Ted will say what the f%ck he wants and play guitar the way he wants.That is what makes him a legend,unlike the garbage being processed today in music.
I remember in 91 i was playing this in our set at 19. Played clubs, you know, got the X put on my hand , had to get our shit and go the second we were done. Two years later when i was old enough to hang out ? No one cared about this type of music. I was born about 10 years too late. Fuck Nirvana.
i was 10 in 1990. i bought this the same day i bought Aerosmith's Pump album. first two ROCK records i ever owned. from there it snowballed from Guns n Roses ---> to Nirvana-- and eventually to METALLICA.
Bands like this are rock and roll. Not a bunch of punks that sound like every other band that is popular now. The great thing about them is personality and originality!
To the idiot "kids" who think you have to look like or sound like or become something different just to fit in, will realize someday that we ALL die. If you don't live your life just as exactly like you want to, you're a fool. Moral to this story? Dress how YOU want. Grow your hair long or be bald. Play the music YOU love. Screw all you cowards and morons who are too stupid and afraid to do that. Someday YOU too will be just as dead as the rest of us who WILL do & play what we want.
the night the windows got blown out of NBC--no way I can imagine being in that audience -- "a new band"--- lead singers from 3 great bands in one band--thanks for posting--what a moment in time
I'll always remember seeing some mullet haired dude rocking a damn yankees 'yank this' shirt at my local mall sometime in the early-mid 90s. The dude was a timeless cliche and the mental picture still cracks me up.
Cool they had the guitar backdrop there, with BC RICH BICH in the window too. What do you get when you combine Will Lee, Anton Figg, Paul S, and the World's Most Dangerous Band along with the Damn Yankees?!?! Well, naturally, one heckuva live show! I missed this, but had I known, I would have certainly archived it
@MetallicBill You're right. I think you misunderstood what I was gettin at. I thought their best songs were HIS. He didn't seem to fit in with their softer stuff.
@atomicpunk48 To me, The Nuge is legend, he confused me when he wasn't singing on a song, because sometimes I didn't know it was even him, so don't let his demeanor fool you. On his older DVD, he included a B-day party jam just playing Blues ...his style, but still, not his style
@MetallicBill I've seen him live many times. The guy puts on a killer show. I always wondered what happened with him and Derek St. Holmes. Thought they were great together.
@atomicpunk48 Derek played with Michael Schenker in his 1984 Live at Hammersmith show, David Mallet directed it. That's worth looking at, and then he also played with Brad Whitford of Aerosmith
@MetallicBill I remember the Whitford St. Holmes album and I was a huge Schenker fan back in the UFO days. Oh man can that guy play. Is he still around these days?
@atomicpunk48 Yep, SChenker has his own website, since his ex-Wife tried making money off him, against his wishes, that was pretty low down. A couple years back, he had his Ex Sabbath Ozzy moment, reported in Guitar World magazine
These guys are my favorite band! It would have been awesome to have been alive when they were still together~ but that's okay, cuz Styx and Night Ranger are epic anyway~
@sasoritol I was alive, was not that long ago, I remember 1990, and Knebworth broadcast on radio live at that time, and in 1994, the first Woodstock I could take part in (on PPV)! haha
@Masterofpizza12345 Shut the fuck up and deliver the pizza, you zit faced little fucktard. If this country sucks it's because of clowns like nugent and his adoring pack of fagtards like you. What, there must be at least 10 of you queers who think that shitstained draft dodging douchenozzle actually has musical talent. YEAH! HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAH AHAHH!!! HAHAHAH! I WIN! I ALWAYS WIN!!!
I agree, Nugent is a draft dodging faggot! Pay no attention to this sorry pile of shit (Masterofpizza12345) who's trying to start an argument w you. He's a lonley 50 something yr old queer who's got nothing better to do with his time than start shit on YT w his endless number of accounts. This guy has no girl & no life! If you saw what this tub of shit actually looked like you'd DIE LAUGHING!! Haha
God damn is Ted a goofy sob. I just love him. He just dosn't give a fuck and thats rock n roll. I saw ted open for Kid Rock and Metallica in 2000. He blew both bands away.
Talking of anton does anyone remember that he was on a kiss record he filled in for peter criss plus he was an origional member of frehleys comet ace frehley of kiss band

being on letterman sucks because that idiot paul scheffer and his band has to join in every time and ruin it. Ted is ridiculous acting like he's tweaking big time. I wish he'd take those arrows he has on his back and take out scheffer and his weannies.
The reason why there are so many musicians in this is because when you appear on Letterman's show, artists are made to sign a contract that allows their musicians to play along with the artist if they so choose. It doesn't always happen, but in this case, it did, and it ruined it beacause the band on its own stands up just fine. In fact, I am surprised Ted agreed to sign the contract.
@romeokid69 ... and I'm sure Damn Yankees signed the contract BECAUSE Paul, Sid, Will, and Anton were, and still are, one of the best sounding live bands ever!
At :13 secs 'DAVE: Ted, are you still the motorcity madman? TED: Full time Dave, full time!!' Ha! Ha! Ha! Rock N Roll/Hard Rock's not only the best music but also the funniest!!
@PizmoBeach1 I think the only answer to that would be "why not?" Is there a rule in the society of bands that says you can't have more then one bass, one lead, and one rhythm?
blacknightaudio, last time i checked, it was still a free country, thus the reason i posted comments and listened to the song. also have the right to express my opinions. lastly, just because of platinum record sales to idoits such as your self does not constitute a good group. lots of groups sell albums of music that is of low quality, in my opinion. individually these guys were phenomenal, but as a group, they never pulled together quality songs that are enjoyable to me.
Only because Paul Shaffer and his band aren't good enough to be on the same stage as Damn Yankees. It's absolutely depressing and immoral but politics will set in and take over.
@NorthwestWrestle Sucks? Why waste your time listening and commenting, if you don't even like the group/ song? So a double platinum first album, with chart topping songs, (for example: this song hit #2 on the rock charts), a platinum second album, also with songs hitting high on the charts, getting ready to release and tour on a third, and they never pulled it together? Did daddy not pay enough attention to you? Damn, what are you 12? Talk about inane comments...
Different styles. Ain't it great? Nugent, Shaw, Paige, Beck, Clapton, Van Halen, Montrose, Hendrix, Knoffler, Gilmore, Help me here now, Rossington, Collins, Allman, Betts, Hell, Robbie Robertson, and on , and on, and on.........Yeah.
@hojorocks3 - Intellect I agree on, but Nuges style, while irratic IMO, differs with TS's...Same as SRV and Page...neither are superior over another...their styles just differ
@GreenManalichi I figured if you commented on this you were probably a nuge fanatic. I find most nuge fanatics adopt his personality traits. I was just seeing what kind of shitstorm I could bring down on myself by saying that. Honestly I think he's a great guitarist, but I'm a much bigger Styx fan. Also I think that as good as ted is, many of his songs are terrible. They'd be better without lyrics.
Oh no...dont get me wrong..I was NEVER a Nuge "fan"...I agree with you..I couldnt stand listening to more than 5 minutes of his music...Im more a Gilmore or Rossington fan...Styx were a great band, and the Damn Yankees were a good band. Im not taking anything away from Tommy. I just dont compare these 2 since they were very different in styles.
I can listen to him play, but for me...he's all over the place. I enjoy listening to guitarists who are more melodic. Listen to Nuge and than Pink Floyd...Gilmore makes his guitar speak a language...Nuge just makes his scream like an angry wife LOL
You can't really compare SRV and Page. It's no contest, while Jimmie Page may have written some of the most classic licks of all time, Live he was the sloppiest player ever. SRV was a guitar god, the man was absolutely incredible.
A thing of beauty...TIGHT performance of one of my fave DY songs...totally ROCKED Letterman's world - which his musical guests rarely do
Ted's really in his element here (but then when ISN'T he? LOL); the quiver of arrows is an esp. nice touch. Looks like he also convinced Tommy to go with the shorts look -- something u rarely see rockers wearing (other than Angus Young's signature Aussie schoolboy outfit, lol)
Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw in the same band. I guess I had to see it to believe it. And why is Ted playing a tiny PRS? He should be playing a big-ass Gibson Byrdland. Something is really not right here.
Tommy Shaw when singing solo has a pretty good voice....When he sings harmony he always nails his notes, and is one of the best harmonizers....I think he has always been as a Guitarist/Vocalist
Back then all performing artists had to contractually agree to play with the house band. I think it was to avoid bands from either going too long or thinking they could do or play anything they wanted. I think it was a CBS thing.
Saw them live back in the 90's, with Bad Company. We had front row center stage seats...Ted licked his lips at me & threw me some guitar picks, Goooood Times! (:D)
Damn Yankees and Bad Co. together. Man, that is a show I would love to have seen. Ted is the man and Paul Rodgers has the best voice in rock-n-roll ever.
@Slimster22 I saw that show in Kingston and Paul Rogers was not with Bad Company at that time. It was an epic show none the less and both bands were absolutely phenomenal live.

Tommy Shaw 5' 5½"
Jack Blades ??? Couldn't find his height, but it explains why Ted looks like a giant.

Why the hell do they need FOUR guitar players? (Yes, I realize Blades is playing the bass) I'm jus sayin.....

@PizmoBeach1 I think the only answer to that would be "why not?" Is there a rule in the society of bands that says you can't have more then one bass, one lead, and one rhythm?

blacknightaudio, last time i checked, it was still a free country, thus the reason i posted comments and listened to the song. also have the right to express my opinions. lastly, just because of platinum record sales to idoits such as your self does not constitute a good group. lots of groups sell albums of music that is of low quality, in my opinion. individually these guys were phenomenal, but as a group, they never pulled together quality songs that are enjoyable to me.

Only because Paul Shaffer and his band aren't good enough to be on the same stage as Damn Yankees. It's absolutely depressing and immoral but politics will set in and take over.

@NorthwestWrestle Sucks? Why waste your time listening and commenting, if you don't even like the group/ song? So a double platinum first album, with chart topping songs, (for example: this song hit #2 on the rock charts), a platinum second album, also with songs hitting high on the charts, getting ready to release and tour on a third, and they never pulled it together? Did daddy not pay enough attention to you? Damn, what are you 12? Talk about inane comments...

hojorocks3 1 year ago
@hojorocks3 - Intellect I agree on, but Nuges style, while irratic IMO, differs with TS's...Same as SRV and Page...neither are superior over another...their styles just differ
GreenManalichi 1 year ago
@GreenManalichi I figured if you commented on this you were probably a nuge fanatic. I find most nuge fanatics adopt his personality traits. I was just seeing what kind of shitstorm I could bring down on myself by saying that. Honestly I think he's a great guitarist, but I'm a much bigger Styx fan. Also I think that as good as ted is, many of his songs are terrible. They'd be better without lyrics.
hojorocks3 1 year ago
Oh no...dont get me wrong..I was NEVER a Nuge "fan"...I agree with you..I couldnt stand listening to more than 5 minutes of his music...Im more a Gilmore or Rossington fan...Styx were a great band, and the Damn Yankees were a good band. Im not taking anything away from Tommy. I just dont compare these 2 since they were very different in styles.

I can listen to him play, but for me...he's all over the place. I enjoy listening to guitarists who are more melodic. Listen to Nuge and than Pink Floyd...Gilmore makes his guitar speak a language...Nuge just makes his scream like an angry wife LOL
GreenManalichi 1 year ago
You can't really compare SRV and Page. It's no contest, while Jimmie Page may have written some of the most classic licks of all time, Live he was the sloppiest player ever. SRV was a guitar god, the man was absolutely incredible.

A thing of beauty...TIGHT performance of one of my fave DY songs...totally ROCKED Letterman's world - which his musical guests rarely do
Ted's really in his element here (but then when ISN'T he? LOL); the quiver of arrows is an esp. nice touch. Looks like he also convinced Tommy to go with the shorts look -- something u rarely see rockers wearing (other than Angus Young's signature Aussie schoolboy outfit, lol)

Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw in the same band. I guess I had to see it to believe it. And why is Ted playing a tiny PRS? He should be playing a big-ass Gibson Byrdland. Something is really not right here.

Back then all performing artists had to contractually agree to play with the house band. I think it was to avoid bands from either going too long or thinking they could do or play anything they wanted. I think it was a CBS thing.
