Dave Meniketti, just like Rik Emmett and Randy Jackson (Zebra's Randy not the American Idol Clownboy). Great guitarists blessed with awesome voices as well. Its rare, but when it happens it sounds so good.
Freakin Awesome!!! Just saw Y&T 2 days ago on Saturday and it was one of the best performances I've ever seen! Not that many bands sound this good live! HAPPY FUCKIN BIRTHDAY DAVID MENIKETTI!!! 12/12/2011 . . . . . R.I.P. DIO & Phil Kennemore
Incredible!! Kudos to ANYONE who can pull this song off lyrically.... the key of A is tough to sing .. Y&T dropped it down to Ab to suit Daves' voice.... fucking killer!!!
Great cover its great to see Y&T honoring such a great and influential man horns up to not only Y&T but also to Ronnie and Phil Kennemore may they rest in peace and keep on rocking hard up in heaven with the other fallen musicians we have lost in this great genre of music \m/
@azimuth361 Yeah pretty lame I know dave or the other guitar player could have shredded it ! Maybe its a copyright thing and campell soup wont allow them to play his solo ?
@atomicplayboy4u Maybe you're right. It could be a time-constraint thing, too. Sometimes they have to shorten the songs to fit them into a short set. You could be right about Campbell, too. He's been a douche since his Riverdogs days.
Listen to daves vocals, awesome awesome after all these years. This band is so UNDERRATED I saw them 3 x this year in chicago area, been a fan since 81. LONG LIVE RONNIE
Excellent version and without the keyboards which are prominent in this track. Well done Y&T for paying a tribute to a fallen God father of metal...RIR (REST IN ROCK) DIO \m/
His voice STILL sounds good!!

Great version but woulda liked to hear Dave rip a solo on it. Im surprised he did't. He's just as awesome a guitarist as he is a singer.
