'Alone Again' Vs. 'Alone Again'

Dokken had a hit with "Alone Again" back in 1984. The song is on the Tooth and Nail album. The track is great, but I personally can't listen to it anymore. I have heard it so many times, that I never seek it out when actively listening to Dokken. When the track comes on Hair Nation, I go to another station.

Now there's another "Alone Again" making waves. Asking Alexandria has a big success with their song - in fact, it is the band's first number 1 radio hit (active rock category). I am a fan of the band, but I do love metalcore in general. Also, the guitar work is just fantastic. The Asking Alexandria song is on the album See What's On The Inside. At this point in time, I choose the Asking Alexandria version over Dokken. What do you think?

No contest. It is Dokken all the way and not even close. Alone Again belongs in the Hair Metal Hall of Fame!

As much as I love the Dokken "alone" I think I like the "asking" version better! I think its called the chorus but it has a "Rammstein" feel which i dig! alley-kat keep the metal-core posts coming, please.

'@jeff i agree with you about the hall of fame! classic classic tune! I think the tune comes from two different camps. Dokken is woe is me. asking is about " i'm over this shit. hahahah

Dokken. Just Dokken. It doesn't even come up for a vote at COP25. Everyone agrees!

And why would anyone ask Alexandria anything? Just curious. And notice that I asked you, not them.

Fun fact: Dokken is going to release a new album entitled _Love Songs_. It will include "Burning Like A Flame" played twelve times! I think there might be some cool outtakes as well.
