Dokken (with John Norum) - Kiss Of Death live in Hungary, 2002.

This video is from 2002 when Dokken played in Budapest, Hungary in E-Klub (currently named Diesel Club). John Norum's guitar playing was amazing as always.

[@MrClassicmetal]

Norum is a beast! Very clean and accurate playing, every note is clearly distinguishable, great vibrato, and although he follows Lynch's melodies it's very much his own style shining through. The band is very tight as well.

[@julioocasioalbino551]

John is so badass very good player , his work with Europe is awesome

[@guidobottazzo]

to those who dont know who norum is, actually he never cloned lynch at all. that's why his solos where similar but different, his own way. Norum had and ( even more today) has his own style, which is what actually makes him well respected in the guitar world.

[@CarloGuitardello]

Actually he copied a lot the style of Michael Schenker and Gary Moore.

[@kderinoglu]

Carlo my friend, who hasn't?😄

[@toma.4808]

He was also one of dons guitarists when he went solo.his work can be heard on up from the ashes

[@robertstaples1647]

one of the best rock voices of the 80's........it's long gone now.

[@markiecervantez8050]

Robert Staples yeah tell him !

[@dokkengirljo6993]

Norum ( Europe) ... a beast.....

[@toma.4808]

The great john norum! He was a member of Dons solo band that released up from the ashes. The combination of norum and guitarist billy white (with additional guitar from don) made a formidable pair

[@tigerbalm666]

This song is a beast! One of the best Dokken tunes, but over-looked. Great rhythm, lyrics, melody, and kickin' solo!

[@harleyriderny69]

John Norum is so badass...one of my all time favorite players.

[@Thirdgen83]

He's boring. Copies Zakk Wylde.

[@bankabaver4583]

@@Thirdgen83 Zakk Wylde!?

[@MrClassicmetal]

@@Thirdgen83 Oh really?🤔

[@Thirdgen83]

YES.

[@cjdickey1650]

@Dafyd Maddz Norum blazes by Zack with ease.

[@manolocintron]

The band sounds tight as hell, but Don Dokken seems to have lost his voice. This lineup featuring John Norum ( guitars ), Barry Sparks ( bass ) and Mick Brown ( drums ) was awesome. Great guitar solo by Norum.

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

Any guy who can pull off Lynch in a live setting is a god damn God

[@edy807]

excellent solo performance!!! one of the greatest song of all times

[@edcollins9377]

I saw Norum on the tour supporting the Don Dokken "up from the Ashes" solo album. Norum was outstanding and the other guitarist was good also Great show.

[@christophevernizzi962]

Super John.

[@stephensanchez9590]

Great performance can hear everything clearly, guitar, bass,drums, and Dons vocals

[@evalex71]

John Norum is the fucking man, this song kicks ass, I wish I was there

[@sifurodrigo4291]

Norum, another amazing guitarist, Power Metal Pioneer, right at the same level with, Schenker, or Moore.

[@stephensanchez9590]

He played that solo great

[@standingvertical3048]

Sounds real good.

[@KevinBKlein]

Very Very Cool !

[@HoosierDaddyDetailing]

I heard that Norum left this tour abruptly, apparently he was home sick and missed his cat. Heard this from the guys on "The Classic Metal Show" :-)

[@ryansvloggingit5492]

Kee Marcelo was a great guitarist

[@set2light]

Fantastically well played by John Norum, and wonderful to watch too. It's much better than the Reb Beach version and indeed than the later Lynch versions, which are weak, too thin and quite silly, in that the solos go nowhere, do nothing interesting and waffle on.

[@vitalygolub9716]

Norum is a package. Phenomenal player

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

not even someone as good as John Norum can play with the same soul as GL. George is the master. He's really up the catagory of Eddie, Page, Angus etc.

[@europecod]

+Bobby Wolfe are you sure ?? , I've watched severals Dokken's kiss of death Live version with G.L and He can't or maybe He doesn't want to play like in the album. In the other hand this version is much more tasteful playing , I mean that vibrato of John is way better than the G.L. anyway in music , colours .

[@BAJARACER43X]

over all playing of J N is better than G L

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Lynch is an amazing guitarist, a phenomenon even. But I actually think Norum outplayed him here. His vibrato is much better, and he has more controle over things compared to Lynch.

[@kingofdragontown9680]

I love him, but George can't replicate any of his solos live. However, Billy White, John Norum, Jon Levin can nail those solos perfectly. Listen to In My Dreams with George Lynch and then Billy White and tell which one sou ds more like the record.

[@MrClassicmetal]

@@MichaelHolmgaard I have a hard time admitting it, because I am a huge fan of 80's Lynch, but you are right. Norum's performance here is phenomenal. That lead is played with total conviction.

[@guitarwithjamesoffical]

So awesome!!!

[@imagginod]

Bra frisyrer.

[@BigCatloveskitten74]

I play the guitar myself, and John Norum is one of the best guitarists ever. He has inspired me a long time and still does. He can do anything on a guitar,but his best feature is his touch whsh is unique. The only guitaris I can think of matching him was Gary Moore

[@MrClassicmetal]

Moore was one of his marjor influences. Along with Michael Schenker.

[@avocate2017]

And like Gary Moore, John Norum is a lead guitarist who can also sing really well.

[@brotherfiretribe9566]

BigCatloveskitten74 though he cant play some Marcello's solos

[@1norville]

Sounds like someone gave Don's voice the "Kiss Of Death!"

[@cjf7991]

Best Lineup

[@hm3kmsd]

John Norumが素晴らしいな。Donはこの頃から歌えてない。

[@relaxingthesoulmind1879]

Dam Cigarettes Don should of never smoke the dam thing's his voice starting to go can't get some of those higher pitches🐺

this show wasn't that bad. especially compared to todays dokken shows

[@kaylaschulz2277]

Kiss kiss

[@SUNFUNSEEKER1]

what a shame Don lost his voice,,,its even worse now in 2013,,,he had one of the coolest sounding voices in heavy metal,hes not the only one thou,lots of metal singers lost it.

[@kingofdragontown9680]

It's getting better in the year 2019.

[@europecod]

hey nice video , good quality , any chance to share the DVD ?

[@Mirrmurr]

All my video is on the KZbin from this gig, I don't plan to put it on to DVD:)

[@europecod]

Mirrmurr ok , thanks for sharing :)!!

[@satchbooggy]

this song needs to be instrumental.

[@tolerbearALTII]

Don Dokken has always been one of my favorite lead singers but lately he's gotten lazy in his singing. He don't even try to hit the high notes anymore. I'm really disappointed in his performance these days. I wonder if that's why George Lynch and him had a falling out. George was giving it his all and Don acts as if he has lost his passion for being a great singer? I'd tell it to his face too. I saw a video with Don and Mick and Don's attitude sucked. I've been a Dokken fanatic since Tooth and Nail. Who knows. I do agree that John Norum has always been awesome!

[@theshogos]

3:41 that descending lick i damn tasty

[@v2saatana]

wow. Norum plays Lynch songs better than Lynch! He makes it look effortless.

[@saby442]

Király, jöhet a többi is.

[@rack52]

Cobain on the bassguitar?

[@edcollins9377]

George who??? Norum killed it!

[@standingvertical3048]

That's not fair to George. This guy is a great guitar player as well.

[@antonvondokken]

The band sounds great Norum . Sorry Dokken but when your voice goes its sad.

[@sab2871]

This guy who is the " fill in for Don's version is playing everything pretty much note for note and it sounds great thru a Les Paul and what a lot of people don't know is George Lynch is a strat player but loves Les pauls ! a guitar whch is made from Mahogony is is clearly " superior to any other no matter what ! there is the Maple top wich gives a " bite " Also but the Les Paul will always be king and its " clones ! Listen to that " tone and resonance " and amazing ! Mahogony , the " king of guitar woods" !

[@Thirdgen83]

You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[@Kammoflars]

Actually alder or ash is...

[@franckl.7974]

How to spoil one of Lynch's best solos? Listen to Norum...he has got the answer

[@rahbirt]

+Franck L. Ha! John fukin nailed it! Crisp with an awesome vibrato. Lynch can't even play his own solos anymore

[@WastedJoey]

rahbirt it's sad how true that statement is

[@manolocintron]

The band sounds tight, but Don Dokken can't sing that song. John Norum plays perfect.

[@kennytan728]

Don,i'm a singing doctor if u wanna recover your ruined voice and sing again,contact me :)

[@ericschermerhorn2813]

Norum was influenced by Michael Schenker and Gary Moore

[@mr65plexi]

great song but Don Dokken can't sing it, omg he's horrible John Norum Rocks!

[@shanecrawford9808]

play the fucking opening riff right for gods sake

[@artheriford]

Too much coke, and too much smoke

[@klaatique]

bass sound has damaged guitar sound........

[@p0rkjell0]

Good try, but George slays anyone trying this shit...

[@yudhasibarani8476]

Don is the weak spot,the name of the band is an irony, jon bon jovi do te business better.

[@Thirdgen83]

This is horrible...

[@DailyDoseofDerkie]

He did a good job on the solo but, no feeling, robotic and then he didn't do the "jack-off' vibrato that Lynch does and is known for.

[@ghostzapper2006]

Lynch puts this guy to shame. Not even close. Dokken sucked ever since Lynch left. Lynch is the man. This guy is trying to cover Lynch and hes not even close.

[@peteyoung7665]

Lynch can't play guitar.

[@artheriford]

Too much coke, and too much smoke
