A. Lee Graham from Classic Rock Revisited spoke with guitarist George Lynch (LYNCH MOB, SOULS OF WE, ex-DOKKEN) recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Classic Rock Revisited: Had you guys kept in contact over the years?

Lynch: "Yeah, of course. I mean, sporadically but with large gaps. We did a tour back in the late ‘90s, I believe, early 2000s and I think we did a couple of tours. I can’t remember.

Classic Rock Revisited: Also, I'd heard about Lynch Mob actually doing a tour with the original Dokken lineup. Is that true?
