Oh dear... New Dokken video..

[napalmdeath]

Guitar player's rippin', but geez... Don sounds and looks like a corpse..

 

[Panhead5]

Don is a corpse and worse yet doesn't know when to give it up .Pitiful .

 

[Arch Stanton]

Looks like what happens when the video budget is about $350

 

[scriptphase]

Looks like that was shot at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. I remember a Lynch interview, not long ago, where he said Don had moved to New Mexico.

 

[JackBootedThug]

ugh...I thought the old guy sounded pretty good...vid was a big ole hunk of cheese....did they hire a Nigerian film crew to make it?

 

[srommes]

Holy balls…..that’s not good…..other than the guitar solo.

 

[nigelpkay]

I thought it sounded good?
Video was terrible, yeah, but total Dokken song there. (Although to be honest after listening again, it was kind of like someone asked an AI to write a Dokken song from Breaking the Chains era and that’s what came out).

 

[MusicIsLife]

Like Yngwie, Don needs to quit directing his own videos. And both need to hire proper singers ;-)

 

[romanianreaper]

Lol, what the hell? That video looked like Don was rummaging thrilled my grandmother's house looking for the Pepsodent....

 

[itsme]

What a lame song and video

 

[Corey James]

It’s like Joe Biden on lead vocals

 

[Rdodson]

Good call on Meow Wolf.

 

[Eazy-ESP]

It was actually just ok. Wasn’t a train wreck or anything.

 

[sytharnia1560]

I thought it wasn't great lyrically (like he just repeated the same lyrics a lot .... not as bad as Aerosmith but still bad) but musically it was cool and his singing was better than I expected

 

[ghosty999]

I'd love to ask Don why he still feels he needs to grace us with his "vocals". Does anyone around him tell him that live he looks like a an un-thawing cave man with the voice of asthmatic donkey? Or is it a delusion?

I don’t get the idea he’s doing it because he necessarily wants to or has some music in him he needs to get out before he’s done. After all those health issues and seeing him onstage very clearly not enjoying himself, my knee-jerk is that this is his biggest money maker and the dude wants to stay alive.

Sorta reminds me of seeing any of these old bands do tribute acts to their former selves. GnR, Def Lep, Whitesnake, Motley etc. It's cringey but I get they have divorces, surgery, facial reconstruction etc to pay off haha.

Now thats phuckin phunny

 

[rsm]

That was better than I expected. Not bad for old guys; can't expect vocals to sound like he did in his 20s. I don't think live would be a good idea

Even Sinatra couldn't do it like he once did:



Then there's Vince Neil in 2023.

I thought the same. Was waiting for him to trip over something.. It did have the aimlessly wandering vibe..
