Dokken - Breaking The Chains Lyrics

OK, so the video is extremely embarrassing, but George Lynch was a premium level rock guitarist even back then, and he still is now.

"Hair band" is an excuse for kids that simply can't play guitar worth a sh!t.

I'm 17 years old I'm just glad for my dad showing me this era this is real music pure talent. Today's music is boring nothing but sex drugs and cars it's so stupid I just wish this era could be reborn

Awesome band and song. I love the 1980s. Greatest decade of all time,i had so much fun.

Thanks ray

Great music, MTV was just getting off the ground. MTV rocked back then. Some videos were cheesy. They targeted the younger audience forsure. I was hooked from the beginning. Love this band G. Lynch is a guitar hero of mine

This is one my favorite metal bands

CuntSuffering shit

well just take me all the way back to the six or seventh grade

Mar 7! 🤘💀🤘

These guys and White Lion are classic 80s glam rock 🎸🎶

George Lynch just walked in from a snow storm 😄

Believe me...these haircuts will come again....

Hair Nation at its best. Rock on!

They got more make up than the girl in the video and more feminine too

I will love these guys with all my heart till the day I die. Not everyone can come together and create something as magnificent as they did! Four such extremely talented men as Don, Mick, George and Jeff don’t all end up in the same place and not create a thing of beauty. I miss those days.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful song!

"no no, nobody is laughing at you...you guys look really cool!"

Imagine guys dressing like that nowadays.

@That Guitar Channel ever been to San Fran?

@zepsett nah, man

Dokken opening for Twisted Sister. Radio City Music. FUCK YEAH!

Who's tired of being asked if they're here or listening in 2019? Or 2020? Or any year?

I am. But not as tired as I am of hearing about, "When I listen to X... so do my neighbors."

@Eric Dodson good call.

It's very annoying! I used to like going to videos to read the comments. Now, I have to scroll through all of the "who is listening in...?"

Listening in 2076 and there is no trace of you Greg

365 b.c anyone?

All you can do is break the chains baby

Breaking the Chain

Great song

This is my era...turned 12 in 1980 and lived my whole teenage life through the 80's....and if I didn't know better I'd swear this was an exaggerated spoof on 80's hair bands and 80's videos. This video is so over the top cheesy it doesn't seem real. Lol

Wait Isn't that girl in 1:34 the same girl in the music video for Rosanna by Toto.

2020 still watching & listening.

thanks for sharing?

3:03 George Lynch has got Don tied up in his/their bedroom! Oh my God, you maniacs!

💘🇺🇾😘

more like who wants a good laugh at 80's cheese metal. hair metal is the best vaudeville of the 80's

0:56 epic!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG- These Dokken guys are so lucky, what a cheesy video... everything is embarrassing everything, the explotions,, the chains, the girl... the moves, the Kajagoogoo haircut of George Lynch........ if Winger got fucked by the "Seventeen Video" Dokken should not exist but this cheese crappy, horrible video...... really funny

You said you loved me
(I love you)
You'll come back
(I'll come back)
😂

Buena canción de dokken. Mi parte favorita del video es cuando rompen las cadenas el guitarrista lynch. Grandioso

Dokken always seemed....idk...a little fem to me. And wtf is up with his sheen legs. Shaved?

sometimes the video would kill the song...........

I was born in the mid 90s and like I had a huge huge huge 80s rock/ metal phase that started when I was 12.
This song really spoke to 13 year old me.
I still love Dokken so much

Love too hear that someone your age likes this music so much meaning💖💖

Jesus Christ..this is probably the shiftiest, cheesiest music video i have ever seen actually released by a music artist/band. Good lord, this is bad.

Camped out for tickets to Dokken and Loverboy in 1984.Left 2 songs into loverboys set.Dokken kicked there ass

Love it

Was 13 when this came out and it blew my mind!!! What a great band. Quick to the DeLorean!!!!

Lynch is the best guitarist of all time no contest!!!

V ROCK!!!!!

I don't remember seeing this video although it was a fav in the 80's....I'm 54....then again girls were the focus....but then again...it isn't like I have to have my dick sewed back on so I have more time to watch

Dokken is NOT from Canada my bad

When I purchased this song on Google play it was the live version only which is faster paced than this the studio version

A guitar with chains as strings?!?

I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year

This was awesome as hell!

Came here from Beyooooonds’ Atsui

Power Hour. Any Canadians remember that show on Much More Music in the early 2000s?

beyooooonds から来ました！
日本のアイドルはこちらをパロって面白い曲を出してますー！

BEYOOOOONDSから来たw

Autotune: I can help you sing.
Don Dokken: hold my beer

Who's watching in 2021?

Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change

Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more

Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains

Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try

I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year

Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains

Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive

I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free

2x
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains

the chain strings cracked me up hahah

Lots of talent right there.

That girl in the video was the girlfriend of the director. Lynch expressly told him NOT to put her in but the director went behind his back, Lynch only found out when he saw the final version that was already airing, turns a somewhat cool video into an unnecessary comedy!

george lynch played guitar with one hand broke all of his band mates out of their chains and looked awesome the whole time. what a badass.

This song is awesome! This video is something else. I just realized Don Dokken's robe in the bed scenes is just a karate gee with no pants. Very cool he achieved black belt status.

Still jamming in 2019 Crank this one up!!

Great live band. Seen'm in 1988. One of the best guitarists out there. George is a guitar God.

Bunch of posers.

Lynch is so damn good!

Wow, they filmed the intro in Luigi's Mansion??

There are at least a couple of good reasons why not many songs of this genre are covered nowadays. 1) They're already perfect and 2) cannot be touched by anyone save the original artists.

NWA POWER brought me here.

Do sertanejo universitário e do pagode prefiro o heavy metal mesmo porra silvio head banger vulture metal massacre caralho

The kid in Dio's "Rock N' Roll Children"...totally a George Lynch clone :-P

Not really...

My chains were not broken. There was just a replacement.
The whore is definitely gone, and I chose someone who's not part of your dirty scheme! Simple as that...

Great radio station from gta vcs

Mi grupo preferido. Ha marcado mi vida. Gracias Dokken.

That dude has a pretty powerful guitar.

Okay, but how did he get the letter today if she sent it yesterday?

Letter carriers just aren’t that good. I’m calling shenanigans!

Progetto

🥀🖤🥀Amazing Song🥀🖤🥀🤘

Dokken takes you back...Motley Crew, Ratt, Bon Jovi, Cinderella to name a few others

MGTOW anthem!

MGTOW who can use their knowledge of rock guitar to change physical properties of things? It might almost make up for divorcee judge/prosecutor/counsel trifecta I experienced. All 100% legal BTW.

Lots of good memories of DOKKEN and the eighties!♥️

Dokken should of had more success than what they got

Exactly! I'm obssesed with Dokken and I'm 23 years old girl. I want to live in 80s! 😭

Ok, enaugh cheese for today

song is awsum video is too embaresing

whoever stole this cassette out of my car in 1987 , i want it back. DOKKEN rocks it.

Златна музика, златни години. Искам времето да е спряло тогава.

DOKKEN - 1983
PS2 - GTA VCS 2002
CLASSIC ROCK 2019 - 2020🎸

Great song but this video might just well be the cheesiest ever made. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Sophomore in high school, Hollywood High when this album came out. I'll be 54 in a couple of weeks, but my soul will always be 15...forever!!

I was in my mid 20s in the 80s, I lived it, loved it, and breathed it. If you didn't live it, then you missed the best decade in the history of time. A time when the music was Awesome, the women were Awesome, and life was so simple. So what happened? 2019, the music sucks, the women are mean and life ain't so easy. Give me back the 80s pleasssssssssssssssssssssssssssse.

George Lynch, one of the most original guitar players ever. And sorry folks, I agree with his politics and think he's totally on point!

Oct 2019!!

Great song! ImI.

THIS is a perfect example of how cheesy the 80's was. Back then... I was into: RUSH, Dio, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, King Diamond, etc...

Excellent song. ☕

This is why people hate hair metal

What people? Haters?

This sucks more than anything that has ever sucked, so I guess it's pretty cool.

Metal or not, George Lynch is one of the greatest rock guitarists from the 1980,s

George Lynch is my spirit animal...
