Dokken Announce Lineup Change

(Classic Rock) Dokken have split with bassist Sean McNabb and replaced him with Mark Boals. And mainman Dan Dokken says one of the reasons for the change was that McNabb didn't play with a plectrum. Boals, known for his work with Yngwie Malmsteen, does use a pick and, according to Dokken, gives the band a more aggressive sound - similar to that which they had with former bassist Jeff Pilson.

Dokken tells The Classic Metal Show: "It's hard to replace Jeff Pilson. He plays with a pick, which I like. I don't like people that play with their fingers. It's not the same. I like Peter Baltes-type bass players who play with a pick, and Sean doesn't.

"And so it didn't have a lot of 'attack.' And I needed a really killer singer that was as accomplished as Jeff Pilson. And he was sorely missed, you know. So I meet Mark Boals, who's played with Ted Nugent. He did four albums with Yngwie Malmsteen and he's a great lead singer."

Dokken also says that McNabb was not as dedicated to the band as he would have liked. Read his comments here.
