Dokken's new video

[Hollywood]

Thought they did a good job of casting for Mick, until
I realized that was actually Dokken. Don is looking like
the teared up Indian guy on the don't litter commercials.
Hope they made good money off that, because it won't help
any of their music sales!

[wanthairspray]

Those are great! At first, I thought it was fake.

Yep, Don looks ancient.

I honestly thought it was fake too. Crazy.

IMO dokken ended the second lynch left
how awesome would it have been if the chicken beat don dokken up!

Man, you guys are hard on Don Dokken. The guy was probably in his 30's during the mighty hairband days. The guy has to be well into his 50's. He's a rockstar.....those five to six years of living the life probably adds 20 years to your body. And what does he care, he probably LIVED more in one year than we will in a lifetime.
Great video though!!!

Especially if it was holding a miniture J Frog skull guitar! HA HA!

[Axewielder]

Fixed!

Wrong...

Jon Levin does George better than George can.

Their new record is very good and sounds like vintage Dokken.

[Rupe]

Funny stuff, thanks!

I was a huge Lynch fan, but to say Dokken ended when he left does a disservice to some awesome contributions by Billy White, John Norum, Reb Beach, and Jon Levin. Dokken as we knew it may have been done, but there was plenty left. In fact, I'll put Erase the Slate, Lightening Strikes Again, or Don's first solo album up against the Shadowlife album (and most of Dysfunctional) any time.

If Don is looking old, its because he is.

[mr426]

John Noram did Shadowlife, so you can't say Lynch had much to do with that except the tour, and I agree-NO LYNCH...NO DOKKEN.In my eyes he was the only guitar player for that band.It's like saying Bruce Kulick made KISS great after Ace left...

[Rupe]

Lynch absolutely helped make the band, but his replacements did a good job of putting their own spin on things...except for Levin who "out Lynches" Lynch these days.

John Norum had nothing to do with the Shadowlife album...he finished the tour when Lynch quit. That album was primarily Lynch's baby. Not s shocker seeing as his next solo project (Smoke This) was equally as horrible if not worse.

[Soap]

Yeah "Smoke This" was horrible and Shadowlife was as well.
Without question, Lynch has been experimental throughout his career.
Whether you like or hate some of his solo stuff.
As an artist, Lynch has been true to himself.
Like many artist do, he has explored and experimented.
I can't really fault him for that.

[tonemonster]

Lynch was amazing, but lost his mojo around 1994 IMO. Dysfunctional was "OK" but not great. shadow life was completely useless. I literally flung it out the window on my way home from Sam Goody when I bought it. I am not shittin ya. it was garbage.

[tonemonster]

that inspired me for a signature.
