Alone Again

"Alone Again" is a power ballad by American heavy metal band Dokken, featured on their 1984 album Tooth and Nail. Written by vocalist Don Dokken and bassist Jeff Pilson, the song blends melodic clean tones with the expressive lead guitar work that made Dokken's guitarist George Lynch a standout figure in 1980s hard rock. It offers electric guitarists a rewarding mix of sensitive clean passages and lyrical lead phrasing, making it an excellent study in dynamic contrast and melodic soloing.

  • The song charted at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #20 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1985.
  • George Lynch's lead guitar tone on this track is a prime example of the expressive, singing sustain characteristic of 1980s hard rock ballads.
  • "Alone Again" appears on Tooth and Nail, the album widely credited with establishing Dokken as a major force in the 1980s heavy metal scene.

Amp

Marshall JCM800

The definitive rock amp of the 1980s. The JCM800's single-channel, all-tube design produces a natural, harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Every hard rock and metal guitar sound from that era ran through one of these.

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9

The most clone pedal in history. The Tube Screamer's mid-hump overdrive character pushes a tube amp into a creamy, singing lead tone while cutting bass frequencies for clarity. Stevie Ray Vaughan stacked two of them.
