There IS hope for the future. Thanks for the Dokken respect. Makes a 47-year-old metalhead smile. Consider yourself saluted. You're not "about to rock," you just rocked.

[@bobbyyost7121]

Ya reckon all these year's since they split in 88 all those hair bands are washed up Dokken would endure to stand the test of time

[@jimdavignon]

Best Dokken cover I've heard. A+. Trust me, I've heard 1,000's

[@Cylance-ji9tn]

No need to trust you - I've heard'em all - and These guys here killed the shit BIG TIME❗😜 🤘AWESOME🤘

[@frodoculies]

so good hey

[@rgcazo]

Agreed. Just awesome

[@scottnoricsson2023]

yes, they did a good job of covering the song, but I think this one sounds better (especially since it's live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX3XeGmnptF6hdE

[@DBoyyxD]

Srdjan Teofilovic IMHO........…………………………… This is better 😆

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

You Guys KILLED IT !!!!!

[@mrguitar5051]

THAT THEY DID! wowowowowowowowowowow! lol

[@j.p.f.4007]

This version never gets old. I have been listening to it for years. The second solo is amazing. I love the small tweaks to the original.

[@josephabraham8576]

Such a shame we don't hear guitar playing like this anymore in music, another awesome cover fellas!!!

[@dkkd4439]

Absolutely RIGHT ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

[@accountemail9712]

Dude, don't worry... it's coming back.

[@punicslayer3085]

Look up ambush it shall cure your woes as it did mine.

[@oyc7946]

There's a genre called NWOTHM - New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal. Check out Riot City, High Spirits, Enforcer, Traveler, Skull Fist, Stallion etc

[@guitarist6494]

Man that is fucking awesome, your guitar tone/playing is perfect and the singer is perfect too

[@johnmiranda926]

Guitarist6494 killed it fellas!

[@andreasneuro7331]

Couldn't agree more bro! Simply awesomesauce :))

[@axelkennig3576]

Nothing more ta say !

[@cliftonhumphries8462]

Off the chart awesome

[@bobbydemarko]

[@WilliamTanaka]

This is the closest of perfect that it can get

[@RoccoPezzin]

thanks William!

[@heelsfantim]

Definitely!!

[@lu4enp]

As a big fan of Dokken an Lynch i must say it..... i can't believe it!!!! Your respect for the details is amazing, i love it

[@davidgardiner4620]

Dokken ruled

[@tenac10ac]

Marcelo Prive I agree 💯

[@joaoassis7475]

just a magic band

[@gizz88]

KEEPING 80'S METAL ALIVE!!

[@hollandrocksls]

Wow. just wow. I would pay for an album of dokken covers from you guys the style was so perfect you freaking nailed it please please do more

[@iamhozor]

best Dokken cover ever

[@halroy9610]

I'm a happy 60-year-old. It's awesome to see some young hands covering some damn good music and doing it well.

[@mbgrafix]

OUTSTANDING!!! It's sad that Don can no longer cover his own vocals...but you sure could step in his place and fill the gap! And that guitar...like listening to Lynch!

[@tenac10ac]

Mike Bennett spot on

[@jimmyz2098]

Wow! Just catching this one in March of 2023 - after one he11 of a few years. Man... this is so good!! I mean.... so good!. Gives me hope that some of these young Cats know how to rock! And they're keeping it alive. The guitar playing and vocals in this are absolutely SIKKK! Spot on. But just sikk. You did this justice - and then some! Rock on!

[@semblanceofdisorder]

Wow, I'm having a hard time believing this isn't Dokken it's so perfect. Not to mention the mix itself is also unbelievable!

[@JoseRamos-nw9if]

i've been playing it over again. still hits me through the bones.

[@lisellesloan3191]

Wow! You're better than the originals at this point!

[@samhillband]

So damn good!!!!

[@siskokidd]

Love your covers too, Mark! Make some more!

[@RoccoPezzin]

thanks Mark!!

[@SFBay69]

Damn guys, you 100000% nailed it!

[@LeonTodd]

When are we going to see a Rocco/Mark Day collab?!

[@dannyguida91]

Yea mark I really dig your stuff too. You play great and have a great tone(s)

[@harddlifter]

The next time I'm with George I'm going to show him this video, AMAZING job fellas , I really loved the acoustic jam

[@harddlifter]

You guys keep your eyes out for the new KXM album, I've not even heard solos but songs are amazing!!! Funk, metal, rock, blues blended into great songs

[@poppycock6572]

😢..... at 55 years old? THIS? THIS is a beautiful thing to hear and see ❤.... unbelievably well done!!!! 🙏

[@bonichols8511]

Great Job although i have to say that NOBODY will ever do this as good as Don Dokken. Don's vocals through the 80's was UNTOUCHED to me by anyone, i loved the way his voice sounded & you did an extremely good job on this tune.

[@stoicscorpio3838]

Untouched...except by processors, compressors, aural exciters, and other recording booth trickery...but yeah, other than THAT, his vocals were untouched. LMAO! Just give this dude the credit he so rightfully deserves. He CRUSHED it.

[@little_dreamer4169]

Listen the demo with Jeff Pilson, it’s better than Don Dokken

[@zoltangabordudas4393]

We dont have anything like this from todays "metal" bands.

[@electric5hadow]

Love this. An improvement over the original. The guitars hit harder, and the vocals are more dynamic. You are so frickin’ talented.

[@kevinparrish3740]

I smell a record deal. If i wasnt peepin this for myself i woukd swear DOKKEN is in the house , this is my era , you boyz KICK MAJOR ASS 🎸🎶🎵🎼🍺cheerz

[@cabanasanthony6799]

Hands down these two are not only incredible musicians they are incredible people. This video changed my life. It made me pick up my guitars again after a very long time of not playing at all. Comming across this video changed my life. What an absolute blessing. Followed these guys for years. And currently Valentino is my instructor. What a blessing. .. these two are awesome..

[@MrTbone1025]

I think it's the same guy doing it all! Amazing!

[@Nunya_Business_]

Outstanding cover of my favorite Dokken song, vocals and guitar were excellent!

[@markfisher2683]

I scrutinize the HELL out of covers of bands I LOVE and grew up on- you guys NAILED IT! GORGEOUS- truly! Most impressed- amazing all musicians… and the vocalist reminds me of the lead singer from Hardline. Meant as a true compliment! Bravo guys!

[@RoccoPezzin]

That means a lot, thanks Mark!

Finally someone attempting to sing rock who sounds rock. That guitar is kick ass as well. Sign me up.

[@satchbooggy]

well, that was about badass

[@Crybarcz228]

I’ve got tears bros, just let us know when your tour’n. we’ll all be there with our beers and lighters held high… bravo. Finally someone doing Dokken justice. 🤟

[@WriteForScreen]

Wow, a worthy Dokken cover! Gave me goosebumps!!!

[@zerohope6720]

'23 and i was gonna go see Dokken..came across this,and i know it wont sound like this...awesome!

[@shredfactor7]

That was fucking amazing man... seriously awesome!!!!!!

[@shredfactor7]

Props to the singer as well... amazing pipes

[@stazym69]

Nobody..... will ever top this cover of DoKKen.....

[@richardoaks8333]

This cover made my day ! that intro was perfect!

[@andymcrae5450]

At first thought it was going to be a boring acoustic cover. But then.. The Voice. WOW. the Rythm WOOW. AWESOME. Thanks for sharing.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Also im such a huge Lynch fan and hold him super high on the list of players. But this was better than the original there i said it " mic Drop"

[@RoccoPezzin]

hahaha thanks Robert that's a HUGE compliment dude this whole album is just amazing!!

[@someonehasthisid]

It is a great cover but without the original there would never be a cover so is it really better?

[@jeremymiller3800]

It's amazing but not better.

[@BPoweredLove]

Robert, please calm yourself.

[@Jason-me1bs]

Great cover chaps but what a ridiculous comment.

[@youngkim7787]

Great vocal !Only Don Dokken perfectly fits this song due to his unique nasal sound and mixed soft and husky voice. Nontheless, I heard his perfect sound only in the studio version not in live version.

[@de-Roxx]

how bout beast from the east version

[@jdog6620]

First time seeing this and the dude WENT OFF on the solo! Actually, all of this was awesome. Vocals were frickin on point too.

[@burntvirtue]

I keep watching this. It's so epic, and the Magnum P.I. shirt seals the deal!

[@LowBudgetMan415]

Way to rock, guys! This made me so happy to hear!

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Dokken's music from this time period had a sense of danger and you guys captured it, nailed it rather! Lynch is one of my all-time favourite guitarists and Pilson in my opinion, is one of the most underrated bassists, along with Dug Pinnick.

[@JohnRobbfl]

Without question the best cover of this on the interwebs... You really nailed his tone and playing. Lynch himself couldn't play that so close to the album. 🤘🏻

[@RoccoPezzin]

thanks a lot John!

[@AlexRG8]

Mr Scary lynching vicious guitars and fucking amazing vocals. Your guys are absolutely amazing.

[@jordanjones2046]

Extremely impressed! WOW!

[@trudylambert8775]

...your legs shaking to the rythem (along with your command of the guitar) and his Gold's tank, (and spot on vocals) welllll.... good night. 😘

[@aprilmason1734]

I've seen Dokken live once....always wanted to see them again. They were good, this is probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard.

[@vwbluesky]

I truly am in awe. Just found ya and now I will be rocking this forever........................................

[@jasemccormick3288]

Fantastic playing! You have Lynch's tone, vibrato etc exactly right! As someone else mentioned 'definitely best Dokken cover going around!

[@davidgalland1303]

Banzai! That was absolutely the best Dokken cover Ive ever heard.Im willing to bet that would make Mr.Scary n co.smile.

[@dondrago2654]

I'm a huge Dokken fan. This is awesome!! You guys did a great job with this song!

[@chrismenelly3781]

I'd love to see these guys tour in Dallas TX!!!!!!

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Nooooo! Rocco! What's up!? LOL! Hey man, I LOVE THIS COVER, your playing and the singer kick ass!! The solo was masterful and all Lynch-esque! Great video and props!

[@RoccoPezzin]

thanks Tony!!

[@fabiomanda2154]

Non posso credere alle mie orecchie... Cover pazzesca!!!

[@mygt8a4re]

I know I'm late but this was a killer cover! Brought me back to my 80's!

[@helmutbiehl2454]

Again an incredible performance of both, singer and guitar Player. Absolutely perfect! And that detailed copy of GEORGE LYNCH's guitar solo - unbelievable!

[@daleg.9673]

Yeah, absolutely terrific cover!

[@mikegrassman4773]

Dokken needs these guys IN DOKKEN....

[@HardRock471]

Holy shit. Incredible

[@sw4841]

Nailed it…. Love it!!!

[@juliAnarchist]

man this cover is tight! fucking awesome, you guys destroyed it!

[@solothesolos]

Incredible cover. For one moment I thought this was the original!

[@rgcazo]

Wow. Just Wow. That was absolutely fantastic. One of the best covers I've ever heard. Great singing and the guitar tone is amazing. Just wow.

[@unit0122]

Bro this is the best cover of this song I've ever seen. It's just like the record!

[@derrylgabel]

Wow, you guys knocked it out the park!!! You think you might ever do Tierra Del Fuego? I was the guest soloist on that tune.

[@MrPyroguru]

+Derryl Gabel, You should play these songs with your style of legato with your own ideas. I would love seeing your style injected into eighties music. Music then was awesome!

[@scottydog62]

Derryl Gabel hey Derryl! I love your playing on that song! That was one of the best albums of all time some awesome music with guest singers and guest players I will remember is an absolute classic, I remember what George Lynch said about you, you are an incredible guitar player but a shity driver LOL

[@andreperron8466]

Tierra Del Fuego awsome piece of art

[@skummtoons6686]

You're the guy? Great album, except for Mandy Lions vocals.

[@notacommie5415]

Lol! And I run across you here on KZbin. I killed my Facebook. Good to see ya going. Keep the emails coming brotha.

[@catlanzuliani2157]

Goose bumps fellas. Holy shit thats a deadly cover

[@jessefildesmusic]

Epic! Such a killer riff

[@RoccoPezzin]

thanks Jesse! that riff is just badass!

[@CarlosRamTx]

Wow. Awesome. I know this was done years ago but it just popped up in my feed. Great job!!

[@RoccoPezzin]

Hey thanks Carlos!

[@TheTacticalRedneckHD]

Pezzin! You guys have nailed Lynch and Dokken again! You should give Night by Night a go.

[@monickalynn4365]

Whoa. 1985 this was released? I CAN NOT believe this, Time doesn't fly it hauls ass!!! Great cover!!! This song is epic,classic

[@megnadh]

F***ing killer stuff !!!

[@xlr8r2010]

I have never heard a better cover of this song.....outstanding job, 10 out of 10! 🤘

[@patrickkelly864]

George Lynch might be giving you a call if he sees this video, man that was a great cover.

[@MovieMakes]

And another day of watching! You guys need to record more Dokken! You guys ROCK!!

[@Samhaim1234]

amazing this is better than real dokken this days

[@thefuzzman]

That was frikkin phenomenal! I could close my eyes and swear I was listening to the original album! Vocals were absolutely perfect, as if Don himself were singing. Same with guitar, perfect channeling of George. 🤘💀🤘

[@bobbydemarko]

there is no high pitch scream at the end of the solo ; but hey, guess what, that's why this one is way way more metal!

[@joshburns4611]

I think Don should've sang like this guy instead of doing those screams he always did. He might still have a voice. This was fucking awesome. I mean, there's no denying Don's talent to be able to go that high, but in the long run showing off isn't worth killing your voice. Just because you *can* do it doesn't always mean you should.

[@theuzairbaig]

It feels like a live version of Dokken. WOW

[@Sankaritarina89]

wow, perfect! great solo!

[@giorgospapadopoulos6806]

ΕΙΣΑΣΤΕ ΦΟΒΕΡΟΙ!!!ΕΙΜΑΙ FUN ΤOY DOKKEN ΚΑΙ ΤΟΥ GEORGE LYNCH ΕΙΣΑΣΤΕ ΤΟ ΚΑΤΙ ΑΛΛΟ!!!ΜΠΡΑΒΟ!!!!

[@vanguard4065]

[@ChucksterOLove]

BADASS! Amazing guitar playing AND awesome vocals. Thank you, you just made my day. 😀

[@alchase5062]

[@danieldmramos]

Nem me lembro se já comentei neste vídeo, mas escuto direto e vocês diabolizaram o bagulho, caralho, eu cago a calça cada vez que ouço esta versão. Velho, vcs são muito fodas.

[@johnjackson3554]
