Pilson Hopes Dokken Reunion Will Make Positive Impression
.
(Classic Rock) Jeff Pilson says that the reunion of Dokken's classic lineup is a chance for redemption after years of negative press when they were together. Though the bassist agrees with drummer Mick Brown and vocalist Don Dokken that money is the main incentive for their run of comeback shows, he still wants to do a "great job" for the fans' sake. He tells My Global Mind: "Because bands look like they are having a fun time up on stage, it seems like it's the easiest job in the world or not really a job at all. "Most fans would say, 'Why can those guys just get it together and play. It looks like fun.' Obviously it's more than that - it's the time you spend together practicing and in negations making it all happen. "I will say that the notion that we are doing it just for the money - of course we doing it for the money. We are getting well paid and that's great." Pilson adds: "Honestly, I don't really look at it like that - I look at it as getting paid is a nice thing and this is a chance to put a positive spin on a band that got a lot of negative press. Now it's just about going out there and kicking some butt and doing a great job, not to get all caught up in the controversy that we usually get." Read more here.
