ʻO Dokken kahi hui ʻAmelika i hoʻokumu ʻia ma 1978 e Don Dokken. I ka makahiki 1980, ua kaulana ʻo ia no kāna mau haku mele nani i ke ʻano o ka pōhaku paʻakikī melodic. Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia ka hui i kahi kuhikuhi e like me glam metal.
I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ma mua o 10 miliona mau kope o nā album a Dokken i kūʻai ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Eia kekahi, ua koho ʻia ka album ola Beast from the East (1989) no kahi makana Grammy no ka Best Heavy Metal Performance.
I ka makahiki 1989 hoʻokahi, ua haʻalele ka hui, akā i kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai ua hoʻomaka hou lākou i kā lākou mau hana. Aia ka hui Dokken a hoʻokani me nā ʻahamele a hiki i kēia lā (ʻo ia hoʻi, ua hoʻolālā ʻia kekahi mau hana no 2021).
ʻO nā makahiki mua o ka papahana mele Dokken
Ua kapa ʻia ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hui pōhaku ʻo Don Dokken (a maopopo loa kahi i hele mai ai kona inoa). Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia i ka makahiki 1953 ma Los Angeles (California), USA. He Norewai ʻo ia, ʻo kona makuakāne a me kona makuahine he huahekili mai ke kūlanakauhale Scandinavian o Oslo.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Don i ka hoʻokani pila ma ke ʻano he leo leo i ka hopena o 1970s. A i ka makahiki 1978, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻohana i ka inoa ʻo Dokken.
I ka makahiki 1981, ua hoʻokō ʻo Don Dokken i ka manaʻo o ka mea hana Kelemania kaulana ʻo Dieter Dirks. E ʻimi ana ʻo Dieter i mea pani no ka mea hoʻokani leo Scorpions ʻo Klaus Meine ʻoiai he pilikia ʻo ia me kāna mau kaula leo a makemake ʻo ia i kahi hana paʻakikī. I ka hopena, ua manaʻo ʻo Dirks he moho kūpono ʻo Dokken.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia e komo i ka hana ʻana i ka album Scorpions Blackout, a ma hope i lilo i mea kaulana i ka honua. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kekahi mau mele me nā leo o Dokken. Akā ua hoʻi wikiwiki ʻo Klaus Meine i ka hui ma hope o ka hana. A ʻaʻole pono hou ʻo Dokken ma ke ʻano he leo.
Eia naʻe, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia ʻaʻole e haʻalele i kona manawa a hōʻike iā Dirks i kāna mau mele. Ua makemake nui ka mea hana Kelemania iā lākou. Ua ʻae ʻo ia iā Don e hoʻohana i nā lako o ke keena e hana i kāna mau demo ponoʻī. Mahalo i kēia mau demos, ua hiki iā Dokken ke hoʻopaʻa inoa i kahi ʻaelike me ka hale kiʻi Farani Carrere Records.
A laila ʻo ka hui ʻo Dokken, me ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hui, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo George Lynch (ka mea hoʻokani pila), ʻo Mick Brown (ka pahu pahu) (ua hoʻokani ʻia ʻelua ma ka hui liʻiliʻi ʻo Xciter) a me Juan Croissier (ka mea hoʻokani bass).
"Golden" manawa o ka hui
ʻO ka album mua a ka hui, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Carrere Records, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Breaking the Chains.
I ka hoʻi ʻana mai o nā lālā o ka hui pōhaku mai ʻEulopa a i ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1983, ua hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻokuʻu hou i ka album no ka mākeke US. Ua hana ʻia kēia me ke kākoʻo o Elektra Records.
He mea ʻole ka holomua o kēia album ma ʻAmelika. Akā ʻo ka album studio hou aʻe o Tooth and Nail (1984) ua lilo ia i mea ikaika a lilo i mea paʻakikī. ʻOi aku ma mua o 1 miliona mau kope i kūʻai ʻia ma US wale nō. A ma ka pakuhi Billboard 200, ua hoʻokō ka album i ke kūlana 49th. Ma waena o nā mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka moʻolelo, ʻo ia nā haku mele e like me Into the Fire and Alone Again.
I Nowemapa i ka makahiki 1985, ua hōʻike aku ka hui metala kaumaha ʻo Dokken i kahi album maikaʻi ʻē aʻe, Under Lock and Key. Ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 1 miliona mau kope i kūʻai ʻia. Ua piʻi hoʻi ma ka helu 200 ma ka Billboard 32.
He 10 mau mele kēia album. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā mele e like me: It's Not Love and The Hunter (hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ke ʻano he mau mele kaʻawale).
Akā ʻo ka LP lanakila loa a Dokken ʻo Back for the Attack (1987). Ua hiki iā ia ke lawe i ke kūlana 13 ma ka pakuhi Billboard 200. A ma ke ʻano laulā, ua kūʻai ʻia aku ma mua o 4 miliona mau kope o kēia album a puni ka honua. A ma laila e komo mai ai nā haku pōhaku paʻakikī e like me Kiss of Death, Night by Night a me Dream Warriors. Ua kani mau ke mele hope e like me ke poʻomanaʻo nui o ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni slasher A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
ʻAha hui
He mau ʻokoʻa koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi ma waena o ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo George Lynch a me Don Dokken. A ua hoʻopau ʻia me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma Malaki 1989 ua hoʻolaha ka hui mele i kona hāʻule ʻana. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻo ia ka mea i loaʻa i ka piko o ka kaulana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, i ka wā e hiki mai ana, ʻaʻole hiki iā Dokken a me Lynch ke hoʻokokoke i ka kūleʻa o ka album Back for Attack.
ʻO ka LP Beast ola o ka hui mai ka Hikina i lilo i ʻano aloha aloha i ka "fans". Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo ia i ka huakaʻi ʻana i Iapana a hoʻokuʻu ʻia i Nowemapa 1988.
ʻO ka hopena hou aʻe o ka hui Dokken
I ka makahiki 1993, no ka poʻe he nui o ka hui Dokken, ua loaʻa ka nūhou maikaʻi - ua hui hou ʻo Don Dokken, Mick Brown a me George Lynch.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui Dokken liʻiliʻi i hoʻokahi album ola ʻo One Live Night (i hoʻopaʻa ʻia mai kahi ʻaha mele 1994) a me ʻelua mau moʻolelo studio - Dysfunctional (1995) a me Shadow Life (1997). Ua ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o kā lākou hopena kūʻai. No ka laʻana, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album Dysfunctional me ka circulation o 250 tausani kope wale nō.
I ka pau ʻana o 1997, haʻalele hou ʻo Lynch i ka line-up Dokken, a ʻo Reb Beach ka mea hoʻokani pila.
I nā makahiki he 15 e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Dokken i ʻelima mau LP hou. He Hell to Pay, Long Way Home, Holoi ka Papa, Uila Hou, Ha'i Iwi.
ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ua ʻike hou ʻia ʻo Lightning Strikes Again (2008) ka mea lanakila loa o lākou. Ua loaʻa i ka LP he helu nui o nā loiloi ʻoluʻolu a hoʻomaka ma ka helu 133 ma ka pakuhi Billboard 200. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui o kēia album leo ʻo ia ka hoʻokō ʻana i kahi kani e like me nā mea o kahi hui pōhaku mai nā moʻolelo ʻehā mua.
ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu hou loa mai Dokken
Ma ʻAukake 28, 2020, ua hōʻike ʻia ka hui mele paʻakikī Dokken, ma hope o ka hoʻomaha lōʻihi, i kahi hoʻokuʻu hou "The Lost Songs: 1978-1981". He hōʻuluʻulu kēia o nā hana mana o ka hui i nalowale a i hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia ma mua.
He 3 wale nō mele i loko o kēia hōʻiliʻili i ʻike ʻole ʻia e nā "fans" o ka hui ma mua - ʻo ia ʻo No Answer, Step Into The Light and Rainbows. Hiki ke lohe mua ʻia nā mele 8 i koe.
Mai ka laina gula o ka 1980s, ʻo Don Dokken wale nō i koe i ka hui. Ua hele pū ʻo ia me John Levin (ka mea hoʻokani pila), ʻo Chris McCarville (bassist) a me BJ Zampa (ka mea hoʻokani pahu).
