AS IT SHOULD BE MY BROTHER ...JUST A GREAT COVER ALL AROUND ... I WAS HERE JUST FOR THE GUITAR COVER ...HOLY SMOKES !!! I HAVE PLAYED THIS SONG 100 TIMES JUST NOT IN THE LAST DECADE LOL ... I'M 60 NOW, THE LEFT HAND IS JACKED AND I HAVE TO PICK MY BATTLES .... CAREFULLY 🤪 THIS WAS AWESOME !!
not only America...the whole world - just compare crowds during Scorpions or Metallica concerts..with the ones today...people listened to music then because they liked it..today I know a lot of "rockers" that listen to rock just because of social pressure or other music due to the same social pressure...the MTv phenomenon destroyed the music and the value it brought to the world...
I will declare, this is the 2nd vid I’ve seen and I’ll say now I would pay to see these these guys and also buy downloads even if they put out 50% of these kind of performances. Don Dokken should be wiping away the tears of joy from his eyes seeing what these guys are doing.
Just shows u how powerful and dynamic don dokkens voice once was. Ive if ever rarely- i ever heard anybody not only DO this song, but hit those last 4 high notes at the end. Im impressed
Hello. Thank you for making such cool videos, distributing presets, it's very cool. Thank you very much, Friend. Could you tell me what kind of drums you use, they sound really cool!
Man KILLER job on vocalz here, I'm 54 & definitely a product from this era & a singer as well & this is my favorite group along with Helix from the 80's & let me tell you something THIS song rite here will take your voice for a loop. I USED to COULD do it & Don USED to COULD do it & this guy NAILZ it as good as Iv'e seen anybody nail it yet. Don Dokken sang some of the most difficult high melodic songs Iv'e ever heard & finally could'nt do it anymore & I really hate it......NOTHIN' lasts 4-ever.
Absolutely WOW! The playing, the tone(besides your incredible playing, your tone is outstanding), OMG and the vocals are brilliant! outstanding job guys!
In 2013 I watched Black Sabbath with the Tommy Clufetos as the drummer who replaced Bill Ward for the "13" tour. I have never heard Black Sabbath songs sound more fresh - they had an incredible energy. It made me realise just how important drummers are in changing the feel of compositions even when everything else stays the same. For this reason I would love to see a re-cover of this song with more aggressive drumming.....because I feel the energy of the song could be lifted to incredible heights. I hear empty spaces in the drumming music that could be filled with rapid double kicks which would take this already better-than-the-original and really inject some power into it. Of course this is just a personal preference however.....excellent work! I'm compiling a list of my favourite rock and metal songs......one-per-band-only and this cover version of Lighting Strikes Again made that LIST......and its sits amongst songs such as Guns n Roses "Night Train", Metallica "Escape", AC/DC "Hells Bells", Iron Maiden "Runs to the Hills". You guys should be writing your own music....you really have some talent...don't waste it. Keep Rock'in.
First Step thanks! We do have our own music out, check out "ShockFront" on RUclips. Then if you're a fan of progressive metal I have a full lenght out with my solo project Plastic Mind Frequencies and I'm currently recording my second solo album ;)
Amazingly talented guys! This is beyond me, easily the best damn covers out here. Flawless guitarplaying and singing... What the hell did you guys do to become this talented?!?!? TELL ME?! :D Greetings from little Sweden! /Tom
I have that same VH tee shirt , and that is about as close as I am going to get to copying anything in this video. Awesome Job ! Couldn't be any better .
Valentino and Rocco - I keep listening to this song again and again. You both did a spectacular version of one of the All Time Greatest Dokken Songs. There is so much attention to detail in the guitar playing. Rocco - You're a Genius.The Guitar High Note At: 1:38 And Then Again That Guitar High Note At: 1:44At the End of the Guitar Solo At: 3:06Valentino: Your Vocals Are Perfect. Especially at 3:32 You are extremely talented.Since you 2 put this song here less then a week ago - I have listened and watched the video again and again.When this song came out in 1985 I was just 20 years old. After all these years - It's my Number 1 Dokken Song.Can you do Metal Queen - From Lee Aaron.
Rocco, awesome cover! Can't get enough Dokken! Fantastic guitar and vocals! Also the Van Halen shirt rocks too! Two of my favorite bands! Keeping the eighties alive! One song at a time! Be blessed, my man!
Singer hits high note, people think no way could he hit that again, then singer hits it 4 more times, and reaches even higher.
The singer's name is Valentino Francavilla and he is an absolute beast. His first heavy metal album will be released soon. Check his album out!
+Sanyam Jain - Valentino is insanely good on vocals!! Holy shit!! I can't wait to hear more from this dude!! What a set of pipes!!!!!
Sanyam Jain where can I find his album? Spotify? Him and Rocco are a different level!!

@@PlayFloyd_IN THANX !!!
America was cooler when the kids were listening to this stuff.
not only America...the whole world - just compare crowds during Scorpions or Metallica concerts..with the ones today...people listened to music then because they liked it..today I know a lot of "rockers" that listen to rock just because of social pressure or other music due to the same social pressure...the MTv phenomenon destroyed the music and the value it brought to the world...
Vlad you are absolutely fucking correct! 😉
Many still are.
Damn right 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@vladzubac5360 Seconded.
Got to say man this is by far the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard 👏
You guys could bring the 80's back if you wanted to, amazing as always.
Yeah, I could get the band high in the parking lot during intermission..
Totally agree!
Thats my job
You guys do the best covers on RUclips! Keep it up!
Dammmm best cover dokken ever!!!!! They were the best 80s band had way more great songs than any other … never got the credit they deserved
Hands down... you guys are better than todays Dokken!
The sole purpose of my life is to keep waiting for Rocco's and Valentino's videos and watch them when it's uploaded.
I will declare, this is the 2nd vid I’ve seen and I’ll say now I would pay to see these these guys and also buy downloads even if they put out 50% of these kind of performances. Don Dokken should be wiping away the tears of joy from his eyes seeing what these guys are doing.

Fantastic...Rocco is vicious on guitar and these Dokken covers jam. Dude would give Don Dokken a run for his money. One of my favorite bands.
Thanks for making new Dokken fans
Hello. Thank you for making such cool videos, distributing presets, it's very cool. Thank you very much, Friend. Could you tell me what kind of drums you use, they sound really cool!
I rarely comment on RUclips, but this is the best god damn Dokken cover band I've ever heard. Hail Rocco and Valentino!
All your Dokken covers rock.
I think he has a better voice than Don and the quality of sound blows 1985 out of the water. The rest is bang on as you said!
@@paulkarp958 id say 1987 dokken was the best. The original, live, this cover. They all rock no matter what.
You're a beast!
Great song off a great album. Love this jam. Bad ass guitar solo. . Awesome kick ass cover. . Hell yeahhhhhh. CRANK IT UP LOUD. . 🤘🤘🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🤘🤘🏻🤘🏻
wow so great !!!!!
thanks man ;)
OMG, you guys nailed it! Sounds like Dokken in their prime. Very nice job!
Amazing as always Rocco & Valentino! 🇺🇸🤘🏼🇺🇸
thank you!
Holy Shit Valentino sounds JUST LIKE Don here. Rocco killing it as usual!
