GEORGE LYNCH Says DON DOKKEN's Greed Caused Breakup Of DOKKEN's Classic Lineup
Stuart Bull of Guitar Interactive magazine recently conducted an interview with legendary guitarist George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB, KXM). You can now watch the chat in four parts below.
Speaking about the breakup of the classic DOKKEN lineup in 1989, Lynch said: "Here's the things that happens in a band… especially in our era, in the '80s, and I don't know, even now probably… But if you have a record deal, or a master deal, for a certain amount of time, and you have increasing record sales, and then you get to the point where the deal ends, your managers come in and renegotiate and you get paid. Then you're set for life — possibly. That's when everything changes. That's what you worked for for those however many years. This is where all your… Everything you've invested in time and energy, you get paid back for. And the singer [Don Dokken], at that point, decided that he wanted it all, he didn't wanna share it with [the rest of] us, and he let us know that. So after this [Monsters Of Rock] tour [in 1988 with VAN HALEN, METALLICA and SCORPIONS], where we were gonna go out and play in front of hundreds of thousands of people and get paid lots of money, I'm gonna try to take the whole thing and run with it, and you guys are gonna get left in the dust, and if you're lucky, I might hire you [to play in my band]. And you have to go on stage like that."
He continued: "The reason that we were on fire before that — we were so dedicated, we kept persevering — was because we were all working for something. It wasn't even for the money, it was just to get to that point. And success on all levels — musically and financially, so we could be secure, and all these things, for all the right reasons. And we took care of each other, and we were an equal-split band, and I fought for that. And by Monsters Of Rock, when Don announced that he was gonna, basically, try to grab the negotiation brass ring and keep it to himself, that backfired on all of us. Financially, it backfired on all of us, 'cause we didn't get that massive… At that point, I think, that year MÖTLEY CRÜE got a 25-million-dollar deal, ANTHRAX got a 12.5-million-dollar deal, we would have been fine. Basically, we had a lot of leverage. We were gonna be a free agent, so it was really a shame. It just didn't go right for anybody. So I went on to form LYNCH MOB, which did pretty well."
All the members of DOKKEN's classic 1980s lineup reunited on stage for the first time in more than a decade on November 29, 2009 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California. According to OC Weekly, Don Dokken appeared on stage and said he had some friends he wanted to introduce. Jeff Pilson (bass) and George Lynch (guitar) joined Mick Brown (drums) for a two-song encore of "When Heaven Comes Down" and "In My Dreams".

Я люблю их альбомы 80-х, но Доккен - группа второго эшелона. И 80-е к моменту описываемых событий уже закончились. Они еще могли выпустить ровно один мощный альбом, отголоски которого слышны в сольнике Дона, но потом... гранж, все дела, и куда более именитые монстры этого жанра оказались не у дел, а Доккен бы и подавно. Платины в 90-х им было бы уже не видать, инфа 146%.
А так, слушать их первые 4 альбома - одно наслаждение. Жаль, что за последние 25 лет больше ничего серьезного они не выдали.
