Total admiration! Warrior, Gunslinger, 'Guitarist of the Roundtable' -- Slays with wit, hashtags and backs it all up by laying down notes with his own sound, tone, vibrato and consummate craftsmanship...So, back to Mr. Scary!
George Lynch will forever be one of my favorite guitar gods. It's crazy that in the late 70s you couldve seen Lynch, Rhoads, and EVH randomly at some dive bar in LA any weekend.
George absolutely ripping it up. Looks cool and glad he’s aging gracefully. The old rockers that buyout all of the black hair dye at CVS look rediculous.
I'm learning this on guitar right now. What a lot of folks wouldn't understand is that the track on the album has about 5 layers of guitar. So to make it sound this big with one guitar is quite the feat. Kudos to George. He's lost exactly nothing.
Damn, with the towel he looks like he just finished his workout at the local YMCA and then decided to come outside and play. I saw him at the Fox in Detroit in 85. He was awesome then and is STILL awesome. His playing has gotten better with age.
I love how he would make his guitar sound like a screaming teradactle. Back in 84 we would warm up the Atari 800 and play whatever to Tooth and Nail B side. Record player would just play the same side over and over. George Lynch really stood tall among rock musicians back then.
George has a serious F’ing sunburn on his left shoulder no? Is that why he’s got the towel draped across his shoulders? This is a F’ing LEGENDARY jam man so glad you caught it for posterity!
He will always be a great guitarist. Just wish him and Dokken could have weathered the storm. For me, he is what got me into Dokken. His masterful and insane guitar playing. I wish him and the rest of Dokken all the best.
This is one of my favorite guitar instrumentals from the 80's. (Dokken, Back for the Attack, 1987). This may be obvious; but, guitar instrumentals really work best when they are composed like real songs. Great playing from the band and Mr. Lynch!
I can remember seeing them live in 1987.. I am now 57 years old.. Most of you young guys have no clue all of us knew how to rock.. Most of us listen to new metal also. Hardcore stuff now.
Warriors...all three of them. Met George at a coffee shop I was working at. My high school guitar God walks up to the counter and I bout sh-t my pants. He treated me super nice. Hung out with me, offered to swap recording ideas. Don says he's a jerk but he was really kind and humble with me. He is by far the most alive, and creative guitar god of that era still slinging his axe; extra ordinary.
I always included the overall sound and voice of the singer. I didn't know I could be so mesmerized by guitar solos until I heard George in another band. Now I hear him all the time. Whether in a band with vocals or instrumental. Or if he talks^^, I like to hear that too ;)
This warms my heart...he is one of the most inspirational guitarists during the 80's to motivate my playing in my teens...also since his sound has always been so technical but so RAW (comparable with Dave Mustain or Chuck Schuldinger having that rough edge). So different from the other high speed virtuosos. He is smart with his pauses, but get's it down so nasty...I love it!
One of my favorite songs to listen to as a ride my motorcycle on the Tail of the Dragon! Observing the speed limits I swear!!! No, the edges of my tires are not worn out! They came that way!
Hahahaha! The fk'ng phrase meister strikes again!! Yet another devastating,completely improvised,slippery AF lead break from the absolute master! Thanks for sharing this gem.
More like Mr. Shredder!!!! Broke the mold with his style and technique. One of the last great Guitar 🎸 God's to emerge from the 1980's Sunset Strip scene and Go Global with his extraordinary talent!
George has that Joe Perry level of cool. Comes from being comfortable with yourself and your age . It's when you try to cling to the past that you end up looking silly .
I absolutely L🤍VE the white hair. 🧑🏻🦳⚡️ The few I am getting, I would never attempt to cover-I waited for so long, 51 years! Lol. George and his spiky hair was totally unique back in the day and now this white is amazing. So glad he is looking great, feeling great & playing divinely!🙌🏼🎸
He may not be the most technical(still amazingly technical), But the electricity that courses through his fingers into the guitar and out through the amp is second to none!! IMO
Saw him in exciter , at the Starwood like 1978 , I think , the band was moving all over the stage while ripping ! Four fingers , all up and down the neck . 10 +

😂
George Looks awesome. He looks like a master who left the Jedi order to pursue his dream of being a musician
Yes, aging gracefully is so much better than trying to hang on to your youth by artificial means that just make you look 10x worse.
Lol. I know, right?!
Exactly! Lol. He is too! Jedi guitar player.
😄
Randy Rhoads always said GL was the best 👊💀🍻🚬
If I could just be 1% as cool as George I'd have it made!
Your pretty cool man! I've learned from some of your videos
Can we get some love please, for the bass player and the drummer? What a kick ass rhythm squad giving it up for George! A truly outstanding trio.
I noticed, what a great band!
Michael Devin is the Bassist but do not know the Drummer unfortunately
Awsome!
I was gonna say poor Bass Player is getting a workout but killing it at the same time!
If I close my eyes I swear it's Mick Brown & Jeff. Shout out to the bassist and drummer
George Lynch looks like what Steven Segal thinks he looks like.
Best comment.
💯👍🤣
He thinks he can play as good too lmao😂
Oh shit. Yes. Winner.
LMAO. Best comment ever right here.
Holy Shit! George is 67 years old and is still an absolute beast on Guitar! Mr Scary indeed! 😈🎸🤘
When that is what you did for a career for your entire life you never loose it.
Father Time ticks on, hard to believe.
George Lynch will forever be one of my favorite guitar gods. It's crazy that in the late 70s you couldve seen Lynch, Rhoads, and EVH randomly at some dive bar in LA any weekend.
George is becoming the Gandalf of rock guitar.
LOL. I'M AN OLD
DOKKEN FAN
FROM JERSEY...
GANDALF LIVES!
This isn’t even his final form.
George absolutely ripping it up. Looks cool and glad he’s aging gracefully. The old rockers that buyout all of the black hair dye at CVS look rediculous.
When you own the fact that you'll never be in your 20's again, you never get old. You just get aged like whiskey.
Black hair Dye? LMFAO🤪
Yes, like Michael Sweet unfortunately. Not a good look. George looks exceptional.
I'm 53 years old and still head banging to this!!!!
He’s always stayed in great shape and it shows in his playing. Still has the quick hands and the sharp musical instincts.
Stupid. Staying “in great shape” has nothing to do with “quick hands” and “sharp musical instincts”😂 Shawn Lane and Johnny Hiland were/are proof.
In great shape? The dude smokes and looks likes he’s 80 lol😂
@@anthonylove821 Yup, he's a smoker. He is not is shape, he is just not fat.
I'm learning this on guitar right now. What a lot of folks wouldn't understand is that the track on the album has about 5 layers of guitar. So to make it sound this big with one guitar is quite the feat. Kudos to George. He's lost exactly nothing.
Not a damn thing.
Agreed
Damn, with the towel he looks like he just finished his workout at the local YMCA and then decided to come outside and play. I saw him at the Fox in Detroit in 85. He was awesome then and is STILL awesome. His playing has gotten better with age.
I 100% Agree!
George is a legendary beast of a player!! His shredding is always unpredictable, uncommon, impressive, and scary!!
Was really quite amazed, had no idea he could still play like this
That LP sounds glorious. It fits his style and genre so well. Great to see him playing a vintage Custom✊
Rocking the hell out that 58 L.P. as good of tone as I've ever heard him put out a true 6 string master. 2thumbs up mr george. Thanks for posting.
One of my all-time favorite guitar instrumentals.
Lynch Mobs version of Tie Your Mother Down is almost better than Queens…Brian’s tone is just better IMO but Lynch took that song and tore it up 🤘
@@lifeson8362 I'll look for it. Thanks for the heads up, Alex! And you're right, Brian had one of the best lead tones of all time.
Absolutely!
I love how he would make his guitar sound like a screaming teradactle. Back in 84 we would warm up the Atari 800 and play whatever to Tooth and Nail B side. Record player would just play the same side over and over. George Lynch really stood tall among rock musicians back then.
Hell yeah
Lol pterodactyl
A simpler time without the damn net.
Atari 800!!! Yes! Still have mine!
@@azjammin6663 I still use mine! And my 1200XL and 400!
Always on the cuff of going off the rails yet always in control.
Legend.
Best live version I think I've ever heard!
George is still and always been a bad ass guitar player, nuff said 👍🎸
Yessir
George has always had it!Great hearing him play the old Dokken songs,met him in Tucson Az,wish he would come back and play again,never gets old!
He’s like the aged sensei who can take down the brilliant student using his forefinger. If Santa was born to rock. Looks good on him.
George is a complete 5⭐ Wizard! Kudos to the whole band & nice upload YTUser
Lynch is a legendary guitarist, i used to see him play in the Hollywood clubs way before dokken, i don't remember what band, back in 1979-80
maybe Exciter or the Boys
Old man Lynch still has the skills...🇺🇸
GL is one of my favorite guitar players. Saw Dokken back in the day. Don Dokken is a bitch.
And that shit guitar tone hes always had.
George is the coolest. His guitar tone/growl at 3:46 is just...WOW!
George has a serious F’ing sunburn on his left shoulder no?
Is that why he’s got the towel draped across his shoulders?
This is a F’ing LEGENDARY jam man so glad you caught it for posterity!
The whole band is great!
He's still got it. And I dig that triple P.A.F. Les Paul. It definitely has that Frampton vibe and the tone out of it is pure butter.
He will always be a great guitarist. Just wish him and Dokken could have weathered the storm. For me, he is what got me into Dokken. His masterful and insane guitar playing. I wish him and the rest of Dokken all the best.
68 and still shredding like there's no tomorrow.
I’m impressed how he plays this without a whammy bar. And also how he gets an LP Custom to sound like any of his other guitars.
I think a few times he reached for the bar though and oops, playing the Les Paul today! Agree though, sounds great. George is sharp AF.
One genius on guitar and two great players is enough for true R&R !
@SilverJustice
👍 thanks!
This is one of my favorite guitar instrumentals from the 80's. (Dokken, Back for the Attack, 1987). This may be obvious; but, guitar instrumentals really work best when they are composed like real songs. Great playing from the band and Mr. Lynch!
Had the opportunity to open for this line up in Sturgis 2021...Michael Devin and Jason Sutter on drums...what a show it was
Killer playing and tone!
Bad Ass George Lynch!!! Rock ON!!!
George is so underrated!
I can remember seeing them live in 1987.. I am now 57 years old.. Most of you young guys have no clue all of us knew how to rock.. Most of us listen to new metal also. Hardcore stuff now.
The GOAT...and that bass player is kickin some ass on top of it
Master👑🎸 George🔥🔥👏👏👏... Epic Play🤘...Legend of Hard and Heavy 👍
Warriors...all three of them. Met George at a coffee shop I was working at. My high school guitar God walks up to the counter and I bout sh-t my pants. He treated me super nice.

One of the 80’s Rock Icons!
67 yrs young!!!! Dude is an inspiration
67 years old and still killing it!
I haven't seen a vid of him in a while, surprised how looks now, but then again I forget how old I am now too. Sounds awesome on that LP.
I always included the overall sound and voice of the singer. I didn't know I could be so mesmerized by guitar solos until I heard George in another band. Now I hear him all the time. Whether in a band with vocals or instrumental. Or if he talks^^, I like to hear that too ;)
Ripping!! So inspiring! Long live Lynch!
After 10 years of getting back into playing everyday i can finally say George Lynch has found his voice again!! The past few years have been rough
It's great to have the lynch back at full shred power !
I cannot believe he's 67 years old in this video. He aged well and his chops are still there.
damn, i was wondering. Time just marches on....
He is known for staying in good health.
I have a feeling he stays away from dope and alcohol.
This warms my heart...he is one of the most inspirational guitarists during the 80's to motivate my playing in my teens...also since his sound has always been so technical but so RAW (comparable with Dave Mustain or Chuck Schuldinger having that rough edge). So different from the other high speed virtuosos. He is smart with his pauses, but get's it down so nasty...I love it!
STILLLLL playing perfect at his age. Simply amazing!
One of my favorite songs to listen to as a ride my motorcycle on the Tail of the Dragon!
Observing the speed limits I swear!!!
No, the edges of my tires are not worn out! They came that way!
Hahahaha! The fk'ng phrase meister strikes again!! Yet another devastating,completely improvised,slippery AF lead break from the absolute master! Thanks for sharing this gem.
Very good!- you still got it George! Very creative instrumental song-all over the neck.
Phenomenal footage of three Gods at work
How about that bass player? 🤘🏻
Gettin’ it!
I've never seen him play it on a Les Paul. The guy is a beast.
He's playing a 3 Pickup Black Beauty Custom which is shocking since he doesn't use that normally
It does have different tone to it.
George is amazing and the rhythm section is killing it! Awesome!!!
Hahahahaa! Fkng George is fierce AF and killing it! Stripped down and deadly. Bass/Vocals & Drums are outstanding. Tour THIS!
These 3 have an unbelievable talent
I feel like I’m some ways he’s gotten better these last years and sounds like his old self !
Almost 70 but still killing it. I wish I am that cool when I get old
More like Mr. Shredder!!!! Broke the mold with his style and technique. One of the last great Guitar 🎸 God's to emerge from the 1980's Sunset Strip scene and Go Global with his extraordinary talent!
Massive tone, the metal guitar chop encyclopedia right there
My beloved guitar hero, George Lynch!~~~
Wow this would’ve been great to see live. Love it.
Incredible! Thanks George!
i love that each iteration of this track is diffeent.
George has that Joe Perry level of cool. Comes from being comfortable with yourself and your age . It's when you try to cling to the past that you end up looking silly .
Every word.
I used to listen to this song on cassette every morning before high school great song
Thanks for sharing. I was there. Definitely one of my all time favorite guitarist.
Awesome, I was just wondering when and where this was if you don’t mind? Lucky 🍀 you!
GEORGE LYNCH (one of MY) HERO s 😍😍
When you got george lynch and his guitar you don't need a vocalist !
Specially when they are playing an instrumental song....
George Lynch THE BEAST. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
나훈아 선생님이 기타 치시는줄 알았네요 ㅎㅎ 멋진 연주 멋진 영상 잘보고 갑니다. ^^ 멋지게 나이드셨네요
He is soo good and looks so healthy! Absolutely love it! Blew my socks off! He's even better now at 67 than he was in his 30's :) Amazing performance.
I absolutely L🤍VE the white hair. 🧑🏻🦳⚡️ The few I am getting, I would never attempt to cover-I waited for so long, 51 years! Lol. George and his spiky hair was totally unique back in the day and now this white is amazing. So glad he is looking great, feeling great & playing divinely!🙌🏼🎸

o.m.g. thanks for sharing the memory. I'm reading a book about that era of the LA music scene right now
George is one of the most innovative guitarist out there he is a master at his guitar and fingers!
The Moses of metal.
Imo the greatest instrumental featuring guitar shredding
여전히 살아있는 멋진연주
If it's one man who's enjoying life, it's George!!! Barefoot and all!!!
This lineup is the best George has played in, idk what you say.
This is badass. He's completely under rated.
Jammin' Mr. Scary on a 58 Custom!! AWESOME!!!!
He's an amazing musician!
Mr. Scary himself and his incredible guitar playing was great then and still plays amazing TO this DAY!!!🤘🏻
Top of my list for guitar solo/songs all time.. still play it to this day..
Ripping it up like a 25 year old. Love the humbuckers.It's the way God intended.
So great!
one of the greats
The ever evolving George lynch still scary as ever 💥
🤘Incredible🤘 This could've been the Super Bowl halftime show...just say'n! 🤣
The master of creating the most badass tone with his hands.
Crushing a classic.
