They were good. Some people say Crue were still better ? Bullshit. Don can sing circles around Vince Neil. Great band.

[Rattmaster86]

@cobias that's the thing, Don is a better singer than Vince, George a better guitarist than Mick. But Crue is the better band. Crue had more style, a cooler sound, a better image, better songs, which lead to their success. I love Dokken and their music, but man Dokken's lyrics were cheesy....but good cheesy, unfortunately it didnt work out for them. Don could sing, but Vince was a better more exciting frontman, Pilson a better bassist, b ut not as cool as Nikki..ect. I could go on about this.

@Rattmaster86 Discussion involving Motley Crue, and we're talking about Dokken having cheesy lyrics? lol, I am not saying this to start an argument, but save for Poison their aren't too many people with more cheesy lyrics than Crue at all. Their lyrics were already bad enough, now recently they write even crappier with stuff like MF of the year? It's sad.....

[Rattmaster86]

@DavidKinner The cheese I talked about involving Dokken was that most if not all their lyrics are about love and breakups. It's cheesy but they did it better than anyone, and I love it. I'm also a huge Crue fan, they wrote some cheese too, but not every song was about relationships. I guess what I'm saying is, to me cheesiness its just all about love, and that's what Dokken is about. Crue wrote about Sex, drugs, alcohol which isn't as cheesy to me, love them both either way.

Never headlined in the 80"s. Always opening act. Sad, they should have been bigger then Motley Crue

[Rattmaster86]

@southparkcows1968 i agree they should have been bigger, but not bigger than Crue. Crue is in a league of their own. Dokken just didn't have enough power, drive, uhmf, or whatever. they had good songs, but not great songs, Don was a good singer but not a good front-man. They just didnt have "it" if you know what I mean, nothing made them stand out against all the other bands. that being said, love them like crazy, great band. Keep rokken with Dokken \m/

i went to one dokken concert and only heard the distortion of the guitar

[shredmaster100]

arghhhh its mr scary havent seen dokken in video in years george lynch is a kick ass guitarist and why were all the best rock/metal bands from the 80,s i mean there was guns n roses iron maiden metallica dokken motley crue rainbow alcatrazz megadeth cacophony steve vai joe satriani van halen ozzy osbourne with randy rhoads and so many others music lost its way around 1994 after kurt cobain died im not a nirvana fan at all but for some reason after kurt died rock music died

[rokstar807]

Fuck,I miss the '80's! All this arguing about who's better/plays better/sounds better,etc...Does any of that shit really matter? I mean,look at the disgusting/pathetic 'music' of today,'nuff said!

[VeroCastxx]

motley crue were fucking bastards only doing music for girls and shit... Dokken did it because they fucking love playing, I mean, just look at Lynch, he plays with so much passion... And, their music is so unique, nobody can play like them... anyway, , Dokken will always be the best for me.

[pastore909]

lynch for ever

[Balddi7]

@southparkcows1968

And for the right people... they were. Glam metal was mostly about the look that's why Dokken wasn't so known and Motley Crue fit in pretty well into it just cause of the look. Even that Dokken had so much better music.

[MrDeffmonkey]

wtf are you talking about??crue better band than dokken c'mon guys are you on drugs??dokken is a way talented and in my opinion way better than crue...but leave that alone and listen to the song...
