    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

      ...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".

    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.

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.

    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.
