"Erase The Slate" is a KILLER song, with a ton of energy. A great way to resurrect themselves after Shadowlife...

I like your screen name, and should change my to LynchToLevin -- WhatDoYouThink?

"Erase the Slate" is a great tune. When I first heard it, I knew Dokken was back after the horrible "Shadowlife". I don't know that I've ever been more disappointed in an album than I was with that one. Horrible.

I'm glad they got Pilson. He's a better player, in my opinion, and better singer to boot.

I wonder if Don Dokken knows about Rip Rokken they way that Rip Rokken knows about Don Dokken?

One of those eternal questions.

There's little chance he doesn't know who Rip Rokken is... he's seen some of the pictures I've done and thought they were hilarious, and I'm sure by now he's seen my now legendary Don Dokken Facts. These are all original, btw...

DON DOKKEN FACTS
by Rip Rokken

"When Don Dokken farts, his wind breaks in at #12 on the Billboard Top 20."

"The reason the price of gold is so high is because half the world's supply went to the albums hanging on Don Dokken's walls."

"It don't matter how much Che3p V1agra you take, Don Dokken will always have 2 inches more than you."

"That's not an angel you hear singing... It's Don Dokken clearing his sinuses."

"If Don Dokken played football, he’d set the all-time world record for scoring – with the cheerleaders."

"Terrorists fear Don Dokken, because they know if he dies first, there won’t be any virgins left waiting for them in the afterlife."

"There's no such thing as a lunar eclipse -- there is only Don Dokken mooning the world from a hotel balcony."

"In many states, Don Dokken has to walk around with his schlong hanging out, because the fines for indecent exposure are much cheaper than for carrying a concealed weapon."

"Don Dokken is usually the last one to board an airplane, because he's made of so much metal he can't get thru the detectors without setting them off."

"Planning on investing in gold? Buy 30 copies of "Lightning Strikes Again".

"Don Dokken will never retire while he’s still on top. He’ll just trade positions and keep on going."

"Don’t ever offer Don Dokken an aspirin. The day he eases his pain is the day rock and roll comes to an end."

"Don Dokken is already larger than life. If he was half an inch taller, he’d be larger than the afterlife as well."

"Don Dokken is responsible for more hits than Al Capone."

"There's more drama in any Don Dokken interview than in Shakespeare's entire collective works."

"Don Dokken had his heart insured for $5,000,000, against the unfortunate chance that it should ever heal."

"If Don Dokken's ballad voice was any more soothing, it would have to be regulated by the FDA."

"If Don Dokken's rock voice was any more powerful, the U.N. would impose sanctions to try to contain it."

"Don Dokken has been choked by George Lynch more times than Pee Wee Herman has choked his chicken."

"Before Don Dokken sings a ballad, he should present it by saying, ‘Take this, my heart, which was broken for you.'"

"If Don Dokken was a sacrament, he'd be a full loaf of bread instead of just some cracker."

"Don Dokken has more balls than a Presidential Inauguration."

"Dokken fans have bought more Whoppers from Don than Burger King has ever sold, and we eat them with relish!"

"Don's fans always carry a Dokken tour itinerary with them so they know which direction to face when they say their morning prayers."

"Don Dokken was considered for a part on Celebrity Apprentice, but Trump nixed it because he feared getting fired by Don on national TV."

"The real reason gas prices are skyrocketing? Don's outrageous salary demands to keep pumping it!"

"Joking is strictly forbidden at the Dokken pre-show dinner, because if Don spits cola out his nose, he won't be able to sing!"

Shadowlife was a real disappointment as it was a total departure from the Dokken sound, but the music actually isn't that bad, and I really like a few songs on the disc. It just wasn't a Dokken album, hence the rejection by fans.

"Kiss Of Death" is also one of my faves, and Reb Beach seems to pay homage to that opening riff on track 2, "Change The World", from Erase The Slate:

I think I only listened through it once, twice at the most and haven't heard a single tune from it since then. It was basically Dokken's attempt at sounds like all the other bands in the grunge/alternative era. Terrible.
