Dokken might have been influenced, but I can tell you if Dokken sounded like Scorpions, I'd be way more into Dokken. I'm not. I just thought the concert was awesome. But I live with Dokken fans, and I don't remember ever thinking of Scorpions when I listen to them. Dokken are way more stadium based while Scorpions carefully balances their energy with serenity depending on the flow of the song. Still Locing You is a ine example, starting soft and slow until it gets more upbeat and metallic. Plus, although they aren't diverse, Klaus Meine brings a lot of personality to the songs. THey're all great lyricists, btw.
