George Lynch's solo is so powerful and melodic it hurts.

[@Trinity4me]

The eighties metal experience was indescribably magical. It’s a shame that so many generations can’t relate to it. No other Genre quite captured the melodic power and musical bliss the way that it did. Dokken was a huge part of this.

[@BODA-KFH]

I couldn't agree more, in the 80's when it came out, This ballad had me struck, I was so jealous of Lynch and Dokken writing such a melodic tune, I was in a metal band in Phoenix and I tried like hell to get the guys to do this song, nope!, and even today I will post this in our music chat room and some fucking dummy will say that song is shit, there's something deep in its structure that attracts what I fell are "True Musicians."

100%. I first saw Jeff when he was playing Bass for Randy Hansen when Randy was doing the Jimi Hendrix tributes. This was right before he joined Dokken.

[@johnnymoraes23]

One of the most beatiful ballads ever recorded. So emotional and full. And the guitar solo is just KILLER. So expressive. George Lynch at his best. This song is from 1989, and to me, it symbolizes the end of an awesome decade and also, the goodbye for Dokken, since they would reform only in 1995. What amazing times, the 80's. George's solo here shows why he's one of the ultimate guitar heroes, and the greatest post-Eddie Van Halen and Malmsteen. Incredible guitar playing, grab, note choice, expression, individuality, technique, harmonics and that KILLER guitar tone, just KILLER.

[@masterblaster3914]

So much emotion. George truly sings through his 🎸

[@williamwalker146]

Definitely among George's finest guitar solos.

[@johnnymoraes23]

​@@masterblaster3914 genius... to me, the greatest rock guitar player, after EVH, the Mozart of rock guitar. So much expression. Notice his killer guitar tone, great note choice, killer harmonics, good choice of melodies, beautiful legato and a monstrous grab, everything played with so much emotion.

[@krazycitizen]

doesn't get better than this song.

[@michaelputignano8367]

I think Dokken had the two best ballads with this and Alone Again.

[@garyleewhite]

Don Dokken has perhaps one of the best ever voices in rock n roll; clear, crisp, powerful.

[@crystalfranklin6654]

Agreed and his songs are so awesome and meaningful

[@DonaldBell69]

I never really thought about it but you are right. 100%. It's similar to Axl's voice except Don can control it and not sound like he's putting his nuts in a blender hahaha. But yeah very powerful and very clear.

[@MaximusAdonicus]

@@DonaldBell69 Interesting comparison! Perhaps there's some similarities... but Axl is on a whole other level! There was loads of great singers in the 80's, just like Don, but only a few were in the same class as the likes of Sebastian Bach and Axl Rose.

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

I always thought that Don and Joe Lynn Turner had the clearest voices in metal.

It's weird...he has some amazing intricate solos...but some of his simplest are his best. Another one that is amazing is on "Slippin away" on Under lock and key

[@mwbrada]

@@badius377 George became keenly aware of how to be a story teller using six strings during Tooth and Nail I feel. He just kept expanding it. Sacred Groove is so enjoyable for me.

[@kristinegockley3983]

Don dokkens voice is so amazing. The guitar work is excellent.

[@ln4454]

Don Dokken one of the best lyrics writer from his generation, not well recognized the way he deserved. This song proves his talent. Lines like "Your love I borrowed just like time" "Just walk away, there will be no more tomorrows" "From far away I tried to say "I´m sorry", but I can´t find a way..." "I didn´t mean to breay your heart, I wish it had been mine" "Was it love we had, or love gone bad? Still the love we need" This is pure poetry.

[@ln4454]

The whole song is so emotional. I also love the scream of Dokken at the end "Just walk awaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy" - 4:07 - 4:12

[@kennymorris5549]

I always thought this song had a hiding meaning. This was their last song before George Lynch left the band.

[@brendoncarmo2303]

This is one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard in my life!

[@CrestoneMountains]

right on... I was memorized by this amazing rock band Dokken (and for pop music, the amazing writer, bassist, producer and singer George Michael) in the late 80s. They were the ones who captivated the fans who loved guitar, bass, and vocals. I would love to go back to those years.
