Don Dokken, Micky Dee on Drums (Motorhead); John Norum on Guitar (Europe); Billy White on guitar (Watchtower); Peter Baltes on Bass (Accept)...what a back up band!
Man.. takes me back! What great collaboration of musicians. To think Ozzy passed on George Lynch looking for a guitarist after Randy passed. Which I'm a huge fan of Jake E. Lee. A time when musicians still played instruments. There still talent out there, but the music, should say industry, lost its way. Technology has played a big part as well, in shaping where we are today. Back for the Attack is 30 years old!! Insane.
One of the most overlooked album in Don Dokken's back catalog. Great album, production wise, musicianship, and of course great songs. A classic in my opinion.
Dokken is the best band out of the 80s and in my heart of all time... I'm only 17 and still feel like I'm one of the biggest fans around. Wish I could grow up in the 80s, sucks that most young people can't appreciate good music and blast shit rappers instead of the dokkens, van halens, ratts, Zeppelins, iron maidens etc.
Don't wish your life away (my grandmother used to tell me this), I was a teenager in 80s, graduated in 84 (I'm 53 now). You can still listen to all the great music and you have better, higher quality sound systems to hear it!
I was an 80’s person too it was a awesome time. I graduated in 85. This was the best time of my life and didn’t know it. I miss those days and I really miss the people who is no longer here with me.
“Up From The Ashes” was one of the first CD’s I ever bought. I was 14 years old and saw this video on TV. As soon as the video was over, I immediately walked to the local music store and got the album. I used to blast it on my headphones while playing Golden Axe on my Sega Genesis. Good times!
I just got my copy on eBay last week. Been a Dokken fan for years and yeah, I played Golden Axe too when it came out. Just watched a walkthrough. I didn’t remember how good the soundtrack is!
I was 19 and just got to USAF technical training school in Biloxi nov 90. Bought my first CD boom box. Queensryche Empire, Dokken Up from the Ashes, and The Cure Mixed Up CDs.
Actually Jon came along after the majority of the songs were written. Billy White played most of the solos and co-wrote the majority of the songs with Don.
satchbooggy It has an American Progressive wizard named Billy White, and a European (Norwegian) neo classical - blues guitarist!!!! The bassist is German, the drummer is Swedish. Very international and diverse group!!!!!
From start to finish it's a fabulous album. Not a weak tune, wonderful vocals and guitars, flawless solos and grantine rhthym section. A must have for all rockers who love's 80's & 90's. Best solo work of Don.
I just love to see all of the positive comments posted here on this recording. I was a huge Dokken fan from the first recording saw them live numerous times. And when this came out played it constantly. And still listen to it . It is great to know that there are still people out there who can appreciate good quality polished hard rock music with great vocals and excellent instrumentation.
Don Dokken and Sebastian Bach are two of the last melodic metal heads that know how to incorporate a proper lead break into their songs. Excellent guitar work!
Yep. All those record labels saw how well this band was put together (an all-star at every position) and freaked the hell out, said "no more" and yanked everybody back. Damn shame. Glad to see Mikkey Dee in Scorpions now. Awesome.
Man, what I would give to go back to 1990 and live. The culture, the music, the women and no social media. It would be magic. I love this song and album!
Don Dokken was my teenage crush. Still is, love the music, the guitar riffs and the ballads! Underrated band of the 80's. Still rockin' tho here in 2019 . Best band ever! Nothing but love baby!❤🖐🖐🖐
i adore don dokken! sadly no one around my age knows who he is, (im 17) i can name around 20 of his songs. my friends usually look on my mp3 and see dokken and go "whos that?" i try to play them some of their greatest songs but as soon as i tell them that its an 80s band, they ignore them and go bak to listening to stuff like kesha...
Motherfuck Motley Crue. Dokken, Ratt, and Cinderella were the best for me from that era and style of music. Best metal vocalist of all time will always be Ronnie James Dio.
@spartan squid - haha! That character name is actually "Blind Melon Chitlin" (Tommy Chong). There's a song "Blind Melon Chitlin" on Cheech & Chong's Greatest Hit (1981) comedy album. check it out! czcams.com/video/hblTcG_Aq04/video.html
Don is not just a singer...he is a poet and a great composer ...ex walk away, mirror mirror, alone again, the hunter and list goes on...I prefer dokken on any other glam rock/metal band.
i don't agree too much, everybody knows they all can play very High level music. It's Just they play a genre "commercial-les" destinated to a restricted audience
I’m only 15 and all I can say is I’m a drummer and the 80’s rock and metal influenced me so much there isn’t a day where I don’t listen to at least one 80’s rock or metal album
#UpFromTheAshes is the best #Dokken record ever made. This is one of those albums that you listen to from beginning to end. There is not a bad song on this record. Like so many have already said, the #guitarwork on this album is #stunning. The stars aligned for this album and they're never be another Dokken record this good.
when i was 19 i had the strangest coincidental meeting with Jeff...he was a friend of a friend and happened to be at her house....i have to say he was one of the most down to earth people i have ever met....best memory ever!!!
Saw them four times... (With Aerosmith in '87..., Monsters of rock-'88, with scorpions and great white in '90..., but the best being in a little club in buffalo..."the blind melon"...with trixter… middle of a blinding snowstorm but wow....talk about a great time. they stayed a while hanging out drinkin, signing autographs, and just talking..... best night of the winter of 1991! Still rokken with dokken after all these years!
It was a time when their respective bands were over: Europe and Accept! Peter Baltes (bass, Accept), John Norum (guitar, Europe) and Mikkey Dee, who had been in the King Diamond band and stayed at Motorhead for 23 years until Lemmy Kilmister's death and is now on Scorpions!
"Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Seven years, I survived them all..." Heard this back when the album just came out. No doubt who he was referring to there.
Don is responsible for that Dokken sound, not George. Lynch Mob sounded like a whole new band, and this album sounded like a new Dokken album at the time. I still imagine George, Jeff Don and Mick playing these songs when I listen to Up From The Ashes to this day.
Tigress Yes ! I agree .. I've loved Dokken since day one. I only wish they could have stayed together all these years. Although they have put out a new single with all 4 original members, I wish it were a permanent thing
You are one of the oldest tigers in the world. They live only about 10-20 years old. This song was released >30 years ago. But you are still a beautiful tigress
0:39 I had to laugh when this video came out. He clearly says(and I heard it clear as day back in 1990/91) "I'll find the SOB" I was like wow because you weren't hearing that on TV back then. Also I wanted that chick at the beginning real bad back then too Such a great album and fun memories.
He is truly one of the greats but I have say he was my least fave Motorhead drummer even though he is posibly a much better drummer than Pete Gill and my number one personally fave drummer to ever live , philthy animal Taylor
Mark Chang lol I've no idea , I never listened to them , all I can say is that they rock out like hurricanes lol I really like that song but it's pretty much all i know by them , I would like to download their discography , I bet they are really good
Just seen dokken in bay city and he was absolutely awesome! We so appreciate his commitment to his fans. At 70 years old and the health issues he’s had none of us would be doing it. Thank you don!
A TOTALLY underrated album - I bought the cassette the day it came out in 1990. Don't get me wrong - Lynch Mob is good too - but I like Don Dokken's way of making every song on the down beat - just like real life.
Great musicians in this band. King Diamonds drummer. Enough said. Real musicians making real music. Love this album. Loved play8ng drums to this album.
Robby Folsom What are you talking about?? Mikkey is MILES above Blotzer. They look nothing alike either so I have no clue where that reference came from.
Billy White was great. I read an interview where he said playing this music was "too easy," so, he moved on and was never heard again. I wish I could play like that and claim it was too easy.
Sad story but with a happy ending!! I loved Dokken but didn’t know he went out on his own! I was in Germany with the Army in 1997. Found this CD in a throw away bin for 2.99 ! Looked and found several more copies!! And I still rock this album all the time!!!
As a big fan of George Lynch and Dokken (the band)... this is how Dokken should have sounded live; 2 guitarist's that kick @ss!! Don Dokken is an awesome guitar player yet for some reason (hm???) he let George handle it all. Never worked live!! ~ These guys live (in this video) were the bomb!! BRAVO!!
Members of Dokken,King Diamond,Accept,Watchtower and Europe! Wow! Talk about a "Supergroup"! It only lasted for this one album but what a great album it was/is! Billy White is a fantastic guitarist. I wonder why he (seemingly) just fell off of the face of the Earth after this album. His Watchtower stuff is awesome!
SabuPtolemy THANKS for the info! I appreciate it! I'm not up on Flamenco music,though I do think that it is amazing! Billy definitely has the skill to play ANYTHING and play it well!
Noor Bjs, Makes you wonder how much both of these guitar players were influenced by Lynch, because both of their solos sound like it could be George, especially a couple things the last guy did...
Dafyd Maddz, definitely good players. I’m just saying the solos sound like they’re trying to sound like Lynch at the tome, that’s all. I know Chris Moore, Lynch’s drummer in two of his bands, mainly the one with singer Corey Glover in it, and I’m amazed with George’s work ethic, and how many bands he has now. And now he’s got yet another band with a new singer I’ve never heard of! Sounds great! Have you seen the new video?
I loved this and the first Lynch Mob record. As a Dokken fan, I think Don and George created something great in their post-Dokken effort. Such a shame they both got buried.
+Amanda Moya I know isn't it sad how we have forgot who all these 80s hair metal guys are I mean when I visited LA on Holiday in 2013 I was the only person at Universal city walk to recognise CC Deville from Poison he was stood outside the hard rock cafe having a smoke and I managed to get a photo with him and an autograph while people justy walked by as if he was a nobody lol
+Christopher Michael Ayres That's the case with a lot of celebrities who are way past there peak of fame, especially musicians. Eventually only the elite are easily remembered.
Back in 2006,Cinderella,Quiet Riot,Ratt and Firehouse played in Victoria,Tx. It was the first rock show ever and had a sell-out crowd of 3000! They was actually turning people away. Anyway,half of Cinderella and Firehouse was eating in the food court and not one person recognize them!lol
The rock never stops tour came to my country Kevin dubrow firehouse and Ratt all were at the beach and nobody recognized them only me and two more dudes.
Don Dokken, Micky Dee on Drums (Motorhead); John Norum on Guitar (Europe); Billy White on guitar (Watchtower); Peter Baltes on Bass (Accept)...what a back up band!
Micky Dee, drums on King Diamond too.
He wasn't in Motörhead until after this.
@@kingofdragontown9680 and Scorpions
Man.. takes me back! What great collaboration of musicians. To think Ozzy passed on George Lynch looking for a guitarist after Randy passed. Which I'm a huge fan of Jake E. Lee. A time when musicians still played instruments. There still talent out there, but the music, should say industry, lost its way. Technology has played a big part as well, in shaping where we are today.
Back for the Attack is 30 years old!!
Insane.
Kevin Granquist I wish this line up would get back together for one more run before we all go
Thanks dad for hanging onto those Dokken cassette tapes.. lucky to have grown up with this band. Sadly no one even knows who they are at my age. 🤦♀️
I do
Raised you right
This was not a super band....this was a MEGA band...what a record!!!! Still keep the vinyl at home like a treasure.
Every song on the album is a masterpiece!
Some of Donnie's best 💪💪
Y tanto son buenísimos ,
I lived right in the middle of it all I'm stuck in the 80's musically one of the best eras for music I wouldn't trade it for the world
Yes, even tho this is a '90s song bt most of the best songs of Dokken r n the '80s & a tap bit n the '70s, i luv Don Dokken.
Absolutely
@Pine Barrens Mmm, No, 1989 is the last & final yr of the '80s, this was 1990 which was the 1st yr of the '90s, the decade starts @ #0.
You were really lucky man, I'm just 26 but I'm pretty sure that the 💯 percent of music I listening to everyday is from 80's or before
I'm right there with you brotha!!
One of the most overlooked album in Don Dokken's back catalog. Great album, production wise, musicianship, and of course great songs. A classic in my opinion.
His best work solo
@@patriotide8750 hopefully some day they'll release a reissue, remastered, remix with bonus tracks,live stuff and hopefully a live or in studio DVD.
In my opinion, the best Dokken album, ever. Under Lock and Key rivals this, but my nod goes to Up From the Ashes.
@@KenLeet interesting. I have to take a double take when listening to this classic Dokken album. Sorry Don Dokken solo album.
Couldn't agree more
Dokken is the best band out of the 80s and in my heart of all time... I'm only 17 and still feel like I'm one of the biggest fans around.

I was an 80’s person too it was a awesome time. I graduated in 85. This was the best time of my life and didn’t know it. I miss those days and I really miss the people who is no longer here with me.
Dokken & Winger are the best
You and me both my friend
80's were the best no way to recreate that magical time. I loved every minute of it.
“Up From The Ashes” was one of the first CD’s I ever bought. I was 14 years old and saw this video on TV. As soon as the video was over, I immediately walked to the local music store and got the album. I used to blast it on my headphones while playing Golden Axe on my Sega Genesis. Good times!
Great story!
Dr St That was back when teenagers had to actually BUY music and video games.
Kids these days will never know the struggle. 🤣
Bang Bang I remember them days well, can’t believe this is still the same world.
I just got my copy on eBay last week. Been a Dokken fan for years and yeah, I played Golden Axe too when it came out. Just watched a walkthrough. I didn’t remember how good the soundtrack is!

This is one of the best vocal performances by Don ever
I agree. If only he could still sing like that. He recently went through surgery and had a couple of vocal chords destroyed.
I don't agree, his best vocal performance was Back for the attack, and second best was Under lock and key.
@@lrn_news9171 I love all his vocals, this is just my favorite
One of the best line-ups ever in Hard Rock history

I forgot how much I loved this song... Don's voice is one of my favorites. No matter what groups I listen to I always go back to Dokken.
Serious question: are you a fan of the Scorpions?
Oh I'm with you sister. I feel the same!
What a record man. The solos were killer!! John norum delivered
Actually Jon came along after the majority of the songs were written. Billy White played most of the solos and co-wrote the majority of the songs with Don.
The guitar work on this album is so great
+Phoenix van der Weyden Bom dia linda!!!
Lucas Jardim Hi Lucas !! Bom dia :)
up from the ashes was as good or better than any dokken album !
Phoenix van der Weyden Yes, agree!
satchbooggy It has an American Progressive wizard named Billy White, and a European (Norwegian) neo classical - blues guitarist!!!!
The bassist is German, the drummer is Swedish. Very international and diverse group!!!!!
I love Don Dokken! I used to hangout at the Rainbow & go to all the after parties!love that era!!,😍🥰💋
That's awesome!
WOW!!! 😱
Mikkey Dee (King Diamond, Motörhead, Helloween, Scorpions), Peter Baltes (Accept), John Norum (Europe)... That was a underrated supergroup 🤘
Don't forget Billy white from watchtower
Mickey Dee, did not record with Helloween.
John norum is my guitar hero ! No one is better then him reaallly

Yep. All those record labels saw how well this band was put together (an all-star at every position) and freaked the hell out, said "no more" and yanked everybody back. Damn shame. Glad to see Mikkey Dee in Scorpions now. Awesome.
Up from the ashes is one of my favorite albums ever!! Two guitar players is always badass,
Wasn't a side project. Dokken was broken up at that point. Great album I totally agree
Great Lynch Mob record same year. 1990
Love Dokken & Don Dokken supergroup !!
This album is an absolute masterpiece
Man, what I would give to go back to 1990 and live. The culture, the music, the women and no social media. It would be magic. I love this song and album!

I think it's GREAT you like this. This music will be around longer than the stuff that is out there now. You keep rockin!!
Thanks
You should kill them (:
Check out Lynch mob!
I know them :3
I will always like and listen to Dokken,s music, everybody I knew liked Motley Crue, Ratt, Van Halen, Quiet Riot, etc, I chose Dokken as my guys.
I chose them all
Me and my buddy Dom felt the same way, I also agree with Metalsalvation.
Good bunch but RATT had downs !
I like all of bands you mentioned, but I like more yet Alice Cooper and Scorpions!
Motherfuck Motley Crue. Dokken, Ratt, and Cinderella were the best for me from that era and style of music. Best metal vocalist of all time will always be Ronnie James Dio.
That whole album was unbelievable. Guitar work was perfect!
DOKKEN IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST BANDS IN AMERICA.
It is said that Blind Millin Chilin' has been searching for Don Dokken ever since.
@spartan squid - haha! That character name is actually "Blind Melon Chitlin" (Tommy Chong). There's a song "Blind Melon Chitlin" on Cheech & Chong's Greatest Hit (1981) comedy album. check it out!

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
Seven years, I survived them all..."

The second solo is John Norum.
Billy White played the first, and lead guitar on the album. John played rhythm, and that tasty second solo.
Sad story but with a happy ending!! I loved Dokken but didn’t know he went out on his own! I was in Germany with the Army in 1997. Found this CD in a throw away bin for 2.99 ! Looked and found several more copies!! And I still rock this album all the time!!!

SabuPtolemy THANKS for the info! I appreciate it! I'm not up on Flamenco music,though I do think that it is amazing! Billy definitely has the skill to play ANYTHING and play it well!
SabuPtolemy I will definitely have to check his stuff out!
thanks to the uploader, real nice stuff, i been following these guys stuff for years.
swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy don dokken
hey now, John Norum very respectable player . . .
John Norum is a great guitarist considering it's not even the "Final Countdown" yet...lol
Best guitarist ever in my opinion
Noor Bjs, Makes you wonder how much both of these guitar players were influenced by Lynch, because both of their solos sound like it could be George, especially a couple things the last guy did...
Dafyd Maddz, definitely good players. I’m just saying the solos sound like they’re trying to sound like Lynch at the tome, that’s all. I know Chris Moore, Lynch’s drummer in two of his bands, mainly the one with singer Corey Glover in it, and I’m amazed with George’s work ethic, and how many bands he has now. And now he’s got yet another band with a new singer I’ve never heard of! Sounds great! Have you seen the new video?
Dafyd Maddz, love KXM the most, as I’ve been a big fan of King’s X since 1988... 🙌🏼
Underated song!
Kitty Pie: Dokken rules! Glad to see you a fan!
Always loved this song...great riff, and vocals
the best ever
Mikkey Dee kills this!
do not forget , billy white from watchtower on guitar , first solo !!
john norum solo , lot of harmonizer :-)
wow I love dokken and my dad john norum forever.
Hell yeah his bends and note choices are really tasteful too!
2:18 You know the 1990 have arrived, when you start spotting BMWs in american videos ;)
?
I had one in 1980. They weren’t uncommon in LA.
without George, Dokken can't express dangerous tension・・・
I loved this and the first Lynch Mob record. As a Dokken fan, I think Don and George created something great in their post-Dokken effort. Such a shame they both got buried.
Great song and video can't get enough of this song !!!!!
This guy don dokken just came to my job. I didn't even know who he was ti'l now.
+Amanda Moya I know isn't it sad how we have forgot who all these 80s hair metal guys are I mean when I visited LA on Holiday in 2013 I was the only person at Universal city walk to recognise CC Deville from Poison he was stood outside the hard rock cafe having a smoke and I managed to get a photo with him and an autograph while people justy walked by as if he was a nobody lol
+Christopher Michael Ayres That's the case with a lot of celebrities who are way past there peak of fame, especially musicians. Eventually only the elite are easily remembered.
Back in 2006,Cinderella,Quiet Riot,Ratt and Firehouse played in Victoria,Tx. It was the first rock show ever and had a sell-out crowd of 3000! They was actually turning people away. Anyway,half of Cinderella and Firehouse was eating in the food court and not one person recognize them!lol
The rock never stops tour came to my country Kevin dubrow firehouse and Ratt all were at the beach and nobody recognized them only me and two more dudes.
OZZY ZIG,
It’s normal to see people in LA. We give them space, though if it were George Lynch, I’d probably spaz out.
Mikkey Dee from King Diamond on drums also motorhead
Don is the best singer:)
love this man! from my early teens to now! Memories :)
