                So many "Loaned to George Lynch" stories seem to end with "Never to be seen again."

                    I guess this would be a good time to post the video pics I put in a thread in the "Charvel USA" section:

                      They were getting lots of airplay up here in the Bay Area, but they rarely came up around my neighborhood and when they did, they'd always be sold out. I never managed to see them early on because I was mostly a pay-at-the-door kid back then. When their first video came out, even though Motley Crue was like huge up here and more famous across the country, RATT kinda shot past them, at least with all the people I knew.

                      Thanks for sharing the story, awesome stuff!

                            Recommend this be "sticky'd" to the top of the forum.

                              Charvel should be publishing this material in print Ad's/You Tube video's. You can not buy this kind of branding....

                                Incredible! Amazing how all of these individual circumstances and events led up to the "perfect storm", if you will (I know, that's a negative - can't think of the positive term at the moment, but you get what I mean). The odds of C/J being produced in the same area as all of these bands, at the same time. Amazing stuff. Thank you for documenting so much of a musically historic event Kurt! You really should be a freelance writer for an industry mag. Some of the hacks they have writing now (i.e. Rolling Stone-d) are just not that interesting or provocative to lure a reader in like you have with your RC journals and this C/J history. Very, very cool. Also, Robbin's shirt in that last photo looks an awful lot like another Charvel graphic I love. Coincidence? Maybe the Rising Sun graphic was out already, nevermind.
