Should Dokken have been much bigger?

its still crazy to me that they never reached full headlining status

Metal music 🎶 in general should have been bigger... It seems that ended rather abruptly... Almost like it was orchestrated? Then grunge hit, and some of us adapted, then it died with Cobain and Layne...

I think they were fairly rated. From that era, I would rate Tesla and Great White as overlooked.

They had one of the top 3 guitarists from the era, surprising how they couldn’t.

I used to say so. I suppose they were as big as they should have been. To me, definitely in the top, say, quarter of metal bands in that time frame.

Definitely 👍 Great band

yes, and by Don's own admission. They followed way too many trends and let management have too much say. Don even said they wanted go on stage in just a t-shirts and jeans, but management balked.

Absolutely...They were on the verge of headlining...Then?... Ego's took over. That's casual...We got some great music from that break-up...Lynch Mob, War and Peace, Don's solo. Sad...They should of headlined an arena tour.

Yes 🥰 they were great. I still remember buying the first album and it had a sticker on it that said Rhymes with Rockin 🔥😎

I never got into them I tried but they just didn’t do anything for me
