Dream Warriors

"Dream Warriors" is a hard rock track by Dokken, written by guitarist George Lynch and bassist Jeff Pilson for the 1987 horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Released as a single that year, it reached number 22 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and closes out Dokken's fourth album, Back for the Attack. The song is a strong choice for electric guitar players looking to study George Lynch's melodic lead style and signature riff construction.

  • George Lynch co-wrote the track, making it a prime study in his distinctive lead guitar phrasing and tone.
  • The song was composed specifically for a major Hollywood horror film, giving it a cinematic energy that drives its guitar parts.
  • As the closing track on Back for the Attack, 'Dream Warriors' serves as a definitive showcase of Dokken's 1987 sound.

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.
