Man I loved this song and I loved that fact that my hard rock, heavy metal, or whatever you want to call it had gone mainstream in being a soundtrack in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
I remember hearing it for the first time at …I think it was a gymnasium when I was about 16 or 17 or so, for a basketball game between St Mary’s and I couldn’t even begin to recall the other team.
Anyway, I asked the kid playing the music during the intermission who this was as it was a great song and when he said Dokken; I was floored.
I had been a huge fan of their first handful of albums, but news back then was not as easy to acquire. Â
We got it from either MTV or Much Music, Circus Magazine, or from the kid at the basketball game.
Great tune, Enjoy
