Not excellent but close to being there..........2005-05-23

This is only the second time I've I've written a review on something that could be categorized as "modern" sounding, kind of like Nickelback or Metallica. You know what I mean. The 2004 Scorpions CD "Unbreakable" went for this heavy overdriven sound with the less distinctive leads and fewer fill-ins.
I have to say, I am impressed with the sound. If you listen to this cd on lower volume around the house or apartment, it is not that impressive, but when it is cranked in the car stereo you will get looks. I have to say that I don't mind the remakes of the Dokken tunes, either. I never liked "Tooth and Nail" (even when it came out with Dokken) and I don't like it now. The standouts here are: "Tangled in the Web", "Relax", "When Darkeness Calls", "River of Love", and "Kiss of Death" (the last one is obviously different sounding then the original but just as good in its own way). Ironically, the revamped Dokken tunes, overall, are not the best parts of the CD. And I would not concur with others who feel the remakes of these earlier Lynch Mob tunes are inferior to the originals. I don't think so. They rock hard and they will bash you in the face! Yet, they still have some distinctive melody, like I said, in the same league, if not better than Nickelback. There are still some good Lynch solos at times, as well. The lead singer (whoever he is) sings with a ton of emotion. This is about is good as new heavy metal gets. Way to go guys! Make another album with a few more hit singles like Nickelback style and you will have my fan support. Also, I don't think George looks bad at all. Not like an old fogie. His hair looks cool and his arms look pretty buff (might need to work on the little ponch he's getting in the midsection, though). Otherwise, looking good, buddy (and shreding!). Keep up the good work.

I like the new versions.......2005-05-13

I guess I'm in the minority of people who actually like the new versions of "Breaking the Chains" and "Kiss of Death" (along with the others). Are they better than the originals? Maybe not, although they certainly sound better in terms of recording quality. But who cares? If you want to hear the original versions of these songs, they're already available. In fact, you probably already have them. Go listen!

This CD is just an excuse to put out some material, but it's better than just re-recording the exact same versions as the originals (see LA Guns "Cocked and Re-Loaded." Actually, don't.) I like the heavier guitars, the vocals done a little differently, etc. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Outstanding DVD Value.......2005-05-06

I have been purchasing DVDs of some of the older guitar legends (Gary Moore Michael Schenker, Satriani, etc.) and Lynch just continues to amaze me. It is refreshing that he can do inventive and creative things with the older material. I like others who complained about changing the tunes around, listened more and actually like the new versions better of some of the older Dokken stuff. PLus this is the first DVD colection that I received a CD as well as DVD.

Everyone has thier own tastes..........2005-04-19

At first I was like a few of these people on here, wondering WTF when I first listened to this in a music store on one of those music scan machines. It really iritated me that the song Kiss of Death (with my all-time favorite guitar riff) didn't sound like the original. At first I thought the album was good, but not great. I bought it, put it in my car stereo, and listened to it a couple of times. The more I listen, the better I like it. A couple of the songs, namely, Kiss of Death and Breaking The Chains, don't measure up to the originals, in my opinion. Overall, This album cranks, rocks, and downright shreds! It's George doing what he does best, just on a baritone guitar this time. I think a lot of people resent the fact that he's playing it to established songs as opposed to new songs. Once you get used to hearing a song one way it's strange to hear it done another. I'm a big Lynch fan and I'm glad to see him showing that he can shred even on a baritone. But my tastes may differ from yours, because I like some of the NU-Metal music like Godsmack, I just can't stand that rock-rap crap. I also noticed that the new Judas Priest CD, Angel of Retribution is getting good reviews. I have that one to (from an impulse buy) and think that it's being overated. I only liked about half the songs on it. So that's my opinion, for what it's worth, but I say listen to it a couple of times before you judge it, because George is shredding on this one.

Lost fire, growing older.......2005-02-20

Don't waste your money, this is crap !!! Talk about a huge let down.
there are only 2 decent versions here: "Relax' and "Paris is burning"
I've been a Gearge Lynch fan since the 80's and this is a sad progression. "Smoke this' was also a huge mistake. George has lost the fire with his playing and his solo's have lost their passion, tech expertise and originality.
Wickedly dissapointed, I was so fired up when I saw this CD in the store, I wish i could get my money back.
