treeduck Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Right before Phil Kennemore passed away from cancer there was a big benefit concert on his behalf. Don Dokken and Geoff Tate were there. I was able to hang out with both of them at the same time and my wife took a pic of me in the middle of both of them. Now I know both of these guys have voices that are shot to shit but they were very nice in person. Class acts. It was a big moment for me.Steal that picture from Wendy's wallet Earl and get it posted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Dokken is great. Just wish I had been able to see them live back in the day. Still enjoy their music. I saw the "Back For The Attack" Tour. That was my first time. I've seen Dokken many times after that. To be honest I think the band is better in the studio than live.I first saw them in 1986 when they opened for Accept at Manchester Apollo. I've still got the Dokken Rockin' America baseball shirt! And it still fits even though it was medium! :hail: :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Lynch-era Dokken was incredible. I love George Lynch to this day. Mr. Scary rules!Are you getting the Back For the Attack Rock Candy?? Naturally! Being playing Wicked Sensation all week in the van in preparation for the coming onslaught of scariness!I was never that keen on Lynch Mob and Oni Logan's vocals. I only enjoy the first two Lynch Mob records. After that all shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I like how you know that when I disagree with you on, say, Ghost its more banter and not an attack (like some took it...sorry you butthurt Ghost fans)! WE LOVE DOKKEN...and soon I will get me some Ratt (and Autograph and Honeymoon Suite). Will eventually listen to all of Dokken...they are an odd band. I don't love them because they are groundbreaking, I love them because they ROCK DAMN HARD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! "Sleepless Nights" buddy!I don't think they toured the UK in 1988. If they did I missed them. I still have my shirt from the 1986 gig though it's one from their American tour, it has Dokken rockin' America on the back with the tour dates. The front has those same pictures from the program with the Dokken logo. It's pretty faded now, it's a raglan baseball style, it still fits me too!
