    I love George Lynch, a lot. He's one of my favorites. But come on, people, let's get real here. George did NOT want to be in Dokken at the time of this tour and Reb was hired to do a job. Although they are distinctly different players, but share a sense of style that is unique to them. He was not a Lynch clone, but this was some downright ferocious guitar playing. You can't deny Reb's talent. Respect.

      Agree. The aggravating thing with George is not wanting to duplicate their recordings live. Btw, in no way am I suggesting Reb could be George. He's simply a great player that will at least commit to trying to hold true the recognized solos...

      Biggest Lynch fan but totally respect Reb. Whats weird about Lynch is he nails certain solos and others he's way off. I'm not necessarily saying he was performing a horrible solo live, more like ad libbing.

      @harryradley 4 года назад +4

      Thanks for acknowledging that it was George who didn't want to be in Dokken. If you know the whole story it's impossible not to take Don's side in the feud. George is (was?) a phenomenal guitarist but he is a toxic human being. The fact that Jeff and Mick sometimes back up George's side doesn't mean a thing. Breaking the Chains was a solo album and none of the other members liked the fact that Don could make music 90% as good without them. He proved this irrefutably on Up from the Ashes and in many live performances.

    From a technical standpoint Reb crushed Lynches solo's, period.
    His tap style is so impressive, his triplets n quads crush most other players because of his right hand technique.
    Of course he's not going to play Lynch's solo's with the same feel as the creator of those solo's, but the sad fact is he destroy's them technically.
    And I love that interview and what he says about Kirk Hammett, so true.
    This guy is so completely underrated it's tragic.

      His studio performances are not messy. They are anything but messy. Live performances, you get guys who may be high or something else. The venues are often enormous open spaces with poor acoustics.
      And George seemed to play with way more effects in live situations. Too much. That muddles the sound and kills a lot of clarity.

    Poster is spot on. I love George Lynch. One of the greats.
    But give credit where credit is due.
    Reb Beach absolutely shreds!
    If you don’t like Winger because you thought it was uncool, well I guess you never really listened to it. Red Beach is a mega talent.
    Back about 1989, I had the pleasure of seeing a triple bill with Tangier, Extreme, and Winger. Nuno and Reb sharing the same stage...mind blowing.
    Another incredible guitarist that got passed over because of the band he was in...Vito Bratta. If you’re not familiar with his solos from White Lion...damn, you’re in for a treat. Nobody, and I mean nobody, plays like this guy.

    Yes, Reb is a great performer. I saw him with Whitesnake in 2015. I've seen George live as well. To me just different a approach to them live. As you know studio recording is a lot different than live, it's almost impossible to match it note for note. I've been playing guitar for 60 years and I never play a solo the same, especially if it's difficult to reproduce live. I love both of them, but for me, being a huge Lynch fan, I've got to go with him.

    Reb is a great player. Perfect execution, perfect note choice, the entire package. With that being said it’s exactly why I love Lynch so much. Lynch plays with flavor and phrasing that brings 1000 times more soul. The wild abandon that is rock and roll. Lynch will always be the greatest.

    George is a VERY unique player to emulate. Rob on the other hand is such a monster himself he gets the point across with confidence. he keeps crucial parts of the soloing as they should be to make sense and then he explodes in is own right to metal the faces...A superb player!!!!!

    His talents are wasted in Whitesnake. They don't even turn him up as loud as Doug Aldrich.

      I'd have to agree - he can't really shine like he's capable of in Whitesnake. I heard Coverdale say in an interview something to the effect that Aldrich is his "main" lead player, and almost sound like he kind of lets Reb come along for the ride. Kinda sad, really - band politics I suppose. But in some Reb interviews where he's talked about being in Whitesnake, he makes it sound like he's ok with his position in the band and just glad to have a gig to play. Still kinda sad...

      smilinachya You know what else is funny: Coverdale is extremely gung-ho about writing with Adrich. Not to put down Aldrich, but has he ever written a hit? Reb Beach has written many of them together with Kip Winger. You'd think Coverdale would exploit that, but I guess not. Although now that Aldrich is gone, who knows what lies ahead for WS.

      I am not aware of anything Aldrich has written, personally either. It would seem by what I've heard RB and Coverdale say in interviews, that Aldrich's position in the band is to play the Sykes solos, and RB even said that's not really his thing, that he's more of a "tapper." That's all fine & good, but hope RB can find work that will truly showcase his amazing talents.
      Didn't know Aldrich is out if WS! When did THAT happen??

      smilinachya I think the news leaked yesterday or the day before, and Aldrich confirmed it on fb.
