There IS hope for the future. Thanks for the Dokken respect. Makes a 47-year-old metalhead smile. Consider yourself saluted. You're not "about to rock," you just rocked.
yes, they did a good job of covering the song, but I think this one sounds better (especially since it's live) th-cam.com/video/7LtG6qqlGOo/w-d-xo.html
Wow! Just catching this one in March of 2023 - after one he11 of a few years. Man... this is so good!! I mean.... so good!. Gives me hope that some of these young Cats know how to rock! And they're keeping it alive. The guitar playing and vocals in this are absolutely SIKKK! Spot on. But just sikk. You did this justice - and then some! Rock on!
Best recipe for rock… killer vocals, guitar along with a great chorus!!! The 90s forgot this… dude’s in the 80s had talent !!! Knew how to play and sing
Hands down these two are not only incredible musicians they are incredible people. This video changed my life. It made me pick up my guitars again after a very long time of not playing at all. Comming across this video changed my life. What an absolute blessing. Followed these guys for years. And currently Valentino is my instructor. What a blessing. .. these two are awesome..
OUTSTANDING!!! It's sad that Don can no longer cover his own vocals...but you sure could step in his place and fill the gap! And that guitar...like listening to Lynch!
Great Job although i have to say that NOBODY will ever do this as good as Don Dokken. Don's vocals through the 80's was UNTOUCHED to me by anyone, i loved the way his voice sounded & you did an extremely good job on this tune.
Untouched...except by processors, compressors, aural exciters, and other recording booth trickery...but yeah, other than THAT, his vocals were untouched. LMAO! Just give this dude the credit he so rightfully deserves. He CRUSHED it.
I scrutinize the HELL out of covers of bands I LOVE and grew up on- you guys NAILED IT! GORGEOUS- truly! Most impressed- amazing all musicians… and the vocalist reminds me of the lead singer from Hardline. Meant as a true compliment! Bravo guys!
You guys keep your eyes out for the new KXM album, I've not even heard solos but songs are amazing!!! Funk, metal, rock, blues blended into great songs
I’ve got tears bros, just let us know when your tour’n. we’ll all be there with our beers and lighters held high… bravo. Finally someone doing Dokken justice. 🤟
Again an incredible performance of both, singer and guitar Player. Absolutely perfect! And that detailed copy of GEORGE LYNCH's guitar solo - unbelievable!
Dokken's music from this time period had a sense of danger and you guys captured it, nailed it rather! Lynch is one of my all-time favourite guitarists and Pilson in my opinion, is one of the most underrated bassists, along with Dug Pinnick.
Great vocal !Only Don Dokken perfectly fits this song due to his unique nasal sound and mixed soft and husky voice. Nontheless, I heard his perfect sound only in the studio version not in live version.
Without question the best cover of this on the interwebs... You really nailed his tone and playing. Lynch himself couldn't play that so close to the album. 🤘🏻
Ooh, that high note at 3:42, Valentino, that was just the most killer of the whole song, but you hit every note! Rocco, how can I say how tight your playing is? George would literally not be able to tell the difference and then Valentino drops in for a cameo solo! I am very happy, great cover you guys.
Nooooo! Rocco! What's up!? LOL! Hey man, I LOVE THIS COVER, your playing and the singer kick ass!! The solo was masterful and all Lynch-esque! Great video and props!
That was frikkin phenomenal! I could close my eyes and swear I was listening to the original album! Vocals were absolutely perfect, as if Don himself were singing. Same with guitar, perfect channeling of George. 🤘💀🤘
Im absolutely blown away guys. I could go on and on for days about the how amazing you guys are. God gave yall the gift fellas, and yall use it so well.
/smh/ .... Rocco: blown away by your tone and technique ... you pay such respect to George and yet add your own nuances, much respect to you ... Valentino: superb, simply superb - your control is precise, breathing is perfect and you just killed it .... both of you, well done. Just discovered you today thx to Jay Parmar's page.
+Derryl Gabel, You should play these songs with your style of legato with your own ideas. I would love seeing your style injected into eighties music. Music then was awesome!
Derryl Gabel hey Derryl! I love your playing on that song! That was one of the best albums of all time some awesome music with guest singers and guest players I will remember is an absolute classic, I remember what George Lynch said about you, you are an incredible guitar player but a shity driver LOL
Love this! Your command, and energy are what bring it life. Love the Lynch-style the horizontal vibrato! Singer is spot on as well. I played this over and over back in the day.
Nem me lembro se já comentei neste vídeo, mas escuto direto e vocês diabolizaram o bagulho, caralho, eu cago a calça cada vez que ouço esta versão. Velho, vcs são muito fodas.
I just don't see how this could be topped, it just doesn't get ANY better than what I just saw. I'm blown away, and now off to watch the rest of your videos man!
I think Don should've sang like this guy instead of doing those screams he always did. He might still have a voice. This was fucking awesome. I mean, there's no denying Don's talent to be able to go that high, but in the long run showing off isn't worth killing your voice. Just because you *can* do it doesn't always mean you should.
I'm a happy 60-year-old. It's awesome to see some young hands covering some damn good music and doing it well.
There IS hope for the future. Thanks for the Dokken respect. Makes a 47-year-old metalhead smile. Consider yourself saluted. You're not "about to rock," you just rocked.
Ya reckon all these year's since they split in 88 all those hair bands are washed up Dokken would endure to stand the test of time
This version never gets old. I have been listening to it for years. The second solo is amazing. I love the small tweaks to the original.
You Guys KILLED IT !!!!!
THAT THEY DID! wowowowowowowowowowow! lol
Best Dokken cover I've heard. A+. Trust me, I've heard 1,000's
No need to trust you - I've heard'em all - and These guys here killed the shit BIG TIME❗😜
🤘AWESOME🤘
so good hey
Agreed. Just awesome
yes, they did a good job of covering the song, but I think this one sounds better (especially since it's live) th-cam.com/video/7LtG6qqlGOo/w-d-xo.html
Srdjan Teofilovic
IMHO........……………………………

Absolutely RIGHT ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
Dude, don't worry... it's coming back.

There's a genre called NWOTHM - New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal. Check out Riot City, High Spirits, Enforcer, Traveler, Skull Fist, Stallion etc
This is the closest of perfect that it can get
thanks William!
Definitely!!
Wow! Just catching this one in March of 2023 - after one he11 of a few years. Man... this is so good!! I mean.... so good!. Gives me hope that some of these young Cats know how to rock! And they're keeping it alive. The guitar playing and vocals in this are absolutely SIKKK! Spot on. But just sikk. You did this justice - and then some! Rock on!

Yes best ever!!!!!!!!
Love this. An improvement over the original. The guitars hit harder, and the vocals are more dynamic. You are so frickin’ talented.
Wow, I'm having a hard time believing this isn't Dokken it's so perfect. Not to mention the mix itself is also unbelievable!
Best recipe for rock… killer vocals, guitar along with a great chorus!!! The 90s forgot this… dude’s in the 80s had talent !!! Knew how to play and sing
i've been playing it over again. still hits me through the bones.
😢..... at 55 years old? THIS? THIS is a beautiful thing to hear and see ❤.... unbelievably well done!!!! 🙏
Hands down these two are not only incredible musicians they are incredible people. This video changed my life. It made me pick up my guitars again after a very long time of not playing at all. Comming across this video changed my life. What an absolute blessing. Followed these guys for years. And currently Valentino is my instructor. What a blessing. .. these two are awesome..
I think it's the same guy doing it all! Amazing!
Finally someone attempting to sing rock who sounds rock. That guitar is kick ass as well. Sign me up.
OUTSTANDING!!!
It's sad that Don can no longer cover his own vocals...but you sure could step in his place and fill the gap! And that guitar...like listening to Lynch!
Mike Bennett spot on
Man this good! Rockin’ with DOKKEN!! 🤘
Great Job although i have to say that NOBODY will ever do this as good as Don Dokken. Don's vocals through the 80's was UNTOUCHED to me by anyone, i loved the way his voice sounded & you did an extremely good job on this tune.
Untouched...except by processors, compressors, aural exciters, and other recording booth trickery...but yeah, other than THAT, his vocals were untouched. LMAO!
Just give this dude the credit he so rightfully deserves. He CRUSHED it.
Listen the demo with Jeff Pilson, it’s better than Don Dokken
At first thought it was going to be a boring acoustic cover. But then.. The Voice. WOW. the Rythm WOOW. AWESOME. Thanks for sharing.
I scrutinize the HELL out of covers of bands I LOVE and grew up on- you guys NAILED IT! GORGEOUS- truly! Most impressed- amazing all musicians… and the vocalist reminds me of the lead singer from Hardline. Meant as a true compliment! Bravo guys!
That means a lot, thanks Mark!
i dont know who you are but this is one one hell of of video i have not seen a better rendition and im a dokken / george lynch fan of 35 years .
Awesome work on the solo! One of the 1980's most epic solos and you nailed it! Awesome vocals too! Keep rockin'!
Mr Scary lynching vicious guitars and fucking amazing vocals. Your guys are absolutely amazing.
The next time I'm with George I'm going to show him this video, AMAZING job fellas , I really loved the acoustic jam
You guys keep your eyes out for the new KXM album, I've not even heard solos but songs are amazing!!! Funk, metal, rock, blues blended into great songs
Oh Man! the TONE, the PLAYING, the SINGING, the PRODUCTION>>> WOW LOVE your work.
KEEPING 80'S METAL ALIVE!!
I’ve got tears bros, just let us know when your tour’n. we’ll all be there with our beers and lighters held high… bravo. Finally someone doing Dokken justice. 🤟

Wow, a worthy Dokken cover! Gave me goosebumps!!!

First time seeing this and the dude WENT OFF on the solo! Actually, all of this was awesome. Vocals were frickin on point too.
fantastic. rock n roll metal will never die. long live DOKKEN.
Wow! You're better than the originals at this point!
Nailed it…. Love it!!!
This cover made my day ! that intro was perfect!
Dokken's music from this time period had a sense of danger and you guys captured it, nailed it rather! Lynch is one of my all-time favourite guitarists and Pilson in my opinion, is one of the most underrated bassists, along with Dug Pinnick.
I keep watching this. It's so epic, and the Magnum P.I. shirt seals the deal!
Bro this is the best cover of this song I've ever seen.
It's just like the record!
well, that was about badass
...your legs shaking to the rythem (along with your command of the guitar) and his Gold's tank, (and spot on vocals) welllll.... good night.
😘
I've seen Dokken live once....always wanted to see them again. They were good, this is probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard.

I truly am in awe. Just found ya and now I will be rocking this forever........................................
Way to rock, guys! This made me so happy to hear!

Fantastic playing! You have Lynch's tone, vibrato etc exactly right! As someone else mentioned 'definitely best Dokken cover going around!
Non posso credere alle mie orecchie... Cover pazzesca!!!
Great vocal !Only Don Dokken perfectly fits this song due to his unique nasal sound and mixed soft and husky voice. Nontheless, I heard his perfect sound only in the studio version not in live version.

I have never heard a better cover of this song.....outstanding job, 10 out of 10! 🤘

Wow. Just Wow. That was absolutely fantastic. One of the best covers I've ever heard. Great singing and the guitar tone is amazing. Just wow.
Ooh, that high note at 3:42, Valentino, that was just the most killer of the whole song, but you hit every note! Rocco, how can I say how tight your playing is? George would literally not be able to tell the difference and then Valentino drops in for a cameo solo! I am very happy, great cover you guys.
Nooooo! Rocco! What's up!? LOL! Hey man, I LOVE THIS COVER, your playing and the singer kick ass!! The solo was masterful and all Lynch-esque! Great video and props!

It is a great cover but without the original there would never be a cover so is it really better?
It's amazing but not better.
Robert, please calm yourself.
Great cover chaps but what a ridiculous comment.
Nobody..... will ever top this cover of DoKKen.....
Extremely impressed! WOW!
I'd love to see these guys tour in Dallas TX!!!!!!
Pezzin! You guys have nailed Lynch and Dokken again! You should give Night by Night a go.
That was frikkin phenomenal! I could close my eyes and swear I was listening to the original album! Vocals were absolutely perfect, as if Don himself were singing. Same with guitar, perfect channeling of George. 🤘💀🤘
I know I'm late but this was a killer cover! Brought me back to my 80's!

Stellar cover

/smh/ .... Rocco: blown away by your tone and technique ... you pay such respect to George and yet add your own nuances, much respect to you ... Valentino: superb, simply superb - your control is precise, breathing is perfect and you just killed it .... both of you, well done. Just discovered you today thx to Jay Parmar's page.
Wow, you guys knocked it out the park!!! You think you might ever do Tierra Del Fuego? I was the guest soloist on that tune.
+Derryl Gabel,
You should play these songs with your style of legato with your own ideas. I would love seeing your style injected into eighties music.
Music then was awesome!
Derryl Gabel hey Derryl! I love your playing on that song! That was one of the best albums of all time some awesome music with guest singers and guest players I will remember is an absolute classic, I remember what George Lynch said about you, you are an incredible guitar player but a shity driver LOL
Tierra Del Fuego awsome piece of art
You're the guy? Great album, except for Mandy Lions vocals.
Lol! And I run across you here on TH-cam. I killed my Facebook. Good to see ya going. Keep the emails coming brotha.
Love this! Your command, and energy are what bring it life. Love the Lynch-style the horizontal vibrato! Singer is spot on as well. I played this over and over back in the day.
BADASS! Amazing guitar playing AND awesome vocals. Thank you, you just made my day. 😀
OH HELL YEAH!! Great tribute.
Nem me lembro se já comentei neste vídeo, mas escuto direto e vocês diabolizaram o bagulho, caralho, eu cago a calça cada vez que ouço esta versão. Velho, vcs são muito fodas.
God damn that was great!
wow, perfect! great solo!
I just don't see how this could be topped, it just doesn't get ANY better than what I just saw. I'm blown away, and now off to watch the rest of your videos man!
Holy shit. Incredible
Awesome cover , Back to the Golden Years , My lovely adolescence!!
F***ing killer stuff !!!
F'ing bad ass! F**k I'm back in 1987! Thanks guys!

I’m blown away guy’s!!!! Best cover of this tune I’ve seen yet!
New Sub Bro..Just found your channel..its kicks ass..
KEEP ROCKIN..80s Rocks
One word. MAGNIFICENT! You actually made it better. Well done! My compliments.
there is no high pitch scream at the end of the solo ; but hey, guess what, that's why this one is way way more metal!
I think Don should've sang like this guy instead of doing those screams he always did. He might still have a voice. This was fucking awesome. I mean, there's no denying Don's talent to be able to go that high, but in the long run showing off isn't worth killing your voice. Just because you *can* do it doesn't always mean you should.
I always loved this song especially the final melodic part.
George had a incredible fantastic guitar tone. What a masterpiece and what a cover!
