Tooth and Nail

Not sure what Don Dokken did to piss off the Creature from the Black Lagoon but considering how much his guitarist George “Mr. Scary” Lynch hated him it had to be something pretty bad. Their first four albums (and subsequent live document) all pretty much rip. Record number two just has that extra bite.  Poppier then their debut, the tension between Lynch and Dokken proves key here – their volatile chemistry gives tunes like the title track, Freddy Krueger fave “Into the Fire,” and “Just Got Lucky” that killer edge.
