Today's Elevenses Throws Eleven Quick Questions At Dokken's Jon Levin!
Following such guitar greats as George Lynch, Reb Beach and John Norum, Jon Levin is the latest guitar maestro to join Dokken. Amazingly, Jon was Dokken’s attorney before they offered him the chance to play guitar, which he hadn’t done seriously since his days with Warlock.
A sigh of relief is heard over the
streets of LA. The desolate chaos gives way to a peace which hasn’t been felt
for some years. There is the slight sting of regret, but it subsides to the
sight of freedom, a sign of hope, and the breaking of chains which bound hands
for the best part of a decade.
George Lynch’s lead playing is legendary. He is one of the rare breed of players who has the magic touch. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about his playing and whether there was some collusion with an other worldly force for him to be able to play the way he can…hmmm, I wonder if he went down to the Crossroads like Ralph Macchio in the film of the same name. Was there a duel with a gentleman named Jack Butler, who just happened to be a spitting image of a certain Mr. Vai??? An interesting thought…
Guitar virtuoso George Lynch has been gracing the guitar scene for over 30 years. Since his early days on the LA club circuit with his band Exciter to the latest incarnation of his band, simply named "Lynch", he has consistently been out there playing, performing and releasing records. Currently with a new line of signature series Randall USA amps, a signature Eminence Speaker, signature strings and a very long standing relationship with ESP guitars, Lynch is seldom far from the pages of guitar magazines.
