When Oni Is away from the drink, not complaining about the sound levels, and committed to the band, he's fantastic - the voice of the Lynch Mob.
Rob is a true professional who simply lacks the ability to miss a note, but it was the writing chemistry that made the George / Oni relationship great.
well, once you have heard both live... there is no comparison. Frankly Rob is total pro. His voice is on all the time. Whereas Oni, was terribly hit and miss. And even when he is on live, its mediocre.
@JEDDAKOFPHX I think they're both about on par with one another, although Oni is much more bluesy and soulful IMHO. I also feel that there would have been no Robert without Oni being there first, as they both sound incredibly similar, and Robert was likely picked because of that similarity.
As a fan & guitarist....the " Wicked Sensation " album/CD is definitely George at his absolute best.....He pulled out ALL the strings, guns, hallucinagins and guts for that recording.... Its definitely a "must have" for any up n comer guitarist.
@dxvolt Every era in music is meant to come to an end. I love music, old and new, and refuse to close my mind to different styles. As a great symphony conductor once said, there's only two types of music: good and boring. Also, "just because you don't like it don't mean it ain't no good..."
How gay does Esposito look with the blow dryer on his hair? I love George & Dokken but song wise Dokkens album was better or more commercial than Georges at this time. They farked a good thing after Back for the Attack.
this was one of my least favorite lynch mob songs, I always go back to dance of the dogs or cold is the heart, but after seeing a live show of this video and hearing them harmonize the vocals on chorus, I all of a sudden love this song now.
Unfortunately this is where a lot of the "sampled" vocals in live performances came from. A LOT of the late 80s/early 90s bands were using them. Given Oni's performance here it kind of makes sense that they would start using them for the lead vocals as well. He rocked on the album though.
Hi Lynch Mob Fans! Have you heard new Dokken? I believe he misses George a lot, his new guitar player makes a big effort to sound and play like George.
these guys could have been one of the biggest bands but I think the timing was just bad, they were competing with all that Nirvana and grunge shit back then. I agree the new album kicks ass and Lynch is still in the top 5 greatest guitarest of all time but just my opinion.
FUCK Nirvana. As a musician (though not nearly the caliber of such greats as Lynch Mob), I cannot fathom how shit like Nirvana was ever popular. A week's worth of experience playing an instrument is sufficient to play any Nirvana song. Lynch Mob, on the other hand . . . did you hear that solo?!!?! WOW!
So sweaty and sexy. Every time I hear this, I imagine some office in a hot Tennessee/Texas town. The fans on, beads of sweat on people's faces. And a hot blonde, just itching to get it on.
Amen Brother!.....I'm tired of these vids this one is over rated or this one is under rated vids and not seeing Geo on any of them!.....George has a wicked style hard to mimic and the phrasing smokes!I'm sure he could tap all day like Eddie or arppegiate all day like Yngwie,but he strives for difference!I second your "LYNCH RULEZ"!
Thing is, Lynch does tap heavy in some songs, and I've heard and seen him arpeggiate in vids, but he maintains his own style that doesn't sound like anyone else. That is what I've always strived for in my own style. It's not hard to sound like someone else. Just copy what they do. Youtube is full of "me too" arpeggiators. Lynch isn't one of them.
True!..I know Geo taps often too,but I felt at some point Ed got tap and whammy bar happy and trust I'm not kicking Ed,he's my second favorite!Malmsteen is like 5 or 6 and he's so fast and a clean picker,but sometimes I listen to his music anymore and about 5 songs later,I'm like ok enough arppegio playing or listening to do me for a fews days!....I have to have a daily fix of Lynch though!
I dunno. I always loved ed's style. I can listen to or watch a few Malmsteen videos. He's definitely more interesting than any of the "me too" type arpeggiators. Lynch has a style all his own. He was one of my early influences right next to Tony Iommi, and Randy Rhoads. Those kind of guys I can listen to for hours because it isn't a bunch of endless arpeggiating. There was something more going on. Actual songs with lyrics, a chorus and a PLACE for a solo. Not the entire song as a solo. You know?
He doesn't seem to hit it live, as he did in the studio. I would still love to see them with Oni. I saw them 2 years ago with a short hair blonde dude, and he hit every note, old and new. Great show! George shredded, as usual.
Oni Logan is a prick from Ft. Liquerdale, FL... Saw him back in 2002 with the M0b and he acted like a total bitch ass punk... George gave him looks all night for his shit... I was waiting for the bitch slap...
This is so cool, I love this tune. Wow the backups sound strong as the disc. Gotta tell ya, I've seen George do better with this. The guy can be magical. "That's all I want ya know thats all I need". Can't listen to this w/o belting the chorus. Thanx!!!
yeah i gotta hard time believing backup vocals a lip synched. i saw lynch mob live and it sounded this good. you're gonna have to produce some proof on this one Mary.
I sat in on their soundcheck years ago. They didnt even fake it during sound check. Don't get me wrong, I love Lynch Mob!! Always have. But sometimes, I guess you need a little help with the background vocals. It's all good though, they still kicked ass!! Lip-sync ro not.
He was playing ESPs in the eighties with Dokken. All his signature guitars from the eighties were esp. He played Aria before that. This clip is post Dokken
I know, it's weird. I've seen him play a Gibson Les Paul and a couple of Kramers. It reminds me of seeing Bret Favre in a Jets uniform. I'm not a Bret fan but you know what I mean.
Yeah that's a big 10-4,his favorite axe when he was young was a Les Paul,which was stolen ,I believe it was after that he began experimenting with other guitars.Regard Brett Favre,did you know he played for the Falcons his rookie year?
@Branch83Hawks Agreed. "Wicked Sensation" easily ranks up there with "Tooth and Nail" from Dokken. I found it refreshing that George took this project in a different direction, when Don just tried to rehash the Dokken sound on his solo album.
This aired on "ABC's In Concert" TV series in 1991. Oni and George are back together now, with Marco Mendoza on bass and Scott Coogan on drums. Should be a great album!
