Brave words posted an in depth interview with George Lynch:

Q: Do you think there is any chance of a Dokken re-union in the future?
Lynch: "Well, it is all speculative. I have no information concerning whether it would or would not happen. I know we have tried a few times in the past. We had great offers and opportunities to put the band back together. VH1 came up to us, and wanted us to have our own show, they were going to sponsor the tour. Warner Brother released the old masters and the old catalog. It would have created a wonderful closure for the fans and the band and end on a good note. But for various reasons it never happened. Jeff is out with FOREIGNER; it would be difficult to juggle the two. Don has his obligations. Mick is out with TED NUGENT. So it is going to be tricky. I don't know? I am holding out hopes for maybe 2010 or 2011 things could happen. But after that I think it would be sort of too late. It would be see them before they croak tour. I think we would want to be out here while we are still viable and have youthful energy. I think the band could be better than it ever was. I think the egos would be changed. I think all the drugs and all the bad shit has gone away. We are much more focused and mature. I think we would service a tour a lot better than we have in the past. We were inconsistent in the past. At this point, I don't think we would have that problem. Dokken never really got to be the headliners that that deserved to be and the place that they earned in the rock anarchy. We were just about ready to extend the tour when it got swiped out from under us. We worked a better part of the decade working our way up to get where we thought we needed to be and that is what we were working for. We had that snatched away from us. I hope we can grasp that final pay-off."

Q: Will you be attending NAMM this year? Also, do you have any other tours that you would like to discuss with Bravewords.Com?
Lynch: "Yes, I think I have attended NAMM for the last 20 years. I will be at NAMM in a big way. I will be there Thursday through Sunday. Eventually, if you sit down at any booth at NAMM, I will eventually be there. So fans attending, you don't have to come find me, I will come find you. I have got a lot of products that I have designed and marketed including my Signature guitars. Also, I want to say that I will be going out on the Guitar Generation Tour in late February with Paul Gilbert and Richie Kotzen. It is kind of a G3 thing across the country for about six weeks. Paul Gilbert is the headliner and Richie Kotzen is opening up. Those guys are monsters. Richie is an amazing singer. So I have got my work cut out for me. We will definitely be in very part of the country. The tour kicks off on February 25 in Los Angeles at the House Of Blues I believe. Also, I would like to thank Bravewords.com for the support of Souls Of We.
