“Jeff Pilson called me and asked if I would play some solos. I had no idea it was for Dokken – I was still in a suit and tie from work that day!” Jon Levin has been shredding with Dokken since ’97 – and has to tackle George Lynch’s scariest solos

Jon Levin performs live with Dokken.

Despite Jon Levin's 20-year presence in Dokken, it’s the ESP-wielding pyrotechnician George Lynch who most often comes to mind when people think of the band. The truth is that Lynch hasn’t been a full-time member of Dokken since ’97.

Although Lynch recently sparked rumors by appearing during the encores of Dokken shows, Jon Levin has been holding things down since 2003. And he’s been so explosive that, if not for those encores, some might not remember Lynch at all.
