Confessions of a Dream Warrior - An Interview with Don Dokken

[@vh1984ful]

Met Don on his tour bus, 1997 at The Canoe Place Inn in the Hamptons. Invited "the Canadians" on for a beer after the show. Super great guy!

Legend.....

[@rayprevailer8454]

Fantastic chat. Many years ago I saw them at the Madina ball room in Minneapolis. Cinderella was playing with them that night. Don had a broken leg from a jet ski accident. Kudos to him for performing!

[@christopherbell4543]

I love Don's interviews I've binged on them before I'd love to meet him one day at a convention it would be amazing if he did a panel discussion and took questions from the audience Dokken's greatest hits is an impressive collection of timeless tunes that I never get tired of so hats off to Don and company for gifting the fans such a great legacy. 🍻🍾🥂🍗🤘👍

Thanks for listening!

[@timlester4892]

met don a few years ago super nice guy!!

[@monks953]

Really enjoyed this interview great questions. This is super cool I have met Dokken a handful of times I was there at the closing of his Redondo Beach Studio called 7:10. I am a huge fan at the time and when I met him he was very personal and friendly he came into the party late grabbed the Les Paul and ripped into Led Zeppelin rock and roll it blew my f****** mind

[@MonstersMadnessandMagic]

Thank you for listening!

[@angusorvid8840]

When did Don close his studio? I know he lived in Redondo forever.

[@stephensanchez9590]

It was 1985 when dokken was on American bandstand they did just got lucky and alone again

[@stephensanchez9590]

Great interview, I always liked listening to dons interviews

[@martymartin2894]

Im not even a huge fan of his music but i too enjoy listening to his interviews and stories.

[@StaceyValente]

Don's always been my favorite 💓

[@ufonautradio]

Just love the guy.

[@jlopez65]

Don is great! However, George and Jeff wrote the version that we all know today. Don wrote his own version of Dream Warriors also. Don's version got rejected and the Lynch/Pilson version was accepted.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

It is important to know who the creative force was in a band, I have no issue with Don Dokken letting people know. George probably got too much credits among the casuals than he should have, and Don not enough

[@roadbully384]

100%

[@mikemaj8467]

Don was imo the best hard rock melodic singer period. His vibrato was unmatched.

[@stephensanchez9590]

When people here dokken most people give George all the credit and rightfully so George should get credit he is great but Don is the voice of dokken and deserves alot of credit he was dokken before George, jeff, and mick,but when you put them four together it's magic

[@jasonbanks6291]

Dokken was the first concert I went to, orange show pavilion San Bernardino CA

[@MonstersMadnessandMagic]

Bet that was cool!

[@johnhagan582]

Think the group Tipper Gore went after the most was Twisted Sister and also made reference to lyrics from Shout At The Devil and maybe Dr Feelgood but not sure on that .

[@noaveragejoe]

Don talking Ed Wood…don’t know how he got there, but that’s something new. Nice interview!

[@MonstersMadnessandMagic]

Thanks for listening!

[@PaulShaw-ex7ri]

I thought DOKKEN was a European Band early on.

[@salinamartin8711]

I was a huge Dokken fan! I was in love with Don! I was 18yrs old in 1986 and I had seen Dokken several times in the 80s! I saw them in a field in Iowa where the were one of 5 bands. Aerosmith was last. Dokken rocked and Arrow much sucked!

[@vh1984ful]

Great story!

[@johnhagan582]

I saw Dokken twice .one with George Lynch on the Tooth And Nail tour Johnson City Tenn in front of 30.000 and the last in the 90s without Lynch at a brand new Marriott Hotel Ballroom in Kingsport Tenn with Great White opening up .there couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 hundred people .was awesome show and got to go on the "Greats" tour bus after the show and smoke some weed with them .but remember feeling sad for these guys having to play really small venues after Nirvana and grunge basically killed all the 80s Rock Music .

[@all4rains967]

The Donald Trump of rock & roll.

[@luna945]

Looks good at 70. Interesting interview. Quit those smokes though, they can't be helping your voice.

[@martymartin2894]

He doesn't look 70, he actually reminds me a bit of glen Tipton here.

[@emilio8822]

Donkey Kong, LOL,

[@mikemaj8467]

Don like anyone in America can do anything he wants as long as he's not breaking laws. He doesn't need your opinion or permission. Get a life.

[@robertjaramillo4822]

Another daryl hall.

[@scottlowe7343]

No need to write anymore. The new album is decent. But we didn't need that either. Love Dokken, always will. Don is 70 now. And let's be honest, most of the time is just barely getting through performances.
