An exclusive series of Living Legends Music interviews with Don Dokken. Part 5 of 5. Recorded on July 21st, 2008 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa, FL. - เพลง
"No, you don't play solos, because you can't" Finally someone said it!
Ha!...Right on
Thats Awesome!! Don you man for saying that so true!! As much as like several metal bands of the 90s, their gutarists couldnt play any lead. Even the bad bad hair bands of the 80s had a great guitarist, not to mention the great hair bands.
Bullshit not true at all are you deaf?
"No. You don't do solos, because you can't." Another great Don Dokken quote.
Fkin A
No no no no....
He was right, and yes great quote.
@@DanielCastillo-cn3pp yes
My 2 year old daughter listens to “alone again” with me in the car. She loves that song! She’s like “alone again without youuuuu” it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard. ❤️
He has a humble and good personality. He seems happy just to still be able to make a good living doing what he loves.
he still sounds good so dos his son still pusing in the 80s to now still sounds like 80s
Thanks for the great music Don. My 7 year old son loves "Dream Warriors". Your music has transcended time.
Good for your son , he's developing good taste in music at an early age.
What a great sense of humor I could listen to him all day long what a great guy God bless him and his family
that was a killer interview, thanks a lot, i still think dokken is one of the best ever
THE HUNTER ROCKS!
Thanks Don!!!!
Loved Dokken. Still do
Dokken has been my favorite band. Great rock and roll
Great interview: open, honest, humble and very sympathetic. I've been a fan of Don Dokken for a long time. Wishing Don a happy future!
I have to say, it's nice to see a guy who says "i never did drugs, I just didn't get it". I thank the lord daily that I never fell into that path either because back then, access was easy to come by.
Dawn S. I was super Impressed with that too. Don thought just like me on that . I just never got it.
h
WRONG>...he was completely and utterly hooked on oxycontin and all that for many many yrs. go to dean delray podcast with Don. he says it with his own mouth. never tried coke, but was a total pill junkie. in other words heroin opiate addict. did rehab and all that eventually.
karey lester. He said drugs in the 80s.
But he fucked over his bandmates
Next to VH, in the early 80s Dokken were by far the best song writers in the genre. I'm not including Queensryche, they were in a differen category.
Nice interview. I always liked Dokken. Discovered them by accident, because in Canada none of my friends listened to them. I took a chance and bought some of their tapes and loved them! Great to see Don still rokken!
God bless Don Dokken.
Dokken was always one of my favorite bands, it good to see they're still kicking and Rocking.
Not only does Dokken music stand the test of time The new album from the End Machine Makes me love music again
What a great and down to earth interview. Best of luck Don!
Im 13 almost 14 im going to start a band because im a guitarist and i think we need to bring the rock back PS love you DON DOKKEN
U F O/Schenker/Can You Roll Her
That's cool as hell kid. Don't give up on it. Even when you've got no one to play with, keep writing songs and keep strumming away. No matter what. If you want to play music then do it because every other job will seem like shit and you'll wish you were playing music instead.
Kudos to Don Dokken's daughter for scrapping the acute banality of N'sync and opting instead for the power and mystery of Tool. Good choice.
It's a pleasure to see our friend Don still doing what he loves for a living. Interesting stories, and nice interview. Thanks for posting!
OMG I LUV DON HES SO FUNNY im 12 and my parents are 63 and 51 hes not too old AND I NEVER WANT IT TO BE THE END
I still listen to Beast From The East, as if it came out last week
Jack Vai Back for the Attack
Unleashed In The East/Judas Priest
One of the greatest live albums ever!!! For years I have been wanting it to be remastered and put out as a 2CD release because the single CD is missing some songs that were on the cassette tape. Luckily last year I found out that it has been remastered and released as a 2CD version from a label called Rock Candy and I ordered it immediately. It sounds phenomenal and it is finally the full concert. I also ended up buying the first four studio albums because they have also been remastered by Rock Candy and they also sound better than ever.
I have it on cassette. Up there with LOVE AFTER DEATH and TOKYO TAPES. Outstanding live recording, love Dokken. They dont get the love of SCORPIONS and MAIDEN, but they are special all the same.
Thanks for posting this video...
This interview almost brought tears to my eyes. I'm always defending the new generation who are into stuff we grew up on against those of us who call the new generation posers. Such good music would be forgotten if it wasn't for the next generation.
What a nice comment - I hated for the interview to end! He's totally cool . . great new CD as well . . .
Cheers!
Greg
Scary thought...Don's 55 in this interview in 2008, means he's 65 in 2018.
Where the hell does the time go?
Time waits for no man my friend!
toddvandell85 yees...gooes like the wind our lifes
Exactly. But I did love hearing about the debauchery is gone and we're all cooking burgers arguing who's sauce is best back stage.
I've been on the ground groping for keys too. I don't miss those days. ;)
2021 he's 67?
Thanks for this. Excellent.
Not only does Dokken music stand the test of time The new album from the End Machine Makes me love music again ❤️
Glad Don has gotten humble and introspective. He seems like a good dude now.
Have viewed all 5 parts of interview - very interesting and enjoyable.
Not only a great artist, but a genuine down to earth chap
I just watched all five clips straight. Very Cool Series! It was nice to see the man behind Dokken that band in the 80's that had its albums in rotation on me and my brothers' stereo when I was a kid. Thank you for posting.
Wow !! A new found respect for Don. Very cool interviews!!
Don dokken good music does not dies your music will never die I hope you can read this message
DOn, a very talented man , too bad these kind of bands can't last for ever!
Great interview....just watched all 5 parts,i've been a massive fan from 1983...still am.I remember seeing Dokken opening for Accept in Belfast around 85/86,what a gig that was.Don Dokken=Legend.
What a great interview...
I am 61. I rocked thru the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000 u get it. My youngest son is 18. He comes to me with music and like he discovered something asks me if I ever heard of Dokken. LOL! He says the music now sucks so bad dad. You were so lucky! I said, no son, we are lucky. Good music lives forever.
Yes!! Rock on Don! Cool as Hell. One of the best in the 80s. Great guy today. I had no clue....You Tube does it again.....Thanx
Great interview !
thanks for posting these clips. Enjoyed the interviews. Don is pretty funny.
His son: You ever heard of Led Zeppelin, dad?
Don: It rings a bell.
🤣🤣🤣
Best part of the interview.
The only thing I have to say is that I LOVE DOKKEN ! enough said!
Great interview! I just watched all 5 parts. Don Dokken is an interesting dude. Can't believe he's already 55.
Dokken a big favorite of mine just so many songs with all the probs all was great in the band now are legendary
One of my favourite band's of all time as a kid and they still kick ass
Beautiful man in every way
Dokken you are truly rocking roll master . Im an old fan vintage 66 . Human I can play all your music been rockin out since 70
It is so hard to believe so much time has gone by...seems like just yesterday we were hanging out at the golf course singing along with these bands :)
He's so cool!
:]
I love that story about the kid's and their folks at his concert's!
He is right! That wonderful 80's rock is coming on back :D
Don is very candid and funny. Great interview..
what a legend, an absolutely amazing individual in all aspects.
Such an underrated performer. Love his music.
it never ends as long as we say so.period.he will live forever in ROCK HISTORY.music has always changed,but not forgotten.i got the priveledge to see him and dokken at twin river casino,few years back,smoking took some voice away,but who am I to complain to see history and a LEGEND.peace
listening to Dokken on Tape brings back memories... Cassettes being big in the early 80's then CDs killed it just like that.... Dokken along with Tesla are great 80s bands.... Don and crew inspired people whether he believes it or not....
I love this guy so much
Very interesting set of interviews. I'm class of 86, bought all of Dokken's cassette's (remember those) now he talks about how things have changed, I can certainly relate. but its all good
Good!!!! Interview 🎶🎶🎶🎶🚩
Awsom story keep rockin!!!
Very cool and sincere interview! Don is a cool guy forsure glad the best music is still being discovered. Those days produced some great talent that is still being discovered by our youth thanks to guitar hero and the fact that great music never dies!!
Great attitude. Keep rockin'.
incredible don inspirational thankx
Dokken are legendary!
Wow, what a great interview with Don Dokken. He always seemed to be a nice guy even in the early days and fairly straight. He'll be 62 this year. But I never dreamed he suffered so much in his early life. I'm happy for him that his talent awarded him the success he deserved. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn't have said it better!!
fuck anymore of these great interviews with don dokken i can listen to him all day ,such an interesting & very smart individual ...well spoken & so down to earth,his story telling are so fascinating & precise he remembers events ,people & names & emotions he was going through,thats why he is hard to work with sometimes cause he's an absolute genius...he's a METAL living LEGEND nuff said.....
Good way of breaking down the cycle:) Hailz to the mighty DON!!! DOKKEN IS ROCKIN!!!
My kid is 6. He loves Dokken. Hes big on "Just got Lucky" & " Into the fire" its 2020, and theres a growing number of youths now discovering classic bands like Dokken, Zeppelin and Sabbath. Better late than never. Some of us like me- lived through that era and had a time of our lives
Yeah me too. I saw lots of them in the Metal Edge Magazine, and that's when I decided to just check them out. Still love them too.
Don is the Bomb! Great Guy
Dokken is still my all time favorite band.. Don is my vocal idol!! My kids love Dokken too! Their favorite song is Breaking the Chains, hehe. Its really cool to hear them sing something that I have loved so much through my lifetime. My mom loves it too, she once went to a concert and was sooo happy Don spit water on her.. Something we still tease her about. Lol!
Thanks for posting all 5 segments. Very interesting to hear a real interview, instead of a canned promotional interview.
thanks don ,,,,
Amen ! Dokken is a real band!
great to hear Don i love those songs pretty and musical
Good man
Great Guy.great singer .thanks Dokken
great interview...I'm 58 and he is telling it like it is.....
don is still as cool as he was in the 80's love you don !!!!!!!!!!!!
me too, im 15 and i love Dokken grown up with Dokken
I played a show with Don last summer at Dakota Rock Fest. He does play arenas and large festivals. You know not of what you speak. I have photos with him and he is a great guy as long as I have known him. We first met in 1991 back in Redondo and I really am a nobody. Thanks Don for the great interview. I could listen for hours.
You'll notice my name is kprokken. This is because when I first met him he autographed something for me with Keep Rockin' w/ Don Dokken.
Don Dokken is a real musician
💜💜💜💜💜
広島でのリユニオンライブが懐かしく思い出されます。アコースティックギターソロライブでいいですから、又広島に来て頂きたい。とにかく、お声が聴きたい。
Yeah....probably one of the best gigs I ever went to...Dokken had just released Under Lock And Key.....Accept had Russian Roulette out...great times...I feel old now ,LOL.
DOKKEN IS AND ALLWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST METAL BAND EVER 80'S METAL RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PARTY ON DUDES!!!!!!!!!!! i am 53 and still ROCKEN WITH DOKKEN !!!!!!!!!!!! i have all there casettes and cd's and play them all the time
so true if you lived then it was that way .,,,,,I'm 61 wish the music was back like then ...
I only stumbled across Dokken (the band) on the iHeart Radio app on my phone a few months back in early 2019 when I was listening to Krokus, so I was instantly hooked. I really love the musical arrangements, from the song writing, instruments and vocals ... just absolutely top class. I never got into the US 'hair band' thing back in the 80s, because I never had access to music shops or radio that played that style, plus I had other interests those days here in Australia. In 1988 a ham radio friend in Russia posted me a Black Coffee album. When I heard Dokken for the first time a few months ago, I immediately thought that Dokken (and maybe George Lynch in particular) was a big influence on Dimitri Varshavsky from Black Coffee ... just a wild guess, so who knows. I like both bands.
"I am So Glad Don Never did Drugs"!
Forever 💕 Dokken
Stay Safe ❤️❤️❤️
Keep Well,
Everyone!Re
Don Dokken can play solos! You have to quit listening to main stream Dokken and listen to Dokken when he played guitar with Lynch you’d be surprised
awesome
what a cool guy. :)
❤️💜💜💜💜
lots of rock n roll wisdom
I have been a huge massive fan of Dokken for over thirty years, but in the last five years I have become a bigger fan than ever before. For the longest time I only had the first four studio albums and all their live albums. Since five years ago I have since gotten all their studio albums that came out after Back For The Attack and I love them big time also. Dysfunctional, Erase The Slate, Broken Bones, and Lightning Strikes Again are my favorites from all the albums that came out after Back For The Attack. In the 80's two of my favorite bands were Dokken and Ratt, and for the longest time I loved Ratt more than Dokken. I still love Ratt alot, but in the past five years I have grown to love Dokken way more. I would love to see them live one more time and one more studio album. I know that Don is up there in age , so Dokken has very little time left as an active band and it would be great to see them one more time.
I just came across the first one and then watched all 5 too. Looks good for 55 though.
David lee Roth is one of a kind . Awsome human . Nice talk .
Not only does Dokken music stand the test of time The new album from the End Machine Mason you love music again
Don, you da Man, Come visit St Augustine new Arena
We still rock down here
I'm more than certain I'm the 8 y/o he's talking about. Annie's concert venue off Kellogg Avenue south-east of Cincinnati. Pulled me on stage to finish singing Paris is Burning, fucking amazing I'm glad he somewhat remembers this, that's awesome lol
YAASSSSS RUSH
