George Lynch: metal asylum interview

LYNCH MOB/ex-DOKKEN guitarist George Lynch spoke to Metal Asylum in New Jersey about the latest Lynch Mob album Smoke And Mirrors, touring plans, guitars, and the possibilities of a Dokken reunion.

Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

Metal Asylum: Tell us how you recaptured that classic Lynch Mob Wicked Sensation sound on the new album Smoke And Mirrors?

Lynch: "Well it wasn’t like we went in trying to recapture any type of sound but once we turned into a band after working with each other for several months, between Oni Logan and myself, we subconsciously knew that Wicked Sensation was what we were going for. But…we went into the right studio and used the right equipment to make this the proper follow up to Wicked Sensation."

Metal Asylum: Does it feel like a classic Lynch Mob album to you?

Lynch: "Yeah…it does, but evolved, older, wiser, you know. We were just much more efficient with our time and money this time. Between the writing, the mixing, recording, it was stretched out over some time. If you squeeze it all together it was about six weeks. But the writing was really spread out over several months because we would play some shows, come home and write, go back out on the road again. But the actually recording was done in four days, guitars, bass and drums. The vocals took some more time."
