Wednesday, September 28: Rock Birthdays

Happy Birthday today (Sept. 28) to Dokken guitarist George Lynch. He's 62. Also celebrating is ex Marilyn Manson/current Rob Zombie drummer Ginger Fish (51).

George Lynch is considered on of the most popular and influential 80’s metal guitarists and is known for his unique playing style and sound. He gained popularity in the 1980’s as lead guitarist with Dokken and the band had a string of successful platinum selling albums like Under Lock and Key and Back for The Attack (which featured Lynch’s instrumental, signature song "Mr. Scary.") He went on to have success with the band Lynch Mob.

In 2016, Loudwire.com reported it was announced that the original Dokken lineup would be reuniting for a run of shows in Japan. One U.S. warm up date will take place in Sioux Falls, S.D. on Sept. 30. For more on George Lynch and his various projects including Lynch Mob, check out his official website here.
