You're gonna lose me talking about Dokken. Never got into them, and Rob's mullet was one of his best hairstyles IMO, but don't let my opinions discourage you from continuing. I respect anyones opinion, and you'll just have to excuse my ignorance about Dokken. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Tephra Rising from Sunday, June 22, 2008 12:58:46 AM)

I don't know if you've had the chance to listen to the latest Dokken CD which was released last month. It's called "Lightning Strikes Again" and it's fucking incredible. Dokken back and firing on all cylinders. I must have listened to it 100 times and it sounds just like they did 20 years ago. Lynch isn't in the lineup anymore (too many pissing contests with Don, I suspect) but their current axe man can play just like Lynch and the riffs will bring him to mind. I imagine that's an easier thing to do than replace Don, but then again this band was always Don's baby. Oh those rock star egos. What is one to do???
Vaillant already knows my story of Priest with Don Dokken opening that I caught on the Painkiller tour in Alaska in 1991. I think Priest/Ryche 3 years ago is about the closest one to that. Another spectacular concert.
My "live baptism of Priest" was during the Turbo tour in Tacoma, WA, 1986 (Rob with a mullet, hahaha) The opener: Dokken.
