don't know what comes next. mt definite number 1 player.
Neal, George and Yngwie were back to back and the 3 best!
Buck Dhama was pretty easy to pick out, as well.
Love u George!❤
George had the best solo on there. And i'm not a Dokken fan. I've seen that video a million times when it came out. George Lynches name never even comes up in my favorite guitar list. BUT he had a great moment on there !!
I'm glad he corrected himself Brad gillis is very distinctive and my favorite part of that recording besides George's playing
Lynch is so cool 😎
🤟"LYNCH"🤟..."George" is Right...Everyone was Afraid of "Yngwie". Cause He was so KILLER on His "Strat", and He's So "Cocky/Obnoxious" Etc... Everyone was trying to be Careful..But "All in All",, It's Still ROKKIN ROLL.👍🤟👍
Yngwies solo was just on another level, and all the others knew it, but i like how lynch was never influenced by the whole neo classicsl thing, and to this day his playing is one of the most recognisable, where the whole neo classical thing got hammered to death
While that is true about Yngwie, let's not forget our music history here. Ritchie Blackmore, Uli John Roth, Michael Schenker and Randy Rhoads were using Minor-Key Modes, and Classical themes long before Yngwie was on the radio doing "Black Star".
Neal Schons solo was better than yngwies what u talking about
@@yellowhouseproductions2959 you must be a Kirk Hammett fan too🤦
@@1970borntorun could care less about any of that, I'm talking about what was laid down on "we're stars" nothing more, nothing less😉
Yngwie is easily the most influential guitarist of modern times. You won't find many young guitarists that aren't putting neoclassical influence at the forefront of their playing.
He changed the game. The next level after Edward. We were all chasing Malmsteen when he came out. Trying to play his shit was brutal.
Uli Jon Roth was way better than him and did it before him.
George is awesome.
And yet, George was the only one that got an audible reaction out of the folks in the booth. All these years later and STILL cannot figure out what he did on those nosedives, but the whoopin and hollerin from the board guy, a childhood well lived.... It's been like 58 years, so will somebody PLEASE show the rest of us what they heck he did to make that mr. scary wicked cool geetar sounds that all of the folks STANDING, RIGHT, THERE, WATCHING, IT, HAPPEN went nuts over! lol (seriously. does anyone know? lol)
Mr Scary! George rocks, to this day! 🤘🤘🤘
One of the greatest tracks in history!!!
You pointed out the exact thing I was going to comment on. If you just listen to that track, you can instantly tell George Lynch. He shines stylistically above all of them in a lot of ways.
I am a huge Yngwie fan, so I obviously instantly recognize his sound. However, I didn’t really see him shining so brightly on this particular recording. Obviously he was majorly impacted by his car accident so I would never want to talk poorly of an artist that survived something like that. But I will add his early work was probably some of the most inspiring Guitar work. It was , VanHalen, Lynch, and Malmsteen for me. Later it was all the others (Gilbert, Becker, Moore etc..) but those were always my top three. So just letting you know George, you made the cut as far as I’m concerned.
His car accident was like a year after Hear 'N' Aid. He is in peak form in the song/video.
That last outro solo was killer, so excellent. Great article.
Dios 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿 ’𝗡 𝗔𝗶𝗱 was amazing the amount of talent in that video
Thnks for this video making..topic star..old is gold
You are mighty welcome! Thank you for watching, happy you enjoyed it!🙏🙌🎸
Yngwie #1
People always talk about Eddie and Randy. But apparently at the time if you asked other guitarists who the best player was on the sunset strip, they would say George
I always thought George's solo was the best of the lot and he definitely had the most swagger.
I remember the first time I got on stage and it was a huge wedding gig and there was at least 3,000 people there. For about the 5 minutes I played with my eyes closed. Once I started hearing the crowd cheering things got better. I think the expectations and the roar of the crowd really hit a person the first time hitting any stage. The crowd I played in front of that night was savage! But it ended up being a fun show and we all had a great time.
George Lynch on Maximum Security album is epic
I am 17 signatures away from all 40 on my CD of Hear n Aid
WOW!! No way?! I would have that framed and turned into a plaque 🙌 So cool! 🎸🎸
@@MastersofShred it would have to be a double sided have very little space before signatures go on the back. I might start using the OBI strip.
The only one i couldnt tell who it was... Craig Goldy. I liked Neal Schons solo but they were all good. Murray and Smith harmony always great.
Maybe a second SM57 for the interview would have been a good idea...
Maybe a different mic all together.
@@gillihansmobilewelding True too..
right? I mean christ is the budget so tight that $99 breaks the bank.....more $ on mics and less on beard trimming shears.
You just summed up all that is wrong with modern world in one sentence….
Ed may have been the king but yngwie was the guitarists's guitarist. I have the hear n aid album and all of the solos on stars sound pretty much the same. Yngwie's part doesn't stick out "like a sore thumb" but if you point it out, you can tell it's him.
Actually you have it completely backwards . EVH was the guitarists guitarist .
Exactly!@@2216sammy
HERE'S THE THING...... (from someone who discovered George and Yngwie in the early days and was scared of both of them).... with Yngwie, you had a good idea of what he was doing.... sure I couldn't play his stuff until much later.... but.... you understood what you were dealing with as far as technique went..... with George..... faaaaaaark'n hell..... half the time I had no idea how he pulled off some of the licks.... I still don't know what I'm listening to half the time.... look at him playing on the Stars song.... his playing is like a full on cross training session.... f@#king hard work man.... lol.... Georgie still is Mr Scary.... sh!t yeah.
Well said! Great point! 👏👍🎸🎸
He was featured in the guitar magazines back in the day along with some guitar lessons. His material was a bit daunting indeed, with long stretches, etc.
But the one thing that I've always liked about his playing is his phrasing, it's out of this world! The first Dokken song I ever heard was _Till The Living End_ and the lead guitar was fantastic, going over the chord changes, etc. as if he were telling a story. And then he got even better; on _Back for the Attack_ he kicked it up a notch. That phrasing, the vibrato, the tone... he had established his place among the greats!
@@MrClassicmetal ABSOLUTELY.... George is a very 'physical' player.... he works hard when he's soloing... and makes anyone trying to emulate him work VERY hard.
King Yngwie is the man that why!
George is one of the greatest of all time. "Under Lock and Key" is a quintessential masterpiece.
I see so many people saying this guys better, no this guys better, or this guy sucks and doesn't deserve to be here, I personally just loved everybody on it, I get some guys saying he doesn't deserve to be here, maybe it's just that he's not your style of player, so it doesn't sound good to you, but that doesn't mean they suck, this was a once in a lifetime event to get all these monster players together and I personally loved every single second of it, but I do respect everyone's honest opinion, that's whats so great about the comment section. Be safe all !
SM-57 for a Rock Guitar Interview! 🤘That's a 100$ mic! Sounds great to me here!
Thanks man! We had to make due with what we had at the time and it ended up working pretty well for us 😜👍🎸🎸
Great interview. Never heard some of those early day stories. Getting stuck in positions. Lmao. Love that guy
Thanks so much for the kind words! Happy you enjoyed it! We have some new interviews coming up soon that I think you will dig as well 😬👍🎸🎸
I did heaps of gigs over 30 years or so, mostly at pubs and clubs. I was a massive choker when it counted, such as at auditions and when people came to see me play. It's the main reason I never got beyond playing in coverbands, and probably why I eventually quit (because I never got anywhere, the gigs were getting progressively shittier as I got older). After bad weekend gigs when I was young, which was most, I used to drive home pissed off, then not start practicing again until the following Tuesday or Wednesday.
I once did a short demo for a guitar shop at a music expo with hundreds of fret-watchers. I totally went to water, and all I could do was grip the neck very tightly and play bad pentatonic scales. I after one short jam, I shook my head at the other guys on stage, put the guitar down and took off. I ran to my car, drove home, and didn't touch my guitars for several days.
If I knew what beta-blockers were when I was young, I would've taken them. I started drinking at gigs, and I don't like drinking that much. I even got half-pissed once for an audition. There's a fine line between drinking enough to calm bad nerves, and drinking so much that it impairs your playing; plus you've gotta drive home after the gig. Anyway, boo hoo, hey? Talk about first world problems. 😄 Hee hee. 😆👍
I read an article about George many years ago, in which he mentioned sometimes being nervous on stage and having his fingers turning to cement. I found this reassuring and relatable at the time.
Don’t worry about it brother, we’ve all been there and if anyone tells you they haven’t at some point then I’m questioning that! 😜🤣👍 What matters is you had the courage and confidence to get up on that stage and do your thing. Many players don’t even make it that far. Keep killing it man and thanks for sharing that story!👊😎👍🎸🎸
People should still be afraid of Yngwie now; his style and technique have held up very well over time, and he's still one of the best players of all time
Most of Yngwie bashers weren't even born at the time he was at the top, they don't know how influential he was (and still is).
ALL PLAYERS today in metal bands (or just bands with shred solos) owe him something and all the greatest guitar players recognize and acknowledge his Genius
nobody makes riffs like George Lynch, so complex, try learning The Hunter by ear... so many little details ,etc...mission impossible
I had no trouble copying Lynch's solos and riffs back in the 1980's.
The best solo on this track is the one Buck Dharma played, very musical and soulful 👍🏻!
Stars is still one of my favorite tracks, was actually blasting it last night. Every guitarist on that track did a stellar job, but there’s absolutely no denying that Yngwie’s parts are on a whole nother level. You don’t even have to know names or who’s playing, even Hellen Keller could tell you she hears the difference in skill level.
THIS is the guy who made me pick up a guitar. Not Eddie, not Page, not Clapton or Hendrix, but Lynch. I was 15 and Tooth & Nail was just released. I was hooked. Not only his skill and talent, but the writing. Mixing the fast runs with slow, single note phrases really generates that ebb and flow that we all crave (well, some of us) The solo on Lightning Strikes Again is one of my all time faves of ANY guitarist. Yes, Malmsteen was the Master of the Shred back then in a different way than Eddie. No one even heard of Neo-classical then and he was at the front of the mainstream pack. Although some would argue Uli Jon Roth was ahead of him in that genre. Listen to the Scorpions track Sails of Charon and you'll see why. Anyways, Lynch will always be in my wheelhouse with some of the sound tracks of my high school years. All great memories.
Chops, feel. Means a lot
I wish Randy Rhoads could've been there!
💯 and he would have slated it too!😔🙌🎸
and EVH
Damn I’d kill to hear some of those early live board recordings.
Seen Malmsteen three times live
I thought George's solo was the best out of everyone
STARS 録音時、誰かが『おお、イングヴェイはやっぱりスゲぇな』って録音ブースの扉をあけたら、ニール・ショーンだった、っていうエピソードが好き。
I would call George's style uniquely high performance blues which we're not gonna hear out of Yngwie.
I think I can speak for many saying we love Yngwie & George for different reasons!!!😉😎
Buck Dharma has the best solo on that session.
His was funky and had swing. Buck's, Yngwie's and Lynch's are the stand out solos for me. I still have the Hear-N-Aid VHS I bought new in '86.
Buck is an underrated bad ass.
❤
George - you were clearly George Lynch and that speaks volumes about who you are. Yes, at Hear - n - Aid, you were clearly George Lynch and Yngwie was clearly Yngwie, Brad Gillis was clearly him and Dave and Adrian were clearly them. Everyone else, and I mean everyone else was just trying to be in the timeframe playing what fit the bill - which was a joke - make no mistake about it - Yngwie, Lynch and Brad Gillis were the ONLY one who sounded like themselves - that is the stark reality - either like it or learn to live with it….
If you listen closely to this tracks backing rhythms, Adrian and Dave is not only playing, but they are playing the comp off 2 Minutes to Midnight (the riffing behind the mellow solo section on that song) - behind the whole solo section of the Stars track.
Caught one his clinics like 20 years ago I was starstruck then and couldn't ask a ? During Q&A wish I could turn back the clock😥
Never was enamored with YM, but GL was always awesome to me.
Eddie Ojeda from Twisted Sisters was wise. Since everybody was playing fast, he did a slow melodic solo that really stands out amongst all the shred-fest that's going on.
Not sure if true, but I heard somewhere that Yngwie laughed at Eddie's solos.
Cool! Lynch is a legend! Awesome instructional videos, great solos and riffs! Awesome guitars too!
I couldn’t agree with you more! 😬👍🎸
Is George talking about the South Gate in So Cal? I grew up there and I remember in the late 70s and early 80's when I was growing up they used to have battle of the bands at the auditorium at South Gate park. I know George is a bit older than me but is he talking about South Gate near Downey and Watts? if he is , that's amazing!
The reason i picked up a guitar in 1986........
The people that instantly stand out as recognizable on the Hear 'n Aid record from the rest:
Guitarists: George Lynch, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brad Gillis
Singers: Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate, Don Dokken, Paul Shortino and maybe Dave Menketti. The rest just kind of blend together.
RJD kept some very unique voices off the record like Vince Neil and Blackie Lawless.
Buck Dharma played the best solo IMHO
Eddie didn't fear anyone they feared Eddie!!
It is seemed like George and Yngwie had the most takes on that track. It almost seemed like George and Yngwie was battling it out going back and fourth more than the others. Lynch definatlety held his own and made some amazing solos on that track.
That’s a very good point! I could see hear that in the track!😯👍🎸🎸🎸
Especially the extended version they really played way more Bars than all the rest.
I was really impressed with Buck Dharma’s lead break, it was catchy and was played with lots of feel. Neal Schon really made his mark as well!
From my count, Craig Goldy, Vivian Campbell and George Lynch each had 3 bars. Most other players had 2 (Yngwie, Schon, Dharma, Gillis). Can't remember if Cavazo had 1 or 2, but TBH, his tone sucked on that recording, and his solos weren't memorable. Ojeda's was pretty bland, too. He had 1 solo and a fill.
BTW, as far as vocals, Geoff Tate knocked it out of the park. Him and Yngwie were the standouts for me.
@@chrisb2535 agree Geoff Tate killed it. Of course and rightfully so Vivian had many bars since he co wrote the track and of course did the outro solo. It just seems that Lynch and Malmsteen definitely dominated as far as intensity and chops.
Everyone feared Yngwie but gathered around Neal Schon during the sessions.
That was the time for axeman heroes 🤘 great times
