JohnRogers Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 So I was doing a deep dive on the new Dokken album and revisiting some classics. I have always thought Burning Like a Flame was my favorite song and believing it was definitely in Dokken's Top Three. I've seen Dokken greatest hits compilations that don't include this heavy metal classic, possibly the greatest metal song of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 "...heavy metal classic, possibly the greatest metal song of all time." Clearly I don't agree with you on that - and I like Dokken. To each their own I guess, but I could not call it either a heavy metal classic or possibly the greatest metal song of all time. For me, Dokken's 5 best songs would be: 1. Breaking The Chains 2. Just Got Lucky 3. Into The Fire 4. Alone Again 5. The Hunter After that it would almost certainly be other work from Tooth & Nail. Perhaps the album that followed it. Those were the best albums (with Tooth and Nail being by far the better album). Back For The Attack is decent and an album I will enjoy it every so often, but for me its a significant drop off from their 2nd and 3rd albums (although overall its better than Breaking The Chains). Guess I have to go with the "not even top 10" option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I prefer the Tooth and Nail, Lightning Strikes Again, Kiss of Death spectrum of Dokken than this particular song. Good song though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I saw them open for Twisted Sister at RCMH back in 86, and again opening for everyone else at Monsters of Rock, 2 years later. Fun little band. Almost forgot about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Tooth and Nail is a great album. Beyond that, a little Dokken goes a very long way. George Lynch, however, is underappreciated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them 4 times and always as an opener or 2nd band on a 3 band bill which is where they belong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are easy to write off as eighties has beens, but the songs have a spark that I feel indicates they could have been far greater had they focused more. They have said so themselves, they got caught up in drink and drugs. The music is way better than it had any right to be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
