George lynch was one of the best all around players in the 80s. His riffs & rhythms were so melodic yet powerful and dirty it was always a joy to listen to him. I loved the way he flowed from rhythm to lick to lead and back. I wish he would write songs like he used to.
George was always a humble and nice guy.
Was?
Seems like a top bloke, humble, talented, still young and excited about gear!
Such a humble guy,George is the reason and evh is also the reason I grabbed a guitar
George Lynch representou demais, Galo Metal na veia!
Matou a pau.
Notice Lynch doesn't let go of that guitar haha. You know they gave it to him, and that makes me.....really jealous. Great guitars and a Great Musician.
That fucking fire gatur that he had is worth alot of money in the 80s when he was with dokken
So cool to see my hero wearing a t-shirt from my team!
5:43 ACE FREHLEY shirt, very cool. Especially today, it's the 40th anniversary of the Destroyer album !!! Man time is moving right along, 40 years !!
Haha I know him! He used to work at the Carvin Hollywood store and now works for ESP. Really nice guy.
George: 'If I hold it long enough they will think it's mine. Hmmm yes, very good.'
haha
john jones Im going to try that at Guitar Center and see if it works.
@@LONEWOLF-um6tp it does when you're George Lynch :D
ESP doesn't have any real shredders so they had to go out and buy one. Lol. It took me a minute to get that one.
Me too :) Good joke, though.
Scott Patterson I was about to come on here and write exactly what you wrote! I stopped the video after he said that to come on here and write that! But you had already beat me to it! So f****** funny!
My dad has Marshall Ibanez with Marshall amps
Lynch Rulz! Carry on.
I literally live a couple of blocks away from the ESP factory.
First one says "kami" meaning "God" and the second one says "kaze" which means wind. "God wind" refers to the Typhoon that wiped out Kublai Khan's fleet when he attempted to invade Japan from Korea. The "divine wind" that saved the Japanese in the 16th century.
Domo arigato gozaimas, sensei!

A maior torcida metal do mundo, viva a Galo Metal! #GaloMetal
Thanks For the tour George loved it some awesome guitars wish I had any one of them. :)
Enjoyed the tour, Banzai!
Lynch is one of a kind. Great tone and style
Seems like George really just loves gear, looks like a kid in a candy store, and seems to be a good dude!
cool shop. nice Ace Frehley t-shirt to the tech.
Met him in person twice...he's a jerk.But one of my idol's.Never meet your your idol in person. You might be disappointed.
Great tour and great job George.
George is such a cool down to earth guy man. So very cool
George always had the fanciest guitar! Awesome clip.
cool video. thanks guys!
7:06 lol the tech had X japan, galneryus, versailles posters
And I also have to say that this man is one of the most badass shredders I have ever heard 🎸🤘😎
I'd say he is the only shredder I ever liked. He shreds with purpose - or when it serves it's purpose.
Love his style. Very recognizable,
Where Steve Stevens has probably one of the, if not the most precise picking technique of all famous guitar players, George's string attack always seems to come a split second late but never out of rhythm. It might be due to combo of his picking technique and the sound he generates on his guitars.
It gives his playing very unique timing and sound when put together with the rest of the band (any band he plays or has played).
A very well rounded man and musician with passion to be matched
@@mitsanut5869 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
George, my eternal idol, the shirt you rocking is a killer.
It's from an organized fans from the Brazilian soccer team that won last year's National Championship, and I'm obviously a fan of theirs.
The #CAM on the back and on the skull in front means #ClubeAtleticoMineiro, which is the team's name.
Representing.
Lynch rules!!!! I want a tour of that place.
Excellent clip George is pure class act..
You are the man!
That song on a loop was awesome
George Lynch you are the man
Had a Japanese ESP and loved the neck, some one in Colorado is probably super stoked on acquiring it!
Great video!
Thanks for Sharing,George.When I moved out to Cali. I was Living in Van Nuys and after I moved back home I come to find out ESP Guitar Company was on Van Owen,Just a couple Blocks from where I was Staying..If I Knew that Now I would Have went their and applied for a JOB,Atleast until I got my music out and Heard,But hey I'm doing that Now in the Studio working to get my music perfected!
George Looks Awesome Great shape!!!!!
George seems pretty down to earth...
they ALL are nowadays.comes with age and the realization that theres bucketloads of stratospherically talented young pickers of all ages nipping at their heels
I like how he just walks around with that Tele style that he wanted like they're not getting it back anyway.
My LTD EC-1000 came with action that was so ow and buzz free I still can't believe it. You can barely see the strings move to the fret but clear with no fret buzz. Excellent guitar and it's the entry level line...
Great to see them get set up.
EC-1000 isn't entry level. It's a higher end model that comes immediately before you get into the ESP Eclipse.
amazing!
My parents made a deal with me back in may and they said if I learn to play guitar good enough they would buy me a Kami-Kazi guitar. In 2 months i was able to play good enough then I annoyed my parents to the point they got me the guitar
Good for you, Kelsie.
I was a 16 year old guitarist in 1988. Dokken was one of the hair bands I never saw live. Always wished I had
ESP Is awesome I have a Black ESP LTD M-10
& it's an awesome guitar ESP's are great Guitars
George lynch is awesome such a nice guy
Lynch has just taught me so FUCKING much
ESP workers are so kind! I have talked with Todd Binder! He’s awesome! That’s why they have a lot of artists, because they’re kind to their artists! #ESPRules
They build guitars for Him. He also builds his own. George is awsome!
That same Kami-Kaze set of Kanji was on Dez's headband and I asked him the same thing~ he said "Air God", but most WWII historians translated it "Divine Wind" -reminds me of the early 80's footage of George playing "Air Guitar" with a Kramer Softcase (and bending the headstock for the 'Dive')!
I remember that video. It was Jeff and George in a hotel room being silly jokin around makin a commercial with Jeff doing commentary. Deep knee bends and heavy metal faces. Lol.
I still have that video. Lol. Lynch is awsome.
i was a student in 89 at guitar masters studied with mike of riot. george was about to have guest teacher . i dig metal, now i am going 40+yrs but my most wow time was meeting ozzy n zakk/bls
You gotta good sense of humor,George,thanks.
Mine is also a viper esp🎸. I fell in love with it the very first time I played it and so I bought and I’ve had it for eleven years. A $675.00 guitar I bought brand new for &200.00 and I was just not about to pass that up 🎸🎸🎸
Give me 10 minutes in that warehouse..........
Lynch is why I went ESP GUITAR 2x
He did not let go of that guitar throughout the entire segment...hahaha he must of really liked it!! ESP and MR. SCARY ROCK!!!
Its his own Guitar
i remember seeing dokken back in the day. mr lynch is one bad man on guitar
I've never seen an ESP guitar in person! They seem to be very rare?
I love you guitars I use them exclusively :)
"Infinite possibilities with the heart of ESP-Guitars! ^t*r^-***RAVEN'S CRY HOLLYWOOD!
cool
I'm sure the guy's setup is excellent but while shipping around the world climates and humidity have a huge role in the way a guitar plays.
I had a EVH shipped to me and when it got here it was perfect but over time I had to make adjustments and even knock sharp fret edges off (the neck wood had lost moisture and shrunk).
His shirt is from a brasilian soccer team my team. I wonder where did he get it? Galo.
Seems like a cool guy.
What's the song in the background?
this place is a mile from me..
Wish I had jumped on a high end ESP when they were in the 2 K range vs the 4 K range now.
Inflation is screwing everything up now I get it, but double the price overnight was ridiculous.
The Kanji means - divine winds (i.e. Kamakaze)
Can I buy an Engl through ESP. I have used ESP and LTD's for the last 20 years and I saw Engl listed on the ESP website.
yeah, they purchased Engl recently
Nice T-Shirt 🖤🤘 GALO 🐔
I hope they gave him the guitar he was carrying. There is some serious bonding happening to that slab of wire and wood. George, you live the dream while still being a true human being.
Anybody knows the song in the background? Tnx for your answer.
"Blood Drive" off of George's Legacy EP.
Katia Lexi Scapere Thank you. :)
Tilen Sapač The EP is a really inexpensive download. Kill All Control is pretty nice too. The Lynch Mob's Sound Mountain Sessions is another great EP too!
george just bring out MR BONES..we wanna say hi to him,its been a while
How many guitars did ESP sell due to George playing them? I think they may have to give him that tele!
if i i there can they sell guitars in there headquarters?
Hi George
I want to jam with you....pipe deram. I'm a drummer. My leg is cut off. Dang. I knew dug few years ago. Lynch Mob, Kxm and all your other ventures are inspiring, enthusiastically positive and your just a cool dude. (Crying) no leg...no drums...ahhhhhhhh I'm going crazy! Enough about me. You you you....Rock n Roll Mr. Lynch Have an awsome time! Oh man....
yeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!
Lynch is da bomb!! What is the name of that song in the background??
Blood Drive from George Lynch
Thanks man!!
1:56 is that a dean rc7 on the wall, liek its red lol
holy shit theres finally a ltd version of the kamikaze?!?!?!?
George without makeup? I like that he can laugh at himself.
The LTD Kamikaze is definately affordable compared to the ESP. Feels/sounds pretty good :)
What song is this?
i tryed one once it seemed very good but after a close call i got a jackson alltho very good the esp had better hardware it seemed
Did he left with the guitar righ at the end...slick move Black ninja.. Hahaaa
George plays what l do ..ESP AND RANDALL
that's why he does it! :D
Has anyone played or owned any of the high end ESPs? How does ESP compete with Guitars in the same price range? Does anyone have an opinion on the ESP Kirk Hammett model(s).?
well this might help it might not but i own an ltd 7 string which is pretty good sounding and from what i have tried at the store they have a better crunch than most brands like i take one off the rack and play it and then put it back and pick up like a fender or something it doesn't sound as heavy and i have tried a kirk hammett model with the caution sticker and it sounds really good as well now either this helps or it doesn't but i personally prefer esp and ltd over all other brands just because of the sound and price
All ESP guitars are made at the fujigen plant. Fugigen is one of the best guitar builders on the planet for mass produced guitars. Like Ibanez, ESP has never actually built anything. Hoshino is another high end mass guitar builder out of japan.
I think if you haven't bought one yet you will find that the LTD is almost the same as the ESP for a fraction of the cost. LTD also has more options in colors and pickups. I have a Ltd and love it. Can't beat the quality of these guitars.
yellowhorse52 only if it's korean!!
I've played I think 3 ESPs and they were absolutely amazing. But in my opinion, The high end LTDs sounded a little bit better. Now that could just be because of the particular models I compared and the rig I played through at the guitar shop but they all played great, from the high end Japanese made ESPs down to the entry level $200 LTDs.
U didn't know till 27 years!
Cool!
😂
i have an LTD guitar that is the best guitar ive ever had.. or played.... i love it...
oakenshanks Same. I've had Dean, Jackson, Ibanez, Harmony, Kramer, Epiphone guitars, but the LTD held up the best
George did you get to keep that Tele!!!!! I bet you did!
GALOOO!
😂😂@ “hi, my name is George Lynch” in Kanji
a7x ? 1:27
Yeah, weird.
Galo Metal!
WOW!! Great mix! Loud music! hardly heard George and the camera work was fleeting as it passed all of the guitars so no one got a good look at those either. Good stuff!
awww bless your heart
@@DangerousGuitarCom the southern F you. :D
“Best man at all 4 of my weddings…”
George can you get them to give me an LTD SN-1000w please?????
I hope the GL-500T could be re-produced. I want a new sunburst tiger LTD hanging on my wall. I already have the GL-200MT.
#GaloMetal
GALO METAL BH- BRAZIL SOME LAND TO BORN SEPULTUA =)
GALO METAL!!!!!!!!!! \m/
so is ltd a different brand all-together?
Kind of yeah. Think of it like this.......ESP is to LTD as Gibson is to Epiphone. The money all ends up in the same pockets but LTD are made outside of Japan so they are way cheaper. All ESP's are made in Japan.
very nice, thanks for that.
When it comes to price, ESP is the Gibson of hard rock guitars. Insane prices. The LTD Kamikaze is has been discontinued for several years. Makes no sense to me. They sell.
they shoulda added a lynch mean ass lead riff
