Guitarist George Lynch (LYNCH MOB, ex-DOKKEN) is featured in a new interview with All Access Magazine about his new band SOULS OF WE. An excerpt is available below.

AAM: At this point in your career, can you pack up your gear in a van and take the music to the people yourself?

George: "That’s possible and we’ve talked about that. Everybody in the band wants to see it on the road. Hopefully enough people will hear this record and get it. But we’re also looking for a way to present this band in a bigger light. We need to service this music on the right stage. It’s got to be powerful."

AAM: If Souls Of We chooses to headline in small clubs, do the longer setlist or the fans yelling out requests force you to play Dokken or Lynch Mob songs?

George: "No. That’s where I draw the line. I can’t play the older legacy material with Souls Of We. It’s a completely different and disconnected franchise from all of that. The music is deep enough that we can play a headlining set. It would be silly to be playing this material and throw in 'Breaking The Chains'. I couldn’t do it with a straight face. I’ll play some Dokken material when I tour with Lynch Mob later this year. And who knows? Maybe the long talked-about Dokken reunion will occur in the next couple of years."

AAM: George, because you as a musician will be forever linked to Dokken and Lynch Mob, was the music of Souls Of We preconceived to NOT sound like your previous bands?

George: "No. Nothing was preconceived. Probably unconsciously I was trying to go in another direction, but I couldn’t write a new Dokken record now if you paid me. That was just a product of where I was at a long time ago, the people I was playing with, and the way things were at that time. It’s been decades and it’s strange, yet natural, that people perceive me the way that they remember me from way back when. There’s been a whole lot going on since then for me. I’ve continued to write, play, and evolve. I listen to different stuff that has an influence on me. On the Souls Of We record, I’m just playing what comes natural to me at the moment."
