Lynch Mob

Their debut album Wicked Sensation (1990) on Elektra Records was an immediate critical success, showcasing Lynch's extraordinary guitar work — his combination of raw blues feeling, legato technique, and aggressive tone made him one of the most distinctive players of the era — alongside Logan's powerful, soulful vocals. The album's blend of hard rock muscle and melodic accessibility found a receptive audience and demonstrated that Lynch's talents extended well beyond the confines of Dokken. Lynch Mob (1992) followed before the band dissolved as the hard rock landscape shifted beneath them in the wake of grunge's commercial breakthrough.

Lynch has reformed Lynch Mob multiple times over the subsequent decades with various lineups, releasing a consistent stream of albums including Smoke and Mirrors (2009), Babylon (2011), and Rebel (2015) that have maintained the band's reputation among hard rock fans who rate Lynch as one of the finest guitarists of his generation. His tone — achieved through custom ESP guitars and a signature Jackson model — remains immediately recognizable, and his influence on the generation of guitarists who grew up listening to Dokken and Lynch Mob is widely acknowledged throughout hard rock and metal.
