Keith Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It sounds like Don's head voice is shot. Anyone know whats going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Don Dokken hasn't been Don Dokken in quite some time. Not the nicest guy in the world, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeran Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I know he had some sort of throat or voice surgery not too long ago. I also read that rather than rest his voice, like doctors told him to, he went ahead and toured on a barely healing voice. I don't know much more than that, but he hasn't taken care of himself.

ronws Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not too mention that such a sound was probably more really his, back in the day. What you hear on albums and in MTV videos is studio magic. And Validar is right, Don is a problematic person. He just can't seem to get along with George Lynch. Or many others. But he has such a high perch to fall from. He was a pretty boy that sounded good at the time and so was given the kingdom of Heaven. Now, he is down to Earth with the rest of us mortals and it's a slightly different view.

ronws Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Or, he had a cold that night and sang anyway, 'cause the show must go on. Sometimes, someone has an off night. He might be a pain to work with but he does of getting out there in front and doing his thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs7593 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 He sounds kind of like Klaus Meine in that video. Really, that isn't such a bad performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HeatoftheMoment Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 There’s an old interview he did where he acknowledges that he sounds awful and claims it is due to him touring non stop in the 80’s. He is also claims he never used drugs but I think most people can see through that one. Lol. The rock n roll lifestyle probably got the best of his voice not to mention he smokes/drinks like tomorrow so I’m sure that doesn’t help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
