GEORGE LYNCH To ZAKK WYLDE - "Why Don't We Get Together?"

Lynch Mob guitarist George Lynch was recently interviewed by Andrew Catania of All That Shreds. During their chat, Lynch was asked if he'd ever thought about producing Lynch Mob albums himself, he replied:

"I’m not much of a producer. I used to produce stuff years ago. Zakk Wylde doesn’t live far from me, he lives up the street. We were talking at one point a few years ago, and I tried to be really honest with him, and it was a bit different to be objective; I said without hurting feelings or anything, and I mean Zakk’s in a way better place than I am in the marketplace. He’s a very widely recognized and a fantastic musician.

What I thought was his records don’t do him justice, you know. I mean, I feel that he could present himself in a lot better way with the right team or producer or writers. But you know what, I’m just expressing my opinion. I suggested to him, why don’t we get together, and you don’t even have to put my name on it. You don’t even have to pay me. But we live right down the street from each other, and maybe we’ll work on songs together in crafting some songs that are a little more memorable, with bigger hooks sonically, a little bit more sophisticated. He’s such an amazing musician because of so many different things I know how well directed it is. And that’s just my humble opinion.

Of course, that never happened. So my point is, I’d say to your question of whether I would ever consider producing, it could be possible in a particular situation that was tailor made to what I can do."

Lynch Mob’s new album, The Brotherhood, will be released on September 8th via Rat Pak Records. Check out a video for “Mr. Jekyll And Hyde” below, and pre-order the album at this location.

Produced by Chris "The Wizard" Collier (Flotsam And Jetsam, Prong, KXM), The Brotherhood features 11 brand new hard rock tracks. This album will surely resonate with long time fans of the band, as well as those longing for that good ol' hard rock sound and feel."The Brotherhood highlights the unique pairing of Oni Logan and George Lynch, and along with Sean McNabb (bass) and Jimmy D’Anda (drums), the band has created a solid offering from start to finish. From the heavy guitar riffs of the opening track “Main Offender” to the melodic album finale ”Miles Away”, Lynch Mob have once again proven they remain on top of their game and at the top of their genre!

On the subject of Lynch Mob’s new record, Oni Logan comments, “After doing quite a few miles together with this latest lineup of Sean McNabb and Jimmy D’Anda, we consider ourselves a pack of wolves, and we came up with the name The Brotherhood for the title of the next Lynch Mob album. It’s got more of an adventurous sound in part and maybe a darker, colder sound to it. We are always willing to go farther. We come from the early 90’s and it's when we released the first Lynch Mob album which set a sound and course for us. Here we are 27 years later, George and I are still able to keep on stretching. As a player, as a writer, that is very important to us. Otherwise we would be fooling ourselves and fooling you”.

George Lynch adds, "We wrote this album as a band and the name of the record reflects what the band is about, and what all my bands have been about since I've been a kid. This is my second family. These are my brothers. You go through a lot together and have a lot of experiences together. And that then becomes a part of the music."
