Commented
Tichy: "It will be fun to get loud and powerful with
George [
Lynch],
Oni [
Logan] and
Denim as I've always been a fan and I'd be a liar if I was to say I didn't attempt to learn all his rhythms and leads on
'Tooth and Nail' [
DOKKEN] in high school when I was 16! C'mon, he was tearing it up! I was obsessed with guitar back then, as I am now, and he was one of the cats... Well, he still is as so many people nowadays were influenced by him.
"
George is so cool that he came over my house with a little rig and he, myself and
Denim had two days of jammin the tunes in my bedroom turned drum room. There was barely any space but we had a great time. Total high school vibe! I should have gotten a picture."
