The Dokken Appreciation thread.

Ebony~Veiled · May 9th, 2007, 05:32 AM

This is officially my attempt to redeem myself for choosing Testament over Judas Priest. Shane actually sent me an sms at 3 am telling me off hahaha

Hopefully, this thread will make the "Steamroller" happy. Besides, I reckon these guys are awesome and deserve their own thread..

Ebony~Veiled · May 9th, 2007, 05:35 AM

ps. I was picking a few CDs for Shane from JB Hi Fi once, he had asked me to buy him a Dokken CD and I didn.t buy "Under Lock and Key" on purpose because the cover is, well, CHEESE EXTREMO!!! He later bought it, and it KICKS ASS!!

The Apparition · May 9th, 2007, 05:35 AM

The Steamroller appreciates! And you have redeemed yourself Ebony Veiled.
(Rips up divorce papers)
Seriously how good are Dokken. Every single song off Under Lock and Key, Tooth and Nail and Back for the Attack is gold! Most of Breaking the Chains rocks too.
It's very close between BFTA and ULAK as my fav album.

NP: Dokken - In My Dreams

petrucci_dude · May 9th, 2007, 08:37 AM

I don't really like 'em. lol

This is a prog bands forum though so I'm allowed to not like the popular 80's bands.

MetalAges · May 9th, 2007, 11:23 AM

Dokken - one of my all time favs! Amazing band, great writing, George Lynch is my fav guitarist ever. I agree that Tooth and Nail, Under Lock and Key and Back for the Attack were all superb!

I really liked Dysfunctional as well actually.

I made the mistake of wearing my Rokken with Dokken shirt to a football game one time so it got ripped to shreds! I do however still have my 1986 Under Lock and Key tour program....\m/

You'd have to appreciate George Lynch's guitar playing though surely??

whoneedstherapy · May 9th, 2007, 09:17 PM

kiss of death is one of the most frequently played tracks for me

I think he is a great melodic player who interweaves all his shredding in very tastefully. I think he is amazing.

Taliwakker · May 10th, 2007, 12:01 AM

Lynch Mobs debut is better than any Dokken.

petrucci_dude · May 10th, 2007, 06:17 AM

Yeah he's a great player, but I just have never gotten into Dokken. Got a couple of albums on my comp that a mate gave me, they're not bad, but I don't really like them. Like I don't willingly put them on lol.

I knew you would say this.

petrucci_dude · May 10th, 2007, 11:09 PM

Yeah, I have a habit of expressing what I think of a band even though generally I say it in the wrong place, like appreciation threads, lol.

Ok Scott! Do you like any 80's bands at all? Just for future reference we can just assume you hate any 80's bands we mention.

lol, I like heaps of them man. But now that I think about it, I don't like many of the big influential ones at all. Dunno why.

I'm here in support of TM though so I hope it's not a problem me disliking many of the bands you all love so much :P

I shall try and keep my mouth closed about what bands I dislike from now on, unless asked. LOL, I know where it used to get me on the LORD forum.

I don't think you've offended anyone man! Especially not me. It all makes for some discussion so it's all cool Scott. We appreciate your support mate.

whoneedstherapy · May 11th, 2007, 02:25 AM

I'm sure he'll still wrestle with you when drunk..

Ebony~Veiled · May 11th, 2007, 03:31 AM

np: Dokken - It.s Not Love

Haha, cheers bro!

I couldn't make it to Evergrey tonight either.

I had to teach until 7.30pm then Mum's like "nah, we have an open house day tomorrow so you're helping me clean the house" (selling our house atm) and I was invited to a mate's birthday drinkup and I had to turn that down aswell. I feel like the biggest dog to everyone! Even myself for missing Evergrey!!

He got rated as a 9 out of 10 on the attractiveness scale by another dude who was pretty reluctant to vote for him. When I tried to ask why the failed to get the extra point, he wouldn't tell me.
