Thanks Nicola! I was feeling exceptionally good that day - That last note was not in the "script" haha but I was feeling good and was capable of belting it out.
Thanks!!! This was the most insanely hard cover I've ever done. I was BEAT after practicing/filming this - it took a lot out of me so I can only imagine why Don doesn't sing it like this anymore!
This post may "date" may, but I first saw "A Nightmare of Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors" at the age of 13. Its theme song was the first metal song I ever heard and it remains a favorite of mine to this day, some 26 years later. You've done much more than do it justice, Matt. Well done. Keep up the great work. *Takes my hat off.*
I will say this, there is ABSOLUTELY no way I could do a full set of Dokken songs with this intensity - Don was/is a beast - this was probably the hardest vocal cover I've ever attempted and I know why Don was/is so awesome. Major props to him.
Matt Turkington I understand but this brings me back to the days man, I understand your perspective but I wouldn't be surprised if, with a little work, this became easier for you.
Don was obviously a great singer especially on back for the attack and beast from the east. Yet people are still saying he was never that good and weak, or the weakest link in the band? What? He was also a very good guitarist!
Crashbanksbuysilver you gotta understand that Don is in his fucking 60s and his body has gone through hell with multiple cancer treatments. I personally believe Don still sounds pretty darn well all things considered. Don even said he could barely hit the high notes in the studio back in the day, so for all the Dokken "fans" trashing on Don they need to get fucking real or hop off the Dokken fan wagon
Brandon Ouellette well said. I’ve seen Dokken 5 times in the last 5 yrs. Don has his good nights & bad but he & the band show up every night ready to kill it.
loved it! My only problem is the layers, they tend to overpower your leads. I recommend knocking 'em back by 50%, but everything is there sound wise. Great job dude! Loved the growls too.
That was just fun to watch/enjoy! Good vocals, for sure, and also like the humor/expressions/comedy that you put with it...I am also a power melodic metal vocalist, and love this song as well! I have sung it at karaoke bars, along with :Breakin' the Chains", and " Alone again" by Dokken.
I didn't have a lot of money/resources back then after I bought the house in 2010 and was just trying to make due. They never installed A/C ductwork in that side of the house (new addition). After that and when I had enough money, removed the window, added a new window and a mini A/C split to cool that side of the house....things take time sometimes.
Halford Style on a Dokken song? Hell yeah! You did a very fine job. The only critiques that I have would be the backing vocals overshadowed you at times and that you missed the "oh oh" part before the Dream Warriors chorus.
I just listened to the original track on the radio. I feel like the music is too loud and I just can't tell if you're actually singing because it sounds so damned similar. It's muy loco.
Matt they're remaking the nightmare movie again and from what I understand they're incorporating elements from dream warriors in it. you should totally send them this cover. I love the old school high end mixed with aggressive low-end vocals. gives it a new updated sound by taking nothing away from the original Dokken song. Great Job!!!#
this song was used on the third nightmare on elm st tentatively titled Dream warriors. and yes you got a killer voice, but i could not hear your voice during the chorus part, but good talent. i too can sing this one as dokken once sang it, someday i will upload a vid with me singing this,. kick ass and thanks for a great song.
Seriously had a nostalgic flashback and ran into this!! Your voice just brought me back.... AWESOME. Great voice...
I'm really impressed . Amazing vocal extension !!! Last part shocked me ...
Thanks Nicola! I was feeling exceptionally good that day - That last note was not in the "script" haha but I was feeling good and was capable of belting it out.
@@murkington head voice exercises 👍
I love the addition singing in the background that follows up with the main voice.
Dude if you havent covered WASP yet, you should! Perfect voice for WASP!
Oh my lanta! You are so exceptionally talented on vocals! This seriously is intense. Nice man. Keep doing great covers!
Thanks Sharmaine! I'll keep doing covers if you keep listening!
Matt Turkington Matt, I'm in a Band as well
Thanks!!! This was the most insanely hard cover I've ever done. I was BEAT after practicing/filming this - it took a lot out of me so I can only imagine why Don doesn't sing it like this anymore!
Great cover! congrats!

You've done much more than do it justice, Matt. Well done. Keep up the great work.
*Takes my hat off.*
WOW.. very cool.. love your vocals.. ROCK ON
Your voice reminds me of Jimmy Barnes' and I just LOVE it.
You Sir have an incredible voice. I like your version. As a long time Dokken fanatic, awesome job!
If I had your voice I would sing all day every day. Great job.
Thank you! Only way I've gotten where I am is by singing every day - so you should do the same! :)
That was great! I really like your voice!
Thank you!
Love the improv at the end and the fun attitude
Woow, that's great, my fave Dokken song!
Holy Smokes Matt, your voice has major balls, way more than Don's. Most impressed!
Ho Lee Phuk. That was awesome. Great voice man!
Thank you!
This is a phenomenal performance! Great job man!
Great job!
Holy moly. That was intense. I like the lows under the melody as well. Killer job.
Wow, great job, you should send this to the Dokken band, Don isn't doing so well these days when it comes to the high notes in particular.
I will say this, there is ABSOLUTELY no way I could do a full set of Dokken songs with this intensity - Don was/is a beast - this was probably the hardest vocal cover I've ever attempted and I know why Don was/is so awesome. Major props to him.

Thanks for watching Bobby! I'm glad you liked it!
Mate no worries....the pleasure was all mine...and my ears
loved it! My only problem is the layers, they tend to overpower your leads. I recommend knocking 'em back by 50%, but everything is there sound wise. Great job dude! Loved the growls too.
You're humble and incredible. I cannot believe you do not have more subscribers etc.
That was just fun to watch/enjoy! Good vocals, for sure, and also like the humor/expressions/comedy that you put with it...I am also a power melodic metal vocalist, and love this song as well! I have sung it at karaoke bars, along with :Breakin' the Chains", and " Alone again" by Dokken.
You are good dude. I know you joked around a bit during the solo but your voice is good! Keep it up.
Friggin mighty mate. Sub and a half right there son. Keep at her lad, some voice on you man.
I agree, this is awesome and funny at the same time! Love the intro! haha

HAHA dude I love this. 80's is cheesy but the best musicians imo
Move to Atlanta and join my traditional heavy metal band.
this was a wonderful cover what brought me here was that improv/ vocal cover you did for polyphia :D just amazing
Thanks Brad! I briefly took vocal lessons, but for the most part I am self taught and drew off the influences around me.
Matt they're remaking the nightmare movie again and from what I understand they're incorporating elements from dream warriors in it. you should totally send them this cover. I love the old school high end mixed with aggressive low-end vocals. gives it a new updated sound by taking nothing away from the original Dokken song. Great Job!!!#
