Guitar Meets Science has shared a new mini-documentary. "This week, we dig into the wild, self-sabotaging legacy of DOKKEN - Don Dokken (vocals), George lynch (guitar), Jeff Pilson (bass) and "Wild" Mick Brown (drums) - a band so dysfunctional even their therapist quit. Behind the hits, the hair, and the harmonies was a non-stop war zone: fistfights in limos, lawsuits over the band name, and decades of ego-fueled sabotage that made their riffs seem polite by comparison. Don Dokken and George Lynch couldn't agree on who wrote what, who deserved what, or even who got to be called Dokken. Every reunion ended in disaster. Every tour was one snort, one punch, or one fax away from collapse. And yet, somehow, they kept going. This is the full story of how Dokken almost became legends, if only they could've stopped throwing grenades at each other."
