Sin City
The song 'Sin City' came a long way before making it to RISE. It is the second song I ever wrote and finished as a complete song. The initial title was 'Got to Go'. But as more new songs were completed, I became unsure about the song, and at some point decided to put it on the shelf since all the new songs were just better.
Then in the summer of 2019 I asked Keith St John if he could make something out of the song, in such a way that it could be on the album.
​
And so he did, Keith wrote a steamy, sexy, hot rocking hair metal song and I was immediately convinced it should be on the album.
And when Keith organized George Lynch for the guest solo, he made a dream come true.
​
A nice statistic: although Keith is playing in Lynch Mob for quite some time with George, there is only one album that features both of them together, which is the Kill all Control album, released under George's name. 'RISE' is the second album recording featuring Keith and George on the same song!
Sin City
​
Intro Guitar: George Lynch
She got glitter lites, wild nites
A rock fever cranked up loud
Pyrotechnic, magnetic
She gonna shake the ground
She got skin shows dirty poses
Sexy tramps chasin' my guitar
Wet lips losin' grip
Sinkin' ships on the boulevard
​
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive
But it’s not Love
It’s Sin City
Ya know It’s never enough
In Sin City
ooh n’ I can see
She’s a Killer Queen Sex Machine
The Devil’s Angel’s sellin' sin
It tastes sweet
Ya like the heat
​
But your dreams are down in flames
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive
But it’s not love
It’s Sin City ya know
It’s never enough
In Sin City
Come on, let’s go for a ride
Guitar Solo: George Lynch
​
Glitter lites, wild nites
Drop dead , pretty head
Sex kinetic, magnetic
Sexy tramps every night in bed
She knows you want it yeah
She knows you need it
Hey - You know ya want it
Hey - You know ya need it
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive oh yeah
But it’s not love
It’s Sin City
Ya know It’s never enough
In Sin City
Oh and I can see that it’s all goin' down in flames
But it’s not love no
Bright lights, big City
Hot tramps
Lookin' pretty
Anytime she can feed my drive
Sin City’s so alive
Pretty head is never enough
Drop dead I’m so in love
It’s never enough
I’m goin' down in flames
It’s never enough
Glitter lights, wild nights,
Lookin' pretty
But it ain’t love
It’s just Sin City
