Michael Sweet to Record with George Lynch

A little while back we heard that Michael Sweet was going to tour with the band T&N (former members of Dokken). Well now it appears that he plans to record music with George Lynch and a few other musicians (who are not part of T&N).

You can read about it here.

I think it is cool that he has that opportunity. However, depending on the lyrics will depend on whether I get this or not, though.

For me the same.

I doubt with the other guys involved that it will have Christian lyrics; but with MS doing the singing, you gotta bet that it will at least be a clean secular record. I'll be all over this when it releases!

If this rock as good as I think it will I will be all over this regardless of the lyrics.

I kind of doubt Michael will compromise his faith with dirty lyrics, but the other hand I wound't excpect it to "evangelical" either.
If I like it I will buy it.

The good news is he says he'll be singing the Dokken songs, and while some of those can be a bit racy, as well many of the 80's metal songs, I can't think of any off the top of my head that would harm Michael image or place him in a compromising position. Besides, he's a big boy; I'm sure (I think) that if he objected to any of the songs he wouldn't sing them.

Oops, I think I duped your post.

I really love the live album he did as lead for Boston. Sounds great. I was a tad surprised he did the song "Smokin'" but then I had to get over my legalistic flesh on that one.

Boston has a live album out with Sweet singing? Whats it called?..
.
I always saw Dokken as one of the most innocent of the 80s bands. I just don't see anyrhing they did lyrically as "racy".

No worries, besides it's always good for my ego when someone agrees with me.

"Come Together - A Tribute To Brad Delp"
It's excellent ! Sweet handles Delp's range beautifully !

It was more by implication than outright stated, and it is only in a handful of songs. I love Dokken and I agree with the overall idea that they were one of the cleanest of the 80s bands. But "The Hunter", for example, is a rough song lyrically for me. I won't listen to that one. I'd be a bit disappointed if Michael Sweet sang that one. But the vast majority of their catalog is fine.
