Former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson, who is now with Foreigner, recently guested on the Rockin’ Interviews Podcast. During the chat he looked back on his days with Dokken.
Pilson: "I always thought it was a mistake on our Under Lock And Key record (1985) to put out 'The Hunter' first. The reason we put out 'The Hunter' first is our management at the time: they fell in love with that song before there were even vocals on it. I always thought that we should have put out 'It's Not Love' first because, especially - this is late ’85, early ’86 - it would’ve given us a big anthem. I think it would've kicked off the album in a much stronger way. Put that song out, then 'In My Dreams', I think we would’ve been rocking."
