If someone is offended...that's their problem...period!...much respect Don!

[@stevent7944]

As a vocalist myself I have NEVER understood WHY the heck a singer would smoke cigarettes????

[@bobowrathsovine.]

Yeah Don just recovered from throat cancer like 8 years ago and is back puffing away. What a dummy

[@TheMichaelseymour]

yes....and especially in the current fitness mad climate ....its very strange

[@ZoomZoom-ng6sn]

Hundreds of singers from the 1930's to 80's smoked cigarettes. Don comes from another time period, hippie days. -------- Look at Nat King Cole, he intentionally smokes to achieve a particular sound in his singing voice. There's all kinds of reasons out there.

[@deckert618]

Don is America 40 years ago. I miss that time.

[@MrMatthiasSchneider]

I've been watching a few of these recent Don Dokken interviews. He's become your crazy uncle just ranting wildly at Thanksgiving. It's wild. Entertaining though!

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

Nah, just seems like a cool dude with common sense and interesting dialogue to hang out with. Nothing crazy about that.

[@MrMatthiasSchneider]

@@goodmorningsundaymorning4533 Isn''t he supposed to be promoting a new album? He's talking about anything but that in these interviews.

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Crazy Uncle ranting? Huh? He was directly asked a question about his thoughts on a subject and answered it and gave his opinion. Not quite the definition of a rant.

[@wtpattonjr]

Fun interview! Jessica Hahn was in the “Wild Thing” video, not Tawny Kitaen.

[@artistsonrecord]

😂 Don Got confused

[@theophany1770]

​​@@artistsonrecordLove the guy but he does that a lot. He mentioned in an interview that Nancy Pelosi just died. Pretty sure he meant Diane Feinstein

[@thebangbrothersband3859]

@theophany1770 yeah he seems like kind of a dumbass

[@MrMatthiasSchneider]

@@artistsonrecord And then he called Tawny Kitaen "Shawny Kitaen" 😅

[@artistsonrecord]

Even though I knew Tawny very well, I had to sit back and smile about it.:) Tawny was a great person and friend, I know she would be laughing too.

[@wtpattonjr]

I have a funny Dokken story. In 1996, I had seen the band UFO-reunited with Michael Schenker-at a rock club in Springfield, Virginia called Jaxx. After the show, I was in the parking lot and I looked up at the club’s marquee sign to see who was going to play the club the next day and it was Dokken but they had misspelled the band’s name on the sign as “Dockin,” as in what one does when parking a boat! I laughed as I thought that this might be a real “Spinal Tap”moment for Don and the boys when their bus pulled in that parking lot the following afternoon.

[@toddpattison]

Oh man .. I wish hadn't missed this one... Dokken is in the top 3 most influential groups for myself.. Don's voice and georges guitar..pure magic

[@darbimetalqueen]

Don Dokken has always had and has the voice of a Rock God! Dokken was postered on my walls and is still my favorite today! There's no voice that compares!!!

[@user-km4ul2ry4d]

I love it all Don you keep it 💯 and keep it coming!

[@wjatube]

You have to be careful saying out loud what we're all thinking. Guaranteed someone on this comment board will say it's because we all have hate in our hearts. Meanwhile, when we do identify something that IS actually offensive regarding exposing our children to sexual proclivities we are told we are the problem. God I hate our society now.

[@user-km4ul2ry4d]

We all loved Sam and the dice man the good old days!

[@kenairockband]

As an artist it’s up to you to decide what you’re selling. If the times are changing and you can’t market what you used to then perhaps you should get out or continue to grow as an artist to meet the market of today

[@williamb.8059]

Sam was on his way to Laughlin, NV.

[@williamb.8059]

Don would you comment on the Mid East conflict if you lived in the Fairfax District?

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

Pop and rap music certainly doesn't hold back. Just the ones with common sense are being shut down.

[@spiritmediumdaniel7161]

that was Jessica Hahn who was in wild thing.

[@franklinfx]

"CC and Deville" ...LMAO

[@ZoomZoom-ng6sn]

Looks interesting seeing SoCal accent converse with Northeast Accent.

[@DEFKONSIXTYSIXlml]

Glam lives matter don!!

[@franklinfx]

Jessica Hahn was in the wild thing video not Tawney Ketan.....If youre gonna call someone ugly, at least know who the hell youre talking about Don

[@6StringBuckeye917]

Most of Kinneson's shtick wouldn't fly but not anything irreverent to God. That is encouraged these days more than ever.

[@ZoomZoom-ng6sn]

I'm still careful with what I say out there. I don't have enough resources or power to protect my livelihood.

[@kawada1]

You can say whatever you want. But freedom of speech doesn't mean there is no freedom from repercussions or consequences.

[@williamb.8059]

Kinison was cool, Dice pretends he's Italian. Sad.

[@NaturalMystic69]

Dice never appealed to me. One or two of his jokes got a chuckle from me but I just never found him very funny.

[@crissrails7539]

wow Don got old

[@ZoomZoom-ng6sn]

He's in his 70's in case you've forgotten. He comes from old school times and can still rock in modern times.

[@realitymister]

Don is a good guy who unfortunately has been damaged by TDS.

[@laidbacktraveler2580]

Yes, we have the right to free speech - but that doesn't free you from the consequences of that speech.

[@freepressright]

And that has become extreme and ridiculous because some people have infantile sensibilities -- or are professional crybabies.

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

Depending if it fits the agenda. You think rap and pop are careful with words?

[@sirlawrence9161]

Then you don't have real freedom of speech.

[@erichani1]

Don stop smoking

[@user-zn7su5ei6s]

That's funny. There are people that thinks this mc an sing lol

[@thebangbrothersband3859]

Dokken has a terrible reputation

[@dw2367]

Yeah, he's irrelevant. I loved the music, but don't care much for his personal or political opinions. Interesting with his throat issues, he's still smoking, and drinking his tasty beverage out of a college frat-house red cup.

[@l.rongardner2150]

How so?
