DOKKEN

et de live officiels....

... certes, mais en quantité dérisoire en comparaison ...

Une photo du line up réuni:

Un album live plus quelques nouveaux titres (dont un qui a pour titre “It’s Just Another Day”) en préparation pour 2018 ?!?

"Speaking of bands with a future, I think most American fans of DOKKEN have been hoping there is still some more gas in the tank for you, Don, George & Mick. Have any of you talked about another run?

We are talking about trying to figure something out. Nothing has really come together yet as far as any more live work. But the fact that we had such a great time working on the new song that will appear on the Live DVD as a bonus, that’s a good sign. We also did a couple acoustic remakes which we’re all very happy with. So musically we’re in a good place together. If we do more live stuff it has to be very special and likely very short. I’m so strapped for time as it is, and Don doesn’t wanna lose the focus on his version of Dokken. I get that. It’s his everyday gig so he wouldn’t wanna diminish it for short lived reunion stuff. But having said that, we’re past a lot of the hurdles from the past, so if the right opportunity comes along we just may surprise you! But don’t be disappointed if it ends up only being whatever we come up with for the Live DVD and Audio CD.

Disappointed? No way – most “classic” DOKKEN fans are really excited about the CD/DVD. In fact, some of the clips from the tour of Japan have been posted on YouTube – how is the progress of the official live concert DVD production coming along? Will this be a “raw” recording or will you have to add & edit to the recordings to get them up to the expectations you have for an official release?

The progress is great. As always with us, scheduling is tricky so it’s not finished yet. But we’ve got a bulk of the audio put together, the new song (and Don sounds AMAZING on it) and the acoustic stuff. So, all is good. As far as it being raw, you can always go to YouTube for that! In all seriousness, we’re trying to keep it real as much as possible, but also bringing the audio up to the high standard we’ve always had for Dokken. We want people to get the best listening/watching experience possible. There will be spots on the DVD where the visual will shift between different shows in Japan and the Badlands in South Dakota, but we just want it to look as cool as it can. We’re not overly concerned with making it look like one performance all the way through. It’s a combo of several shows, so why hide that?

You told us in November about this new song that you & George wrote & recorded for DOKKEN that was ready for vocals – I’m stoked to hear that Don’s vocals have been added and sound so good to you! I’m sure that will pump up the DOKKEN fan base!! What have you titled the track?

It’s called “It’s Just Another Day” and I’m quite excited about it. The session for Don’s vocal was nothing short of magic. I was getting goose bumps. It felt like we hadn’t missed a day together! Don really came through on that tune!

Man, I can’t wait now!! For you, as a writer, would you like to add more DOKKEN music to your recording catalog or does that style of music still inspire you as a writer?

Sure, I still often write in that style. In fact, I’m getting quite a back log of songs in that vein so I’m trying to figure out what to do with them. Do I do a solo CD, a new War and Peace, who knows? I’m thinking I’ll have time on the road for the next several months to finish writing for it, then maybe record during the holidays. Like I said, who knows? It’s just nice to know I have the studio to make it happen if I go forward with it. It’s all about having the time!!!

LINE-UP :

Don Dokken – Chant
George Lynch – Guitare
Jeff Pilson – Basse
Mick Brown - Batterie

Le nouveau groupe composé de trois membres du line-up classique de DOKKEN et de l’ancien chanteur de LYNCH MOB et actuel chanteur de WARRANT, Robert Mason, a été baptisé #TheEND :

Le guitariste George Lynch, qui a rejoint THE END avec son ancien membre du groupe DOKKEN, Jeff Pilson (basse) et Mick Brown (batterie), a révélé le nom du groupe lors d'une interview avec la station de radio The Rock 94.9 et 104.5 d'Idaho. Il a dit: "Je fais beaucoup de disques sans trop d'efforts, ce qui est pas mal, comme KXM et ULTRAPHONIX, qui sont écrits très rapidement. On suit nos premiers instincts, et nous ne travaillons pas vraiment dessus. Le disque THE END est vraiment le contraire de cela.

"Jeff et moi avons passé beaucoup de temps à créer les chansons, comme nous l'avons fait lors des journéesdu temps de DOKKEN", a-t-il poursuivi. "Je pense qu'il y a pas mal de rock artistique des années 70 dans certaines de ces chansons, ce qui est plutôt cool. On a le groove habituel, le heavy rock, le rock mélodique, mais ça a aussi le son des années 70, ELO, ELTON JOHN [vibe] - des changements vraiment intéressants, intelligents, classiques, un disque très satisfaisant à écouter - il est assez profond et je pense que les gens vont vraiment l'aimer. Il ne sonne pas comme LP [LYNCH / PILSON], ça ne sonne pas comme LYNCH MOB. Il y a des éléments de tout ça, évidemment.

THE END, connu initialement sous le nom de SUPER STROKE, sortira son premier album en février 2019.

Pilson a récemment déclaré qu'il était "ravi au-delà de toute conviction" avec le disque de THE END, disant à Clay Marshall: "Je suis vraiment fier de ce disque - les chansons et le chant de Robert . C'est juste un album phénoménal, et je suis impatient qu'il sorte. "

Plus tôt cette année, Mason a déclaré au podcast "Talking Metal" que travailler avec Lynch, Pilson et Brown "nous a tous donné une nouvelle idée de ce que c’était de créer ensemble et peut-être même de jouer ensemble. . "
