Time takes its toll on all things....but listen...just...listen...to a soul....meanings in notes and words mixed....just listen...not all is angry and about materialistic reality...listen...this song pertains to all if you have ever ever felt for anyone or anything the way this man feels about his music...just....listen
i don't understand this more recent trend of rock/metal musicians rockin' the iron-straight hair ...Don's hair looks just a tad dated too, haha. Solid performance though.
Dokken's bad as shit --I like this version of the song but he's looking like hammered-on-shit in the video. He needs to quit drugs even if he DOESN'T sing anymore--he looks like shit. Even at his age, what, 40-50? Too young to croak. Lose the drugs, the weight, and start writing songs.
@nokomisnichols fuckoff homophobe! get a life in the real world! What have you done lately to prove you're a REAL MAN?....OOOPS, let me guess, sleep with a woman??///// Obviously you like throwing that "gay" word around loosely... wassup are you scared of something? Let me guess ?!?!?!?!? A REAL WOMAN?????? Your comment was lame, sexually biased. and totally unfounded. GROW UP littleman!!!
Oh! MY GOD>>>please this is my all-time favorite Dokken Ballad! ( I didnt really care for this acoustic version..) BUT how you Gonna talk shit about DOKKEN? They were definitely "Rockin with Dokken" ( In the Eighties!!)
@HawkRockS1996 True, but he didn't help his voice with the smoking. There's a video of this song live from 2007 on here where he's puffing away the whole time and sounds pretty ragged. It's self inflicted to some degree. Nevertheless, this is a cool rendition and he sounds better than he probably should after the abuse his pipes had. Definitely the quintessential metal power ballad.
Man Don looks bad here. Saw him on TMS recently and he sounded bad too. Hope he's not sick or anything. DOn, knock off the smoking. You're destroying one ofthe great voices in metal.
Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I saw these guys on "Headbangers Ball", I'm fricken 40 now and I wish I could go back. Thumbs up to all who remember "H-Ball"....May metal live FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
If you don't appreciate this then you must be one who likes that so called rap music. It's all done artificially. syncronicity...let the raw beauty and feeling shine through.....Don Dokken does this in this clip without George Lynch ...This proves that the true beauty of the music is raw, rare, wikthout compromise!!!!!!! wawa petals, distortion, and even better computer enhancing!!!!!! You gotta love it raw!
A fantastic version of this song. Even better than the original. To all you youngsters who don't even remember the '80s...let's see you top this when you're over 50 and have had your gonads kicked in a few times. Your true love will screw you over, deal with that after 20 plus years. (It really hurts!)
@bigpoppahubb I would have to disagree, respectfully. I love it when George's whaling guitar comes in during the second line. And the weeping solo could make anyone cry. This song was the first ever I heard by Dokken and with them being my favorite band, this song has a special place in my heart.
Jesus Christ... Don Dokken? I haven't seen or heard from this dude since I was a teenager. This tune is great but what the fuck happened to Don? Beer and cocaine (and pizza).. Don if u ever read this dude, you rock man, sorry about the comments on what u look like now, but what the hell you look like shit. Hope your on the upswing in which case I am deeply sorry.
PS how come George Lynch looks like a million bucks, all healthy n shit still wailin and you... ah nevermind.
@neuregel haha dude I totally know thats not George Lynch lol. Ive seen some fairly recent guitar vids with George and the guy still looks quite young and healthy... compared to this lump lol. Just funny how things ended up so different for the 2 guys.
@neuregel that being said george does look in fantastic shape for his age. im guessing they are in early 50's. I read a long time ago that he got into body building and mountain biking.
@pigletized Lol how can u say that when u dont even know what i look like haha. Anyways, Don looks like a shit sandwich and still has a mullett. I know for a fact Imy looks arent going to change as much as his have. Look at the guy... LOL what the hell haha
@dethmag Dons 57, lynch is 56. they are all about the same age. George is no longer in the band of course and I like him way better on his own, I listen to very little Dokken these days although I've always liked them. As far as looks go it's that George has been a bodybuilder for quite a few years, that's why he looks like that while Don is a type of laid back guy. As far as the hair goes...oh well I don't know. I had a drink with them back in 97 and trust me they blew the roof off the club.
great vocals by a legend !!! Don you are great !!! Alone again remains my fav of all time!!! Cmon folks we have all been through what don is singing about!!
IMO Don has still untapped talent. Something is wrong these days with people. I think its the whole "hairband" genre and expectations of the fans that hold many musicians back. I understand that people like a certain type of sound as if it returns them to their youth but I've gotta say sometimes it just comes off as an unwillingness to mature. Why is it that Paul McCartney isn't so trapped? Old Paul does what he wants, sings from the heart, and it sounds completely natural and believable.
@AdamSaladin21 Excellent point. You can really see the toll the rock star lifestyle has taken on him. His voice is still pretty, but wow, he's really showing the mileage.
