The music sounds like older, classic Dokken.
Agreed, though Don could never sing like that. One of the things I always liked about Dokken were their killer vocal choruses/harmonies. That, and everyone always looked forward to a new George Lynch solo. (Alone again, Tooth and nail, etc,.) George and Jeff work very well together.
Ya I like it . Good hook , great solo .
This is almost literally Dokken, with just a much heavier sounding vocalist. I will miss Robert Mason, but will still be a The End Machine fan.
