Mr. Scary
Mr. Scary is George Lynch's instrumental calling card — a showcase of screaming legato, whammy dives, and one of the most vocal lead tones in 1980s metal. Lynch drove his ESP into a pair of 1968 Marshall plexis and a 100-watt Super Tremolo, all hot-rodded by Lee Jackson of Metaltronix with 6550 power tubes for extra gain and headroom, pushed harder by an Ibanez Tube Screamer or a Boss GE-7 out front.
