George Lynch: cross the Rubicon... lynch mob to tour with dokken?!?!?!?!

When asked about a possible Lynch Mob tour in support of the band's comeback studio album, entitled "Smoke And Mirrors," Lynch said, "I'm talking a little preemptively here, but one of the things on the table is a potential Dokken-Lynch Mob tour — kind of like that WWF spectacle where you come out with all that history and get people talking, and that's always good. And we'll play some Dokken songs as well in our set. And they're welcome to play some Lynch Mob songs, but that's not gonna happen... I'm kidding."
Regarding whether he would make an appearance on stage with his former Dokken bandmates if Lynch Mob were to tour with Dokken, Lynch said, "Absolutely. That [would] be part of the deal. I'd come out at the end and we'd have a little reunion, and it'd be awesome. Me and Don [Dokken] could come out, make out for a while, and then we'd dive into a couple of old Dokken songs for old times' sake."
Audio samples of all 13 songs that appear on "Smoke And Mirrors" are available for download at HeavyHarmonies.com. The CD is scheduled for release in Europe on September 18th and October 13th in the U.S. from Frontiers Records.
Lynch Mob was formed by George Lynch after Dokken split up in 1989. The band's first album, "Wicked Sensation," went on to sell over 500,000 units in the U.S. and featured the talents of singer Oni Logan, Anthony Esposito on bass and another former Dokken member Mick Brown on drums. After a tour in support of Queensrÿche, Logan opted out, with Robert Mason taking his place on the follow-up self-titled release. However, Lynch and Brown eventually returned to Dokken, releasing two studio albums until he left again in late 1997 putting together a several new incarnations of Lynch Mob and exploring new sounds with different projects.
