Dokken, 72, reformed the classic lineup of his self-titled band in 2016, marking the first time he shared the stage with guitarist George Lynch, bassist Jeff Pilson, and drummer Mick Brown since 1997. "We did an experiment, and we said, 'We'll write one song together,'" he explained on the Dec. 25 episode of The SDR Show. "And that was 'It's Another Day.' We recorded it [and] made a cool video."
If this was a test to see if the band—notorious for its infighting—could get along, they failed.Or, Don did. "We did the Japanese tour. It was a disaster, mostly because of me. I just wasn't on my game," he said. "We just came back, and I said, 'I don't think this is gonna work. So that was the end of that."

"So I approached George and Jeff, and I said, 'You guys wanna make a s--tload of money for about one week of work?' And I told them the price, and I told them how much I wanted and how much they'd make, and, basically, they could make more money in one week than they'd probably make in several years," he added. "And so everybody said, 'Okay.'"
Will There Be a Future Dokken Reunion?
Don revealed on The SDR Show that he and George Lynch have buried the hatchet. George has also appeared alongside Don at recent Dokken shows. "We're old," he said. "We're too old to bicker and fight."
"'I'm not trying to insult you, George, but I've listened to all your records. It has to be Dokken,'" explained Don. "That's what the fans want."
