On Tuesday Dokken Rules Out Extending Reunion was a top story. Here is the recap: (Classic Rock) The anticipated Dokken reunion will take place in Japan, frontman Don Dokken has confirmed - but he says he's refusing every offer to perform in the US and Europe.
The run of gigs, which are yet to be listed, take place in October, featuring guitarist George Lynch, bassist Jeff Pilson and drummer Mick Brown, who last month said plans were underway. A live DVD is to be recorded for a later release.
Describing it as a "temporary reunion," Dokken tells The Classic Metal Show: "Years ago I made a comment offhandedly, like, 'I'll do it for this amount of money.' It was like a one and a lot of zeroes.
"That was my price. Everybody said, 'You're crazy,' I said, 'Well, that's my price.' Now, 15 years later, somebody came up with that price. So I approached George and Jeff and I said, 'You guys want to make a sh*tload of money for about one week of work?'
"Basically they could make more in one week than they'd probably make in several years, so everybody said, 'Okay.'" Read more - here.
