Certainly it has been true of a number of superstar acts, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who, all units that have experienced their fair share of inter band enmity. The same can be said of Dokken, the Los Angeles based band featuring frontman Don Dokken and exceptional guitarist George Lynch; two men who, no matter how hard they tried, just couldn't see eye to eye yet managed to craft some of the most crucial hard rock of the 1980s. The recording of this, their second, album was beset with problems. At the forefront of their discontentment being a failure to agree on a producer. The first incumbent, studio veteran Tom Werman (Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent) quickly downed tools to be replaced by British studio legend Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, Journey) but only working a day shift, with just three members of the band, before handing over the keys to Michael Wagener to record with Don Dokken at night. It was a bizarre arrangement for sure, but one that, ultimately, produced exciting, if stressful to, results. Originally issued in 1984, `Tooth And Nail' leapt out of the starting blocks with all guns blazing, confounding the critics and captivating their audience with an array of classy hard rock, big on hooks and full of energy. Songs such as `Into The Fire', `Heartless Heart' and the power ballad `Alone Again' helped to place Dokken firmly in the big league, providing them with a platinum album.
