Every single Wednesday without fail, your hosts post a suitably stale video clip that we think needs to be revisited. Click here for more Crusty Clips. Got a clip you think we should post? Send it to crustcake@gmail.com. By Andy O'Connor (TX) Dokken doesn't have any Chaos in Tejas shows planned, or any upcoming Texas shows for that matter. What do they have to do with the festival? Don Dokken,
Glee travels to a galaxy far, far away to celebrate Christmas... kind of. Check out the numerous Christmas classics covered in this unbelievable episode.
Glam metal veterans Dokken has announced that they will soon be entering the studio to record a brand new album, which will be released sometime next year through Frontiers Records. This will be the bands first album since 2008s, "Lightning Strikes Again." The group is hoping to finish recording the album by the end of February before hitting the r...

Knowing this genre wasn't the most difficult part of making this list. I know this music better than I know the names of the members of my family. The difficult journey in making this list was figuring out what bands belonged. There are some giants of the metal field that have been obviously excluded. Metallica is too metal. AC/DC was too hard rock. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest didn't
In 1978 the band Dokken formed, it was soon after the band was composed of Don Dokken (vocals), George Lynch (guitar), Juan Croucier (bass), and Mick Brown (drums). They were wide-eyed and ready to rock, still there was no way anyone could predict a Grammy nomination, die-hard fans, and the Ultimate Warrior style armbands.

If you've over the age of 30, you've heard Mr.Big's 1991 chart-topping, power-ballad "To Be with You" . Some 20 years later, you can still hear the song on a variety of satellite radio stations, from the '90s channel to the hair metal channel to the lite rock channel. It's also featured in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages . The original lineup - Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitars), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Pat Torpey (drums) - released 4 albums between [...]

. . . A few months ago, Cosmo invited me to write an article about my discovery of heavy metal during the days of my youth. George Lynch and the music of Dokken were a big part of those days and my initial inspiration to pick up the guitar. Interviewing someone you grew up listening to from an early age is a bit more intimidating than perhaps talking to a more recent musical influence or a contemporary peer. However, I found Mr. Lynch to be an extremely humble and soft-spoken man, who, in this interview, recalls [...]

Every once in a while, I listen to, and enjoy, non-metal music. Currently, I'm being treated to the dulcet tones of The Best of Earth, Wind, and Fire, as my gentleman friend is attending their show soon and rubbing it in my face that I won't be able to go. Bah, they got nothing on [...]
News Rob Cavuoto of Guitar International has just conducted an interview with legendary guitarist George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB, SOULS OF WE).

I like music videos. I don't mean just lame concert footage videos either. (I get it, Band, you can play your instruments like, really well. In front of people!) No, I mean the amazing, overblown, explosions and nonsensical storylines, holy shit is that a cameo by jailbait Keri Russell in bra?!, looks like it was [...]
Why this song, why now? WSOU's Steve Stracq, a fellow Ratturday celebrator and surprisingly seasoned hair metal aficionado for his years, always seems to be playing this song whenever I tune in. Doesn't matter when; I feel like every time I turn on SOU and hear Steve on the air there's Dokken, and there's "Breakin' [...]
Cover Me's Eric Garneau attempts to defend the much-maligned "Christmas album" trope that many of our favorite artists have fallen victim to over the years.
At the Accept show I went to last week, I had a pretty funny moment with the boy when I said that it sounded like they were singing "We are nice" instead of "Neon nights." Which got me thinking: I mishear lyrics a lot. It could be because I'm deaf, or people just don't enunciate, [...]
One day mankind will go extinct and the remains of our civilization will later be picked over by aliens. Though they can speedily assemble collections of most homo erectus artifacts for their alien museums, their super-brains will struggle to grasp and group the arts of Earth, y'know, for their encyclopedias and stuff. So it's in [...]
Heavy Metal Parking Lot - Judas Priest - Cap Center - Landover, MD -1986 About a year ago I was out on the road with one of the artists I work with and to pass the time, we threw in the movie, Heavy Metal Parking Lot . I had never seen it but apparently was a pretty big underground sensation. I still crack up every time I see clips because it is so foreign yet so close to home.
MS commenter "Sat," also of HeavyStreet.com, has been requesting an MS interview with former Winger/Dokken/Whitesnake/Night Ranger shredder Reb Beach forever. Though today is not that day - and Hair Metal Week at MS is likely not that week - perhaps we'll get to a Reb Beach interview some day. I honestly wouldn't even know who [...]
