Episode 555-Dokken-Under Lock And Key

This week on America’s Podcast — maybe a little dysfunctional, definitely loud — family member Travis Perrotta joins us as we crank up the Way Back Machine and rocket straight into the 1980s. You know, back when the riffs were hard, the melodies were massive, the jeans were tighter than your cable budget, and MTV actually played music.
We’re diving into Under Lock and Key by Dokken — the album that somehow got recorded without the band entering a full-on steel cage match. How did they survive those sessions without someone getting power-chorded into next week? We may never know. But when you’ve got guitar wizard George Lynch firing off riffs like a neon lightning bolt, something magical (or at least very loud) is bound to happen.
Will lightning strike? Or will this record turn into a Badlands-style nightmare? No spoilers — you’ll have to tune in to find out if it truly Unchains the Night… or just tangles it up in Aqua Net and attitude.
🔥 Tracks of the Week 🔥
Jerry: “Wicked Sensation” – Lynch Mob
Travis: “Those Shoes” – Eagles
Mooger: “Is This the Real You?” – Sevendust
Marc: “Blackout” – Scorpions
Until next week — don’t let the drama get to you. Don’t be a Dokken… just Unchain the Night and Let It Rock.
We’re outta here. 🤘
