| Breaking the Chains
(Dokken, Lynch)
Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had |

Группа Дона Доккена является тем событием восьмидесятых, которые все помнят и знают до сих пор, собственно и музыка их вошла навечно в историю хард рока. А началось это всё так – вокалист и гитарист Дон Доккен в Лос-Анджелесе в 1978 году принимает решение собрать свой коллектив, причём уже второй, так как первый (Exciter) был обречён на погибель. И вот Дон начинает искать себе других членов команды, но популярность его растёт быстрыми темпами и уже не он ищет, а его находит известный продюсер Дитер Диркс, для того чтобы Дон спел партии вокала на альбоме Scorpions «Blackout» вместо Клауса Майне. Однако так не суждено было сложиться и Доккен остался только на заднем плане в качестве бэк вокала, НО он приобрёл дружбу самого Дитера Диркса, а значит приобрёл уже и продюсера. Дело оставалось за малым - состав. Так появились в группе басист Хуан Круасье, ударник Мик Браун, и гитарист Джордж Линч, сыгравший огромную роль в группе и ставший одним из главных соавторов музыкального материала. В 1981 году был заключён контракт с Carrier Records. Ориентировалась группа на традиционный хард рок европейской школы, по типу Ричи Блэкмора (Deep Purple, Rainbow) и новой волны британского хэви металла (Saxon). Альбом был записан при помощи двух мастеров своего дела - Дитера Диркса и Майкла Вагнера. Как вокалист, Дон проявляет себя как сильный, красивый и харизматичный певец. Инструментальная часть - достаточно мощный и тяжёлый хард рок, наподобие Scorpions, и немного Motley Crue. Мелодическая же сторона весьма оригинальна и свежа, хотя и классическая. Да в те времена тоже были клоны, но Доккен были скорее всего способными учениками, впоследствии продолжившими славные дела своих учителей и, что там говорить - стали сами учителями! Даже я, рецензируя различные хард рок группы, не могу не упомянуть влияние оказанное Доккеном как на современные коллективы, так и более старые. Итак, теперь непосредственно о самом содержании альбома. Нет это не шедевр, однако диск получился реально крепким и сильным. Большая половина песен на нём удачные и хорошие композиции, но есть и стопроцентные хиты, из которых я бы выделил открывающий мощный номер «Breaking The Chains», сдобренный цепляющей соло партией и драйвовыми, но к тому же очень эмоциональными и интересными гитарными риффами – эта песня классика. «Nightrider» – стремительный боевик привлекающий мелодичными куплетами. Забойный трек «Live To Rock (Rock To Live)», словно созданный для того чтобы разбивать как тараном стены и головы фэнов. Тематика песен в своём большинстве любовная и классически рок-н-ролльная. В общем, группа Доккен показала себя миру как одна из самых много ожидаемых команд, а диск получил «золото». |

Для меня Dokken не является любимым коллективом из «волосатого метала». Собственно, они - одни из легиона братьев-близнецов, не ставших звездами, но добившихся определенного успеха и признания.
Путь к умеренному успеху был долог и тернист. Возможность записать первый полноформатный альбом выпала группе после того, как Дон Доккен «метнулся» в Германию и сработал партии бэк-вокала для альбомов Scorpions и Accept. И Дитер Диркс (продюсер и тех, и других) любезно предоставил группе нереализованное время в студии. Собственно, и раскруткой альбома занимались в туре с Accept. Материал был вполне похож на немецких собратьев: среднетемповый, качающий хард, но без особого экстрима.
Ничего особенного группа не состряпала: совершенно типовой волосатый метал американского дизайна, но с немецким акцентом. Правда, в группе играли, все же, весьма солидные и техничные музыканты. Джордж Линч - запильщик авторитетный, а Дон не может похвастаться чумовым вокалом, но петь умеет.
Альбом попал аж на 136 место в "Биллборде", что следует рассматривать, как полный пролет. Хуан Крусье (басист) принял вполне разумное решение: свалил в другую группу. А группа та была – будущие мультиплатиновые Ratt. |

Can't take no more
(Chorus 1)
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year
(Chorus 2)
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
(Solo)
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
(Repeat Chorus 2)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
In the Middle
(Lynch, Dokken)
I talk with you
I think of her
It always turns out the same
I changed my mind
Then I'm not sure
Love's got me shackled in chains
Win or lose
We've lit the fuse
I've lost control
Then you explore my soul
(Chorus)
In the middle
Of love
In the middle
Of love
Torn apart
Right from the start
Is it too late to be true?
Now things have changed
We're not the same
I've lost control
Then you explore my soul
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Solo)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
In the middle
I lose control
In the middle
I lose my mind as well
In the middle
Everyday
In the middle
Love's got me chained
(Repeat Chorus and fade)
Felony
(Dokken)
Felony
In tight blue jeans
I did not know
She was so sweet
Felony

The judge said sorry
First degree
(Chorus)
You're here in my heart
Felony
You're here in my heart
Felony, felony, felony, yeah
Felony, felony, felony
Well I was shot down
By a heart so cruel
You were were laughin' yeah
You took me for a fool
I'm struck down
Left lyin' in the dirt
I never knew
How much love it hurts
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Harvard paid
Detective man
I'm in his sights
I'm on the run
Those tight blue jeans
That drove me wild
I did not know
She was just a child
Felony, yeah
(Chorus)
Felony, felony, felony
I Can't See You
(Dokken, Croucier)
You keep me waitin'
Why I don't know
Seems like forever
You know the show
I wanna see you
Don't want it to end
But when I'm callin'
You tell me again
(Chorus)
I can't see you anymore
I can't see you anymore
All my friends keep tellin' me, yeah
That I'm just a fool
But baby I can't help myself
I'm in love with you
Give me just one chance
And I'll make it right
Could be forever
Don't tell me tonight
(Repeat Chorus)
All my friends keep tellin' me, yeah
That I'm just a fool
But baby I can't help myself
I'm in love with you
Give me just one chance
And I'll make it right
Could be forever
Don't tell me tonight
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus and fade...)
Live To Rock
(Lynch, Crouchier, Dokken)
Run out of breath

Nightrider
(Dokken, Brown, Lynch)
It's late at night
I get that feeling running through my veins
You know it drives me insane
In the car, slam the door, turn the key and I'll be free
On that highway tonight
Highway bound
I'm so alive
I'm shifting into overdrive
Nightrider
Autobon
Route 61
I'll drive this road into the sun
Nightrider
My machine is tired and cool
I don't need to go to school
I'll put the hammer down and I'll leave this town
I'm racing time
The freeway just seess to unwind in front of me
And there's no return
My wheels of love
Fit me like a racing glove
Nightrider
Don't touch the brake
Don't cross the line
Don't make mistakes
'Cause you know that I'm
Nightrider
Nightrider
Here I come
The engine roars
------- and tied
I'm locked inside my doors
On a midnight run
But who klnows when
Danger lies around the bend for me
With the morning sun
Pass her by
Faster than the speed of light
Nightrider
You better run
Look out now
'Cause here I come
Nightrider
Nightrider

Stick To Your Guns
(Dokken)
Well I've been trying this for so very long
To make you understand
If you'll fight for what you need
Don't come crawling over to me
I'm not the kind of person who quits
Even when the chips are down
You gotta fight for what you want
Don't give up
Stick to your guns
You gotta fight for what you want
Gotta believe in what you do
You gotta fight for what you want
Don't give up
Stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
A hard time you've been having
Don't feel bad if you're on your own
If you fight for what you want
Things ain't gonna turn out so bad
You gotta fight for what you want
Gotta believe in what you do
You gotta fight for what you want
Don't give up
Stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
You gotta stick to your guns
Well, I'll tell you
You gotta fight for what you want
Gotta believe in what you do

Paris is Burning
(Lynch, Dokken)
This town I'm in can't take no more
Decadance is silly
You were my woman
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold
(Chorus 1)
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you are
My life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fire
Brings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all around
And I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away
(Chorus 2)
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Get back where you are
(Solo)
I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool
I'm leavin' now
This time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah
(Chorus 2)
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris (fade out)
