Its about time someone did..(from Metal Sludge):
I thought the last mail i sent you all was good enough but apparently your trying to anger not only don dokkens fan base, but me!
excuse me if i cant make the time to wack eloquent but this is no time for eloquence and manners but you Guys SUCK!
with all don dokkens been thru and all that he continues to go thru for the sake of making music and pursuing his art, you shun him. He keeps trying to get out, but you keep pulling him back in and you wont allow him to live and lead a peaceful normal existance!
He tryed to get out with the solo album in 91 with cuts like MIRROR MIRROR and STAY and better yet DOWN IN FLAMES or the eppitomee of love balads WHEN LOVE FINDS A FOOL---blazing and burning his own path from the quickly dying metal scene and his untrustworthy unloyal dokken bandmates. then that ingrate john pilson finds time to film that rockstar movie but ONLY after don approves of the japanese release of their first official greatest hits package and subsequint reborn reunion albomb called dysfunctional. you fans of metal CALLED for it. Don started getting wise and trying to break away from you cheap ass bandada wearing studded wrists freaks and he was being a nice guy and he let George Lynch talk him into putting out SHADOWLIFE under the dokken name! that album almost turned me away man-but i stuck-i KNEW of DONS long range plan-he wanted to branch out-but the vipers that are fans, record execs and music fans have PIGEON HOLED DON from reaching his TRUE POTENTIAL.
If you think DON is a major league suck ass then let me ask you this---HES catering to you to buy his records and make you happy----you fans and sludgenecks or whatever are ingrates. If you continue to rag on DON for supposedly inappropriate behaivor or ego trips you should take a look in a mirror and look at yourself-arent you lesser men than DON DOKKEN even if your a woman? what joy have you brought to the world? I bet if you put out an album worth listenening to, DON wouldnt say anything bad about it-you know why? well I'll tell you because he has nothing to prove his legacy is intact and he has put out albums that have inspired me to proclaim my love respect and acknowledgement of him and if you think im full of bullshit write me back and ill give you what for keep rockin don dokken .
