My little Brother and I grew up on Dokken ever since seeing the movie, Nightmare on Elm Street part 3, The Dream Warriors as kids in the early 90's...We were hooked ever since.
Be 54 in October and Dokken is one of my favorite bands. Got back into them a month ago after a long drought and it's like a time machine listening to these albums.
In 1987 when I was in the Army. I got to lead a cadence in our morning run and I did it to the lyrics of this song. One of the greatest moments ever. I love this band!!!!
@@robertoricci3393nahhhh listen here pal, im 13 and asked EVERYONE i know if they know what dokken is and they said no, i showed them some song and only a few said “i think ive heard it before” UNDERRATED AF
53 yo here there has not been anything that comes close to the 80s music The decadence the cheesiness the just debauchery of the entire decade I would not change anything from the '80s now as a musician myself I'm grateful for the '80s because it influenced me in so many different ways from hard rock bands like dokken to thrash metal like Slayer
I was born in 1971 and as I grew into my teen years these bands were everything to me. I listened to this and all of the other Dokken songs many times over many years. It’s still good music to me and reminds me of my early teen years with no responsibility.
I agree” breaking the chains has many meanings for many things, like Addiction, Bad relationships, etc etc.. really miss those 80s days when I was in Jn high & High school”
I remember listening to this tape a million times when I was driving to the beach with my friends. Sun, party, nice girls. I wish I could go back to that magic time. Sometimes it seems so unreal now. Thank you Dokken for all the fun and the company.
Sit there thinkin' In your room You feel the pressure You're goin' crazy too The walls around you Closin' in You need a change Claustophobic Feelin' scared You need somebody But no one seems to care A one way ticket A change of pace You've had enough Can't take no more Breaking the chains around you Nobody else can bind you Take a good look around you Now you're breaking the chains Got this letter Came today From my baby Who left me yesterday Said she loves me She'll come back She wants to try I won't let her She'll be upset I know it's better Than somethin' I'll regret She's been dishonest And insincere I lost my mind Twenty times a year Breaking the chains around me Nobody else can bind me Take a good look around me Now I'm breaking the chains Woke up today I'm alone I look around But baby you were gone But I don't mind And I don't worry I will survive I'm alone Now that you're gone Don't need nobody To hold or tie me down I broke the chains So let me be I've gotta be free
I started to “listen” Dokken in 2008, when I was 10 because I bought gta vice city stories and I had fallen in love with them after a listening. Now I am 20 and Dokken is my favorite band... I have all vinyls from 80s
I started listening like 2 years ago when I was 12 and they’ve been my favorite ever since. In my opinion they are underrated and was surprised when I found out that they weren’t all that big and widely know like AC/DC or Def leopard.
...until groups like Dokken, KISS, Motley Crue, Warrant, and even Stryper, started doing those stupid, insipid, sugary "Ballads"... which, of course, is what killed the Pop-Metal movement in the Early 1990s. It just got sappy out there, especially when the group Extreme did that acoustic Ballad, called "More than words". In less than a year after that, a lot of the Pop-Metal groups were nothing more than an afterthought. Then, it was onto Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Ministry, Rage Against The Machine, and other groups that were "Alternative".
For yeeeeears lo g b4 most hairbands embrace them lynch in top five love it ALL every one but not better metal band than Pantera no bigger TRAGEDY......
THE ACOUSTIC CAGE What the fuck you talking about? Dokken had some great albums! Under Lock And Key and Back For The Attack are awesome albums, better than Wicked Sensation!
I was in my early 20's when this was new. Hard rock was the thing for me then ... Dokken being a favorite... I still in my late 50's love this, them and hard rock in general. I feel bad for Don with his vocal cord issues. They were in their prime in this video. Good times
Victor R. Criss Olivia was a brilliant guitarist my favourite ,and will be for all time ,I have 2 savatage albums atm hoping to buy some more like gutter ballet and power of the night which are great albums 🤘🏼👌🙂
Victor R. Wow I was born in 1998 I like a lot of bands that are before my time such talented musicians long gone , I play the hall of the mountain king album religiously in my car on The way to work and coming home the guitar work in that album is second to none , i listen to old 70’s AC/DC , Alice in chains , megadeth , savatage , black sabbath , DEATH , Motörhead etc , i sure will be listening to them a lot more as I haven’t listened past edge of thorns and need to listen to the newer stuff 👍🏼😊
Got the Monsters of Metal album in 83 and this was on it. They became my favorite band for about the next 10 years because of it. Still sounds good all these years later.
A great hard rock song Dokken is one of the greatest band of 80s n early 90s n still rocking hard today George Lynch one of the greatest guitar player in hard rock music great guitar solos 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
True story: I'm 26 years old- I wear a black bomber jacket to work. My boss is around 60. So, I play old music on a speaker. No joke: *Breaking the Chains blares as I'm closing* "That Dokken? Damn, I haven't heard them in years- _years!_ How old are you? Goddamn, since before you were born!" Happy to make an old metal fan happy for at least a moment.
I met one of my mates at his record store buying an obscure album and he was surprised I knew of them. And at my job with customers they LOVE that a young guy is genuinely into older rock and metal bands not just the same ol classic bands everyone brings up.
Totally friggin intense, instantly relatable, lyrically and vocally and instrumentally mesmerizing, like friggin awesome, I saw Dokken, summer of 87, open air stadium daytime sunshine and totally stoned.
My buddy has a VHS of this album. It shows all the music videos and the band talking in between videos. I was introduced to Dokken by him a few months ago via that VHS. Man I missed out. Now I’m on a Dokken binge. 🤘🎸🤘
This is bringing back childhood memories of my older brother blasting Dokken while I was reading comic books. Those were the days. Awesome song, awesome band.
I was born in the mid 90s and like I had a huge huge huge 80s rock/ metal phase that started when I was 12. This song really spoke to 13 year old me. I still love Dokken so much
To those calling this cheesy and hair...blah blah. This is 1983/1984 Metal's golden age. There was no such thing as hair band. Those came afterwards in the late 80's with their weepy, sappy songs. During this time, bands like WASP, Motley Crue, RATT, and Dokken played melodic hooks over hard rockin' rythyms. Videos may seem over the top, but thats how we looked at these bands. The only exposure to them was through music videos and magazines. There was no internet to see them in their pajamies or street clothes. There was a mystery to these bands and these videos kept that mystique going. \m/ Long live Metal!
I remember they got booed off stage because they had to follow Metallica. They headlined over Metallica and the crowd couldn’t go this light after Metallica shredded the stage just before them. They were an incredibly a weak act to follow a monster like Metallica. Back in the day this type of music was not in the category of hardcore metal. I came back to the video to see how the music has aged and I have to say that it is still a little cheesy. We all have our taste in music. Respect for the artists and the fans, it’s just not for me.
Thank you Rhino for giving Dokken the attention they deserve. Awesome songs and George Lynch (with the blond and black hair) is one of the most gifted, genius guitarists ever. Unfortunately he never got the recognition that he deserved for that.
A lot of people from this generation may never appreciate classics like this from the 80's. Back when practical effects and sets were king, and not all CGI bs like they are today. Not to mention the song rocks my socks. This and Dream Warriors will forever remain favorites. \m/\m/
Man this song has balls. It’s exactly what I needed at the time. I remember this coming out in 1981, as I was dealing with girlfriend b.s ... I was in my 78 trans am with the t tops off havin a smoke, full volume - it was ritual every time it came on. Had a lot of radio play. No cell phone, social media, or any of that nonsense. Just me, the car, my smokes and Dokken. Wow man, as bad as I felt at the time .... I’d go back in a heartbeat. Where are my keys.....
@land otter1 yeah she was sweet. Bought her for real cheap. The dude was in jail and his father just wanted it gone. He must have had ten grand in that motor too. I love the 73 mustang fast backs. 🤙
I love that octave riff George is doing @ 0:10 and 1:05 How did George get so good on guitar in his youth to be such a beast by the time Dokken was making albums? It wasn't like there were YT guitar instructional videos or Hal Leonard books everywhere back then. He's such a great player-if he was that good of a player when this came out I can only imagine what his private combo amp jam sessions sound like today-Ph.D clinic in shredding.
This song is awesome! This video is something else. I just realized Don Dokken's robe in the bed scenes is just a karate gee with no pants. Very cool he achieved black belt status.
All I can say is that those who grew up in the 70s and 80s listening to rock music are the luckiest people of Earth. Our generation is fortunate enough to have the technology that allows us to listen to a music video recorded over 30 years ago.
@@rodolforodriguez6230 oh yeah.... I’m hungry ..... until yesterday....... my ex girlfriend........these old shoes .......never saw that movie .......no way........peppermint pizza.....Chris Hansen....take a seat over there......what are you doing here....
Great song.. Simplicity at its best. I miss 80's metal. I've probably seen Dokken 10-15 times back in the day. They would open for everyone.. Great band!!!
Same around that time. Front row flicked with Dee’s makeup and sweat slightly nauseating but living in the moment! Dokken went first but they were dual headliners:)
@@shawnslay4751 If you mean Houston, it was the 88 "Monsters of Rock tour" in Rice stadium, I was there, if you saw it do you remember the electricity going out in the middle of Dokken's set and the band walking off stage?
This video is so 80's, its almost like it was for a modern movie, portraying a 80's video for a scene in the movie....what I'm trying to say is this video is as 80's as 80's could possibly be...BIG TIME!!!
High school in Oklahoma City back in the day. Man, oh man, if I could just go back. Great music, muscle cars, parties, bonfires, football games, cheap gas and cheap beer. Best decade ever. 😎🤙🏾
They had their own sound... heavy with sweet vocals.
They look so young in this video.
George Lynch is one of the Best guitarist I've ever heard, super Underrated!
I'm going to see him in 2 weeks!!!!
He's in the top 100 Best guitar player of all time 😊
You need to expand your listening library. I think Alex Lifeson is the best
Agree 100%!!
one of my favorite metal bands from the 80s im 54 and i still listen to Dokken i have a few Dokken CDs in my truck .
My little Brother and I grew up on Dokken ever since seeing the movie, Nightmare on Elm Street part 3, The Dream Warriors as kids in the early 90's...We were hooked ever since.
Yea man same 💯👍
Be 54 in October and Dokken is one of my favorite bands. Got back into them a month ago after a long drought and it's like a time machine listening to these albums.
Youve got good rock n roll taste
Your cool i love dokken too they are awesome
Dokken rhymes with ROCKING. !!!!
Yes! You're Rockin with Dokken!
In 1987 when I was in the Army. I got to lead a cadence in our morning run and I did it to the lyrics of this song. One of the greatest moments ever. I love this band!!!!
That had to have sounded incredible.
You're a legend my man ✊💪💪💪
As a retired drill sergeant and gen-x Dokken fanatic, I have to give that an official “Out-F**king-Standing!”
I bet it was got this letter 🤣
But it must have been the last verse. It's the strongest one lyrically. I got to be free! 😎
This is a seriously underrated 80’s band.
yup
Yep
Not at all. These guys sold 10 million copies and George Lynch is one of the most respected hard rock/metal guitarists.
lol underrated they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide one of the best and known my childhood bands
@@robertoricci3393nahhhh listen here pal, im 13 and asked EVERYONE i know if they know what dokken is and they said no, i showed them some song and only a few said “i think ive heard it before” UNDERRATED AF
I'm 56, in August of 2024. So many great times, memories,and so much great music!
53 yo here there has not been anything that comes close to the 80s music The decadence the cheesiness the just debauchery of the entire decade I would not change anything from the '80s now as a musician myself I'm grateful for the '80s because it influenced me in so many different ways from hard rock bands like dokken to thrash metal like Slayer
I'll be 58 in November
59 in a couple months. The 80's was a perfect time to be a teen and young adult.
I was born in 1971 and as I grew into my teen years these bands were everything to me. I listened to this and all of the other Dokken songs many times over many years. It’s still good music to me and reminds me of my early teen years with no responsibility.
Same here bro 1971 born as well early 80 metal was great
I agree” breaking the chains has many meanings for many things, like Addiction, Bad relationships, etc etc.. really miss those 80s days when I was in Jn high & High school”
1971 here, yeah buddy!! Rockin with Dokken!!
I was born in 1969. Forever an 80’s kid. My teenage years were the best. Rockin’ with Dokken 🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶
Born 73… i totaly agree 👍👍👍
I remember listening to this tape a million times when I was driving to the beach with my friends. Sun, party, nice girls. I wish I could go back to that magic time. Sometimes it seems so unreal now. Thank you Dokken for all the fun and the company.
I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
I was born in 1986. It's now 2017. I'm 31 and I think 80's rock kicked ass back then and still kicks ass today and always will. Rock on my brothers.
Papa Pooch amen well said the 80s were the best. I was a teen in the 80s.the best
85 here brother
Born in 1960, I found my way here.....such is life.
you missed out...I used to go to a beer bar with dancers and they played lots of heavy metal. it was great, I often stayed 8 hrs.
I was born in '89 and I feel the exact same. Hate today's music.
Dokken seriously belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yeah they do!!
I totally agree . It’s too bad the RRHOF spoofs on this great music but vote ABBA in , go figure .
Not a 1 hit wonder!!! So talented!!
Notenogh hits
Hell yeah!!!!
One of the best 80's metal bands. I still rock out on Dokken on a regular basis their songs never get old.
The 80’s was not a decade, it’s a WAY of life !!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
The Way of my life!!
YESSSSSSSS
Yes my friend
Still is for this 55 year old.
Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
My favorite Dokken song ever. Still rocking it 2022💖

@@bltvd ooh yes. And 2 CD, Erase the Slate and Lightening Strikes Again.
Painted Skies right on!! I got into them when I played that game as well!! That’s badass!
haha yep was 12 in 2008, still smashing dokken. I also have Vice City to thank for my 80s obsession.
I started listening like 2 years ago when I was 12 and they’ve been my favorite ever since. In my opinion they are underrated and was surprised when I found out that they weren’t all that big and widely know like AC/DC or Def leopard.
Best decade for Metal/Rock music, nobody can beat this! 🤘
Hands down ! 🤘

Dokken is one of the most underrated bands ever. George Lynch is fantastic.
And that hair style he’s sporting here!
It’s sad that a lot of people don’t know who George Lynch is easily one of the best at his craft

The Best #1
He can just strum a power chord and let it ring...it still sounds so powerful.
THE ACOUSTIC CAGE What the fuck you talking about? Dokken had some great albums! Under Lock And Key and Back For The Attack are awesome albums, better than Wicked Sensation!

New Dokken album is amazing
Most underappreciated metal band of the 80s. George Lynch most underappreciated metal guitarist.
might agree although i would throw in Blue Murder and Badlands into the discussion as well
@Victor R. Nah, Dokken was and is underrated and underappreciated. Fact.
I will always love dokken anyone that don't need a head exam
Victor R. Criss Olivia was a brilliant guitarist my favourite ,and will be for all time ,I have 2 savatage albums atm hoping to buy some more like gutter ballet and power of the night which are great albums 🤘🏼👌🙂

Great song from Dokken! Love this and many more....Dream Warriors...Alone again,etc

1981 - and still one of the best rock anthems.
Almost 2024 and dokken rocks 🤟🤟

Put that song over a heavier video and it’s all good.
hmm pretty sure it was 1983 when album was released in US just saying
Had a 79 400 4-speed. Sweet car

We're all the same!
Gen X here. My wife can’t understand why this music lowers my blood pressure. Me neither. Love it.
I love that octave riff George is doing @ 0:10 and 1:05
How did George get so good on guitar in his youth to be such a beast by the time Dokken was making albums? It wasn't like there were YT guitar instructional videos or Hal Leonard books everywhere back then. He's such a great player-if he was that good of a player when this came out I can only imagine what his private combo amp jam sessions sound like today-Ph.D clinic in shredding.
Can only imagine freestyle jamming with the dude and copious amounts of xtc
This song is awesome! This video is something else. I just realized Don Dokken's robe in the bed scenes is just a karate gee with no pants. Very cool he achieved black belt status.
Legendary band and song
One of the most talented bands and one of the most underrated.
All I can say is that those who grew up in the 70s and 80s listening to rock music are the luckiest people of Earth. Our generation is fortunate enough to have the technology that allows us to listen to a music video recorded over 30 years ago.
Find my video recorder
Some of the best riffs of 80s glam metal. What a great band is Dokken
Dokken rock, George Lynch is criminally underrated
No, he wasn't. He was all over the rock/metal radar back then. Lynch was never underrated.
Born in 98 but I’m addicted to the 80’s🤘
You know...my friend....you know....best era was unforgetable.....still today...and many much time.
@@rodolforodriguez6230 oh yeah.... I’m hungry ..... until yesterday....... my ex girlfriend........these old shoes
.......never saw that movie .......no way........peppermint pizza.....Chris Hansen....take a seat over there......what are you doing here....
Born in 2001 but I'm addicted to the 80's & 90's 🤘🏻
@@arturocortes8493 the 40s, 50s, 60s and the 70s are awesome too
George lynch is my favorite guitar player love this guy
one of the best bands in the story 🔥
Dokken Rules! 🖤
Excellent band from our teen years, time has to roll on and we will grow older, but the magic remains.
One of all time favorite jams!! Miss them 80's
Rock Jams cassette days!!
Great song.. Simplicity at its best.
I miss 80's metal. I've probably seen Dokken 10-15 times back in the day. They would open for everyone..
Great band!!!
Timeless classic I miss those days
With George Lynch's shredding guitar and Don's melodic vocals Dokken was always a fav back then and now.
Such a classic 🎶 fits me so much Dokken rocks!!🤘🤘
I saw Dokken open for Twisted Sister in 84, I've been a fan ever since.
Saw them later at TexasJamm think in 86
Same around that time. Front row flicked with Dee’s makeup and sweat slightly nauseating but living in the moment! Dokken went first but they were dual headliners:)
@@shawnslay4751 If you mean Houston, it was the 88 "Monsters of Rock tour" in Rice stadium, I was there, if you saw it do you remember the electricity going out in the middle of Dokken's set and the band walking off stage?
Uno de mis grupos imprescindibles de siempre.
THIS SONG TAKES ME WAY BACK
This guy's guitar solos are great best part of their songs
love DOKKEN Breakking THE CHAINS GREAT SONG
What an epic song!!!!!
The greatest 80s metal band of all time right here period! I will always be Rockin' with Dokken baby!
they deserve their due!
Priest is more my choice

@@jonathanwright8802 weel except for Maiden the others came later like mid to late eighties
@@jonathanwright8802 Yep for me dude sorry to hurt your feelings ;)

😜😂😂
Ha!
Clever 😉😉😉
good one. :)
😆😆😆
This is pure gold.
Super groupe des années 80 ma jeunesse!!mon dieu que le temps passe vite
Memories when playing GTA vice city stories. This song is on their radio in every vehicle... Legend from the 80s
This video is so 80's, its almost like it was for a modern movie, portraying a 80's video for a scene in the movie....what I'm trying to say is this video is as 80's as 80's could possibly be...BIG TIME!!!
Bob Silver it’s as 80’s as the 80’s were when I was in high school in the 80’s.
High school in Oklahoma City back in the day. Man, oh man, if I could just go back. Great music, muscle cars, parties, bonfires, football games, cheap gas and cheap beer. Best decade ever. 😎🤙🏾
I'm so in love with the band 🤩
