#dokken #fugitive #heavencomesdown
An unapologetic celebration of everything Dokken do best, yet now through a wiser and richer lens, Heaven Comes Down, the 13th studio album from the legendary American rockers, will be released on October 27, 2023 (Silver Lining Music).
“The long anticipated new Dokken album, ‘Heaven Comes Down’, is finally done and the first single is titled ‘Fugitive’!” declares Don Dokken. “The inspiration for the lyrics came from what seems to me to be an uncertain world these days. It’s an up-tempo Rokker as are many on the album. I don't know what the future holds for our world, so I decided to take a step back and watch it all unfold… Yes, I guess I've become like many these days a fugitive from life. Hence the title!”
“The song rocks and the lyrics are self-explanatory,” continues Don, “like many songs I've written, it came to me late at night. Inspiration and pure stream of consciousness have always been the best formula for me when composing. It has that classic Dokken sound… A great song to blast when driving down the highway.”
Video directed by Chris Eyre (Dark Winds, Smoke Signals) at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Video by Tom Strickfaden.
You want to rock? Sink your teeth into ‘Fugitive’, which rides some shimmering guitar work courtesy of 20+ year member Jon Levin, and if you want ballads, head on over to ‘I’ll Never Give Up’, hanging on that Coliseum chorus, Levin laying down a landmark solo. The pattern of Heaven Comes Down never falters in delivering the goods on both sides of the fence. ‘Just Like A Rose’ brings the Pacific Coast Highway to desert plains with its smooth, effortlessly-driven gears, and ‘Saving Grace’ carries a mystical malevolence. But ‘Santa Fe’ is perhaps the most revealing with Don Dokken opening up with what amounts to a ‘life-moment biography’: a spartan acoustic arrangement allowing the rich yet road-driven vocals to frame what might well prove to be the defining moment of Dokken’s career.
Mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa) and produced by Bill Palmer and Don Dokken, fans will love it, neutrals will be wonderfully surprised by some of the ingredients within Heaven Comes Down. Heaven Comes Down will be released on CD Digipak, 12” Vinyl Album in Black and colour variants, digital formats and special D2C products and bundles. Available to pre-order from August 8th 2023 here: lnk.to/DokkenH...

I am 57. I first heard Dokken in 1984 when I was 18. Dokken has been with me through college, marriage, kids, work........
Ditto!!! only difference is I'm 63. 84-87 was best when we hit the 20 age bracket. Still listen to metal. Randy
Same. I’m 57 and first saw them at the Country Club in Reseda Ca. I saw all the 80s Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal bands at that place
53 here saw them in '88 I was 17 Monsters of Rock Alpine Valley.
Wir haben das gleiche Alter Rick , junge wie die Zeit vergeht 😂. Bei uns in Deutschland waren sie leider nicht so populär, hab mich dann richtig gefreut dass ich sie 88 auf Tour mit acdc erleben durfte 👍
Gotta respect Don. He has had many health releated issues in recent years so I was a bit surprised that they managed to make another studio album. All the best, still Rokken with Dokken after all these years!
This is called greatness! Artistic and creative greatness!
Pre ordered both the cd and the vynl!!! Got any special bundles? I'll order that shit too !
Any new metal these days is welcome!🤔
Jman
Original singer too
Wasn't aware of his health issues, glad to see him rockin 🎉
I’m always nervous when an older band comes out with new tunes, but damn this kicks ass!
For sure - love it
Same here! I literally had no expectations, but this one blows my mind.
He's making music with his CURRENT vocal abilities, not trying to be something he isn't.
I hope more singers will embrace this attitude (e.g. Stephen Pearcy, Joe Elliott, etc.)
@@Varrok-up4zf don't forget about Geoff Tate. That dude has forgotten that it's ok to age gracefully.
Put on any recent Stryper tunes and thank me later...
@@rawnbadillo9886I actually haven’t dug into them hardly at all. I’ll check it out
This is old school Dokken. Great guitar, bass and drums solid and Don delivering some lyrics I can relate to as a 60 year old man. Seeing his memories in the video just reminded me that life is short. Enjoy it because it slips away before you know it.
The mirror and TVs, yes! I feel like the inside of Don's head would be considerably darker, but the retrospective and trippy scenery convey a nice light touch, to me. Also, the vintage VFX... yeah, just yeah.
So true bro. love that they can come back and give us a glimpse back to our heydey. always miss those times but also cherish every day now with loved ones. with age comes wisdom
Maybe it should be called Don Dokken, there are no other originial players except him. However the sound is there!!!
@@metalmike570- So is the guitar playing. This guy isn’t George Lynch but he’s pretty damn good!
Jon Is Amazing @@metalmike570
Finally...somebody's tapped back into the power of 80s Metal 🤘🤨
Winger. Extreme, and Guns N Roses have new videos out this year too. =)
I don't give a shit in my mind he's a god
@@RockFan89 Winger???? GTFOH.
UGH.
I'd like so wine to go with that cheese
@@RockFan89Haaaaaaa
Amen #dokkenrules
I worked for Don at 710 Studios years ago. Glad he is still making music. Good song Don!
I visited there in 1998. Don wasn't there, but Jack Russell & Michael Lardie were, and Rob Easterday.
That's pretty cool, what kind of work did you do? if you don't mind me asking
@@brettpoe3069 No don't mind at all. I worked there in the early '90s. 710 was a Recording and Practice Studio, I was the Manager/Engineer, I set up gear, repaired gear, did maintenance on equipment, tuned Don's guitars, booked the rehearsal space, Wine gopher, etc. The best part of the gig was who would show up there. Of course all the original members of Dokken, Mick Brown, Jeff Pilson, and even George Lynch. It was the first time Don and George had been in the same room together since the split. Dio (RIP) showed up one day and hung out with Don. The guys from Great White had the space right across the parking lot from 710, they would stop over when they were in town. George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic dropped in with the band to lay down a track on their way to the UK. A few others were Mother Love Bone used the rehearsal side during their first Album. Robin Thicke tracked his Demo there with Don's help he went on to get signed. The who's who of the South Bay rock crowd made their way in to hang out. I have great memories of my time there, hanging out with the original band was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and there was way too much to put it all here.
@@brettpoe3069Custodian.
I've never understood how some bands look back with disdain for 80's melodic rock...like there is something wronh with it ?!?! I NEVER tire of this sound , and judging by how many young people i see in their cars rocking 80's hair metal id say that history will prove it is some of the MOST LOVED and best selling music of all time. Hats off to Don for staying true to his roots and the sound that we Dokken fans LOVE !!!! This songs proves Don can still write hits and still is doing what he loves in spite of some health and age challenges - thanks to Dokken - and i will be buying this when it's released on CD - and I'll keep rokken with Dokken !!!!!
Yes it is amazing how bagging the past by people who were part of it has now become a sport ? They were great days and all had fun and unlike grunge it was a Good Time For all.
Yeah, I never understood people who trash talk 80s rock/metal. Even during the 90s, although there were some great bands, I thought the general scene was too pretentious and lacked the fun, playfulness of 80s music (and 80s fashion). People teased me for listening to 80s music instead of "The Current Thing," but history is in the process of vindicating bands like Dokken.
The amusing thing is those bagging it were fowling it and jumped aboard the latest thing . I hated and still do all the grunge rubbish and Nirvana have a lot to answer for .
@@michaelmarshall1713 Grunge music was so lame, and now all these millennial/zoomers wanna bring it back with their trendy Nirvana shirts and those stupid fanny packs. I say bring back big hair and epic guitar solos instead.
@@Sam-lm8gi Do you remember Diving For Pearls ? I like the era as it was the USA versions of The UK Glam Scene . All fun good songs no miserable poor me crap.
New dokken!!?? Holy shit, I renovated my entire house while blasting these guys. They still sound awesome, and they're still Dokken, didn't cave to new trends, they're still the sound I love
Funny- I framed, insulated, hung tin, and ran the electrical for the interior in my shop listening to Dokken, Ratt, Hardline, and Winger. Those were the four cassettes I had out there and I didn’t have a Bluetooth receiver hooked up yet lol
Hey...I'll gladly throw on sum Dokkin so you can come over and renovate MY house! It seriously needs it! I'll even throw in your favorite brew in my fridge for ya!😃😃👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🥁🥁
Maybe it should be called Don Dokken, there are no other originial players except him. However the sound is there!!!
@@stevenvanheel3932 I love this!!
@@stevenvanheel3932 Isn't it nice to put in a cassette and hit play and the song starts? No apps, logins, suggestions, ads, .. .
WOWWW THIS LOOKS LIKE JUST GOT OUT FROM 80’S IT FEELS LIKE THAT WE’RE STILL IN 80’S!!!!!!! AND DON DOKKEN’S VOICE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! GUITARS AND DRUM ALSO SOUNDS LIKE SO 80’S!!!!!!! DOKKEN STILL ROCKS!!!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘 CAN NOT WAIT FOR NEW ALBUM!!!!!!! THIS IS AN AMAZING SURPISE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
🤘🏼
yea it has the Dream Warrior video vibe where they are walking thru the house and hallways.
I don't know what you listened to, but Don's voice is anything but amazing.
Maybe that’s the point. (Not to complicate things)
@@dougcronkhite2113 I won’t be too critical of him. Because after all, he’s in his 70’s and he still putting out music. However, he won’t sound close to this live.
I’ve been a fan since 1983 when I was five. Thanks to my oldest brother for getting me into hard rock. Thanks to Dokken for still making music.
5 years!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Good Bro!
Oh yeah? I've been listening since before they were even a band. Technically since around 1453 but I'm not trying to come off as old.
@@mrfacephone I was there right next to the OG pimps when they smacked the English upside the head and they tucked tail running back to England sipping tea with extended pinkies and Dokken was what we listened to before whooping their asses. I was 2 and had a killer musket! 🤘
I’m totally diggin this song. Gotta remember, Don is like 70-ish. This reminds me of the classic Dokken sound.
He looks good for 70, but I don't see him rocking on stage!!
@@metalmike570 He is partially paralyzed from back surgery, so his stage rocking is not going to be what it used to be
@@SmegHead-yz6sc Then he's turned into Ozzy. Ozzy is 4 years older so I give Don Doken 4 more years left on stage. Ozzy is still the Prince of Darkness in metal and will always be. RIP (Retire In Peace)!!
Almost half a million views in 4 weeks! Nice to see people still Rokken with Dokken!🎸🤘🏻
🤘🤘🤘
~ Locked in for Life ~
Wonderful to see Don doing it his way! Lots of respect, we all grow old and deal with our health as he has in a gracefully. As a cancer patient myself and guitarist for over 40 years, it’s what’s in your heart that matters. Always a huge fan of Dokken, very pleased with this tune…tells it all. Keep going Don, great to see one of my CT boys Zampa on drums….A+…..
Hell yes. I am starting to think people are just envious of his vocal legacy and have nothing better to do but trash him. Could you imagine if Ronnie was still with us and people degraded him for "not being able to sing like he used to do"? I guess this new generation is just really shallow.
BJZ and MgCarvill are bad dudes, used to see them in Maxx Explosion yrs ago with Jimi B,,great band man. From CT as well.
don has one of best voices in the genre ever n still kills it. also one of few old timer bands that still have their old vocalist..wish accept would too, n that halford never left priest etc...o well.
Good to see Don still doing his own thing he enjoys his life making music for his fans a true musician
Although his vocals have aged just like his body he will always remain one of the best singers and most memorable singers of all time.
His music has gotten me throughAll the times of my life life many of times
I've seen Don singing many of times good times and bad a true professional always put his band and this name first he took pride in his work and this music and lyrics will stand the test of time I will always keep Rockin with Dokken
Nothing but mad love and respect for Don Dokken and the band. Tooth and nail will always be one of the best albums to come out of the '80s metal era. Front to back just an amazing record.
This guitarist is kick ass. Killer heavy riffs, meaningful solos full of memorable melodic phrasing. In a time of go as fast as you can guitar players, it's nice to hear a musician go back to the basics and actually play solos with a pleasant hook again. Great song, keeps you coming back to make sure you didn't miss anything.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Levin
@Classic_DM Yes. John Levin is killer.
That would be the very talented guitarist/attorney Jon Levin . Dude is super cool too
Love that guitar
@@toma.4808No kidding, he's amazing
Don is without a doubt an Icon in the music world, a triple threat: Singer, Song Writer & Producer, he knows how to take the most simple word(s) and make a hook but even more he knows what classic Dokken is suppose to sound like and captures it with all iterations of the band. Outstanding work man!
He was also once a fine guitar player. He had decent lead abilities too. Breaking the chains is so unique because it's the only album don plays alongside with George. Dokken sounds better with 2 guitar players
Thank you Dokken!!! The expectations are always a bit high, and “Fugitive” doesn’t disappoint!!! Looking forward to the album!!!
MUCH BETTER VOCALS WAY TO GO DON! PROUD OF YOU MAN!
@@user-ds9jc8sm1bfrr
Great song! ❤
ME TO @@user-ds9jc8sm1b
Total dokken vibe....I'll be purchasing this
Holy crap, the guitar tone, fills and solo are next level. Beautifully balanced and clear.
This is the best Dokken I have heard since the classic mid-late 80's lineup and output. Don's voice sounds great, and Jon Levin is a beast. I can't tell you how much joy it brings me to see a guy my age (an attorney, no less) out there shredding peoples faces off 🎸! Thank you!
Don's voice sounds great?
@@scottstember3933 For 70 you bet your ass.
yes it does.
Don sounds completely horrible and that's with studio effects
@@scottstember3933 Can barely hear his voice. I think they did that for a reason....
Being a professional acoustic drummer for many moons this is currently my favorite song due to the guitar work by Jon Levin and I have always admired Don Dokken. Long live real musicians and Rock and Roll.😊
1. The song is fantastic, sounds like proper old school Dokken
2. The video is so campy ridiculously great, did Michael Scott direct it 😎👍
hahhahahhahahahahahha yesss, i love
Lol very possible…
Great scott production
Agree - sounds like the best of Dokken ☘️😊❤️🙏🫖
The video is cringe. It almost completely ruined the song, but I listened without watching the video and the song is fantastic
Sound is straight from the 80’s, impressive to keep it 80’s in today’s recordings
not really, the drums are still too bombastic and in your face compared to the 80s standard, check out Enforcer "Nostalgia" and hear the difference
I saw them in old town Vegas a couple of years ago, and George guested on a couple of songs. I loved the way Don adjusted his voice to fit his capabilities. They absolutely killed it!! And this song is pretty good.
Absolutely triumphant. If this is to be the last we hear of Dokken, it's a hell of a bittersweet farewell.
All the best to Don and the rest of the band. Your sound is a huge reason the 80s are the pinnacle of American pop culture.
It had to be amazingly awesome, to follow the 70's you had to bring your a game.
Sure Don may be unable to hit those classic highs we all remember and love, but he's been doing it for decades, to me there's still something about his tambre and vocal phrasing that keeps me coming back... His songwriting is all his own, still remains top shelf, and he always finds solid players... Jon IMHO has been the closest to capturing that killer Lynch tone!!!
I'll continue to support his musical vision! 👍🎶🤘
well said. Totally agree about the guitarist and sound
@@juvenalmartinez7960 sometimes I swear it's Lynch had you not told me and I'm a massive Lynch fan. I recall a post where they even met and George said he did those songs justice! It doesn't get any better!
Don has been thru medical hell so it's so great to see him back in action. This tune is 🔥! Jon has proven once again he understands his assignment and what it means to Dokken fans. Keep Rokken Boyz!
Wow. This is bad ass. The last I saw Don was in the Hear n Aid video. there is something about true maturity that gives an even greater weight and respect to all of this.
Ever since their album "Breaking the Chains" I've been hooked. Their new song "Fugitive" is old school with a new groove, and I'm loving it!
Dokken's new album is always welcome... Gives a breath and a touch of nostalgia in these dark days. Thank you.
Yes this song Sounds Good, Nostalgia? well No original members But Don
he should just call this band " Don Dokken" like his 1990 solo Album.
@@MetalHeart8787 reunion happened, but most of bands have no original members (at all) now and they still may comfort you by listening. We need original members to stablish nostalgia? Yeah! Musicians change and move, but they keep walking despite of that... Your point is valid but feelings may came up with music.
Agree.. These days are Dark.. The Music is literally a time machine.
Classic Dokken sounding. Great guitar tone. Jon is a great player.
Don looks great in this video, seems like he's been taking good care of himself. That proves to me the dedication he is showing to be the best he can fronting the band while adjusting the new material to his vocal capabilities giving us a new musical perspective...
He's 70 years old, he said in an interview that he's had some health problems and can't play guitar anymore... I guess he means when he writes he can't play guitar because I never saw him on stage with one.
@@metalmike570 Actually, Don used to play lead guitar before he brought George into the band. After 1983-84, I didn't see him playing rhythm guitar on stage anymore; I guess he wanted to focus on his vocals more at the time. But then, in Dokken's acoustic sessions, he is playing again. He had a botched neck and spinal surgery in 2019, and it caused his right arm and hand to be paralyzed, although he's getting some of the movement back. Poor guy has been through a lot.
@@ForeverMPH Much respect for Don Dokken. I know he was a womanizer back in the day but hey, that's rock n'roll for ya. He was and is still a rock star only older and wiser too. There's a lot of these great old metal bands coming back now. Priest with Halford, Saxon with Byford etc...
I’m so happy to see this group back at it. They were my second concert I ever went to in the 80s at 15 years old when they opened up for Loverboy at a fair. Security let my friend and I go down in ga. We left my mom in the stands as soon as they came on to go rockin with Dokken. Great concert. Dokken still has the same vocals and sounds that they had back in the day.
Cheers to dokken 🎉still
Rocking today 🔥
AMAZING song and video guys!!! Still Rokken with Dokken like it was 1981 again!!! Thank you all for the great music and memories!!! Love the outfit Don… that’s such a classic style… looking very “Back for the attack” … LOVE IT!!! Stay healthy and stay safe!!! God bless you all!!! 🙏🏻🙂🤘🏻😝
I absolutely agree with everything you said, wow! I saw them in St Petersburg Florida I believe it was 2018. That rocked the house as usual Dokken is my number one band☝🏼🩷🩶🩷🩶🩷
@@LittleSuzi86 I’ll bet it did!!! They definitely keep the Rokken in Dokken!!! The last and only time I got to see them was at Monsters of Rock ‘88 … they rocked the stadium!!! I’m guessing by your screen name you went to see Tesla at some point, too!!! 😁 Keep the faith!!! 🤘🏻🎸🔥❤️🔥
@@bblluuddwwuullff3379 Omg I’m so jealous!! ‘88’ Those were the days.🙋♀️
@@LittleSuzi86 LOL 😆… it’s all good… at least you got to see them, too. I use to go to a lot of shows back when I had a lot more energy… and hair!!! 😂 I believe after that tour is when Dokken broke up and formed Don Dokken and Lynch Mob. I don’t remember what band or bands Jeff and Mick went to though. It all seems like a blink ago.. time sure moves fast looking back… but oh the memories and good times!!! 🎸❤️🔥🥰
Oh yes I have seen Tesla many times too, they are awesome! 😁Yes you guessed my RUclips name. 🤘80’s were incredible partying and rock n roll!
Dokken was a huge part of my childhood and teen years. I listen to them to this day. I'm glad to see he's still rockin', even at 70. Don does a lot of reflecting on fame and life, it seems. "It's Almost Over," from over a decade ago, touched on continuing to make music and perform, and now "I'm a fugitive from life," seems to touch on mortality.
They were a part of my teenage years as well. I've always thought that Dokken's songs have a lot of meaning.
Glad to hear Dokken singing like this. I've liked Dokken since I heard Into the Fire in 1984.Dokken Forever.
Very surprised at how good Don’s voice sounds on this record. I don’t know whether this is a result of studio knob twiddling or Don is really getting his voice back, (I sincerely hope it’s the latter), but it’s always great to hear some new Dokken stuff. This is great.
Probably mix of both love don hope his voice returns in some capacity he is older wishing him the best
You can't expect to hear the voice he once has.voices change with age.Don did an excellent job with this song.
maybe you should research his medical issues. it is more than just age.
Impressive and true to their sound throughout. Big props to Don and the boys.
Great song. Jon Levin is fantastic. I absolutely love his playing. Pure fire.
I saw these guys not too long ago and they killed it! We all thought Don sounded really good. The pipes may not be as strong as they were as back in the day but he still did the songs justice and got the job done. Jon Levin was amazing too! All members sounded rock solid! Definitely be on the lookout for Dokken in your town. They were easily the best sounding band on the bill.
To be able to fight back from what he's gone through, and continue to put out great music like this, is just unbelievable. God bless you Don. Thank you for keeping the spirit alive.
He has been through a lot with his health problems.
Songs like this is why Dokken is still one of my favorite bands. Their albums are the soundtrack to my life, and the journey has been amazing these past 45 years. Definitely getting the new album.
Loved Dokken from day one, phenomenal musicians, singer and band🤘🤘🎸🎸 Don has had alot of health challenges in recent years but bless him he has come through them like the true trooper he is🙏🙏 Fantastic song guy's ❤️❤️ You still ROCK 🤘🤘
Don delivers what he promised, old school sounding Dokken. Can’t wait for album! Rokken with Dokken forever
Those power chords and licks, wow. Great production/effects supporting Don's vocals too. This is solid Dokken right here -- take it from an old-fart 80s metalhead who's been a fan of theirs from the start. Thank you Dokken!!
Huge prior Dokken fan. This reminds me of the Up from the Ashes era. Great work Don and to the the rest of Dokken.
Considering that was all Don and this is all Don......
U BETTER STILL BE A DOKKEN FAN
Prior? Sell out .
Oh for fucks sake. Grow up. @@Berighteousone
Dude...don't be so cringey. @@ToriS61910
Don has brought us some really great tunes through the years. This is another one! I'm glad Don is still writing, singing, and sharing his music!
Don’s vocals sound really good & strong there 👍🏻!! Good for him 👍🏻!!
the studio makes magic, but alive is so pathetic
Strong? I dont think so.... you can tell he is not putting much effort into the vocals...
Lots of respect for Don. Despite health issues, he's still rawkin and putting out music. This one doesn't disappoint. Can't wait to hear the new album.
Dokken welcome back . Great song . Your one of my favourite bands . I’m so lucky to get another album from you as are your millions of fans around the world. Can’t wait to buy it . Keep on rockin don you still have it
I like the fact that this kind of bands come back again with a new album. The song is great!!!
What a song... I'm addicted to it!
After over 40 years, DOKKEN still ROCKS!
Things are always changing- but one thing that always stays the same is Dokken’s ability to create amazing, melodic rokken songs!
Diffently got the melody and the voice to go with it
Rokken with Dokken!
Fantastic song from Dokken! Don’s voice is so good, Jon has become an amazing guitarist, and the whole band sounds wonderful. Very happy to see and hear Don doing so well, especially after all his health problems. We’re still Rokken with Dokken!
There's the Dokken I've loved for years. So glad to hear new music from them.
Dokken! The most underrated band of all time. Should be among the giants of metal.
Don Dokken is a master of melody. Say what you will about his voice here, but those vocal melodies stick with you. Guitarist is great, too. Sounds like Dokken of old, only with an older Dokken. I'll buy this when it comes out.
He actually doesn't sound to bad. They did wonders in processing maybe. But I like it that saying was good
I heard he had vocal cord surgery? Among other issues
This is now one of my favorite Dokken songs along with so many classics! This band perfectly aged like fine wine.
Can't wait to hear the full album!
Saw these guys a few times in the 80’s and they were the best sounding concert I’ve ever heard. Boston was the first album I ever bought.
good old Dokken, excellent band, they did not lost their essence, love your song. Greetings from Brazil
I am 50, a Dokken fan since 1980s, and I can't stop crying. After several bad Dokken albums, Don Dokken the legend without George Lynch Jeff Pilson and Mick Brown will be releasing Dokken's new album. I just watched this new video from the album, it is a total attempt for returning to the roots.Very good song, with truly classic unique Dokken melodies. Once we were all young. Long live Dokken!
I think the only bad album was shadowlife the last 3 were badass imho
I really liked Reb Beach on Erase The Slate
Broken bones is very good
Dokken opened up for all the big 80's bands.. Then did their own headline tour.. Ive seen them at least 10 times. Always a good show.
This rocks!!
Don is honestly in as good a shape here as he was on Lightning Strikes again ! The song also has the classic Dokken sound, the lyrics are introspective and the symbolism of Don sitting on a throne under the Dokken Logo is not lost on me!
Excited to hear the full album 💜
Aww, this feels like those days, when i heard dokken for the first time... As soulfull and theatrical in it's musical movie vibes, as my favorites "unchain the night" "it's not love "the hunter", "dream warriors" "standing in the shadow" "too high to fly"...
don dokken is quite a personality..love his width, intelligence, and his sense of humor. And most of all, who set the record straight of being a fundamental singer/songwriter of his time, who set the standards 🎸🎙️😎
Thank you so much for giving us new music and for all these years you guys have given us, the fans!!! Here's a toast for even more years to come, cheers, congrats, and may God always bless Dokken, it's rokken with Dokken!!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊
Get it Don✊😎
Wow!! This song is amazing!! Very old school!! Sweet guitar licks! Brought me back in time!! 🖤😻🖤🤘🏼🖤
Amazing Yessa!
@@MnzGmzdefinitely gave me chills! I MISS THE 80’S!!! 😿
Still "Rokken with Dokken" after 40 years! This has an awesome sound!
Fan since 83. I was there for everything metal. I knew the moment I heard Don and the band, we would all grew older together. I still listen to all their albums on vinyl and the turntable. This is great American Metal. Stay true and keep rocking.
About time the youtube algorithm did something right. I haven't been following any bands current, just listening to awesome stuff, like Dokken. So I had no idea a new album was coming. Sounds absolutely grand and that guitar work just hits the spot 👌
Great work guys. Glad to hear you're still nailing it after all these years.
To Don Dokken direct. You ARE the legend that you seek to be in this video. You deserve to rest and enjoy your body of work. I am a nobody. But your band inspired me to be creative in 1985. You Mr. Dokken are pretty cool. To all the others out there that feel the same..I salute you. I don't do likes and all that stuff. But ..Don Dokken is a badass ...I aint saying another word
I’ve been a Dokken fan for 35 years. I mean this is really good!
I saw this thumbnail and was hesitant at first based on Don's health and what he's had to overcome. This song is amazingly good! It sounds like it can fit right into Up From the Ashes IMO. Great song...strange video but great song. I needed something new from my genre! This is it!
I'm glad to see he's donning (no pun intended) a Cross of Christ .. and I pray he's found Faith in such. I ABSOLUTELY want to attend CONCERTS in Heaven ... like a double-header with STRYPER (check out their track 'Blood From Above' .. amazing)
I'm reminded of the great song "TILL THE LIVING END".
Nothing is coincidence.
Dokken is my all-time favourite rock band, with Don at the helm.
I was also thinking up from the ashes.

Saw him in a concert about a few weeks ago and he seemed to be doing well!
Fuck that doctor that butchered Don! Don is back amen!
Great tune. Don's Voice is rocking it.. Jon's guiatart playiing great as usual
That's a nice song. I'll be 60 yrs old next month and still listening to DOKKEN since back then early 80's until now 2023. This is one of my all time favorite bands too. In My Dreams is my #1 song from them. Awsome band and music from back in the good ole days. Take care Don. I'm Luvvin and Rokkin with Dokken Forever!❤️🤘🤙👌🤗 09/18/2023
私は26歳です。2016年に日本に来た時にショーを観られたことは幸運でした。人生で最も忘れられない時間でした。私は80年代を知らないけれど、今新しい曲が聴けることが幸せです。
また日本に来てくれることを願っています。
HUGE shoutout to Jon Levin’s writing and playing skills! Highly under-acclaimed artist! 🤘🤘
Thank you for not using :::::: criminally underrated
@@daveg4236 :D
He is very good at sounding like George, I will say that. I am a fan of his playing.
@@mbreinin In a way he sounds more like George than George himself. During the reunion it was obvious how George just wasn't the same guitarist anymore. His style changed and doesn't fit Dokken currently. Levin though, fits like a glove
@@MichaelHolmgaard I think George also improvises way too much, his parts hardly ever sound the same as on the record. Jon nails it though, much better live player, he hits every note just like on the album.
...and as the light began to fade upon the 80s
...and the many surrendered in fear and despair
...a remnant hung on!
Refusing to surrender!
Refusing to die!
They pierced the darkness with the shining light of their battlecry...
We refuse to die!
No! We will not go quietly!
And so the 80s were reborn within a new era
Bringing with it the sound that had decades ago launched an era.
80s METAL!
UNREAL. l saw them in 1986 and Don sounds just as good today. This is a Masterpiece,sick playing and MONSTER riffs too. A brilliant,memorable song with gorgeous hooks and catchy riffs. Pure 80s feel to the video too,respect for the Master,Don Dokken.
I am 30 years old, and my mom, may she rest in peace, got me in to Dokken at an early age, since Dokken was her favorite band. She saw Dokken many times in the 80's too. I love this song and the new album! Rock On! 🥰🤘🤘
Immediate classic! Been listening to Dokken over 40 years. Great song!!
As i have been listening since 82' seen dokken several times. Great to seen Don healthy again.
Don's vocals aren't the strongest but they were so much better than I was expecting. This new album, which comes out in the fall, sounds promising! 🤓👍
That's the magic of the recording studio. He'll never pull it off live.
@@Thirdgen83 Believe me, I was already *painfully* aware of that! I've skimmed through a few modern Dokken concerts online. Don barely has a "studio voice" on this song. That's why I'm excited for the new album. I can actually *hear* what he's saying! 😆
Don sounds the same, but without the vocal strength he once had. Then there's a singer like Geoff Tate who still has the power, but doesn't quite sound like the same guy. Time gets us all in some way.
@@MichaelBradley1967 But it wasn't time that got Don; it was his smoking & drinking that destroyed his voice.
@@MichaelBradley1967 tell that to Klaus of scorpions
100% awesome
Sounds great.
I got tired of people saying that he was done , but I would tell them to suck it!
Thank you Don for all you've done for us over the years. #1 band Dokken
Love yah... keep it up.....
Good to see Dokken Rockin it out. Killer guitarist in Jon Levin and Don sounds great! Thanks for making new music!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEO AND SONG! GLAD TO SEE DON DOKKEN BACK IN THE STUDIO! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW ALBUM!!! ROCKIN' W/ DOKKEN!!!🎼🎸🥁🤘💯🍻😎🙏💕
That dreamlike quality is still there! I am younger than dokkens most succesful albums, so their music has always been on the radio and was a favorite long before i learned any english. But this one catches me just as much with the lyrics!!! 🤩
I really like this song. I wish I could see Dokken in a live concert, does not matter who is playing guitar...
Has anyone heard Don Dokken live lately? There’s no way he sounds like this video. The Don Dokken ship has long sailed. The guitar kicks ass though!!! As always!!!
Rokken with DOKKEN!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot wait for the new album!
What a great surprise with the new song and upcoming album. Back in the day (middle school) I was a huge fan of the band. For all the Dokken songs that led to great times/memories thanks. I genuinely hope that Don is happy and healthy. Stay safe everyone wish you and those close to you nothing but the best.
Wow this is killer. I love it. Dokken has always been one of my top five bands. Very happy to hear him again. 🙏🏾❤️✌🏾🤘🏾
I don't have a enough volume for this song 🤟👊🤟👊
Absolutely a classic return of Dokken. What a intro. Makes me bring to 80s
Oddly enough this is pretty good. I’ll be buying the record to support one of the bands I loved as a junior high school delinquent maniac. Crazy close to 40 years later I’m still listening and waiting to buy the new record. It’s called being a lifer.
Normally when the 80’s artists release new material it isn’t hardly worth the RUclips click but this is actually really good and it sounds like it could’ve came from back then! I’m impressed!
Damn. It's rare that older bands manage to recreate their classic sound, but Don nailed it here
Que modo tan digno de "envejecer" musicalmente, no se vendió a la moda, sino que siguió su estilo por más de cuarenta años...larga vida a Don Dokken 🎉
Joer , pensaba lo mismo . No hace años ... y Dokken siempre fue una de esas bandas que si no imprescindibles siempre , siempre han estado ahí . Y me parece que esto de hoy día tiene mucho que ver y podría figurar en cualquiera de sus discos más viejos , vamos sin sorpresas . Don Dokken tiene su propio estilo y es perfectamente reconocible.
Rock and Roll rules !!!
Heavy Real Metal
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I like it!! And Jon Levin is always awesome. Love hearing him shred!
Dokken does it again. Very good song. The words, lyrics , arrangement, just everything. I highly reccomend.
If the rest of the album is more of this, it's going to be fucking awesome.
