Dokken "Under Lock and Key" (1985): Track by Track!

Jason and Dee of the Surely You Can’t Be Serious Podcast are unlocking the vault on Dokken’s 1985 hard rock masterpiece Under Lock and Key! In this episode, they take a song-by-song journey through the album, uncovering the stories behind the music, the band’s rise to Sunset Strip fame, and the lasting impact they had on the glam metal era.

But behind the soaring vocals and shredding solos was a toxic relationship between bandmates—a tension that would eventually bring the group down. Jason and Dee pull back the curtain on the feuds, the egos, and the chaos that helped shape, and ultimately fracture, the band.

Finally, the gloves come off as they compare Under Lock and Key to Ratt’s Invasion of Your Privacy. Two killer albums from the early '80s Sunset Strip scene—only one can win their final judgment. Which will it be? 🎙️🎸🔥
