Dysfunctional (Dokken Album)
''Dysfunctional'' is the fifth studio album by heavy metal band Dokken, released in 1995. It was the band's first release after reuniting in 1993. Originally intended to be a Don Dokken solo album, it morphed into a Dokken album when guitarist George Lynch was brought back into the fold, with Jeff Pilson and Mick Brown already on board. The original album was produced for the Japanese market and released there in December 1994 on JVC/Victor, simply titled ''Dokken''. When Sony Music signed the band to the label internationally, the album was remixed and three additional songs recorded, "Hole In My Head", a cover of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's " From the Beginning", and "If the Good Die Young" (the bonus track on the Japanese version). This last song is a heavily re-worked new version of the song "Snake Eyes", which Jeff Pilson had recorded with his post-Dokken band, Flesh & Blood (eventually re-named War & Peace). "Snake Eyes" was finally released as part of the War & Peace - '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The single reached #64 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and #20 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1985. The song was written by singer Don Dokken and bassist Jeff Pilson. Composition Don Dokken wrote the song in 1975 or 1976, when he was 22 or 23, recorded it on a cassette, and it stayed in a closet for nearly a decade. During the recording of '' Tooth and Nail'', many other glam metal bands at the time were releasing ballads, so Elektra Records told Dokken they needed a ballad. This prompted Don to search his closet and rediscover the song, which he reworked with bassist Jeff Pilson in the studio. "People ask me all the time, 'Who did you write it about?' I don't know. 'Was it about a girlfriend?' I don't know! I just wrote it. My memory's not that good," said Dokken. Music video Its lyrics talk about a man's depression after a break-up. ...

The song peaked at number 27 on the Billboard mainstream rock chart. In 1985, while Dokken toured with Dio in Hawaii, the band decided to film a video for the single, “Just Got Lucky”. They wanted to film Lynch’s guitar solo atop an active volcano. While filming, seismic activity developed and steam started coming up, making it difficult for him to breathe. He said he could feel the heat through his shoes, but continued playing on. As night fell, park rangers came to warn the band and crew they needed to leave immediately. They were on the plane when the volcano later blew, and the camera crew spent about an hour circling the eruption for extra footage. The song was performed live in Tokyo, Japan in April 1988 and was released in November 1988 on ''Beast from the East''. It was also included on the 1999 compilation, ''Th ...
