Sweet & Lynch, the supergroup featuring Stryper vocalist Michael Sweet, iconic guitarist George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob, KXM), bassist James Lomenzo (White Lion, Megadeth) and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, S.U.N.) has released an audio snippet of the song Time Will Tel. It is being streamed exclusively at Blabbermouth.net and can be heard by clicking here.
Sweet told Guitar International, “I co-wrote the songs with George. I called Brian Tichy and James Lomenzo to put the band together. You’ll start to hear about it in September with the first single and video. It’s an incredible combination of classic 70s and 80s. You will hear some flavors of Journey, Bad Company, Dokken, Van Halen, and Stryper. James and Brian are amazing musicians. They tore it up. The drums and bass are just as impressive as the guitars. Everybody really delivered. I love this CD. I’m super excited for people to hear this CD. I’m so proud of it.”

Love it, can’t wait for this CD, George Lynch’s solo sounds wicked. However, the chorus vocals are identical to the Stryper song “Blackened” (off 2013’s Second Coming.) Not sure how Michael Sweet didn’t know he was ripping himself off on that one!
Sweet and lynch sound great together.I’m not sold on all the supergroups going on right now aka”savage animal”.lol lynch was in a band last week with kings x singer.he’s almost as busy as miles kennedy.
Nice sounding tune other than the Stryper steal but if you can’t steal from your self then who can you steal from I guess. Lynch is his usual blazing riffs maniac that we all love so
Finally a supergroup that sounds good !! Im totally impressed, George finally sounds like classic Lynch sound, Michael still one of the greatest voices around, and killer back up in Lomenzo and Tichy, Rating B+
I think the word “supergroup” can be a blessing and a curse for guys like this. They should just be looked at as a new band. But, just because they are each known, established artists, they get tagged with that label before they play one note. In this case, however, I like what I’ve heard so far and would like to hear more. I’ve always been a fan of George’s playing and Brian Tichy is a beast on the drums.
As far as “Supergroups” go, to be honest, there’s really only been one this century that became one of my favorite bands and still is despite the fact that they broke up: Black Country Communion.
