This is definitely one of the Top 5 Tone Talk episodes so far! This one was thoroughly enjoyable, funny, educational and a time capsule revelation! Thank You to Jeff, George, Dave and Mark! Exceptional and very fun show! Cheers to you all!
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle I agree 1,000 percent. I remember George saying in an interview that Jeff is his writing soulmate. There is a certain magic there that is rare
Sitting here recovering from the China virus and watching these videos. I’m not sure if the lack of breathing is from the laughter or virus! Lol! This one and the Jake E Lee show was freaking awesome!!! Thank you so much for helping me make it through. Keep e’m coming!!!
@Tone-Talk Jeff Pilson has got to be one of THEE most amazing multi-talented and multi-faceted musicians that I've ever had the pleasure to work with! Something a lot of people don't know is that Jeff created unequaled Dio history! When he was in Dio on the 2 albums with Tracy-G...as many Dio fans know that on most Dio albums there's mention that "All lyrics and melodies by Ronnie James Dio".....Jeff wrote a song called "Stay Out of My Mind"....and Ronnie loved it so much that Ronnie put it on his album....and it was basically a "Cover Song" of Jeff's song!! That's HUGE! Just thought I'd add that bit of info here! I learned so much from Ronnie....and I gotta say....that the times where Jeff and I were in a band together and writing for that band and all the way up to the DD original stuff.....I learned so much from him ( Jeff ) especially in the song writing department that it completely changed much of how I write songs to this very day! Glad to have seen this!! And during the "Hear n Aid" project for the song "We're Stars" George Lynch scared me into having to go back to the "drawing board" for my playing. I was in the room at one point when George was warming up....I heard him play something that sounded like he was using a wah-wah pedal....so I looked down fully expecting to see that pedal....and there was none! It was his way....his magic and pure one of the world's best that he could basically do the impossible!! It scared me....and I'll never forget it!! So I had to go back to the drawing board and made myself learn how to consciously create "vowel sounds" on command! Before they happened by accident and we just kept them in the recordings from Rough Cutt demos, Giuffria, the band with Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge demos just before joining Dio ...and the Dream Evil album. Thanks Jeff and George for making me a better writer ( Jeff ) and a better player ( George )!!! Just thought people should know!!
What a great time. These guys are so much fun. They were even like this with each other on the Unchain the Night VHS. Yeah, I had that when it was out fresh.
Nice interview, I really enjoyed the fun play on words. George and Jeff seemed really happy and that was very cool.... I once passed George on the floor at a NAMM show inte 90s and his NAMM badge name read "Dirk Diggler" lol
This episode was GOLD!!! Laughed my ass off!!! This had it all, learned some tone and gear stuff and most importantly, we may be growing older, but that doesn't mean we have to grow up!!!
Awesome show guys, definite Top 5 show for Tone Talk. There were a number of times I found myself having to go back and re-listen to parts to make sure I heard what I thought I heard ... You could tell even Dave who has seen and heard a lot over the years was caught off guard a few times. It would be great to have Jeff & George back on again in 6 months,. Great job Marc & Dave. Cheers : )
Saw a foreigner show on RUclips with the newer singer. The Bass was amazing and the Bass player had an amazing stage presence to go along with those great chops. The amazing Jeff Pilson. I knew of him but wow, what a great bass player
How these two don't have their own show is beyond me. Hilarious duo. They made it feel like Dave and Marc were the guests. Best episode by a country mile.
Michael Wagener (producer Under Lock & Key 1985 ): "The setup for George's guitar tone on "Under Lock And Key" was as follows: We had two Marshall heads and two Laney heads, not sure which models, but one of them was a Plexi. We had cabs in three different rooms: two cabs were placed in the big room at Amigo, one connected to a Marshall, the other connected to the Laney. The Marshall was responsible for the high end part of the sound and the Laney was set to take care of the low end. There were 14 (fourteen) mics set up in that room in various psoitions around the cabinet and some further away to get some room tone. The second Laney was sent into a very dead room and had a Boss chorus pedal in front of it, set to very slight chorus. The second Marshall was sent into a small, tiled bathroom, to add a different room tone. Those 16 mics came in on the MCI 500 console mic pres. They were bussed to one bus and that bus had a UREI 530 EQ on it (best guitar EQ ever). George mentioned that he always gets a great tone with his Fostex 4track recorder when it's in total overdrive, so I asked him to bring it in. So after the 530 everything was sent to the Fostex 4track, which lived under a packing blanket under the console, so nobody would see it. The Fostex was on stunn, completely overdriven and was sent on to the 3M 32 track dig machine from there.
I use a stereo Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus boxes with those George CABS. I use the Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 to tap the signal direct to stereo fx. They work great for me. I mic the dry cab, but use the stereo Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus IR boxes to mixer. They are safe to use with your tube head as long as you don't go over 100 watts and check your connections everytime during set up.
Killer episode! Jeff is such a cool dude. Never really known of him but obviously have heard his music. Thanks guys! Oh, and yeah I think a purple Lynch Friedman would be a nice gesture and testament for a rock legend!
I actually saw the whole episode which I rarely do because how long they are. They're both very funny guys.I love George's sense of humor like "the carpets aren't matching the drapes" Very hilarious!
Jeff and George are F€@¥N Hillarious together , loved Watching this. George is my favorite Guitar player of all time. Thank You Dave and Marc for having them on...☮💚🇨🇦🙏
2 greatis Legends Dokken one of the greatis Band ever Jeff amazing on bass and hi is a Legend and George amazing on Guitar and hi is one of my Guitar Hero of all time
2 of my favorite musicians!!! Legends in my book. Great personalities!!! Hilarious tag team. Always mad respect to Jeff and George. George is the reason I play guitar!!! Great channel guys. Keep the content coming!!! Cheers!
Amazing show guys, Jeff & George are so much fun, I'd love to find bandmates like that someday. Such a shame Eddie isn't still around for shows like this, it's so natural and un-staged, I'm sure he would have eventually warmed up to the idea. I'd love to see you get Scott Henderson on, his tone is amazing and he's really funny too!
Definitely Get Jeff and George episode! Next time have them Jam online!! And have More questions asked by us next time. Hopefully you can get Jeff and George to go on again.
It's cool to see Jeff & George just joke & kid & work together & really just get along, that's good stuff & wish more band members were just good friends,thru it all✌️.
Can't believe I missed this episode. Damn youtube, for some reason I never got a reminder email... This has got to be up there with the Jake E. Lee episode. Happy new Year everyone!
I got a kick out of this!! Funny guys, this takes me back to that DOKKEN VHS video i bought in 86, Unchain The Night. I wore that out! They were just as funny on that also. Saw them on the Back for the Attack tour in Germany, opening for AC/DC. Glad to see them still ROCKIN!
Live in Scandinavia, the older Jeff gets, the more Swedish He looks, any truth to that? Dokken opened for Twisted, Radio City NYC. They blew me away, night to remember.
When I was 20 Jeff called me at my parents' place after Mike Varney had played a tape of me over the phone to him (Jeff was looking for a guitar player for his new band). We didn't end up playing together but he was lovely to chat with and I was blown away that he called! Top man.
Best tone talk ever, what a magic chemistry between Jeff and George. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Best show to date! It’s crazy how they still play off each other so effortlessly after all these years… it’s like that old Dokken VHS revisited lol 🤘🏻
Awesome VHS tape
No Kidding
Yep...when they were in the hotel room cutting up.
Minus the drugs and alcohol
This is definitely one of the Top 5 Tone Talk episodes so far! This one was thoroughly enjoyable, funny, educational and a time capsule revelation! Thank You to Jeff, George, Dave and Mark! Exceptional and very fun show! Cheers to you all!
These guys are just naturally hilarious, one of the funniest episodes ever.
George & Jeff are a Magical Music Duo. Personally, you can tell they are like each other's best friend .
all time A leaguers as a songwriting tandem, underappreciated by rock fans.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle I agree 1,000 percent. I remember George saying in an interview that Jeff is his writing soulmate. There is a certain magic there that is rare
This was a great interview. George & Jeff should create their own RUclips channel, the fans would love it when they can do live feeds together.
Sitting here recovering from the China virus and watching these videos. I’m not sure if the lack of breathing is from the laughter or virus! Lol! This one and the Jake E Lee show was freaking awesome!!! Thank you so much for helping me make it through. Keep e’m coming!!!

Fantastic episode guy! Seriously, really good. This is perhaps the most comfortable that I've ever seen George on camera.
I giggled more through this interview than I have in a long time.
What a great time. These guys are so much fun. They were even like this with each other on the Unchain the Night VHS. Yeah, I had that when it was out fresh.
It was great...
Me too! the guitar whammy neck! 🎸..
I think that I still have mine!
Brilliant, George and Jeff are a monster comedy duo
A league songwrting tandem as well.
Jeff, George, and Mick must have been a riot of laughs on tour. Great show and good laughs. Good tone and good laughs go well together.
Seriously, best episode ever. These two are hilarious 😂
Lifelong friends, right there. Wonderful to watch, even better to listen to them play.
Such an amazing episode, I haven’t laughed like this in a long time 🤣Love these guys!

This was the best episode I've seen and this is one of the best podcasts going. I love this stuff.
I'm so glad to have stumbled on this episode! My 2 favs are the guests on the show! Thank you Marc and Dave for a great episode!
JEFF IS FLYING HIGH! JESUS!! WHEN DO WE GROW UP AND BECOME A TAD RESPONSIBLE?
Such a great interview with George and Jeff, this is why I look forward to Tone-Talk episodes.!

Tremendous episode. Just Tremendous. GL is truly a living legend.
Awesome to see these guys together, they are hilarious. Throw Mick Brown in the room & I have no idea how they got anything done.
Cocaine.
Too funny guys, loved the show!!
What an awesome way to spend a couple of hours.
Thanks very much to you all.
Lynch and Pilson are awesome! Saw them live a few times with Dokken back in the 80's! Glad they're still making music!
Love that Randy Hansen got a mention here, he is just stunningly amazing!
Pure gold. What an episode to start off 2022.
i've watched a bunch of these tone talks this was the best one

Great show, had me laughing out loud a few times. 😄
Awesome love this video Lynch is the man!
This was GREAT! Thanks a lot!
One of the best episodes yet. Thanks so much guys !!
Jeff is such a cool dude. Just seen him on stage with Foreigner. What a showman! He's got so much energy. It's infectious.
With all due respect, listening to old rock, stars sit around with their band mates of 40 years is pretty awesome.
Guys - one of the best shows ever!! They were so gracious with their time! Thank you !
wow this was the best ever!!!
absolutley awesome, reminds me of the VHS vid "Unchain The Night" part where they are in the hotel room laying down tracks for the next album
just like that VHS haha crackup

I saw Foreiner last date if the tour in Estero Florida and, frankly, they blew me away. It was bad ass
Awesome show!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

1:02:55 YJM also had a brief endorsement deal with Aria Pro II, back in the Alcattrazz days
This was awesome!
Great one!
Really enjoyed this !!! Great interview… :)
I actually saw the whole episode which I rarely do because how long they are. They're both very funny guys.I love George's sense of humor like "the carpets aren't matching the drapes" Very hilarious!
Great laugh watching this, thank you🙏🏻
So glad I got see both Jeff and George together Live, twice. Thank you for this wonderfully entertaining interview.
Great Episode!! Just a funny idea, if george ever get a Friedman signature Plexi it could be called " George Lynch's Naked Sensation"
Jeff and George are F€@¥N Hillarious together , loved Watching this. George is my favorite Guitar player of all time. Thank You Dave and Marc for having them on...☮💚🇨🇦🙏
Jeff and George what an amazing relationship these two have let best bros
Comedy gold from two absolute legends! 😂🤘
Lynch's greatest guitar tone was "Wicked Sensation" with his Soldano SLO-100.
Pilson and Lynch ; they would make a great comedy team ! Saturday Night Live needs help. They could bring that show back to life.😄🤗🤣
2 greatis Legends Dokken one of the greatis Band ever Jeff amazing on bass and hi is a Legend and George amazing on Guitar and hi is one of my Guitar Hero of all time

2 of my favorite musicians!!! Legends in my book. Great personalities!!! Hilarious tag team. Always mad respect to Jeff and George. George is the reason I play guitar!!! Great channel guys. Keep the content coming!!! Cheers!
Great stuff guys
That was Awesome!
Amazing show guys, Jeff & George are so much fun, I'd love to find bandmates like that someday. Such a shame Eddie isn't still around for shows like this, it's so natural and un-staged, I'm sure he would have eventually warmed up to the idea. I'd love to see you get Scott Henderson on, his tone is amazing and he's really funny too!
Wow! bass player on tone talk! much thanks :)
What a great show, love Pilson and Lynch, just as entertaining as seeing them play.
Definitely Get Jeff and George episode! Next time have them Jam online!! And have More questions asked by us next time. Hopefully you can get Jeff and George to go on again.
It's cool to see Jeff & George just joke & kid & work together & really just get along, that's good stuff & wish more band members were just good friends,thru it all✌️.
Great episode, sounds like George remembers the Lee Jackson stuff very different to Lee.
Great episode gents! Really enjoyed it.
The Digitech Hardwire and Polara are Lexicon reverb in a pedal.
Very nice episode
In Estero Fl (last show of 2021l) I believe) they blew my mind
Can't believe I missed this episode. Damn youtube, for some reason I never got a reminder email... This has got to be up there with the Jake E. Lee episode. Happy new Year everyone!
Great Show....👍👍👍
Great show guys, many thanks 👍
Best episode ever :)
Right up there with the best of Tone-Talk!
Second time watching this Episode and man is this one funny !!
Great episode..Top 3 episode of all time. Maybe #1 ...So funny and entertaining 🤣
1:01:20 I kind of did that..... Met george and all i could do was ask quesions bout Randy Rhoads
I got a kick out of this!! Funny guys, this takes me back to that DOKKEN VHS video i bought in 86, Unchain The Night. I wore that out! They were just as funny on that also. Saw them on the Back for the Attack tour in Germany, opening for AC/DC. Glad to see them still ROCKIN!
Just keep playing with the End Machine… it’s coolest of all the band combinations you’ve played in
Live in Scandinavia, the older Jeff gets, the more Swedish He looks, any truth to that? Dokken opened for Twisted, Radio City NYC. They blew me away, night to remember.
Very cool!
When I was 20 Jeff called me at my parents' place after Mike Varney had played a tape of me over the phone to him (Jeff was looking for a guitar player for his new band). We didn't end up playing together but he was lovely to chat with and I was blown away that he called! Top man.
War and Peace?
such a killer chat
These two are a hoot!
Best show EVER! Bring back George & Jeff regularly! Ask about amp, boost, pickups, etc. for that "Back for the Attack!" album tone!
I have the hardwire with the lexicon chip awesome reverb pedal.
Great show
Saw Dokken at Rice Stadium in Houston lineup was:
Kingdom Come
Metallica
Dokken
Scorpions
Van Hagar
