George Lynch-Sacred Groove

Pity the man who thought George Lynch was merely an Igor to Don Dokken's Frankenstein. Though he's fared well in the aforementioned group and his own project, Lynch Mob, it's on Sacred Groove that Lynch branches out into territory normally shunned in the metal world. Going into the melodic territory of Joe Satriani while maintaining his own unique guitar tone and acrobatics, Lynch wears his title of guitar guru proudly on his sleeve, especially during a time when grunge was at the forefront of popular American rock's collective consciousness.
