George Lynch speaks in-depth and candidly on the latest episode of Noize In The Attic - Where Your past Comes Back To Haunt You.
George speaks openly on the new Sweet / Lynch album, on the failed Dokken reunion "it was way too painful and way too ugly" and how he was cheated out of $30,000 on the Dysfunctional album and tour.
On his early Ozzy auditions: "I went out to Scotland, England, Ireland; I toured with them and played at some sound checks; I brought in Don Costa and we rehearsed for a while. (They told me) ‘you're the guy’ (and) I spent two months in that camp. They didn't give me a nickel... I ended up losing my job and my apartment. It really blew me away the indifference of those people. They are callus and non-empathetic, non-compassionate... they didn't really give a shit but maybe that's what you need to be successful in this world, being heartless and calculating and cold.”
