Lynch Mob (band)

Encyclopedia : L : LY : LYN : Lynch Mob (band)

Lynch Mob are a band featuring former Dokken guitarist George Lynch, who has been the band's only permanent member. The rest of the band has been a "revolving door" of members who have come and gone, and in some cases came back. The first Lynch Mob album titled Wicked Sensation, 1990, is prasied by many fans as a great rock album, that if recorded a few years earlier would have sold many albums, and maybe even hit number one. The album was sang by vocalist Oni Logan, but fired shortly after touring, due to unknown reasons. Tracks such as the title track, "River of Love", "She's so Evil", and "For a Million Years" would have done massivly well in the 80s scene. But with the sudden grunge explosion, the album only fared little.

The next album simply titled Lynch Mob fared even worse when it was released in 1992. It still contained many great rock anthems such as "Tangled in the Web" and a cover of Queen's "Tie your Mother Down". This album included the vocals of new vocalist Robert Mason.

Lynch Mob disbanded after the tour for the album, so that Lynch could record a solo album and later on so that Lynch and Brown could reunite with Dokken. Many more albums were recorded under the Lynch Mob name after Lynch left Dokken again in 1998, but with many different members. Not until 2003, did Mason, bassit Anthony Esposito, and Lynch reformed to record Lynch Mob and Dokken material. Brown stayed with Dokken, so the new drummer that came forth was Michael Frowein. The new recordings on the album titled Revolution were heavier and faster than the original and really appealed to the new audience. Lynch still records under the Lycnh Mob and tours usually once a year.
