Dokken and Bulletboys

Bulletboys, hailing from Los Angeles, blended glam metal and hard rock, founding in 1987 with Marq Torien. Known for hits like "Smooth Up in Ya," they achieved success with their gold-selling debut. Influences like Van Halen shaped their style. Despite a disband in 1998, they found late-career success with "Elefante" and "From Out of the Skies" led by Torien. Collaborations include ex-King Cobra, Ratt members, and Sebastian Bach. A notable box set of their Warner Bros. era was released in 2021.

Dokken, born in the late ‘70s Los Angeles pop metal scene, is known for Don Dokken’s melodic vocals and George Lynch’s guitar skills. Hits include "Dream Warriors" and "In My Dreams." Their 1987 album "Back for the Attack" went platinum. Despite internal conflicts, they reunited, evolving musically, and released their 13th album in 2023. They've collaborated with artists like Jeff Pilson and toured with the Scorpions.
