T-Bone posted a bit about this on another board, so he may have more info than I. I do know the original 4 reunited for the last few songs of an Anaheim House of Blues show last November.

(this version has worse video but tons of funny dialog before the song!)

LOVE this exchange:

DON: Nothing better than cocaine, dude!
GEORGE: Got any?

What a trip -- and you know the words "Hello Kitty!" have probably come out of Don Dokken's mouth hundreds if not thousands of times over the years.

Here's a trip -- I was watching the movie Bobby yesterday about the death of Robert Kennedy, and there is a scene where one of the kitchen workers lays down two green tickets on a table. They were upside down, and looked so much like they had the DOKKEN logo on them that I had to freeze the frame to inspect them -- they were DODGERS tickets!

My sources tell me that it is something kind of in the works...the issue is who gets paid how much (George and Jeff want assurances that Don won't take all the money this time).

But hey...they didn't kill each other in those videos Rip posted...so there is hope!

There can be ABSOLUTELY NO guarantee that Don won't take all the money, else it loses some of the entertainment value. If one gets to play on stage with Don Dokken, that should be payment enough.

In all seriously, Rip, the guy hasn't had a voice in more than 10 years....I like the classic stuff up until Erase the Slate. Live, he is a shell of himself. How long is he going to continue to play the 'star' and demand all monies?

He's Don Dokken! All he has to do is get up on stage with his big brass pair and belt out a few hoarse notes into the mic, and the rockometer goes off the charts! I'd pay to see that anyday!
