Wrong Reason

Mick Brown, Dokken's drummer, said the original lineup (Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown) reuniting to play some shows in Japan is being done for the wrong reason: money. He's blatantly honest. After I read the article and you can do so here, I noticed in the comments this:

People want old shit from old bands nowadays.
Alice Cooper, Kiss, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Judas Priest, AC/DC., Twisted Twister's setlists etc. have the majority of old songs.

That is so true. Because I have zero desire to see Alice Cooper, I'll withhold my commentary about his setlist - he can play whatever the hell he wants to play - I couldn't care less.

Moving on, there are songs that bands must play.
  • KISS can't replace "Detroit Rock City" with a tune from "Monster"
  • Metallica can't replace "Master of Puppets" with "St. Anger"
  • Megadeth can't replace any tune from "Rust in Peace" with a tune from "Risk"
  • Slayer can't replace "War Ensemble" with a tune from "Diabolas in Musica"
  • Judas Priest can't replace "Living After Midnight" with a tune from "Turbo"
  • AC/DC can't replace "Back in Black" with a tune from "Fly on the Wall"
  • Twisted Sister can't replace any tune from "Stay Hungry" with a tune from "Love is for Suckers"
