Freddy Metal: Krueger vs. Dokken



I was born in 1990, so glam/hair metal bands were all but dead by the time I started to listen to music on my own. After watching this video, I'm a little sad that I missed out.


The video Dream Warriors by Dokken is a rework of the opening scene from the movie.

This time around, Kristen is making a Dokken house.

She falls asleep in wakes up in dream world right when lead guitarist George Lynch starts riffing away.

Like in the movie, Kristen walks into the house after the little girl. 
She goes downstairs and watches the drummer play in the furnace, who isn't bothered by the surrounding flames and Kristen doesn't show any concern either.


World's tinniest drummer is a good attention grabbing gimmick to separate yourselves from similar bands. I mean, Kid Rock did have a rapping midget when he first got famous.


Instead of running into Freddy in the hallway, Kristen bumps into the lead singer and another Dokken dude.
In place of the Freddy snake that tries to eat her, George Lynch bursts through the wall and lays a solo on Kristen.
She looks awestruck, as if Jesus Christ returned, picked up an electric guitar and started wailing away.


Buzzkill Freddy snatches Lynch and Kristen follows after them.

Kristen catches up to Freddy, but Dokken pops up too, starting with midget drummer.


Freddy is no match for the rocking power of Dokken, and in ironic fashion, wakes up; the video being his nightmare, not Kristen's.


Join me next time as I watch Kristen 2.0 take on Freddy in Nightmare 4: The Dream Master.
