Cause he's a cool dude

I like all the guys in Dokken and George is my favorite guitarist of all time but Don seems to be more kind and friendly. More of a people person. A true classy dude.

Did they all give you a standing ovation afterwards? Take you BS story and go back to your Bieber site.

LUCKY ASS IM 13 and that would be my DREAM I JUST LOST MY BREATH CUZ WHAT U SAID

because he's a classy humble guy

What are your other 2 favourite albums Pete?

Dude... don't leave us hangin' here! What are the other two albums? We kinda need to know just because.

@@LorriSanga Well, because you asked so very nicely, I'll give you my top FIVE favorite albums! However, I always say my favorite album (or movie, book, etc.) is likely one I have yet to discover. So with that said, here's my top 5: 1- Carpenters- A Song For You Weren't exactly expecting that, were you? I could listen to Karen Carpenter sing the menu of a Chinese take out restaurant. Spectacular album with a ton of beautiful songs. I believe Alice Cooper once said "If you look through any metalheads record collection, you'll probably find a Carpenters album in there" and sunuvabitch if he ain't right. And speaking of The Coop... 2- Alice Cooper -Billion Dollar Babies I think this was the best one of the original Alice Cooper Band and it's one I listen to all the time. I never get tired of it. 3- Dokken -Under Lock and Key Nuff said. 4 - Opeth - Blackwater Park I'm not a big death metal guy, but there is something about Opeth that hooks me right in. Back in 01, the two metal albums I remember hearing the most buzz about was this one and Iced Earth's Horror Show. Both I picked up and instantly loved, but Opeth to this day is one of my favorite bands and Blackwater Park was my gateway. 5- Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction A seminal moment in my adolescence was hearing Symphony of Destruction on the radio. That riff kicked me square in the nuts and I was all in after that. I had a chance to meet Dave Mustaine and told him that exact thing, which he replied "Uh, I'm sorry about that..." So that's my top five, what's yours? I'd love to know!

@@ancogaming ha! Sorry to leave you dangling in the wind my friend! I sent a reply with my top albums to Lori who asked the initial question. What are your top 3 albums (or 5 for that matter)?

Great album and Tooth and Nail n Back for the Attack . Second favorite band from the LA metal scene behind RATT 🤘

Well said and as the 50 somethings reflect Dokken was by far the finer taste of " 80s Metal" and I'd say at this most realize can now say with the resounding realization that Dokken was the finest band of this particular genre and moment in time.

@@roberthill1104 - Exactly!! I've been a big fan of Dokken since the beginning!! No fan of ANY genre of rock music can possibly deny the effect that Dokken has had on today's bands, or future bands! Dokken STILL rules, not as much today, BUT they still crank out kick ass rock and roll! Grunge is DEAD, and has been for quite some time.

They were real poseurs... and that's a compliment?

Hands down great all Around band.

Unfortunately, Dokken went with management that pointed them to the next glam trend when doing photo shoots or album covers. The reality is they never dressed or looked glam the five or six times I saw them in the '80s. The only one who really did was Pilson and not to any extreme. Don would typically dress in black or denim. As Don has said, he wished they would have gone with Q-Prime who basically didn't promote a band on how they dressed or looked.

***** the album

+AlphaOmegaSin , I actually like Back for the Attack a tad more- but not by much. additionally, I was slightly disheartened to find that the "Back for the Attack" song wasn't on the same cd (at least in america) - but none the less- both great cds!

+AlphaOmegaSin DUUUDE. wasn't expecting to see you here lol Tooth and nail is awesome as shit

The title song is easily one of the best heavy metal songs I've ever heard. Not a lot of people agree with that one. Turn on the Action is also on one of my highest spots for most underrated songs, along with Rock Bottom (UFO).

@@albinospino3089 Don't Close Your Eyes is the hidden GEM of the album,.Make NO mistake

And not just any guitarist, but one who can stand on par with the greatest in the world!

Since WHEN did George Lynch become a LAWYER?!?!....😳🤭😆

@@jamescon55 Not Lynch, the person being discussed is Jon Levin.

@@justinclark8867 Well, thanks for the clarification.. But? I thought the band and OR guitarist/person the video was about was DOKKEN and the amazing George Lynch 🤔 Since when are we talking about Tony Levin OR any of his projects/professions? Lol...And IF he WAS/IS discussed in this video? NO, I CANNOT and will NOT sit through "that video" AGAIN to see/hear the Tony Levin comparison/discussion 😬. I mean, DOKKEN'S "Kiss of Death song is a preliminary early song about the AIDS epidemic in that era?" 🤨 And "Under Lock and Key IS the BEST darn DOKKEN album EVER, BUY IT!" 🧐 ALL "that", along WITH THAT dude's obnoxious, some kind of "wrestling anouncer audio voice" hollering throughout the whole deal? 🤨😒🙄 Personally? I think the guy is just a loudmouth idiot.....🥱

I have noticed many metal bands made Live in Japan albums. In the 1980s USA Japan was everywhere from what I gathered: technology, games, music, Anime, cartoons, toys, movies, products, wrestling, Sumo, fashion, dojos..

Did you have a mullet to go with that car?

I am just jealous as fuck at the metal in that sentence.

That's pretty metal

Reb is awesome. He was SO underappreciated in Winger, who I also love.

A mansion in LA and a 7 figure checking account will fix that depression right up.

In 98 he had to have a new thort to much screaming on the top of his lungs

He's still a guitarist, so there's that.

Or their hair

And their hot body!

Saw them open for Priest ....great concert !!!

Ratt is one of my personal favourites

Im right with you on this one....1. Van Halen 2. Dokken 3. Bullet Boys.......I graduated in 86.

***** indeed they do

Dokken. A great band, with the original line up that is.... Breaking the Chains.

ROKKEN WITH DOKKEN

When some nights you are Lonely you just call out my name...

When Love finds a Fool

What he said.

HES 32!

@Cult Mechanicus Now THAT'S funny. OP claims to be a critical and argumentative man, but YOU'RE the one running your mouth, fucking classic

LORDERIK13 i thought he was born in 84’

I like metal and grunge. It's possible.

One Alice N Chains song is better than everything Dokken or all the hair metal bands ever did.

@Gorilla Of Destiny I for one am glad both hair metal and grunge was replaced by pop divas singing to music created in computers by a commitee, instead of musicians playing actual fucking instruments. Though it it good to see the people still arguing about how the music they listened to in high school was the best.

Grunge was a media term which did not fit any of the bands who were supposedly part of it. That became obvious and the term died whilst the bands continued long after

@@Jordan-Ramses so true. Dokken is awful.

@@Jordan-Ramses Lol! Good one! Oh.... you're not joking? Dude, too much pretentiousness is never good for anyone man.

Great record!

I was lucky enough to be around them at Total Access with XYZ etc and love all those times. Don is awesome, as well as John Norum and Mikki. Crash and Burn brother, great song.

That makes sense. He had to be in his 40s then and chasing skirt, to most at that age is a been there done that kind of thing. Unless you are single./

Hair metal fucking rules...

Fun fact, so did Alice in chains and Pantera in the 80s. No seriously, they played glam in the 80s.

Rock Bands should be better than me. Not dressing like me, not sounding like me, not behaving like me. They should be gods to worship.

Why define as "hair". This label needs to be lost.

We gotta get rid of the term "hair metal" .... I'm sure it's too late but I always preferred "Aluminum" for a lighter metal .... 🤷‍♂️

It's called a fair weather friend.

In fact: It's called a drummer.

Good point. It could also be alcohol.

2 face mick wild how he dose this he never around when George an don are in room ,,,lol

Mick Brown always comes across as overbearing to me, and as someone here put it, a fair weather friend.

AmericanPoliceState Ever seen his Darkthrone Mythos?

Metalica is one I would love for him to just tear a new one also of course he just did the Iron Maiden mythos.

+Azzalack he cant do Manowar, they are absolute copyright nazis

grahurhurgunsnroses sorry, had to hack up some hacks

Guns N' Roses Mythos

If someone would just cover Alone Again now, it would blow these pop tarts off the internet.

Check out the channel NWOTHW full albums lot of great stuff on there from the present as well as from the past with new offerings, but sadly some sound great but lack good vocals to carry them, still check it out you might be surprised

Only about 6 or 7 episodes into these. I know Razorfist from all his other KZfaq stuff and I'm digging all of these. Are there bands he despises that may surprise someone new to this series? I've gathered so far that he despises Metallica and is not too fond of AC/DC. That's about all I've been able to tell so far.

Venus Spa Rock out with yer Dok out.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

Know what, I'm giving Up From The Ashes a spin for the first time right now, and I'm floored at how good (and consistent) it is. Wow! a superb jewel of melodic metal

FinalBaton the best Dokken album that was never a Dokken album by the best Dokken line up was never a Dokken line up. Sad that these guys never did more together.

I would watch that

Joe Manzella I'd skip ahead to Tommy Lee honking a boat horn with his dick because that shit was too funny.

Looks That Kill is a direct rip off of Breaking the Chains Motley Crue are a club band, who, like GNR and Van Halen, never should've gathered any fame outside of the local LA music scene. Dokken could be a bit corny but Don's voice is fucking incredible, and George Lynch as a guitarist, is only bested by guitarists with jazz and classical backgrounds. (Steve Vai or Randy Rhoads are two good examples.)

Not even CLOSE. And I play

Nah Van Halen is pretty cool. I enjoy both incarnations of the band DVL and Hagar. Motley Crue has two good albums and Dr. Feelgood is listenable. I agree about GNR though.

George is just not a personable guy. He may even be part introvert. Don is the opposite. But yeah, he comes across as a prick as many that have that personality do. I promise you he probably is not, most of the time. Its just the way he is.

bro me too

Add me to that list -- Razor also got me fully invested in black metal.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who occasionally pronounces it like "Dohkken" Instead of "Dawkken" Regardless they're an incredible band and Breaking The Chains never gets old

How old are you? Where have you been? Your parents should be held accountable... Lols! Hails, Razorfist spreading the gospel.

Congratulations 👍

Speaking the truth!

Did people actually wear Autograph T-shirts back then? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂Autograph 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣Autograph 🤣🤣🤣🤣😃🤣🤣🤣just wondering? Girls in fast cars cruising down the boulevard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣!!!!

@@thomascaffrey5572 People even wore ..... Winger shirts back then... lol How embarrassing. 😎

@Dafyd Maddz im American and I appreciate winger for all the reasons u mentioned so...thats kind of a fucked up thing to say...we're not all bad lol...but yes your point i take is the previous commenter is a douche...where he's from though has nothing to do with it lol

Luckily there is still great stuff coming out, especially in the NWOTHM sphere

fuck, and my mom would take mine out to play Milli fucking Vanilli, those lip singing muthaf**KERZ

^ Mom Hall of Fame Nominee ^

@@imanewtype girl you know its true, ooh ooh oooooohhh. THEY SCAMMED YOU

@@ALLMETAL1970 longest 4 hour road trip of my childhood. Eventually, the Sony Walkman saved the day running on just 2 AA batteries. I still have a tape deck though I don't have any of my Dokken cassettes. I do have a few Dokken records on vinyl to play on my 1200's. Glad most of it can be downloaded via iTunes to avoid recording and converting to digital format for listening. : P

@@imanewtype rokken with dokken instead of listening to those 2 is a far better choice.

A bit?

When klaus had vocal polyps removes Don filled in for several months

Don actually helped sing vocals on the Blackout album while Klaus' vocals were healing at one point during its production

@@SeanFlygon Yep.

Also since you mentioned them and since they happen to be another one of my all time favorite bands (whose shirt I am currently wearing), what do you think of Firehouse?

RanterInShades Yes Dokken was indeed great a lot better than given credit for

I 1,000% agree

I love The Hunger from that album.

My thoughts exactly.

Anal inflicted death sentence lol

Hahaha - I was going to comment the same thing.

FarFromEquilibrium Well, that and a Browning Arm 20 gauge

FarFromEquilibrium lol

MrKennyWilliams LOL

FarFromEquilibrium Maybe should you read the book bang your head the rise and fall of heavy metal and you would understand why Don was an ahole to George lynch and the real reason why their and fail apart and I bet you did not know it was don ended the band and he said to George if you are lucky You would be hired in my new band and also said to him you are an ahole I don’t give a fuck what happens to you.

@@metalfansavarani Source that or you're just full of shit. As far as I can see, Lynch is the one with a chip on his shoulder, not Don.

On a side note: Refusing to follow the mindless MTV sheep and instead screaming at the top of my lungs that Nirvana was/is trash. During the 90's, that opinion, got me in many fist fights in highschool. lol

LiquidDIO Chris Cornell was a freaking metal vocalist back in his prime. Listen to 'Louder Than Love' or 'Badmotorfinger' and try to deny that. Same applies to Layne, agreed. 'Facelift' is heavy as hell, love that album. Edit: or the freaking doom-fest demo version of "Beyond the Wheel"! That's so heavy it hurts.

Totally agreed, heck, even Rusty Cage and Outshined could have easily made kickass power metal songs.

The Range Place You can put Chris Cornell in any band and it will sound amazing.

1shoryuken Yep. Forever one of the greatest.

+The Range Place Far Beyond the Wheel contains one of the greatest vocal performances in any rock/metal song. Chris Cornell was an absolute beast in his prime.

Might want to check your facts before posting. George has confirmed the fact that Ozzy dismissed him after just a few days without a second thought.

@@mikal That doesn't contradict me, at all. Just because you play with someone for a few days doesn't mean you became a member.

IF I may interject on this subject.....George Lynch HAD the Ozzy gig after Randy's death....And then came Jake E. Lee. Sharon saw and heard Jake, and wanted Jake because "He HAD the LOOK". Ya gotta rememember in EARLY 82, Lynch still had that shoulder length spiked kinda "punk style" hairdo, and Sharon (OF COURSE) thought Jake would be a better fit for the OZZY band so....? Unfortunately, George Lynch was fired because the "Ozzy camp" discriminated the man because of his friggin hair style......THIS IS what George Lynch told me personally anyways, and many other people at a local guitar clinic years back. Plus, I have read about in fairly well documented stories from ex -Ozzy members memoirs. Typical Sharon Osbourne BS.........

@@jamescon55 Sharon has the final say in everything ozzy, so this is believable. But lucky for George, Jake E. Lee got FUCKED by sharon!

@@jamescon55 She did the same fucking thing to Alex Skolnick as well after Zakk bailed.

"Cry of the Gypsy" solo.. 😨👍

@@Scottocaster6668 Burning like a flame end solo as it fades out...

There are some hidden gems in the 2nd Lynch Mob, like "Dream Until Tomorrow", "Cold is the Heart", "When Darkness Calls", and "The Secret". George's first solo album has a few good ones, like "Flesh and Blood", "Love Power from the Mama Head", and "Tierra Del Fuego".

Cant stand zakk.....
