I'll type it up for you if you're interested and/or haven't seen it. It wasn't too lengthy (it was just one of the last page gear diagram things) but it was really interesting and informative.

If you REAlly listened to it 8 times, I should it buy it at least once although the thing I loved about 80s metal was ditchin the cheaper blues licks, not that I don't adore gallons of blues, but there was a rift between the 3 finger players older than me and 4 4(or 5,6) finger players younger. So Warren and Jake and Kirk gettin bluesier tones , instead of being more warren, more jake, while srv was still alive mind you, didn't fit in my square hole but that's my random bias. As you mention theGeorge Lynch influence, ya may as well mention they're buds. Elsewhere on this fantastic website Lynch shares how he was neighbors with warren in a rehearsal complex. Also , when Ozzy was auditioning George, Lynch went to Warren for some help learning the songs ( which would have been the second gig he backdrafted from randy. See GLynch and the unpleasantness at Musonia). Dang, I wish Dokken and Ratt would tour together, out here on the east coast. With Special guest jake e lee. Along with Cavazo, who i also really dig, that'd be alot of idols of mine under one roof. Can I just dream this loud enuf , over and over , clicking my heels til it happens? Oh yeah , intermission is gtr seminar and autographs , and hair tips,... Ooh I'm just losing it now. Charvel, won't you sponsor this . . . Oh right. Man, I just woke up from this great dream...
