Lynch Mob were originally formed by lead guitarist George Lynch and drummer Mick Brown in 1989 after creative differences led to the break up of their previous band, Dokken. Having missed out on the opportunity to play lead guitar with a newly solo Ozzy Osbourne, Lynch truly made his mark on the rock metal scene of the 1980's with Dokken. After some initial success in Germany, they relocated to Los Angeles in time to take full advantage of the then new MTV music channel and the burgeoning hair metal scene the Sunset Strip, populated by contemporaries such as Ratt and Motley Crue. Dokken’s split came following their fourth studio album, ‘Back For The Attack’.
The creation of Lynch Mob came shortly after, and the band released two albums before splitting up themselves, though they have reunited for sporadic appearances down the years.
