One of you asked for the Japanese version of SWEET & LYNCH new album “Unified“, including an exclusive bonus track. SWEET & LYNCH — the super-band featuring guitarist / vocalist Michael Sweet of STRYPER, legendary guitarist George Lynch (ex DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), bassist James LoMenzo (WHITE LION, MEGADETH) and drummer Brian Tichy (WHITESNAKE, DEAD DAISIES) — surpassed themselves with this...
One of you asked for a revamp on SWEET & LYNCH‘s really good debut record “Only To Rise“, this time in its Japanese Edition including a bonus track.
’80s Hard Rock is far from dead. A new collaboration from George Lynch and Michael Sweet is coming to show the rumors of its demise are premature.
“Only To Rise” is the debut album title, and SWEET & LYNCH is the name of the newest super-group to come together to make some old fashion, ass kickin’ classic US Hard Rock.
It’d be tacky to grab an easy pun and say here’s a match made in you-know-where, yet an alliance between Stryper’s Michael Sweet and guitar hero George Lynch is most definitely a match. This pairing only seems awkward upon first glance, but there’s a perfect logic to these guys hooking up.
Michael Sweet himself has stated on record he’d considered Lynch a ‘bucket list’ musician to work with and, straight outta the Eighties, SWEET & LYNCH was born.
SWEET & LYNCH — the super-band featuring guitarist / vocalist Michael Sweet of STRYPER, legendary guitarist George Lynch (ex DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), bassist James LoMenzo (White Lion, Megadeth) and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Dead Daisies) — will release its sophomore album, “Unified“, on November 10 via Frontiers Music.
A few years back we got Only To Rise, the first album from a collaboration between Sweet and Lynch. While more melodic rock and commercial than both artists’ other recent endeavors, the release still impressed, and proved that they twosome had surprisingly strong musical chemistry.
Both men keep busy in multiple acts, but have come back to give us another Sweet & Lynch record.
The duo’s debut album was an unexpected surprise, and definitely has had fans excited for the second release and their equally-notable rhythm section of LoMenzo and Tichy.
So, how does “Unified” stack up? Is the second Sweet & Lynch album another success?
“Beast From The East“, the first and best DOKKEN live album has just been remastered by Rock Candy Records, for the first time released outside Japan in all its double disc glory. You know, the original pressing issued in the U.S. was a single disc version which excluded three tracks.
Now you can get “Beast From The East” as intended. And with much better sound.
For anyone with a taste in ’80s hard rock / metal, Dokken pretty much personifies the best musically oriented side of the glam scene, mostly because their image was the only thing glam about them. Along with other acts such as Twisted Sister and Motley Crue, they put the emphasis where it belongs, on the riffs and the attitude.
This concert represents a true cock rock band at their absolute best, injecting some loud and raucous sounds into the air and filling up their songs with plenty of vocal and guitar ad licks, not to mention a crowd that is singing along with every chorus, word for word…
