This was a monumental moment for us metal heads back in the day! My friends and I went to see this at the theater when it came out, and they stopped the cameras as this song played during the credits. We revolted and started throwing our drinks and popcorn at the camera booth and yelling,” Turn it back on!!! You don’t stop when Dokken is playing!!!” And they turned it back on!!! Just for that moment… We had won!😂
@@markgiordonello6710I was alive but a toddler at the time. A cassingle sounds cool and definitely would be a very cool collectible today. A vaguely remember cassettes with cheap paper sleeves as samplers and such 👍
Absolutely love that album when it first came out. Remember listening to only Under lock and Key on my Walkman for about 6 months. Then again I also spent months listening exclusively to Iron Maidens Powerslave on its release.
Dream Warriors is my favorite Dokken song. You could have the Halloween decorations up for the whole month of October. I love this video. Bc it's like they're Freddy Krueger's nightmare😂.
Don's voice back then was epic, he could hit the high notes for sure, we saw him about two years ago though and it was sad listening to him and we ended up leaving early, so did many others. Father time had caught up with Don.
The first show I worked as backstage Security at Hard Rock Live in Orlando was the Dokken, Slaughter, Poison and Cinderella show on 9/3/2000. I got to Rock with Dokken and party with the bands in their dressing rooms and on the tour buses after the gig. 🤘
everytime i hear or see Dokken i get flashbacks to the old Norton antivirus commercial :D "image your computer is this chicken, and the 80's heavy metal band Dokken is a computervirus. Dokken doesn't like chicken, and wants to destroy it." :D
The Dokken new album kicks butt 9 out of the 10 tracks is legit didn't care much on the last song on the album but 9 songs are great about 4 songs makes the album complete
This song was the them song of the Nightmare on Elmstreet III movie, so all the creepy footage is from the actual movie and were fit into the music video. The scene when the guitar player come out of the wall is identical in the movie except that it is Freddy that comes out of the wall. You have to watch the movie to see all the parallels made between the music video and the movie. The funny part where Freddy wakes up and says what a nightmare is funny because in the movies Freddy goes into the dream of the kids who sleeps and creates the nightmare!
It's cool, that happens quite a bit. Not everyone stays around for our commentary. As they are fond of saying, "we talk to much"🤣😂😁 Hope ya liked the reaction. @@bartender678
That would have been considered weak "metal" back then. The movie which featured me ch heavier metal would be "River's Edge" with Keanu Reeves. It has Slayer and Hallows Eve playing on screen. But the first movie to have what would be considered Metal has to be the animated movie, "Heavy Metal." As it featured Black Sabbath and other similar bands.
Ozzy’s “Shot in the Dark” video, and agree with Fastway and “Trick or Treat” movie and/or OST. Another fun movie would be the Rankin/Bass “Mad Monster Party”
I didnt see the movie til it was out on video & my parents rented it. At the end of the movie was this music video. And that is how I discovered Dokken. 🤣 We didnt own a VCR but the rental place rented those out too.
Could you please consider reacting to the band Blackbriar (symphonic metal in perfection). The official music videos of The Seance (or My Soul's Demise) would fit perfectly for the Halloween Series. They are such a great band, with excellent vocals and music, and breathtaking cinematics and acting. I'm sure you won't regret it! ❤
Please say you're planning on doing He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask) by Alice Cooper from Friday the 13th part...IV? It fits the Halloween theme so well and is such a good companion piece to Dream Warriors.
I remember this music video was featured on the VHS for Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Absolutely enjoyed the song and was so ready for the movie right after
Recently I listened to an interview with George Lynch in which he said that between takes he and Robert Englund were snorting coke off of one of the razor fingers in Freddy's glove. He got so high it took many takes for him to burst through a wall that a 5 year old girl could have went through.
What a great video to kick off Halloween week with and Freddy Krueger's "who are those guys" line at the end is classic. Can't wait to see what's next. 🙌✌️
I saw Nightmare 3 in the theater at age 6! It's like the first movie I remember seeing (the first I actually saw is Richard Pryor: Live On The Sunset Strip because my parents couldn't find a babysitter). You have to remember Kristen was dreaming when she walked into the house. In fact, aside from Nancy's family and Jesse's family, I don't recall anyone going into the house through all of the movies except in Freddy's Dead when Tracy, Spencer, Carlos, John Doe and Maggie go inside, but in their defense, it first appeared as a different house. Kristen was dreaming when she went in. In part 4, even her mom says "get the hell away from that house".
I went to see Dokken concert with a few other well known bands and was very bummed that this song was not on there playlist but yet a great concert none the less and the lead singer could hit the high notes still without any straining on his vocal cords.
Highly "UNDERRATED" band 😞 been a fan since 84's Tooth and Nail was released but never got to see them till 96's Dysfunctional tour. Was a smaller club, not an arena, with original lineup and was probably one of the best shows ever 🤘 think about doing a reaction to "DOKKEN Alone Again (live)" , is the long version 7:22 👍
I can't read these "underrated" comments anymore. Every single music related video on YT has clow... people of your kind in the comment section. Dokken sold millions of records, produced three platinum albums in a row and had a guitarist that was in every guitar-magazine at that time. Tell me how this is HIGHLY UNDERRATED. Dokken did not have albums that were filled with awesome songs, like some other bands had. Three to four solid songs on one album at the most. And Dokken split up several times.
Gotta do Dangerous Toys and their song "Scared". Great track even though it's not in a movie soundtrack. "Scared" is still a great Halloween rocker!!!!
One, two Freddie's comin' for you Three, four Better lock your door Five, six Get your crucifix Seven, eight Gonna stay up late Nine, ten Never dream again...
I have a couple suggestions. Scream Until You Like It by W.A.S.P from Ghoulies 2 and Bring Your Daughter by Iron Maiden or Bruce Dickinson whichever version from Nightmare 5
After not practicing guitar for for a about 2 weeeks, I put in a good solid hour of killing my fingertips and put my guitar away. Then you post this reaction and somehow it just magically appeared again, so now my fingertips feel like Freddy burned them. Thanks alot. George is one of my all time favorite guitar players and I really enjoy playing (attempting) to play some of the Dokken songs. I know I'll never be able to even come close to his speed and style in his solo's but I can still learn alot practing to them.
I'd love to see you react to "Princes Of The Universe" by Queen from the 1986 film *HIGHLANDER* 🗡, which also featured the star of the movie interacting with band👍
I remember when the VHS came out, I was so ticked off because they replaced Into the Fire, when Kristen turns on the radio to stay wake with a different song from another New Line film, Quiet Cool. They finally corrected it on the dvds. Also, strangely enough, the EP soundtrack they put out didn't have Into the Fire on it either. It was Dream Warriors, the unreleased song Back for the Attack (which became the title of their next album, but didn't include this song) and an edited version of Paris is Burning.
At the time this movie was coming out, there was a competition between Dio and Dokken to write the song for this soundtrack. Dokken did this song. Ronnie James Dio and his band wrote the song Dream Evil, which was originally leading the race until the very last when the producers threw it over to Dokken instead. Dio actually had a whole album called Dream Evil. I suspect Dokken won the competition because their song was a bit more positive/upbeat, whereas Dream Evil was much more darkly themed. I think the movie would have had a totally different vibe if Dio's Dream Evil had won that competition over Dokken's Dream Warrior. I definitely recommend checking it out as it's a bit scarier because it's more closely Halloween-themed. Unlike Dream Warriors, which as Alexis noted, wasn't really scary. (I saw Dio on the Dream Evil tour. Megadeth opened. It was a very intense concert.)
Whenever I hear this song, I remember getting pulled over in my friends 65 Nova and the cops taking our bottles of everclear and night train and calling our parents to come pick us up. My girlfriend babysat for one of the cops and guess what later turned up at his house? Yep, our everclear and night train.
The thing that gets me is that the single version of this song sounds meaner/harder than the album version. If you had the single then you know exactly what I mean.
