Yup, from either George or Don..
Not to up to date on my "old school" Dokken, but from what I read (either on youtube or somewhere else) that George, Juan and Bobby were just the "backing band" at that point to Don Dokken. They hadn't yet become the Dokken that most will remember.
It's pretty easy to see how they all could have influenced each other back in the day. Most, if not all, of the big players that would eventually emerge from that hairband era/LA scene were pretty tight. Jake E. Lee, Warren DeMartini, George Lynch, Robin Crosby, Etc..
Mick Mars was actually an "old man" within that genre, as I think he was in his early to mid 30's when he joined up with Motley Crue.

They all (Randy included) borrowed things at times!sytharnia wrote:well that is from 1982 and looks that kill came out in 1983 so maybe mick stole it from george as wellWAR IN D wrote:Speaking of Dokken and trading riffs... (not to mention bass players, as that is Juan Croucier from Ratt)
Shades of "Looks that Kill" in the opening riff perhaps?? Also, Don playing lead over George's rhythm??Something is wrong with this picture! LOL!

Have to say Mick did a good job 'improving' that riff a bit.

Re: randy rhoads strat for sale used in quiet riot
Im sure he did,but it is known that randy "Disliked" smoking pot saying "it just makes you lazy" but Im sure hearing how "Wild" he was when he drank,& how Forceful Ozzy was as to Saying shit like "One Drink aint gonna kill ya" Ect..ect.. Im sure When work was done & Randy Drank,he Had his Fun!! even if to just shut Ozzy up & get him off his back:) I used to think about that when I was 14 15 Just experimenting,I I am was "Enhancement Smoker" in the

Speaking of.....Where is whereagle? I know he only can say wahat hes said,but the Guy who owns the Archive,that was supposedly in "Negotiations" w/Sharon.He was Rumored to have at least More than one Ozzy 81-82 era shows?Mabey hes the same guy Peter found,assuming this was the same reels??Its Just w/the THOUSANDS of Pics from Way over 100 shows & new ones surfacing monthly,Its Only Logical that a few of those Venues would have "In-House" Cameras! This was 81 & even the Starwood & Whiskey had em almost 5 years before.Some of theese Nicer Venues Had to Have em,even just Black & White
