Under Lock and Key

Yeah.

I don't think those are as strong as Breaking the Chains, Under Lock and Key, and, um, Tooth and Nail.

Mm-hmm.

Not even, not even close song-wise.

Yep.

I don't think those are as strong as Breaking the Chains, Under Lock and Key, and, um, Tooth and Nail.

Mm-hmm.

Not even, not even close songwise.

I don't think so.

At number 108, Under Lock and Key by Dokken, topped out at number 32, was On The Way Down.

This was Dokken's third studio album, The Hunter was the first single released, flopped.

In My Dreams was next, topped out at number 77 on the Hot 100, and then It's Not Love was released, and it didn't chart, but it was all over MTV at that point.

Under Lock and Key, desert island album for me, and with Tooth and Nail before it and Back With The Attack after it, perfect trifecta.

At 101, we got Turbo by Priest, topped out at 17, was on the way down.

Their 12th studio album, and in my opinion, their most tolerable album.

To me, Face the Day and She Shakes Me are probably the best songs on the record.

And whether they care or they don't care, their reputation just keeps on getting beaten.

And that, as a fan, as somebody that cares about these, these songs, these albums, this music, as somebody that fucking played Van Halen I nine billion times, and played Under Lock and Key for anybody that would listen to it, and played fucking Shout at the Devil for anybody that, that c- their parents wouldn't let them listen to it.

To see these shells of what they used to be, and being like, "Yeah, I'm still a fan, God damn it."

It is your classic metal show right here on the classicmetalshow.com from the Under Lock and Key release, that is, The Hunter, and just before that, we heard, uh, Scribble with Cursed.

Yeah.

Cursed.

... should be some repeats on this album.

Dokken, Under Lock and Key, I think-

Mm.

Big uh-

I still love the song, but it was just like, "Okay, a little done."

That album sounds so good, too, sonically.

It's like, it's like Under Lock and Key, but with some edge to it, but in real clarity.

Yeah.
