More Don Dokken

[Marshall Law]

Since they deleted that video here are a couple more from the same show.

 

[RaceU4her]

its better not to watch, getting the view count up will only keep him going

 

[Rising Farce]

I hope someone is keeping tabs on him. He's clearly blitzed out of his gourd here, to the point where you have to worry about the guy.

I will go against the grain and say he is not intoxicated
Likely on heavy pain meds from the back surgery in November and possibly had a drink or 2 with them
But yes his voice is shot his stage presence gone . When you have so many ailments like Don it’s time to call it a day out of respect to the fans and what Dokken was IMO

I should have been more specific. It's the prospect of painkillers being involved that's concerning.

 

[Beyond Black]

The audience should be on pain killers.

 

[MetalHeadMike]

Wow...that is sad.

yep I agree ... we don't need another Jani Lane happening

I wonder if he has huge medical bills to try and pay

 

[PBGas]

I can’t watch.....poor guy.

I have to assume he needs the money. He doesn’t appear to be enjoying himself up there, he HAS to know how he sounds by this point. If I were 67 and in shit health, the last thing I’d want to be doing is getting on a tour bus and keeping a grind going knowing full and well I can’t deliver what’s expected of me.

Then again, it’s entirely possible that performing is his favorite thing in the world to do and he doesn’t want to let life pass him by in his older age.

 

[Mailman1971]

Not into his singing. But he has to be one of the worlds best Air drummers hands down!

 

[Goat]

Never liked his voice, and his lyrics are juvenile at best. i.e. Teenybopper rock.

LOL!!!

Dude, I think you made my signature block. Haha! I'm dying!

 

[romanianreaper]

The band was playing "Just Got Lucky" way too fast! That doesn't help matters.

 

[Rock Bodom]

I'll always like Don and classic Dokken, I don't get too wrapped up in watching this type of stuff. He's given me a ton of great music over the years, I've got nothing bad to say.

Much as I love their 80's heyday, I always thought the acoustic set they did during the mid-90's reunion was pretty cool:

 

[Mailman1971]

I got a soft spot for the old woman.
She led one of my favorite bands growing up. Dokken could do no wrong back in the mid to late 80s in my book. Lynch was the man!

 

[Purpleibby]

I'll echo these sentiments.....Love Dokken and him and George gave us some killer music and playing back in the day that inspired the hell out of me. Will always respect them and those Dokken records will always stay in rotation.

First I make Reza’s Hater Highlight Reel, and now your signature block! I’m on a roll, thanks man!!!

 

[Bob Savage]

I can’t watch.....poor guy.

Same thing I was thinking.
