George Lynch's solo is so powerful and melodic it hurts.

[Trinityme]

The eighties metal experience was indescribably magical. It’s a shame that so many generations can’t relate to it. No other Genre quite captured the melodic power and musical bliss the way that it did. Dokken was a huge part of this.

[kirkplissken]

One of the greatest breakup songs of all time. The writing, Don's passionate vocals and George's beautiful, lyrical guitar solo...in 1989 and even now, this song hits perfectly...

Dokken was the perfect 80s band a singer a good bass player a solid drummer and a guitar god what more do you want

[johnnymoraes]

One of the most beatiful ballads ever recorded. So emotional and full. And the guitar solo is just KILLER. So expressive. George Lynch at his best.

This song is from 1989, and to me, it symbolizes the end of an awesome decade and also, the goodbye for Dokken, since they would reform only in 1995.

What amazing times, the 80's.

George's solo here shows why he's one of the ultimate guitar heroes, and the greatest post-Eddie Van Halen and Malmsteen.

Incredible guitar playing, grab, note choice, expression, individuality, technique, harmonics and that KILLER guitar tone, just KILLER.

[johnm.]

2:31 - Truly one of George's best guitar solos ever. So much passion and amazing singing note choices!

[ericedmunds]

Too bad his voice is gone now. I empathize with singers with really powerful voices. Years of touring age and in don dokkens case cancer.

[LizaJane]

This song is still relevant today. I will forever love Dokken 🤘🏻❤️😊🎸

[brianbeavers]

Jeff Pillson, one of the best bass players and back up vocals ever!

[acuramandan]

That guitar solo gives me shivers with the Pacific Ocean backdrop. The Beast from the East made it out West! That Moonfire Ranch above Malibu sure has one hell of a view up there. Great Music Video shoot locaton! Now if we could all just get back to the 80s!

[garyleewhite]

Don Dokken has perhaps one of the best ever voices in rock n roll; clear, crisp, powerful.

[brendoncarmo]

This is one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard in my life!

[robertomingo]

what a solo, pure emotion right there

[coolman]

This is one of those hidden gems that only the people with good taste know about lol, Goddamn, can feel that guitar solo in my soul.

[kudapat]

After almost 30 years, still gives me goosebumps!

[FrogFishLeezerd]

Beast from the East brings me flashbacks of my good 'ol High School days. Dokken is simply one of the greatest bands of all time!

Don Dokken one of the best lyrics writer from his generation, not well recognized the way he deserved. This song proves his talent.
Lines like
"Your love I borrowed just like time"
"Just walk away, there will be no more tomorrows"
"From far away I tried to say "I´m sorry", but I can´t find a way..."
"I didn´t mean to breay your heart, I wish it had been mine"
"Was it love we had, or love gone bad? Still the love we need"

This is pure poetry.

[kristinegockley]

Don dokkens voice is so amazing. The guitar work is excellent.

[ryanmccarthy]

That guitar solo between 2:30 and 3:00 is enough to melt speakers and set them ablaze. 💯 🔥🎶 🔥

[danysharma]

Solo of this song takes me to another universe.
