Dokken's "Tooth and Nail" - an absolutely ESSENTIAL album for any fan of 80's metal/rock if you ask me. And another great album from '84....damn, that was a great year for rock & metal wasn't it?! So many great releases...

 

Anyway, now here's the tough part...what's your favorite song off of it?!

 

My favorite could change from time to time, but I'm gonna go with "Don't Close Your Eyes"! I just love the riff on that one!

Closely followed by; "Just Got Lucky", "Into the Fire" and "Alone Again".

 

Also in my opinion, this is one album that was "all killer and no filler"!

 

So, what do you think?

My answer would most likely change with my mood, but currently I'd say "Just got Lucky" would be my fave. When you're in the mood for something more "metallic" though, it's hard to beat the title track or "When Heaven Comes down". :banger:

Wow now that's a tough one but I went with DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES although WHEN HEAVEN COMES DOWN comes in a close 2nd....I also think ALONE AGAIN is one of the best power ballads ever recorded...

True statement...if you don't own this album, well shame on you. Very difficult to pick as everyone has said but I'll go with Just Got Lucky.

Well, shame on me then. Somehow I'll try to live with myself. God knows I can certainly live without this album. -_-

For no reason I can explain, my favorite song on this disc has always been Bullets to Spare. Maybe the stop and start drums got my attention, or maybe it's that Lynch's playing is unusually crisp and understated. It is definitely a nice hard rock tune on a great metal release, no matter what that silly metalmeatheadWD40 (or whatever Mark goes by these days) thinks. :nyanya:

Haven't I done a poll on this already? :unsure:

 

Here it is all the way back in 2006.

I voted for "Into the Fire" last time so that's where my vote goes this time too. :tumbsup:

Yeah, well I kinda figured that it might've been done before...

 

But I do know that there have been a lot of new members since then, that might not have took part in it before. And I was listening to it the other day, and wanted to talk about it again! haha

No worries. :headbanger:

I think there's a Tesla and a Black N Blue poll that we've done at two or three times.

    • A relatively recent discovery for me, and... damn. This will definitely NOT appeal to the vast majority of members here, but think prog metal meets Megadeth/Metallica meets Amon Amarth (with slightly less Viking).    
    • Dog Treats: Deluxe Special Edition - the Winery Dogs
    • Yeah, their last album was digital-only too. Sigh.
    • Groove Bucket - Southgang
    • Good thing with the Ghost's show, they asked the crowd to leave their phones in their pockets or place them in a bag provide at the front.
    • That guy that books all those Oz tours that never happen?
    • Gardner/James were supposed to tour Australia in January next year with Midnite City. On Midnite City's Facebook page, the tour is cancelled due the promoter didn't have financial backer. Guess, who was the promoter is, Australians?
    • From Frontiers: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to present the reissues of three classic albums from Fate. 'If Not For the Devil', 'Ghosts from the Past', and 'V' are all being made available digitally globally on December 1, 2023. The first single from these releases, "Butterfly," is out today, accompanied by a lyric video. The band says, "We are very happy to be working with Frontiers Music and are excited for these upcoming reissues. We are very proud of all three albums and are looking forward to having the fans, old and new alike, discover (or rediscover) our previous work." Following the release of their album 'Scratch'n Sniff' in 1990, Danish band FATE did several tours, both their own and with fellow countrymen, Pretty Maids. When guitarist Mattias Eklundh parted ways to focus on a solo career, he was replaced by local talent Soren Hoff, with whom the band recorded a couple of demos and did some gigs. This was 1993 and was the last we heard from FATE for quite awhile. The years went by, but Scandinavian rock fans did not forget about them. Eleven years after their demise, the guys got an offer to play at the Deep Impact Festival in Munich, Germany and they took that chance to make a comeback! Per Johansson (v), Peter Steincke (b), Soren Hoff (g) and temporary drummer Rasmus Duedahl made the trip to Munich and were met with great approval. Following this gig, the german indie label MTM Music rereleased two of FATE's albums: the classic 'A Matter Of Attitude' in July 2004, followed by the above-mentioned 'Scratch'n Sniff' in March of the next year. Overwhelmed by the unexpected response to the reissues, FATE decided to give it another shot and welcomed Mikael Kvist (from Swedish prog metal band Elsesphere) as their new drummer. 'V' was recorded and produced (by Tommy Hansen, who also did 'Scratch'n Sniff') and was greeted as the perfect follow-up for the band's fourth album, despite the gap of 16 years. All eleven songs are catchy tunes, characterized by strong hooks and the incredible voice of Per Johansson (also previously known as Per Henriksen), so reminiscent of Jorn Lande. 'V' was followed by 'Ghosts From the Past' (2011) and 'If Not For the Devil' (2013) solidifying the return of one of Copenhagen's favorite heavy metal sons. The reissues come with a total of four unreleased bonus tracks! 'If Not For the Devil' Track List: 1. Reaping 2. If Not For the Devil 3. Bridges are Burning 4. Feel Like Making Love 5. Gambler 6. Hard to Say Goodbye 7. Made of Stone 8. Man Against the Wall 9. My World 10. Turn Back Time 11. Taught To Kill 12. Gimme All Your Love 13. Chasing The Dragon (Bonus track) 'Ghosts From the Past' Track List: 1. Children of the Night 2. Miracle 3. Seeds of Terror 4. Fear of the Stranger 5. At the End of the Day 6. All That I Want 7. Follow Your Heart 8. Daddy's Girl 9. Moving On 10. Murder 11. The Last Time 12. I Believe In Rock'n'Roll 13. The Other Side 14. All I Wanna Do (Bonus Track) 'V' Track List: 1. Butterfly 2. Heaven's Crying Too 3. Everything About You 4. Ecstasy 5. Nobody Loves You the Way I Do 6. Burned Child 7. I'll Get By 8. Life 9. Fate 10. Memories Won't Die 11. Toxic 12.
