As previously reported, BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai recently caught up with Lynch to discuss Souls Of We. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
"When someone is critical of some body of work that I’ve created because it’s strayed from a formula that they’ve grown accustomed to, I believe it may be because they’re built to look at things in that way," Lynch offers. "I don’t want to alienate anyone, but it would be very unrewarding on all but a financial level to just stick to the same old formula. That’s what they have tribute bands for. As far as my 'shred-cred', just in case anybody was actually listening, I really wasn’t that good of a guitarist back in the day. It was all smoke and mirrors. I’ve become much more comfortable in my own skin as a player and a lot more confidant in my abilities. My problem is I’m both a very driven person and also incredibly lazy so if I don’t keep my chops up I can definitely suck. You have to try and constantly maintain and exceed your abilities, especially with the caliber of players out there today. I don’t know where they’re growing these kids or what planet they’re from but they’re ridiculous!"
