Dokken Singer: ‘We Were Never a Hair Band!’



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – The singer from the 1980s metal band Dokken has a big bomb to drop – he insists Dokken was never a hair band. Don Dokken says although his group got lumped together with hair bands like Poison and RATT, it was the band’s record label that forced them into dressing up for album covers and concerts. According to Dokken, they were really just jeans and t-shirts guys who weren’t comfortable with things like make-up, fingerless gloves and hairspray. Dokken says the liner notes of his new record Long Way Home, shows a picture of how he and his band has really always dressed – “simply, and in all black.”
