4.0 out of 5 stars very nice piece of guitar work, April 20, 2004

Although I'am a 80's metal thrash head (metallica like lover) I do love virtuouso guitar work, and I must say...even though george lynch who is coming from a 80's hair metal band dokken, this man can truly rip a new a-hole to his listeners with his attack on the axe. I also have sacred grooove which I like a little more but with 3 instrumental tracks and a awesome version of Ozzy and the late Randy Rhoads' 'Mr.Crowley' he definitely does justice to the song. Also in reading his booklet he has comments on each song which is cool. My favorite track on this cd would have to be number 12, 11 is also a close second. Hope this helps.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's rather pleasant and fun but not outstanding, October 3, 2003

This album is a collection of covers, guest appearances and left over material. I have the opinion that most of the time (but not always) the original version of a song is the better one, and that the value of a cover can be highly questionable. My curiosity made me buy this album and I quite like it. Some of the covers are rather unexpected like Scorpions "He's a woman, she's a man", Alice Cooper's "Billion dollar babies" and Ozzy Osbourne's "Flying high", but to hear another version of "Rolling and tumbling" is just boring to say the least. If you're a big fan of George Lynch I believe you consider this a must have, but others (more casual fans) might not think this album is essential. Anyway, it's rather fun and enjoyable to hear these songs, but aren't the original versions better?

One more thing: I wish there were more information regarding the songs, personal (i. e. singers) and where the songs appear in the first place.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lynch spends a weekend with a Line 6 POD, January 8, 2007

This is more Lynch noodling around than anything... production isn't up to snuff. If you're a Lynch freak, you must have it, but if you aren't pass it by: it simply isn't worth it. The guitar, most of which is LITERALLY recorded through a simple Line 6 POD, sounds like garbage... everybody knows Lynch is a gear junky, and take that gear away: he sounds like a really talented guy playing through a POD. Sorry: not good enough.
