George Lynch(I)

Was a member of metal band Dokken 1981 - 1988 and 1994 - 1997.

[on doing power ballads] I think we felt it was a necessary evil. I mean, our power ballads were our most successful songs. Personally, the things I liked least about Dokken were some of the things we were recognized for the most and had the most success with. But when you get to the point where you start making music because it's the music you're supposed to make rather than what you wanna make, you're definitely compromising, but that's what we did.
