Don Dokken interrupts Sebastian Bach interview.
In the middle of our Sebastian Bach interview, Don Dokken just walks right in & starts talking to Sebastian. Baz introduced Don to the camera & Don himself looked straight into the camera, and then just went about his business like we weren't even there. Don then ripped George Lynch, Skid Row, & then proceeded to give the legal history of reclaiming the name Dokken. Sebastian then gave a plug to Blabbermouth. Good stuff. This clip shows Don walking in, then cuts to the 3 Guys explaining everything else that was going on behind the scenes & why some of the camera shots were crappy, before cutting to Mr Dokken and his opinions. All views expressed by the hosts are strickly their OPINION. They could be wrong.

Ahhh, this interview with Don Dokken,...what can I say, memorable. I watched it here at home with friends for the 1st time in years & it brought back alot of memories & it also helped me to see again how much Don really gave of himself in this one. Conducted at the Far West Rodeo here in San Antonio back in 2002, you'll see & hear Don talk about his new release at that time, 'Long Way Home', which is one of my fave Dokken cd's, but also hear him share his despair on a long, lost love of his, his dissatisfaction with MTV & the roller coaster ride of touring. He was honest, clear & blunt at times,...but thats what a good interview gives you. This is a long one, so be sure to grab your drink & take it all in. ~ El Mero Metal, Robb Chavez (AND, YES, I WAS pretty damned buzzed,....Don & I were drinking wine on the bus)

Don reformed Dokken in the early 1990s and has been continuing on with the band ever since. He released his second solo album titled Solitary in 2008, which was a stylistic departure from his Dokken material. He continues to tour with Dokken today and is known for his passive stage persona. Unlike other lead singers, Dokken prefers standing in one spot on stage and is a very skilled air drummer.
Biography
Early success
In the late 1970s, he was playing in a Los Angeles-based band called Airborn, and had the opportunity to reach a record deal in Germany. After seeing the band Xciter, and future bandmates George Lynch and Mick Brown, he knew that they would complete the band that would land the record deal. Although Lynch and Brown were not interested in joining forces with him when he first contacted them, he went ahead to Germany. Don, with the help of one of Xciter's songs, did get the record deal, and he finally convinced Lynch and Brown, along with bassist Juan Croucier, to join him in Dokken soon after he received it.During his time in Germany, Dokken befriended the German band Scorpions, and sang with them in rehearsals for their Blackout album while lead vocalist Klaus Meine was being treated for nodes on his vocal cords. Meine recovered and returned to record the album, although Dokken's background vocals remained on several tracks.
In 1983, America saw the release of the first Dokken album, Breaking the Chains which had a moderate reception. However Juan Croucier left the band to join Ratt. Jeff Pilson was brought in for their second release, Tooth and Nail, and at this time metal fans and critics began to take notice of the band. Don's strong, melodic vocals, coupled with Lynch's blazing guitar playing and the steady rhythm section of Brown and their new bassist, guided Dokken to national fame as one of the biggest hard rock bands of the 1980s.
In 1986 Don Dokken and the band made a soundtrack album for the hit movie: Nightmare on elm street 3 Dream Warrriors including their hit song named after the movie to go with it... many other hits were on the album such as Into The Fire, and Back For The Attack... some say those might've been Dokken's best days in service to metal.
Solo release
In the late 1980s, however, personal tension between Dokken and Lynch took its toll on the band. In 1988, after the Monsters of Rock Tour and a further platinum album, Don Dokken decided to break up the band and they went on their separate ways. Don Dokken originally wanted to continue on with the Dokken name, but since Lynch maintained partial ownership, he was forced to put out his next album under the Don Dokken name, and it became known as his first solo album. The album, titled Up from the Ashes, was released in 1990, and was very similar to the Dokken catalog. This project was a supergroup of sorts, made up of guitarists John Norum (of Europe fame) and Billy White, bassist Peter Baltes (of Accept fame) and drummer Mikkey Dee (of King Diamond fame and then Motörhead).Both Dee and Baltes had previously been members of Dokken during the late 1970s for brief periods. Two music videos were made for the singles "Mirror Mirror" and "Stay". Also, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Don spent time as a producer for the metal band XYZ.
He also made a guest appearance on the German progressive metal band Vanden Plas's Spirit of Live album as the vocalist for their live performance of Dokken's "Kiss of Death" with which the studio version can be found on Vanden Plas's "Far Off Grace" album.
Dokken reunion
Around late 1993, Don started to talk with Mick Brown, who had recently left George Lynch's new group, Lynch Mob. They joined up with Jeff Pilson, and started to write new songs. In 1994, they sent what they had written to George Lynch, who was impressed with the material. Together, they decided to reunite and tour again. This reunion lasted for three years and resulted in two new Dokken albums, an acoustic live disc, and a full live concert recorded in Japan in 1995. In the late-1990s, Dokken once again parted ways with George Lynch, gained guitarist Reb Beach, and later kicked off a new era with guitarist John Norum after the departure of Reb Beach. That union didn't last long as Norum departed quickly to re-unite with Europe. Norum was briefly replaced by Italian guitarist Alex De Rosso for the live tour until Don managed to find a permanent replacement and in 2003 Guitarist/Lawyer Jon Levin filled that position where he continues to this day at Don's side.Since 1994, Dokken has released six studio albums, two live albums, a Greatest Hits album, as well as their first two DVDs. Don Dokken released a new solo album titled Solitary in 2008 and Dokken released a new album titled Lightning Strikes Again during the same year. On March 1, 2010, the band Dokken's second greatest hits album, aptly titled Greatest Hits, was digitally released to iTunes and Amazon.com. The physical album with additional tracks is set to release from King Records (Japan) on April 21, 2010 and will be available in the United States through Cleopatra Records at a later date.
On September 22nd, 2010, in an interview with BraveWords.com, Don Dokken revealed that he would be undergoing vocal surgery, to correct problems with nodes and tears in his vocal chords. February 4th, 2011 Anchorage, Alaska was Dokken's first show since surgery.
