DOKKEN an American heavy metal band that was formed in 1979 in Los Angeles, California. The band's lineup consists of vocalist Don Dokken, guitarist George Lynch, bassist Jeff Pilson, and drummer "Wild" Mick Brown. The band achieved commercial success in the 1980s with their unique brand of hard rock and heavy metal, and their music continues to be popular with fans of the genre to this day.
DOKKEN's early years were marked by a series of lineup changes, with Don Dokken and drummer Gary Holland being the only consistent members. In 1983, the band released their second album, "Tooth and Nail", which was produced by Tom Werman and featured the hit single "Alone Again". The album was a commercial success, and helped establish DOKKEN as one of the leading bands of the 1980s heavy metal scene.
The band's follow-up album, "Under Lock and Key", was released in 1985 and featured the hit singles "In My Dreams" and "It's Not Love". The album continued the band's commercial success, and DOKKEN embarked on a world tour to support it. The tour included a stop in Japan, where the band's popularity was particularly strong, and the live album "Beast from the East" was recorded.
In 1987, DOKKEN released their fourth studio album, "Back for the Attack". The album featured the hit single "Dream Warriors", which was featured on the soundtrack for the horror movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors". The album also included the popular songs "Burning Like a Flame" and "Heaven Sent". "Back for the Attack" was the band's most successful album, reaching number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart and going platinum in the United States.
Despite their success, tensions between Don Dokken and George Lynch began to surface, and the band's lineup became increasingly unstable. In 1989, the band went on hiatus, and Don Dokken and George Lynch pursued solo careers. DOKKEN reformed in 1993 with a new lineup, but failed to recapture their previous success. The band has continued to tour and release albums in the years since, but their commercial success has never matched that of their 1980s heyday.
Despite the challenges they faced, DOKKEN's influence on the heavy metal genre cannot be overstated. Their unique blend of hard rock and heavy metal, combined with Don Dokken's powerful vocals and George Lynch's virtuosic guitar playing, set them apart from their contemporaries. Their music continues to be loved by fans of the genre, and their legacy as one of the leading bands of the 1980s heavy metal scene is secure.
