George Lynch's chord voicing, tone, and seamless, melodic leads are spectacular. Definitely well supported by a top notch rhythm section. Hate for lead singers ran high back then, but Don Dokken was a hell of a good one. A strong finish by him on this track, for sure.
Man, it's 2023 and this song is STILL kicking ass. The guitar riffs, the vocals, the energy, it all just kicks so much ass. I love 80's metal and this song encapsulates everything that made the 80's so damn awesome. How has this video only got 10 million views? It freakin' ROCKS. Thank you Dokken!!!!
Just remember that he didn't like this song (that Don wrote) and only played it correctly when Don threatened to play the guitar himself for the recording
Oh Man ... the memories this brings back. The 80s ... what a decade to be alive in !!! Thankyou George. Thankyou Don. Thankyou DOKKEN for all the good times !!
That stretched arpeggio pull-off is still insane to this day. If you don’t have long fingers it’s almost impossible to pull off no pun intended! What a guitarist!!!
Dokken opening for Ronnie James Dio was my very first concert at The Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Ok. My buddy had scored tickets and it was such and awesome experience, I’ll never forget it. The buddy that scored the ticket passed away Feb. 27 R.I.P. Scott Garza, I’ll never forget you brotha, see you down the road!
Most of it was really cheesy, the Androgynous era and the glam bands aren’t my style. But they played some good tunes so that’s what’s really important.
Happy birthday, mr. Don Dokken, 69 years old already!!! I am here listening one of the most unforgettable songs of this great band. Long live 80s heavy metal
Welcome. Be thrilled you love the music and can find it here on the tube. Me, I had to live it by hitting the record stores several times a week and be blessed with WSOU, the first radio station dedicated to heavy metal music. Starting in 1985, I believe. A lot of effort which was totally worth it. Be thankful you don't have to go through what I did.
Dokken opened for Sammy Hagar In Carbondale, Ill in 1985. What a show! Saw them again in 88 opening for Aerosmith, again an amazing show! They played like they were main attraction. Lynch truly an amazing guitarist. Hell, the entire band was and IS so underrated.
I love how Lynch can shred a solo and actually hit,(pluck) every note on the strings, unlike others who must tap "the neck" to achieve similar effect ; a true wizard on the axe in every respect....
Here in Michigan the winters are long and in the 80's we would go to a concert nearly every weekend. If you didn't go to a concert in the 80's, you will never understand just how loud they were. Or how the bass would smack you in the chest and how your ears would ring for 3 days after. iTunes and earbuds have nothing on living in the 80's. P.S. Dokken opened for Sammy Hagar (I cant drive 55 tour) and it was the first concert I had been to. I still have the ticket stub.
To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
@@pascarirobert8224 that's my quote change a few words and sentences over the last couple of years try to get it all out 80s.Its taken a certain age and time to reflect about u always want more Just Can't Get Enough to Never Too Much
Can't believe u get to a certain age and point in life and time it's flying rapidly fast to the ends of our lives cause that's what's it's doin.Yikes gosh scary omg u would have thought flawless genius special time we were there having fun excitement enjoyment as a kid and 80s so unreal.That it's coming into it's 40s halfway thru all the Songs to Key Largo we had it all to Words don't come easy to Holding Back The Years to Turn Back The Clock to Wonderful Life to Ive Had The Time Of My Life to Waiting For A Star To Fall
Dokken was that band that most every 80s rocker knew, loved yet they NEVER sold multi million selling albums. I thought and listened to them every bit as much as Ratt, Motley Crue, Def Leppard etc, yet for some reason they just never truly became huge.
@@michaelkennedy5126 I do not know where you got your numbers, but I just looked them up and Back for the Attack reached platinum status, but not 3x! Beast from the East was only Gold selling 500,000+ copies. Again nowhere near 3 million.
@@michaelbeck5764 They, as in the band, likely would argue otherwise with you. Still what do you mean? The way you ask that seems to insinuate I was slighting the band. No way, I loved Dokken.
Really, they needed one more great album. The success of "Tooth And Nail" saved them from breaking up the band, and they followed that up with two absolute masterpiece albums in "Under Lock And Key" and "Back For The Attack". "Beast From The East" was released, and, while an excellent live album, struggled to sell because there was only one new track on it, the outstanding "Walk Away". Whether the constant tensions and creative differences between Dokken and Lynch derailed another full studio album and necessitated the release of a live album in order to resolve a contractual obligation, I have no idea - but it was shortly after that release that Dokken announced their split. It remains one of the more poignant memories of my high school years, the day I was walking to school with my best friend and he gave me the news. Like Skid Row, they were a talented group that made truly exceptional music that still holds up four decades later, but finished their runs just shy of true superstardom.
That's what makes this video for me along with Don's interesting wardrobe and choreography. Just like how "Into the Fire", them jumping into the circles, cheesy as hell but shows us why we truly love Dokken.
When I was young, me and my buddies were in the thick of 80s heavy metal. Years later I have come to appreciate that a lot of these dudes were super guitar nerds - and I loved em. One of my junior high buddies learned to play this song on guitar. I've loved this song for 30 years.
im 56 still blast it vol 11 watch the vids.. go to concerts when they come around... have around 3000 CDs ... from our 80s groups... i will die listening to our headbangers bands... i might be the only person in america that has every headbangers ball recorded on the old vhs tapes and the still work...
dude check out- leaps and bounds by Paul Kelly it shows him and his bandmates playing on top of some building in Queensland Australia oh ands a 80s song
This song is so GOOD and so mesmerizing! All the Dokken songs are like that. I wasn't really old enough to fully appreciate their music until my 20s (although I remember hearing them on the radio and MTV of course). There is something very timeless about their music.
Was born in 71 and a teenager in the 80's still love all the metal music from then, there's nothing like it anymore, I haven't brought a record or cd in years, nothing compares to all the music and bands from the 80's, Lynch is freaking awesome........
That solo has it all.. feeling… groove.. technicality.. awesomeness.. note selection is so on point too.. starts of with some harmonic pinches then rips that harmonic minor part. It’s just perfect.
Same. Dokken was the band that got me interested in music at about 13, and "Under Lock And Key" was the first cassette I ever bought ( with my paper route money, lol). My lifelong love of metal was created directly by this band, and the greatest part of that was George Lynch's sound. I can make arguments as to why he probably wasn't the greatest lead guitarist in rock / metal, but he's still my favorite, all these years later. He's one of the few that can be instantly recognized on his sound alone, because nobody has ever really replicated it. He's definitely a unique sort of monster.
I luv the guitar riff when Don starts to sing, and then the guitar solo, omg, that is effing killer!!!!! I've been listening to them, here, in Australia, since the mid, 80's!!!!!
One of the coolest timeless rock music videos ever made! I still remember February 1986 when MTV released this video as a World Premier! still gives me the goosebumps.
Grew up learning guitar in late 80s. Never in my life would I have thought Lynch was not tapping at 2:25.. just ridiculous velocity with the left hand, tasty as all hell
He is tapping, it just makes him look better if he picks it in the video and spoofs everyone. Just like how Angus tapped the Thunderstruck lick but does pull offs in the video.
He's not really tapping, there's a very evident sound of a pick attack on thunderstuck, he's both doing pull offs and picking the notes. He does the pull offs on concerts for show@@mattlewis9364
Now at 61, this former guitar player is still Cranking Out The Best Underrated Band there was in the early 80's!!! Still Love Don, George, Today The Same! NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER Eddie or George or Randy!!
Liked for my buddy David Lee Hunter Junior who died from cancer about 6 years ago. He was a huge Dokken fan. R.I.P. Davey. You are not forgotten old friend. Not even for one day brother.
Love George! I just wish he could get over the fact that the band is Dokken... He always takes shots at Don in interviews. Don always praises Lynch in response. That says a lot about Don.
I'm 57 ans still rocking to the Dokken! Thank you Don, Jeff, George and wild Mick!!

I immediately can tell when he is playing, such a unique sound and style.
him and Warren are probably top 2 in hair metal guitarists honestly
Exactly, Like How Can He Get His Fingers To Stretch Like That?
I think that he was hanging out with Eddie.
Dokken opening for Ronnie James Dio was my very first concert at The Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Ok. My buddy had scored tickets and it was such and awesome experience, I’ll never forget it.

Was born in 71 and a teenager in the 80's still love all the metal music from then, there's nothing like it anymore, I haven't brought a record or cd in years, nothing compares to all the music and bands from the 80's, Lynch is freaking awesome........
@Mike Owczarzak and a lot of that self production keeps the prices down too.
Rockin' with Dokken as always to one of my favorite bands ever!
Mine to
Strap the fuck in because we're rocking some Dokken. !!!!!!
God Fucking Speed
.i think, Queensryche Jeff Tate & Chris Degarmo, was better at the time, but Dokken is still a great 2nd?

That solo has it all.. feeling… groove.. technicality.. awesomeness..
note selection is so on point too.. starts of with some harmonic pinches then rips that harmonic minor part. It’s just perfect.
back then when there was much talent, The solo guitars were awesome.
We need more music like this, 80s rocks!!!
A Dokken cassette tape was the very 1st cassette I ever bought with my own money. I was 10yrs old... Gawd I love this band!
Me too plus Eddie money no control
Same. Dokken was the band that got me interested in music at about 13, and "Under Lock And Key" was the first cassette I ever bought ( with my paper route money, lol). My lifelong love of metal was created directly by this band, and the greatest part of that was George Lynch's sound. I can make arguments as to why he probably wasn't the greatest lead guitarist in rock / metal, but he's still my favorite, all these years later. He's one of the few that can be instantly recognized on his sound alone, because nobody has ever really replicated it. He's definitely a unique sort of monster.
Still here at 54 in August 2024. George Lynch's awesome guitar riffs give me goose bumps. These guys kicked ass back in the day and always will! ❤
I luv the guitar riff when Don starts to sing, and then the guitar solo, omg, that is effing killer!!!!! I've been listening to them, here, in Australia, since the mid, 80's!!!!!
One of the coolest timeless rock music videos ever made! I still remember February 1986 when MTV released this video as a World Premier! still gives me the goosebumps.
Fabulous. Don Dokken, pure gold ❤️
What can I say lots of love ❤🔥🔥🔥😙😙 in my dreams

That opening riff has crushed armies! So fkn sick..
Grew up learning guitar in late 80s. Never in my life would I have thought Lynch was not tapping at 2:25.. just ridiculous velocity with the left hand, tasty as all hell
Coke is a hell of a drug... He always had a guitar in his hand...;-) It would
He is tapping, it just makes him look better if he picks it in the video and spoofs everyone. Just like how Angus tapped the Thunderstruck lick but does pull offs in the video.
He's not really tapping, there's a very evident sound of a pick attack on thunderstuck, he's both doing pull offs and picking the notes. He does the pull offs on concerts for show@@mattlewis9364
2:39 gives me goose bumps every time. Sonic perfection and I love the rain effect on the drums.
Heard this in my truck today...my whole neighborhood got to enjoy it!❤😂
Pump Up The Volume Almost Christmas Cuz
im 15 and this is a bangerrrr! rock on Dokken!
I love Dokken. My top 3 all time 80's hair metal bands.
Melody, rhythm, speed and feel. The things that make a guitar solo amazing. The way george did it, made a solo perfect.
Rockin with Dokken...class of 83...I was there through the eighties...hair,make up, Spandex.. the best rock music that ever was recorded...
Class of 83' .. chicks are easy and weed is free..
Now at 61, this former guitar player is still Cranking Out The Best Underrated Band there was in the early 80's!!! Still Love Don, George, Today The Same! NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER Eddie or George or Randy!!
I will never get tired of this. The solo is un-fucking-believable!! Lynch is an allien
One of Lynch's finest 🎸 👏
Lotta Eddie Van Halen influence!
@@TateNations Lynch has his own style. There were a lot of EVH copycats in the 80's, but not George Lynch
@@gfgranja That solo has a lot of elements of the Jump solo.
Still one of the greatest rock guitar riffs ever... This one and ITS NOT LOVE... straight bangers!!!
If that isnt one of the most majestic chorus in rock....im sure another dokken chorus is!
What about animal by Def Leppard? :/
One of the BEST solos EVER!
Pure, absolute, timeless awesomeness!!!!
Liked for my buddy David Lee Hunter Junior who died from cancer about 6 years ago.
He was a huge Dokken fan.
R.I.P. Davey.
You are not forgotten old friend.
Not even for one day brother.
Michael Krans // MY CONDOLENCES// GOD BLESS HIM
47 now and will never get out of the 80s and 90s music. I will 80 and will have an iPad hooked up to my huverround!!
Nice
80s type music is coming back like synth pop
iPad? lol
Man, I loved this band in HS. Not many others did. 56 now, sheesh! Time flies people.
Awesome guitar play by Lynch
SPELLING..AARON?
George lynch one of the best, too bad he wasn't in a cool band or he would have been the most popular
@John Mazzuca Its "they're" you fucking fuckboy
Pioneer for sure.
@@VETTEDZ06 lmao.
At 55 still cranking it out this Era will never be gone for me great times.
Turnin 50 in about a week . I agree 100% with your statement !
I love Dokken!!! They put alot of feeling and emotion in each song!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love George! I just wish he could get over the fact that the band is Dokken... He always takes shots at Don in interviews. Don always praises Lynch in response. That says a lot about Don.
