Description
Dokken is one of the defining bands of the 1980s hard rock and heavy metal scene, known for blending melodic hooks with powerful guitar work and emotionally charged vocals.
Formed in Los Angeles in the late 1970s, the band was led by vocalist Don Dokken and featured the virtuosic guitar playing of George Lynch, alongside bassist Jeff Pilson and drummer Mick Brown. Dokken rose to prominence during the peak of the MTV era with a string of platinum-selling albums, including ‘Breaking the Chains’ (1983), ‘Tooth and Nail’ (1984), and ‘Under Lock and Key’ (1985) racking up sales of more than 10 million albums.
Their sound struck a balance between radio friendly melodies and aggressive metal, producing hits like Alone Again, In My Dreams, and Its Not Love. Their 1987 release ‘Back for the Attack’ further cemented their legacy, showcasing both commercial success and musical complexity.
Released in 1999, ‘Erase the Slate’ marked a fresh chapter for Dokken, introducing Reb Beach (best known for Winger and later Whitesnake) as the bands lead guitarist. ‘Erase the Slate’ blends Dokkens classic melodic metal roots with a more modern, late-’90s hard rock edge. Reb Beach brought a technically sharp yet fluid guitar style that differed from the flashier, more aggressive approach of former guitarist George Lynch. His playing added a polished, groove-oriented feel while still delivering strong solos and riffs. Remastered and repackaged on 180g green smoke vinyl.
Limited green smoke colour vinyl pressing.
