On this episode the guys go back to the 80’s. Seems like a theme on this show. Anyway, they’re talking about one of the more unique glam bands from that period. On this episode we’re talking about Dokken. While Dokken has been around for over 40 years, their biggest impact came on the middle 80’s as they delivered 3 platinum albums in a 4 year period. With Don Dokken’s melodic vocals, George Lynch’s scorching guitar work and the pounding rhythm section of Jeff Pilson and Mick Brown, Dokken had a style all their own. With Don Dokken recently hinting at retirement, we decided it’s time to look back at all their releases and rank them Worst to First. And then at the end, it's the BIG4 Dokken songs. So sit back, relax, turn it up to 11 and let the debate begin....

Guitarists are the foundation for every rock band. Whether its the driving rhythms of Johnny Cash or the finger tapping of Eddie Van Halen, guitarists are an essential part of a band. On this episode, the guys speak off the cuff about their favorite guitarists. It's not about best or most influential, but about what we think of that guitar player. So sit back, relax, turn it up to 11 and let the debate begin.
