In a new interview with TotalRock, guitarist George Lynch talked about his experience rejoining Dokken, more, the guitarist was asked if there will be a possibility of a full Dokken reunion.
George said:
“For one thing, I can do it with one arm tied behind my back in my sleep. It’s songs I wrote, what? 40, 45 years ago, whatever, and I played them thousands of times. So it’s easy, in a sense, but it also feels like going back home. So that’s nice. And the best thing about it is Don and I get along great.
”The band’s great. Everybody’s happy. Our band is opening up, so I’m playing twice that night. We do a lot of that. These are packed houses, and everybody loves it. The whole audience is with us, and this is kind of what they’re waiting for, and it’s just a beautiful moment.” […]
About a possible full Dokken reunion, Lynch answered:
“I pretty much doubt it. Mick [Brown, former Dokken drummer] has quit playing drums, sold his kit. He’s not a drummer anymore. His brother Steve, who’s very similar to him, does play with [me and former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson] in The End Machine. Mick played on the first The End Machine record.
”We [use] Steve Brown now. So Steve Brown would be a natural fit for a Dokken reunion. But Jeff‘s been in Foreigner for 14 years. I’ve got nine different bands. We’re all older guys. And, really, to put a Dokken reunion together would be very, very difficult, politically, personally.
”And then we have to ask ourselves the honest question: would it just be a money grab or would it be a great record; would it be a great book end? We’ve got ”Breaking The Chains” and ”Tooth And Nail” and ”Under Lock And Key” and ”Back For The Attack”. Is it gonna hold up to that, or are we just too far past that? And the answer is I think that ship has sort of already left the harbor.”
