Loved Dokken, not sure they ever got the respect they should have but the people that got them, loved them

This girl is lucky to be listening to this great 80s music

The most underrated rock band of all time.

I haven't heard this in ages. I love Dokken. "Alone Again' is one of the best songs of the 80's.

Dokken is one of the best bands ever .

My favorite band as well. Those days we had no worries and just enjoyed good music and life with friends and family. I'm 51 now and still Rockin with Dokken.

Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, & George Lynch were all rivals on the LA scene in the mid 70s. They each became famous at different times. The 1st 2 are legends. GL is also great and seriously underrated. Just Got Lucky from Beast from the East is my fav.

Saw Dokken at Livestock in Zephyrhills Florida 1995. 3 days of Rock outside in a huge open pasture. Incredible! So many incredible bands all weekend. What a weekend.

I hate to sound like one of those old guys but that era was just the best in every way. No social media, no cell phones, no streaming. Just feel good rock music played organically by some talented musicians with actual showmanship. An albums release was a big deal and we bought it, listened to the whole thing, watched the videos and went to the shows. Innocent time. A better time.

Yessssss...more 80s Rock and Metal please.

My band of the 80's. Yes! You have to try her on "Lightnin' Strikes Again". Mr. Scary is great but "Kiss of Death" has to be in there too.

This was my favorite band during the 80s. I saw them a couple of times, once opening for Aerosmith and again here in Seattle at the Phoenix. Don Dokkens mic actually came apart and a piece hit me. My favorite song being "In My Dreams."

George and Yngwie were my favorite guitarists of the 80s. Mind you I was really into Metallica Megadeth Slayer Anthrax ect. Dokken definitely did NOT get their due but was a big part of the hard rock/heavy metal scene.

Don's voice was in the stratosphere back then.

Love Dokken although they were not the first to do a video like this. That honour goes to AC/DC with “It’s a Long Way to the Top”. It was a nice tribute that’s for sure.

Dokken is my favorite band of all time as well. I have watched them in concert 3 or 4 times.

Must do "time will tell" a collaboration with Michael Sweet and George Lynch, a fantastic fusion of Dokken & Stryper.

I saw them on that tour in Germany and had the luck to meet the band at the hotel after the gig. Don, Mick and Jeff were really nice guys.

My very favorite 80s band, and I'm still listening to them

You gotta play In My Dreams live in Philly 87... George has such a raw sound and the solo is just frantic!

Didn't know if you knew this, but Dokken also did a theme song for a Freddie zKruger, Nightmare on Elmstreets movie in 85. I'm a girl from the 80"s, and the music was Awesome!!!!! Big Hair, and plenty of excess, Loved the clothes! Music these days Can't compare to these great Rock Bands! I remember the Scorpions, Ratt, Deg Leopard, Bon Jovi, Firehouse, Poison. Just an Awesome decade for music!!!

I would put the trifecta of “Tooth and Nail”, “Under Lock and Key” and “Back For The Attack” up against any three albums in a row in the entire decade. Great stuff!

Thanks for the Dokken entry! They've been my favorite band of the era since I was like 15 (35 years ago). Can't wait to see more!

Always loved Dokken. One of my favs in the 80's. Still listen to anything George and Jeff put out. Other favorite was Tesla.

80's had the best decade of everything.....movies, music, tv shows....everything rocked in the 80's.

More Dokken please! In high school they were my favorite band. George Lynch is my favorite guitarist all time & he's still out there doing what he does best

Lynch, Nuno and Vito were my favorite guitarists of that era.

Still on all the original CDs seen them many times in concert in one of my favorite songs by them who always remain The Hunter

Dokken was one of the opening bands at the Monsters of Rock tour. I'll never forget that (think around 1988). What a time that was! Van Halen (headliner), Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica and Kingdom Come. Wish the music nowadays was good haha ...'White Lion' is another group to give a try

Loved Dokken. One time during the early 90s, Dokken decided to play a show in a small theater in my city. Unfortunately for the band, hardly anyone showed up for the show... Not sure if it was because the show was in a inner city area, with a lack of love of rock and roll, or if it was because of poor promotion. They were pretty big at the time. Fortunatly for me, got to see an almost private show with no more than about 50 people. We were all standing up close, next to the stage. Yes, George Lynch was awesome

1971 here...I'm so glad I could experience this LIVE back before things are the way they are now. SOO many bands back in the day...Crue, Cinderella, Ratt, UGGHH...the list is sooooo long. Thanks for the video. It's been forever since I heard this song!

Most underrated band ever to come out of the 80s, dokkens the shit

Dokken is great, they have some seriously good hidden gems on some of their later albums too. “Goodbye My Friend” is one of them

I was huge Dokken fan as well, I first saw them in concert at Monsters Of Rock in 1988 with Metallica, Scorpions, Kingdom Come and Van Halen...I like Too High To Fly

Your dad is so cool. He has such enthusiasm and love for everything that the two of you review. Most channels are full of music snobs but he believes in good music.

One of my favourite bands. Discovered them back in my uni days in late 2000. Saw them live in 2005 in London, club called "The Underworld", and they were great.

George Lynch competed with Randy Rhoads for the Ozzy gig originally. When Randy won the gig he asked George to take over teaching his students at Musonia, Randy’s moms school. George taught there for a while and would sell guitars to students that he built with parts from charvel that charvel was tossing out. When Randy died in the plane crash, George won the Ozzy gig after Brad Gillis went back to Night Ranger. George was on tour with Ozzy for two weeks before Ozzy let him go in favor of Jake E Lee. George rejoined Dokken with great success and later formed Lynch Mob with Mick Brown.

This is one of their top 3 songs to me; the others are Lightning Strikes Again (from this same '85 album), and Turn On The Action (from 1984's Tooth & Nail). One of the very best metal bands of the early/mid 80s, a definite influence when I picked up the guitar in '88 myself.

Love George Lynch. Dokken’s “Alone Again” was what I learned to play guitar to.

Dokken is one of my favorite bands as well...👍

Love Dokken they're definitely one of my top tier favorites in classic rock especially along with Van Halen, Aerosmith, AC/DC, ETC. Mad respect for those guys.

Great description of Don Dokken's voice. He is one of my fav singers.

Dokken's Beast from the East still one of the best live albums ever. I would guess there was additional production but still awesome. Bought mine in Japan while in the navy!

I was into LA Metal in the 1980s.Dokken were one of the more talented groups. A great era to live. To show off what you had. Listening to the power of Dokken for inspiration❤🎸🎧🎶🎤💯

Dokken is rockin! My first "favorite" band.

In a recent interview I heard, Don said he hated filming this video because he said it was so unsafe. None of the guys were secured to the trailer, except Mick, so they were constantly struggling to keep their balance and nearly fell off the truck. He said they had permits for everything, so it wasn't as improv as it looked. Plus, he said it was really cold when they filmed at night.

most underrated band of the 80s

loved Dokken! very underated band. Great singer

Rockin w Dokken!!!! What a great time that was!! 🔥🤘😎🥰

Only got to see Dokken once when they supported AC/DC's blow up your video tour in the UK was blown away by them and still a big fan

Just seen them a few weeks back. Don definitely sings a few octaves lower & moves a bit slower. George still had energy of a young man. This song was a very cool video.

I love this video, Dokken actually did some really good ones. My favorite is probably "in my dreams ". In the video where it's raining on them and the drummer hits his drums with the water flying off them. Wow.

Dokken is *the* Band. They're the group that got me into hard rock. I saw them headline at Irvine Meadows with Great White opening. Then at Monsters of Rock - which was a nightmare because of the arrogant Metallica fans who constantly talked shit. (Ironically, I just found out the Kirk spent all his time backstage hanging with George) I saw them lots of times in their prime, we were even there in the audience when they did the acoustic "One Live Night" performance in Redondo Beach. Years later I used to go out to see Jeff Pilson's solo acoustic band "Better Mousetrap" and we became friends, right about the time the group reformed for "Dysfunctional." Eventually, my wife and I used to hang out at Jeff's house and take care of their dog. We met the whole band, and hung out with them while they were recording "Shadowlife" which was where the label was trying to push them into being an Alternative/Grunge group. Don resisted. He owned the original Dokken logo and wouldn't let them use it. We got to see some of the bad energy between Don and George and brother was it UGLY. Eventually, my wife was running their official fan club and our best friend Kirsten Denoyelis was running their web site. After George left again we got to know Reb, who we had met when he was with Alice Cooper when they played with Dokken at the Alladin hotel in Vegas. About that time we moved to Sacramento and lost touch with everyone, but Don sold us a car that had used to belong to his brother and had been driven by John Norum.

My dad raised me on this music at like 11 or 12 and now at 31 this music is still my go too! I'm so glad yall did this! Dokken is easily my go to!

I turned 12 on jan 2 1980. So i went through the 80's listening to the best rock/ metal ever. And this was one of the tracks i really blasted on my stereo.

I love this song and album, Under Lock and Key is just so good, but love this whole era of Dokken, back to Tooth & Nail and then the heavier sound of Back for the Attack. Saw them live a few times in the late 80s and they were always great. I always thought this video was a bit of an homage to AC/DCs - It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock'N'Roll) video that they shot in a similar way in 1976 on the back of a flatbed truck going through Melbourne. Love seeing you share Dokken!

FANTASTIC SONG OFF A FANTASTIC ALBUM. . LOVE THIS JAM. . GREAT GUITAR WORK AND GUITAR SOLO. LOVE ME SOME OLD SCHOOL CLASSIC DOKKEN. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Dokken were staples of the eighties…. I have the best of cd now, but I only saw them once…on the Monsters Of Rock tour when it came to the LA Coliseum….with Kingdom Come, Metallica, Dokken, The Scorpions and Van Halen…..what a day that was!

You can't appreciate a good rock song without headphones or an awesome set of speakers!

My band opened for them on the Erase the slate tour and we had a blast and they kicked ass😊

Loved this reaction. I'm a huge Dokken fan. Could you react to their harder hits like lightning strikes again or Til the livin' end.

Came over from Take Hold The Flame...you mentioned Dokken and Queensryche; as being specially in sync when live. Having seen the former 3 or 4 times, prime years, and the latter at their late prime- You GET it. Sub'd

Absolutely love hearing from you. You are the balls and the shaft! Wish we hung out back then!

Great song, great video, but have to say it, ACDC did the whole riding on a flatbed thing first in 1976 with "It's a Long Way To The Top(If you want to Rock and Roll)" You should at that one to your list.

im 55 and hangout with mostly people 50 and under. End of the night (of drinking) we do the 1 second challenge. I Dominate of course...Haha. Love your channel.

As a member of the class of growing up in the 60's and 70's...the music of course was singularly the greatest put to vinyl, but " The 80's" , man, you just had to be there...Enjoy your channel a great deal...keep it up...Rock ON!!!

In My Dreams video by Dokken is a must!! Great music!!!

When introducing someone to Dokken, I would go with In My Dreams, Alone Again, or maybe Dream Warriors. This is more of a deep cut for us longtime fans.

Saw them in the early 90’s and then in 2015. Don’s voice isn’t like it was but it was so good to see them again years later!

One giant rock band did the ride around town on a flat bed truck before Dokken, AC/DC did a video of ‘Its A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock n Roll)’ back in the late 70’s. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m\

I too am a huge Dokken fan, I've always felt they were WAY to under rated for there quality. Some of the best 80's metal of all time, 'In my dreams", "Alone again", "The Hunter" awesome stuff.

SUPER GREAT YOUR SHARING DOKKEN. Very Few do The ONE and ONLY GREAT DOKKEN. THANK YOU......!!!!!

Kept the 80’s rock coming !

Dokken is just awesome!! One of my favorites from back in the day and still today.

Yes, some of them had mullets. And yes denim on denim. We all wore it back then. It was the fashion. Everyone had a denim jacket.

Dokken is one of my favorite bands. You should also do a reaction to Damn Yankees Come Again

I subscribe immediately when he said, "We're going to be doing a lot more Dokken..... "

George Lynch was underrated by everyone except true fans & guitar aficionados. Dee Snider tells a Story about when Twisted Sister was touring with Dokken, and there was this screaming guitar coming out of the back of the Dokken bus. He went into the bus to see what was going on, & there’s George, sitting on the floor in the back, with his guitar plugged into a small Marshall Stack, absolutely shredding … &’probably going deaf. Dee reached down & unplugged the guitar from the amp & basically said ‘George, What the F**k are you doing?’ George just looked up at him, didn’t say a word, plugged the guitar back in & just started wIling again. Dude was just a rock n roll guitar God. And that’s all he ever wanted to be!

Thanx for doing this review. Dokken is and forever will be a huge part of my life! Alexis, you are a doll and you liking Dokken makes you even hotter!

What a great band and song, Dokken's always been so good. I saw a comment on the thread here calling Dokken the most under rated rock band, but another great under rated rock band would be Thunder - and their song Dirty Love would be a great starting point

The debut of the J Frog Skull n Bones guitar. ESP reps told him that he couldn't use it in the video unless an ESP decal was added to the headstock. That's why both logos appear. Ed Roman guitars sells the Skull n Bones with the J Frog logo.

I have a ESP reissue of that Johnny Garcia or J.Frog skull n bones guitar it’s a shred machine. The first video I seen George use it in was the Dream Warriors video for Nightmare on ElmStreet, Love your music selection.

Lost Behind The Wall was my all time favorite go to song by Dokken. I’m a big Rush fan but Dokken got me through high school.

Favorite Dokken song by a long shot for me. Always loved the concept for the video, driving down the road on a flatbed. I always thought it was cool.

I always loved Stick to your Guns, wish they would have done it live. Saw them open for Priest in '86

Thanks for doing my favourite 80s band, yes even on top of VH.

I loved Dokken as a teenager.

Dokken was one of my favorites also!

Thank you for featuring Dokken!

Love this video, My favorite band. Thanks

They filmed in slow mo then speeded (sic?) the audio to normal-if not,they'd have busted their asses falling and instruments getting damaged. Even the crowd was asked to move slower. This track is classic;their best album imo

Wow 15 times? I saw them probably around 4 times. They were great back then. They had a way of dialing in their so that it was very clear and large sounding in the little arenas they played. But I also saw them at the enormo-dome and they sounded great there too.

We had a radio station here in Phoenix back in the 80s 98KUPD sometimes when they would play Dokken, The DJ would make an introduction," you're Rockin with Dokken on 98KUPD" Dokken has always been one of my favorite bands also.

My favorite song from them...got to see them a few times live!

I’m a huge Dokken fan.. like huge. I had no idea that Don used to play guitar before Lynch joined. Could jump into some Lynchmob after this

Loved Beast from the East. We never hear about George Lynch’s guitar playing or Nuno from Extreme. I’m glad your putting them out here.

Love Dokken ... especially Tooth and Nail 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I heard that video was made on a Friday afternoon during rush hour in Los Angeles and had traffic backed up for 6 hours.

It all comes down to what sounds best to one's ears, but for my money, George Lynch is the best guitarist ever. His style, phrasing, tones, mix, etc. are all a perfect blend. He has so much music out there that doesn't get any air play, whether it be from Dokken, Lynch Mob or some of the many side projects he has done. Lots of goods songs already mentioned in the comments to review, but also I'd like to see Sleepless Night, any Lynch Mob, or George's video from Headbanger's Ball, when he was in the studio playing a long melodic lead over a backing track.
