Tim Ripper is simply Amazing . Underrated

[@Joe-ic2qt]

Tim really did a great job on this song... Wow!!!!

[@rockinrosie5687]

I enjoyed hearing Ripper put the Hell is home vocal to this one! I was lucky and got to see him front JP and he was incredible and still is.

[@akmalanyprak3965]

Its a great song to sing , Together at a sports bar where everyones enjoying the beer.

[@johnkolinoff8591]

every ONE HAS THERE own opinion about the way RIPPER sang this tune I personally think HE NAILED IT---------!!!!!

[@akwabutra]

awsome twist of the original

[@Ogscottyp]

Alex Ryan Yeah. fuck the haters.

[@bubbatha]

Tim fucking Owens rules. He tore this song up. Sounds better than ever.

[@ericcastaneda1135]

Whaaaaaat? This is amazing!

[@larslevinberget9558]

Maybe this is closer to what George had in mind, writing that album, sending cassette tapes back and forth?

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

Great sound!! Ripper’s adaptation is very good. This singer is a beast. A different twist to the original but, I sure as hell can still listen to it while working out. Love the Lynch, and Mason combinations

[@screamengine]

I like it heavier like this, but I also prefer John Corabi to Vince Neil in Motley Crue. But the original is the original. Sucks to have to compare when in both cases, both are great in their own respect.

[@nicholasbrowne9541]

Really digging it

[@vincentduarte8453]

It’s hard to cover Dokken the original four had magic

[@pbasser2]

George Lynch….🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@dariovargas8843]

Ripper sounds a bit like dio in this song :0

[@JSwin_]

Pretty sure that's why he's famous

[@stevenrathbun5421]

They are not trying to copy the original but putting their own twist on it 😉

[@waynewells359]

Way fucking meaner and Heavier ! 😈

[@Joe-ic2qt]

Wayne Wells , I agree

[@trendmassacre8423]

Ripper gives it that evil, haunting affect with his vocals.

[@trendmassacre8423]

This ain't supposed to be 100% in comparison to the original, it's a remake, granted 3 out of the 4 members are accounted for. They weren't trying to match everything note for note, or vocal for vocal. I am not sure why everyone is comparing this to the original, it's different, so shut thy mouths.

[@tomlarrabee7461]

Everybody always has to get into comparing Sebastian Bach to Don Dokken. It's not about that. For those fans of both Skid Row and Dokken from old, it's just neat to hear Sebastian do Don's song. It does not take away from Don's greatness nor Sebastian's greatness. It's like if we heard Jon Bon Jovi do a version of Poison's "Every Rose Has it's Thorn". That would be really interesting. Wires cross in my brain. Now I gotta hear Don Dokken do "I remember you".

[@lukemanify]

Ripper never fails but this time he's off his comfort zone

[@trendmassacre8423]

How do you know? He sounds comfortable singing this song, plus I am sure he would have said so if he was.

[@ESPecialEntertainment]

to hear a Dokken song with Judas Priest vocals is strangely awesome.

[@RJ-op2vd]

I agree 🤘

[@tdrewke]

I don't know where the sour grapes are coming from, this perf is not weak at all. I do wonder about the key, but overall, crisp metal rock. On this cut, vocal reminds me of Ronnie James Dio. Excellent technical recording too, much better than old Dokken stuff here on u-T. And face it, lead gtr is smokin!

[@vladlashing]

Back for the attack is one of the best recorded metal albums of the era ... you sir are fucking deaf

[@ALex-cs6mj]

if dokken was and is a Bad singer, how do all this high class singers on this Album fail so Hard? Ripper was 1000x better with priest and malmsteen

[@BrandonEht]

The only one who can well was Sebastian Bach in my opinion. Also Don is amazing

[@johnkolinoff8591]

A. Lex. YEP right on..

[@trendmassacre8423]

HA! You are obviously tone deaf. 1. Don Dokken is one of the best rock singers to come out of the 80's. 2. Ripper's vocals are fucking killer on this song! 3. you meant "these high class singers" not "This" why don't you go listen to some modern country music if you want shit to complain about.

[@KnockAndAskToday]

Production sheen is missing on this one. It sounds like something recorded in someones bedroom studio. Digital has made it affordable to record and put out material that is lower than demo quality so should never see the light of day.

[@VintageGuitars24]

What's with the extra overlay of vocals? Doesn't sound right

[@susanboggetto521]

He sounds horrible !!

[@FiendishlyDelightedSefto]

Blame the producers, not musicians

[@trendmassacre8423]

@@susanboggetto521 I bet you couldn't do any better!

[@skogaholmslimpan]

Owens is a bit over-the-top, but I still like it.

[@salamwati9281]

I just hoped from now on classic & 80's era bands never detuned..it pisses me off..otherwise the original feel we associate with them is gone..still in awe of Ripper trying to put a Dio*Priest spin on this..no haters please i liked this but just not in favor of detuned sound.🤗

[@trendmassacre8423]

I agree, re-recording songs and down tuning them is a fuck lord thing to do.

[@SeanPFarley]

Yikes. I was expecting so much more. This sounds like if "Back for the Attack" went to Broadway. If he held back just a little, it'd be amazing. BUT, with that said, Don's voice is not one that can be copied, so I like that Ripper is going for his own version here. I like it. Those wails are intense.

[@bluehavencd]

Not as good as the original, but still damned good. Love Ripper.

[@Steele_Hard]

Is just another song, Tim didn´t get the original touch, I prefer further Don Dokken on vocals, Tim is just singing this as everything without soul, where´s the magic? Anyway, George Lynch is doing an awesome work as always!

[@Buzz7saw]

George's solo on this version sucks ass. His tone is horseshit.....

[@Steele_Hard]

+Steve Smith maybe a new arrangement for a new voice, Mr Scary still kick arses!

[@cofieleven]

this version is awesome

[@vladlashing]

the original album is one of the best produced/tones ever ... so yeah agree.

[@Lagartometal1]

DIO ?????

[@emesbex]

It should have been someone like Sebastian Bach, Blaze Bayley, Tobias Sammet, Timo Kotipelto, or Jeff Pilson singing this... love Ripper's voice, but it totally doesn't work for this...

[@JHinsonMusic]

Blaze Bayley? lol

[@lukemanify]

Jeff has made Just Got Lucky so damn good

[@mitchelltheawesome1]

Not even Ripper Owens can save this cover.

[@MSTmike3k]

Vanden Plas nailed this cover better

[@danalexander2478]

i had to check it out................... i dont think so. but what i do think is if tim let it fucking fly......but with the band vanden plas....THAT is how you create musical decapitation

[@sergioponce1317]

Non musicians always say stuff like “no soul” “no feeling”, bullshit! Ripper nailed it. Don Dokken transformed a power metal band into a glam pop bs.

[@JHinsonMusic]

I like it, but the original is much better - the vocals aren't supposed to be this heavy

[@thomaswoltman9615]

I heard better sound out of my......I could sing this better. Stick to the original. This album was a beast back in the day

[@kartikayysola]

Look, I love Ripper, but him singing this song is like a bull in a china shop.

[@all4Hisgloryalone2Tim215]

The production quality is horrid

[@southernhotmess9817]

White hot....

[@carsonmccoy1745]

This is decent but ripper is not even close to the singer don was

[@FiendishlyDelightedSefto]

Different styles... Don is a pop singer compared to the gritty power of Jeff Pilson and Tim... he's got the the pipes

[@FiendishlyDelightedSefto]

He's got the pipes that out sing Dons range

[@trendmassacre8423]

Both are 2 different style singers, moron. That's like comparing Rob Halford to Bon Jovi

[@hubertcooper1391]

The original version is better.

[@LuisRosa72]

Jesus, what's with the downtuning? I prefer the original by a mile.

[@markwadd3025]

Go away ripper

[@kinghanuk]

Tim's vocals do not suit the song at all and George simplified the solo way too much. No thanks.

[@ALex-cs6mj]

Hanuk Park and what the fuck happend to his sound. this is awful. my line6 Spider III can Do this better...

[@laeldestan1536]

Musically it's not bad but Owens is wasted on this cover. He's basically holding back his power and he's better than that.

[@FiendishlyDelightedSefto]

I felt like that when I was singing motley crue songs after Rob halford songs... I would sing motley crue songs in my range... because talk singing is not my thing... I thought shout at the devil sounded mean way way up 3 to 4 octaves higher then Vince Neil sings

[@MrJESSROX]

George 's tone is poopy.

[@88hemann]

No feeling no soul in the vocals... No passion just forced... He sucks.

[@laeldestan1536]

Bullshit.

[@juancarlosibarra3245]

horrible!

[@_DrScream]

Al principio pensaba lo mismo, pero tiene su encanto. 😩

[@fortj3]

This version blows dog

[@ricardocalzada8863]

NEGATIVE VOCALS

[@SuperDenonciateur]

Dokken is not heavy metal.
