George Lynch (musician) - Reuniting Lynch Mob and After

Reuniting Lynch Mob and After

This prompted Lynch to call his former Lynch Mob members Oni Logan, Anthony Esposito and Mick Brown for a reunion of Lynch Mob. The group entered the studio and demo-ed 3 songs (later released as an EP titled SYZYGY). However Logan decided to leave the band to pursue other projects before a full album could be completed. Mick Brown decided to stay with Dokken. George organized a short 13 show U.S. tour for Lynch Mob in 1998 with ex-Badlands front man John West (singer) from N.Y., Anthony Esposito and others.

George himself then decided he wanted to take Lynch Mob in a totally new direction influenced by contemporary bands. The Lynch Mob's radical new look and interesting new musical approach attracted a younger audience. In 1999 they released the album "Smoke This". After touring in support of "Smoke This" Lynch decided to put Lynch Mob on hold for a couple years, but not until he toured with Lynch Mob's original singer Oni Logan, L.A. Guns' bassist Chuck Garric, and Bulletboys' drummer Jimmy D'Anda in late 2001. In early 2002 George began working with a producer/engineer named Sean Fodor on the ill fated Microdot project which featured then unknown vocalist London LeGrand. Only a few songs from that "lost" project have ever seen the light of day. "Bulldog Tyranny" on "The Lost Anthology" and 3 other songs George later released as "The Lynch That Stole Riffness" with Robert Mason taking the helm on vocals. Then in late 2002, George Lynch decided to reform Lynch Mob with original bassist Anthony Esposito and the singer from their 2nd album Robert Mason. Lynch Mob then recorded an album of re-recorded classic Lynch songs from Dokken and Lynch Mob albums, updated to a more contemporary (post-2000) approach and sound.

He also formed a project with former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson called 'Lynch/Pilson'- Wicked Underground. In 2003 Lynch formed 'The George Lynch Group' in which he has continued to record and regularly tour. The George Lynch Group performed a marathon, 26 shows in 30 days, including a much talked about feature on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The line-up is: George Lynch - Guitars, Andrew Freeman - Vocals, Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio) - Drums, Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden/Starwood/Legacy) - Bass. The 2005's "Furious George" album is a cover album, including classic rock tunes from ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin.

On May 13, 2008, Let the Truth Be Known was released under the band name Souls of We . It features London LeGrand (vocals), Johnny Chow (bass), and Yael (drums). Despite this new band and new album, in the early fall of 2008 Lynch embarked on a tour with a reformed Lynch Mob featuring original singer Oni Logan, bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Tommy Aldridge. A new Lynch Mob album, called "Smoke And Mirrors," was released in October 2009 with Logan handling lead vocals.

In 2009 Lynch recorded lead and rhythm guitar tracks for seven songs that appear on the debut album of indie rock singer Raven Quinn. The self titled album was released March 4, 2010.

Lynch toured the spring of 2010 with Souls Of We and will spend the summer and winter touring Lynch Mob. In summer of 2010 'Souls of We' changed their line up and were forced to discontinue with the name. Fan members of the Lynch website are being asked to think up a new name as the project itself will be continuing with a new name and musicians.

Also in 2010, he appeared on a tribute album, Siam Shade Tribute, for Japanese rock band Siam Shade.

George currently lives near Los Angeles where created an instructional guitar website named the Dojo. Lynch also started making in his own hand made "art" guitars which he makes himself at the ESP Guitars USA custom shop facility.
