I've heard somewhere that Bobby Blotzer of Ratt fame played in an early version of Dokken, but I'm not confident of the accuracy of this enough to add it to the article.
Of course, Juan Croucier was in Dokken before Ratt (I'm not getting the 2 of them confused). Gringo300 00:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Wasn't Mick Mars (of Mötley Crüe) an early member of Dokken as well?
So when Mikkey Dee (Motorhead deity though he is) says he was "with" Dokken, he means the solo project of Don Dokken and not this band? 193.238.233.2 14:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I have decided to remove the following trivia bit, as I believe the person who stated this was confused, thinking of Real McCoy's "Another Night" 90's dance track. I'll post the bit I removed anyway, just in case it finds a citation.
The intro paragraph reads like something off a fan site rather than an encyclopedia, trying to defend the band against being categorized with other 80's "hair metal" bands. Can we come up with something better here? And something cited, rather than just opinion? DragonsDream ( talk) 00:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
http://www.homeonthestrange.com/view.php?ID=257 Stuff like this (a comic strip about this very page) tends to spark related vandalism. Small chance but still a chance. Lots42 ( talk) 22:21, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
i think somebody should make an article for this Dokken song. It's there most popular song on iTunes and arguably their best single. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.192.140 ( talk) 22:55, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
One of the genres of the band in this article is glam metal. I totally agree with the three genres of this article. However, none of the articles on the band's albums have glam metal among the genres. I think it should be included there too. FateForger ( talk) 14:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, they didn't really adopt the full hair metal look until Under Lock And Key which IMO, was their only true hair metal/pop-metal album, though it did feature some more classic metal songs like Lightning Strikes Again, Unchain The Night and Til The Livin End. They were more like an American Scorpions, IMO than a hair metal band ala Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt ect. -- RandyRhoadsRonnieDio ( talk) 16:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Glam metal does not refer to the look of the band but refers to pop influenced commercial 80s style hard rock/heavy metal such as bands like Dokken. Jamcad01 ( talk) 10:16, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
guys, are you sure about that? looks a bit strange 'cause he's a damn good drummer. 94.245.151.220 ( talk) 10:07, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
"After several personnel changes on guitar, Dokken's attorney Jon Levin stepped in to fill the role in 2004." What role? Anyone know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by G33Z3R ( talk • contribs) 01:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
