OK, I had a very bizarre dream last night. I was playing bass for Dokken at a very small show. I was playing bass, even though Jeff Pilson was there. He's the only member of the group I talked to. George was playing guitar. Don Dokken was looking like a load and was more interested in talking than playing any songs. We were playing through rented gear that was beyond crappy. I do remember that I was playing a Peavey bass like the one I used have except with a single super-ferrite pickup. The bridge appeared to be pulling away from the body. I was able to fake my way through the bass parts.
Eventually I realized I had my DK2M in my hands. We broke into a Metallica song (don't know why, can't remember which one it was) as I ran around like a madman as I was playing. We got to the solo part when I realized I didn't know the solo. So I winged it. It absolutely ripped.
At the end it was like I was watching what appeared to be a bootleg DVD of the performance. At the end there was a track listing. Of the 12 tracks we played, three had names. The rest were "??????????" because Don was blabbering and no one was sure what the heck we were playing.
I have no idea where any of this came from.
