CREEM SHOWCASE
Every year at approximately this time, contenders for the title of International Fretmeister emerge, fingers flying and harmonics ringing, taking on last year’s gunslinger in a battle of the polls. One of this year’s picks, so far, is George Lynch— who, rather than storming out of nowhere like some of the Asgardian brats we have known—has been plying his chops in the journeyman’s hard rock band Dokken.

LYNCH, HIM

Every year at approximately this time, contenders for the title of International Fretmeister emerge, fingers flying and harmonics ringing, taking on last year’s gunslinger in a battle of the polls. One of this year’s picks, so far, is George Lynch— who, rather than storming out of nowhere like some of the Asgardian brats we have known—has been plying his chops in the journeyman’s hard rock band Dokken. Lynch was rockin’ among the same crowd at the same time that Randy Rhoads, Quiet Riot, et. al. were working at the legendary Hollywood nightclub, the Starwood, which is now a parking lot.
