Everything you wanted to know about George Lynch, but we’re afraid to ask including:
Who really played on the “Breaking The Chains” record and who George says did not?
He auditioned twice for Ozzy Osbourne, once before Randy Rhoads and once after Brad Gillis.
For a short time he joined Ratt, while Warren Demartini joined Dokken!
Why he passed on joining RATT in 2018?
Did he receive offers to join Whitesnake & Judas Priest?
Does he think the original Dokken line up will record one more record?

The first time I heard George, I was hooked. He remains my greatest influence to this day.
Absolute class act! As much as his shredding is legendary I think his rhythm playing and riff writing is equally as good.
yeah, when I first heard all that intro riffing on Kiss of Death, I was blown away n rewound the tape several times
:)
George is my guitar hero growing up as a teenager in the 80s. Absolutely loved him and still love listening to his playing. I served him coffee in a little town on the edge of Phoenix called Cave Creek. I about shit my pants when I saw him walk in. He was humble and kind and he sat down and talk to me for like half an hour about his recording rig because we had the same type of recording rig. Anyhow he was very nice to me I couldn’t of been any happier that day. I got to buy him a cuppa coffee and then make it for him.
nice! I've met him twice signed my bfta disc & esp browsure...he said the Ferrari in the hunter video wasn't his but rented.... Now that I'm older, I'm preferring Jake E. Lee and other players over him, But I still know he's really talented....
I'd love to hear George, Jake and Warren play together.
I have been wanting to see that for years.
Dream team of guitarists. Add Chris Poland.
Yeah, like their own G3
Don’t forget Carlos cavazo. Need some of that Flying V sound from his fingers to compliment the others too!
Christina
I purchased one of George’s custom guitars off his website. I got off the phone with him the other night. Very gracious and professional man, I’m quite excited. As a 12-13 year old I never thought I could ever afford expensive dream guitars let alone one made by one of my guitar heroes. More importantly I can tell that he really is a man of conviction who has a passion for what he does. Lately I’ve taken a deeper look at his music and his work with Shadow Train/Shadow Nation. Mr. Scary is really an awesome person. I’m very humbled and gracious to have him make me a guitar and I will be playing it all the time. Rock on George! I also had no idea Richie Faulkner was his son in law, Richie is one of my all time favorite guitar players. Very cool stuff, fantastic interview.
George was the guy that inspired me to start guitars in the late 80s. I doubt I was the only one that picked it up because of him.
FACT
George didn't inspire me to pick up a guitar. That goes to Neal Schon, KK Downing, and Glenn Tipton. But George was the one who inspired me to not put it down.
Guilty lol
I was originally inspired to play lead guitar because of the soaring leads on the song Heavy Metal by Don Felder, but George became the guy I wanted to emulate in a sense because he was so wicked on the guitar
Lynch Mob: Wicked Sensation. It's just awesome, George Lynch's best album.
Yes, Ol George was definitely doing his thing with Lynch Mob, a superb album. He was looking cool as shit with that band, stumbling all around during his solos. Dude has style.....
Wicked Sensation had a godly guitar tone!
Played the hell outta that album freshman year in college. Looks like it's time to go back in time.
under lock and key was georges peak
One of the best metal guitarists ever! Ungodly player with mind boggling solos!
Agreed
I know Blando at 17 who played with George and many others Rob
Well done. George is a legend. Always been my all time favorite guitarist. MR.SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!
Met George in the late 90’s and such a nice guy. Been my guitar hero since 1981! 🤘🏽
After all of these years, Brad Gillis' guitar playing on "Speak Of The Devil" still is amazing. Seeing George Lynch agree speaks volumes.
Love that albulm! I have collector cassette made in holland. Same albulm but called "talk of the devil"
Brad is amazing I have a cd with him and ozzy it's awesome couldn't figure out who.played the crazy whammy bar then I remembered he filled in for a while
That was the first album I ever bought and I was not into guitar heroes at that time. I had to defy my parents and buy it despite their wishes. It was many years later that I found out it was Brad. I thought the playing was fantastic and I love that album to this day....I know every note and sound that came out of Brad’s guitar as I must have listed to it several hundred times. For me, those were the original versions of those songs and all others had to compare with Brad. Cheers.
George is by far my favourite all time guitarist.
Mine to bro!
Hands down the best in depth George Lynch interview in years! As usual Jason, great job and thank you for being such a humble host.
Thank you, I’m happy so many people have said this was his best interview, I have to have Jorge back on.
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen You should interview Greg Leon.
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen I noticed George got a little bit annoyed by u more than once lol
That is hands down the best George Lynch interview I've ever seen as he just came across as himself, like two friends just having a real conversation, and shooting the breeze, more please from Jorge one of my main guitar influences along with Eddie,Randy,Brad,Sykes,Warren, Shenker,MacAlpine,Satriani, Gilbert,Timmons etc.
Thanks I appreciate that, I think Jorge will return
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen let's hope so Jason
Mr. Scary is a killer instrumental! Might be top 10 all time.
FACTS!!
George is freakin’ hilarious. Would love to see a part 2 interview and dive into some of those classic Dokken songs to better understand his songwriting process.
Thanks very much for this…George is just a great guy, very humble and a total legend.
Thanks this one was fun
This was possibly the best interview so far. Thanks again, Jason! You're the man! Well, I don't know if requests are on the table, but any chance on bringing Dave Meniketti? 😁👊🎸
Yes yes yes, Dave Meniketti is in some ways the one of the principle figures of musical influence and inspiration for the "hair band" generation of musicians on the entire West Coast.... near God like status for those who know.
An amazing vocalist & guitarist with the best, most consistent, body of work in the 1980s, still fresh and listenable today whereas a lot of the 80s stuff hasn't aged well... be honest.
Unfortunately however, even though their music was phenomenal straight ahead hard riff oriented melodic insanely great rock n roll, Y&T never cultivated that near religious mytical "image", cultural freak agent of change or sex symbol which almost all the "major" rock stars that become household names do in terms of marketing. This goes all the way back to Elvis, The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, KISS, Motley, U2, Bon Jovi, Poison, Lady Gaga, etc.
Maybe the problem was that Y&T was just too damm good as a live band they didn't feel the need to have a gimmick, wear mackup & costumes lol
With that said, as a live band in a smoky club, the vibe in the air, the energy off the stage at a Y&T show, even to this day, is the closest thing to hard rock heaven most people will ever experience:)
When they hit the road again, GO!
Thank You George for signing my GL 256 Guitar
George is an amazing guitar player, one of my favorites.
Great interview. It was great to see him relax, open up and just talk. Your becoming the musician whisperer. 🤘
Lol I appreciate that, good title!
One of my all-time favorite musicians and an awesome guitar player, truly a rock legend!
Love you George! You've been my hero since 82
George you are my hero and we’re my primary influence playing through high school #respect Always filling those empty spaces between chords 🙌 good interview
I grew up in the eighties listening to George with Dokken and his projects thereafter. it's just such an incredible feeling of growing up to that era of music and seeing the transition that George has taken from a young gunslinger to a more refined relaxed down to earth regular guy settling into his years. I as well.
Only three minutes in and it's already great... George Lynch is hilarious. :-D
Finally George did an instrumental guitar album. I’ve been waiting for years and years. It’s been a dream of mine and just when I gave up hope, here it is. Yayyyy
George is so humble,But he is one of the greatest guitarist of all time,his style is all his own,the riffs the phrases you know it's george when he's playing
Jason - you did a marvelous job in this interview. I have watched every GL interview under the sun - and this is at the top. Great job and thank you!
Thanks Sam, I’m happy reading so many people saying this was his best interview!
I have got to talk to George at a Guitar Clinic where he used a GL 56 Strat Style GL Model - He played through his own Marshall Head-
Great job, Jason, on the interview! I met George at a guitar demo in Atlanta, maybe early 2000's. He played a few songs, spoke to the small crowd at this guitar shop, then came down to speak to us. He was genuine, kind and signed autographs and spoke to everyone there that wanted to speak to him. He was friendly, super nice, and his humor shined through in the brief few sentences we exchanged, as I said I learned much of my guitar playing from his albums and wanted to be just like him, to which he laughed and said I should have higher standards haha! Such a genuine and down to earth guy! Very few human beings have that much talent with that much heart. Thanks for all the musical light you have brought into this world, George!
George is an amazing guitarist! Loved to hear him speak highly of Eddie Van Halen and even liked to hear his respect for David Lee Roth. Seen an interview with Ritchie Blackmore where even he said that EVH was the greatest guitarist ever. To get Ritchies nod is saying something. So George is right..Ed passing away hit a lot harder. He inspired so many. Can't wait to hear George's instrumental album!!! You know that's going to be some great stuff!!!!
I guess everyone prefers EVH over Randy Rhoads was an amazing guitar player
I like them both. Randy played totally different than Ed. Yes he borrowed some stuff but who didn’t. If you used tapping you were ripping off Ed is what people used to think.
@@lorettasearcy2023 Eddie was a physical monster on the guitar with a fire the world never heard before.
Randy was a great player with some wicked use of scales but I appreciated his classical composing skills and overall vibe/tone more so then just having mad skills.
Basically Eddie changed and influenced guitar playing on a global level that transcended hard rock/metal whereas Randy opened the aural compositional doors of change for hard rock/metal music & musicians.
@@lorettasearcy2023 I love them both but evh did a lot more than tapping. Randy unfortunately didn't get to be with us long enough and his music was the greatest too! Back to George, truly another amazing talent right there!!
@@thedesertdweller great answer!!!!
This was probably my favorite of your interviews. George Lynch is so funny and humble!
Thank you, I think this was my favorite
Thanks Jason. That was a great and fun interview! Hope you can have him on again.
Pre-ordered my bundle several weeks ago. Very excited! Lots of interesting history in this interview that I didn't know. Thanks for a great interview, Jason & "Jorge".
Richie Faulkner is truly incredible. But a nod from George Lynch himself is pure gold. Great interview. Thanks to you and George, a thoughtful and gracious guest.
Just saw Faulkner with Priest! I agree!
By far the best George Lynch interview I've ever watched. Thanks for the insight and some of the little known stories. He seemed more genuine and I guess that's a credit to your friendship Thanks ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thank you, I’m happy so many people have said this was his best interview, I have to have Jorge back on.
George and Eddie are the two reasons I’m a 55 yr old guitarist!
They got me through a lot of hard times.
George seems so down to earth and very mischievous.
I bet he was fun on tour!
Another great interview with one of my fav guitarists! I left knowing more about George outside the usual topics and info. Thanks Jason 👍🏽
That was a great interview, thank you very much.
Thank you, this was a really fun one
King George...the spirit of guitar🙏
Great interview Jason! George is one of the greats… really enjoyed the recent ‘Dirty Shirley’ CD with Dino Jelusic.
This was a cool interview Jason I vaguely remember seeing some of this 2 year's back ,I am happy I got to enjoy the whole video this time thanks for this 😀..🍻🤘🎸😈
This interview is pure gold! Thank you and thanks to George for being so open! Like many others here George is my ultimate guitar hero.
Loved the interview. I never realized George had it so tough when he was young. I guess I only knew from 1970 on. Great stories and George seemed to open up a bit more......hopefully there really is a part 2 of the interview down the road.Thank you Jason!!!
Hi Jason, very cool interview with George lynch. This is one of the best one’s I’ve seen on your channel. I’d definitely tune in to part two, road stories, stage fails, drunken head butts, rock n roll stories that’s entertainment man keep up the good work. Also the artists laying down life experience like 9-5 jobs and struggling to make it is energizing while I’m struggling myself. Mr lynch is very inspirational and just bad ass. Thanks Jason, thank you Mr Lynch for a great podcast.
Thank you George, I appreciate you taking the time to share some nice words and yes we need Jorge part 2
Man, that Sacred Groove was awesome at the time! “Memory Jack” turned me on for quite some time. I like this guy because he is shooting from the hip at all times, making that shit up as he goes. A fellow thinker, doing his own thing.....he just happens to play the guitar.
Awesome interview!! Thanks for that
I love that he put Jorge instead of George haha. Mr. George Lynch is one of my heroes on guitar. I love his style of playing, he’s still got that fire on that instrument. 🎸👍
Señor Jorge Lynch 😂
He is my guitar hero too! I'm seeing him play live for the first time in October!!
What a cool interview. Thanks Jason!
Watching this one again, all the way through, rewound a couple bits, brilliant content. Be great to have a Part 2 with George. Your relationship together is defo a fun one. Love the way he gets you to smirk and brings a laughter your way Jason, lol. Brilliant. And what a musician and artist GL is too
AWESOME!!! Thanks for this Jason. Best regards from a longtime UK subscriber
An awesome interview Jason. Have been a lifelong Dokken fan and have always rated George Lynch as one of the best guitarists EVER!!!
The BEST interview. Big fan from Down Under, Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man dude George Lynch is my favorite guitar player of all time he is the very last one ..he is royalty.and and still shredding like Mr scary..rock on George I saw you at pop's bar in October of 1999 ..you was killer you had a black double neck guitar.but you only had one neck and you was playing the hell out of that sucker I've always worshipped you playing man thanks for all the great music over 40 years ago.keep shredding .. peace .....
Hello,you there, Dion Tillman here. using Jeff's tablet I always loved George and always will, he's come a long way ✌👍❤
Great Interview! Thanks
Amazing interview, you have great questions that I’ve been dying to see George answer. Pre-ordered the album too woohoo
Thanks Max, I appreciate you saying that, I was trying to get something a little different
George is so quiet and chill... it doesn't seem like he would be the agitator so many make him out to be in the Dokken stories....
George is the coolest, love him.
This is the greatest interview of George I've ever seen/read. Jason you are slaying this!
Thanks Josh! I wanted to call this the best George Lynch interview ever, but I thought it might be too much pressure
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen That's what makes the diamonds! \m/ \m/
George is so humble he doesn't realize he was a strong competitor to Eddie...Don Dokken I would take over Roth any day. Don had a real voice...Dave had "swag".... I heard Dokken has a new album coming out...I cant wait. George you are amazing...thank you for all the great music.
I hope you get him back on, we didn’t get a lot of Dokken information from 84-89. Also Lynch Mob and through the 90’s.
Yes I think Jorge will be back, he’s talked about those years a lot, so I tried to mix it up a little
@ 5:50 Perfect example of his humor: Years ago I brought a Knucklebonz Lynch figurine for him to sign, and he told me "You know, grown men shouldn't be playing with dolls" haha
Great conversation. Thank you, Mr Green! 🧤
Thanks Jocke
I met George at a clinic. I acted completely goofy and weird because he was such an important guitarist for me. He signed my photo "Stay Sane." 😂
Lynch said similar when he met Jeff Beck
@@bradford_shaun_murray Thank you!
@@image30p oh yeah, he said he was very nervous meeting Jeff Beck. I think he only met him once.
I have sat with George more than once and had some really great conversation. Cool interview!
Met George in 86 when they were supporting Accept in Dublin...had bugger all for the band to sign so Mick, Jeff and George signed...a Pernod barmat..the expressions were priceless
Best George Interview I’ve heard! Kudos Jason!
I appreciate that, I’m happy to be hearing that a lot
And here it is in 2023 and George is playing with Dokken. I must say I loved this interview. It was great to hear George tell his side from all the things in the past.
This was so awesome to hear George when he was kicking back and just relaxing..he is one of maybe 3 top influences for me..I am from the 80's,the best ever IMO time for the greatest guitar players ever.
Great job done here!
I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great interview again
Man Jason ! You are a natural at interviewing these rockers! This one with George was particularly great to watch..huge fan of Mr. Scary. Thank you for doing what you do!🎼🎸
George has a typcial midwest Sardonic very dry sarcastic sense of humor. He would have fit right in with me and my friends growing up in Chicago on the south side. I never understand how people don't know when he's taking the piss out of them.
Is this Obama?
By far the greatest interview with Jorge ever! Thanks for all you do, Jason. Hope you can interview Anthony Esposito and or Oni Logan ✌️
Never seen George so relaxed. As a straight 54 year old male I have to say, he gets better looking with age. As far as the interviewer, you made him that relaxed. You did a great job.
Just a great interview front to back. Lots of substance to George Lynch.
George is a beast! Great interview. He helped create the soundtrack of an era and is still following his passion. A gentleman, a scholar musician, and a stud!
I think you need to do a regular live broadcast with George. Forget about the interview - this was more like an enjoyable talk show. Looking forward to episode 2.
Man, I really LOVED this interview.
Brilliant interview.
Looking forward to this
It’s a good one!
I’m glad the algorithm brought this up to me today. I’ve always loved George’s playing.
awesome interview
Great interview... The one guitarist that we all know deserved so much more. His story is like one out of the Bible. Traveling with Ozzy not getting paid then losing your home. Can't wait to hear the new album.
Need more of this!
Another kick ass interview!
Jason …. This is one of your best interviews , although I love them all . You ask great questions ! And I like how in depth you get ! Always get excited when you upload a new interview ! I hope you can do an interview soon with producers , like Beau Hill , Max Norman etc . Again, thanks for your channel 👍🏻💥🎶🍻
Thanks Rob, that means a lot, I’m glad you like the interviews… I’m hoping to try some producers soon
This and Jeff Pilson.
Great interview
Hell yeah I'll be there. I hope I can make the premier. Awesome
George is the man! I enjoy all his projects! Especially sweet and lynch. Looking foward to the next one.
What a fantastic interview!
Great interview. Wonderful.
Thanks Manny!
Great interview Jason with one of the all time greatest!
Great interview !!
Awesome chat man! I love the Lynchmeister, his playing has had a massive impact on myself in a way that so few did, much like the late Great Gary Moore, Michael Schenker and the sadly other late Great King Edward Van Halen. Love the guy, Under Lock and Key, Wicked Sensation and his solo album Sacred Groove - my top 3 picks for Lynch at his best.
Another really interesting interview…cheers 👍
Thanks John
very underrated guitarist George Lynch is a legend!!
Great interview - well done getting George - a big name for your excellent channel - just subscribed Jason cheers from The People's Republic of England
Appreciate the subscription
George is a great dude, you can just tell. Putting up with this dude, George you are a legend- keep tearing that guitar up.
Wow - George is a really great guy - great interview Jason. Love how George has such a killer work ethic - 9 new albums coming out this year alone - incredible. He does have a killer sense of humor as well, Can't wait to hear his instrumental album. It's also great to see how involved George still is in his music - great player and great guy.... Damn, I was on the ARMY in the early 1980's and was stationed at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. Every weekend we would go to the Riverwalk to hang out and that would have been so cool to have seen George Lynch tearing it up in a Mariachi trio - so cool!!!!
Great interview, so much discussed that with hadn’t heard before. Briefly met George when he travelled to Australia to do a promotional meet and greet at a musical instrument store for ESP and Randall , he was very generous with his time and had a nice chat. Awesome guy almost sold him an amp lol
This interview is awesome man! George lynch is such a legend
I’m glad you enjoyed it
