Dokken was a major attraction throughout the 1980s. With vocalist Don Dokken’s captivating stage presence and guitarist George Lynch’s high-energy style, the band combined rockers such as “Kiss of Death” and power ballads such as “Alone Again” in order to create a number of best-selling albums.

Dokken’s roots date back to the late ’70s, when Lynch, along with drummer Mick Brown, teamed up with Don Dokken to form the Boyz. In 1981, Don moved to Germany and was signed to Carerre Records. The band, now simply known as Dokken, recorded and released Breakin’ the Chains, their first studio album, in 1981 and it was released in US with the title Breaking The Chains in 1983. While the record failed to retain a decent chart position in the United States, the group was immensely popular in Europe.

After a tour in Germany, Dokken was signed to Elektra Records, and Jeff Pilson became their first official bassist. In 1984, the band released Tooth and Nail, which featured the hit songs “Into the Fire,” “Just Got Lucky,” and “Alone Again.” With heavy MTV and radio airplay, Dokken found themselves topping the charts worldwide, and Tooth and Nail eventually sold over one-million copies in the U.S. alone. Following a tour with the Scorpions, the group recorded Under Lock and Key in 1985, which had a similar success due to the hits “In My Dreams” and “It’s Not Love.
