Final month, George spoke to the Iron Metropolis Rocks podcast about LYNCH MOB‘s “The Closing Trip” farewell tour celebrating the band’s 35-year legacy. Requested how he felt about finishing one ultimate trek with LYNCH MOB, George mentioned: “Nicely, it is a combined bag. I assumed that it will make sense to exit with a band that, or a model of the band, which that is, that has remained intact for some time. LYNCH MOB has a historical past of getting a revolving door, in order that’s been irritating for me as a result of after I first put the band collectively in ’89, I hoped for the precise reverse… And, in fact, that didn’t occur. However now we have a good time, and after we spend time collectively and tour, it is simply actually a dream, enjoyable band. We joke round lots. We work onerous and the band — we deliver it after we get on stage and we get within the studio. I assumed, ‘Nicely, that is the best way to exit.’ And in addition, on the opposite facet of the coin, I am not getting any youthful. I did not need to be that man up there on crutches, having to sit down down. I wished individuals to recollect it with some sense of vitality. Yeah, so I feel we’re type of ending on a constructive notice, I’d say. And we gave ourselves fairly an extended window. We determined this final 12 months, and it gave us an eight-month, nine-month window. So it is a lengthy, gradual type of fade into the sundown. We’ll be achieved March twenty third, I imagine, or twenty fifth, one thing like that. So we have a whole lot of work forward of us. And we have, really, two information [in the works] — we have a stay album and a stay DVD and a studio file.”

Requested if he’s planning on getting concerned in additional recording tasks sooner or later as soon as the LYNCH MOB tour is finished, George mentioned: “Nicely, I really like being within the studio, and I’ve a reasonably good studio scenario, each in California, the place I’ve my very own studio, and in New Mexico, the place I’ve discovered a house on the market and a extremely great venue, the place I am working now, really. So, so long as I’ve one thing to say, I will attempt to say it musically. However I’ll say that I’ve kind of spent my — I’ve achieved a whole lot of recording, I’ve written a whole lot of songs within the final group of years, since COVID and so forth, so I discover myself type of treading over outdated floor and saying the identical factor, and I do not like that. And I feel from time to time I’ve gotta decelerate in my output somewhat bit. So, as I discussed, we’re engaged on a LYNCH MOB ‘Closing Trip’ studio file. It has been written and recorded, besides [for] the vocals now. And past that, I’ve bought different information within the pipeline that I’m obligated — properly, I can do, as an instance; I do not know the way obligated I’m. If I do not wanna do ’em, I haven’t got to do ’em. One is a fourth THE END MACHINE file for Frontiers. And the opposite one is a 3rd ‘Heavy Hitters’ album, which is a collection of information that [ex-DOKKEN bassist] Jeff Pilson and I’ve been doing for Cleopatra Data, that are covers, and that is at all times actually enjoyable to do. I take pleasure in working with Jeff. I will be working with Jeff Pilson on each these information. In order that is perhaps one thing that I determine to complete up. However, having mentioned that, these are obligations in keeping with my previous work, doing THE END MACHINE information and ‘Heavy Hitters’ information and LYNCH MOB information and varied different tasks, with KXM and so forth, that I’ve been doing. However what I am pondering is I would love to — to not be tremendous self-indulgent, however do one thing completely different. And that requires type of banking a bunch of experiences and publicity, completely different sorts of music and types and saying one thing distinctive. Or doing a grasp guitar file, what I think about could be my magnum opus guitar file. That is simpler mentioned than achieved, however possibly I would like [to do something like that]. I do not know. I am unsure what I wanna do but. However I am gonna let this touring schedule journey out until the top of March after which I am gonna kind of acquire my ideas [about what my next step will be].”
