  • dave u r awesome

  • really nice melodic song again from dave!!!!

  • It's a shame we lost Gary moore but I'm glad that we still have Y&T. I've converted my spin class to Y&T and Gary Moore. A big surprise because most of them listen to Rap. Go figure.

  • I'm a big fan of Gary Moore but this beats him hands down.

  • @gondengem I remember reading many years ago an interview with Gar Moore and he cited Dave as a guitarist he admired...

  • Think he is better alone, as a bluesman

  • What an awesome singer and guitarist!!!!!

  • i am just now a y and t fan. my loss. i saw twisted sitser y&tdokken.the 80s were the best. dave menikitti is bad ass.....

  • @TheDannyhyde i seen that show also what city r u in?

  • i this is a great song and the guitar is prefect!!!!!!!!!! i love dave meniketti hes very underrated RIP PHIL you wont b forgotten

  • He sounds like the singer from Magnum.He also sounds like Lou Gramm.

  • He sounds like the singer from Magnum.

  • the worlds most under-rated musician Y & T are fuckin awesome and i just love Daves music \m/

  • What's funny is that Metallica opened for Y&T when they were getting started.

  • Love it!

  • Better than Poison? Are you serious? One of the real Hard Rock voices, With the black Tiger!

  • he's joined the ranks of the "legends" now. that killer, amazing Voice of his. christ. it's like 25 years later, "since the day" and.........he hasn't lost anything. he sounds EXACTLY the same, as if it's STILL '86. unreal. yup. that's how you think of him now. Stood the test of time,  and is a Rock Hero. one of the classic's.

  • This is fantastic! What a voice and awesome guitar player!

  • what a song im am a massive fan youve got me hoocked

  • WAY better than a hundred bands,"I could think of??????, maybe more....Growing up in SanJose I got to see Y&T 10times at least .It was awesome.They sound as good now as they did 30 years ago .Rock FING ON FOREVER!!!!!

  • Dave is awesome. Better singer and guitar player than most. This song is fantastic.

  • As far as a singer and slinger combo, he is second to none.

  • Who can sing and play like Dave? Paul Stanley? Hell no! James Hetfield? Maybe. Gary Moore? soso...Dave is the best!

  • @batterseapark78 he has the best voice that was ever made rock!!!!

  • Richie Kotzen!

  • @batterseapark78 Hetfield? "Phlegm-Field" has no business even in the same sentence as Dave meniketti. get fuckin' serious. not even close. Metallica= Tired, Old News. Heard Y&T lately? or Meniketti's Singing? better than ever.........

  • @batterseapark78 rik emmett

  • Dave is god. Fact

  • Great song!!!

  • i have never heard this song before its really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he could replace joe perry of aerosmith when steven tyler gets his own band

  • i never heard this song before this is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think he would make a good replacement of joe perry in aerosmith if steven tyler starts his own band

  • The sound reminds me a lot of of ToTo.

  • @ronnycould That´s exactly what I thought. A bit more rock, but Toto.

  • great song!!!!!!!!!!! i love dave meniketti

  • I loved Y&T. Never knew of Meniketti's solo efforts. I've missed out. Have to check out whether he comes out to Boston area.

  • What great song.....

  • 7 shooting stars..fly stars fly

  • I love this song!

  • Cut my teeth on these guys....and turned all my friends on to them back in the day....they were and still are one of thebest if not THEE best.

  • Very Nice!!! He's really one of the best guitarists i've ever heard!!! Passionate and creative

  • cool song!!

  • magica  musical

  • daves a genius no doubt!! love his stuff and better still the Y&T stuff!!! class

  • Dave your guitar God!!! you rock.. and are just my all time favorite no matter what... never get enough of you and your band!

  • Awesome song By one of the great voices of Metal!!

  • CLSSICO  DO ROCK

  • I just watched him in vegas never will i be the same what a dream what a rocker and what a show D M forever.

  • Dave's the reason I play guitar. If you hav'nt seen him in concert, you need to.

  • This man is a genius.. and pulls off every note of every vocal and guitar part he's ever written to this day. One of the best songwriters out there and criminally underrated.

  • Fuck yeah! He is truly the most underrated guitarist of the past three decades, as is Y & T. It was an honor to watch him live, just a week ago, and to meet him and shake his hand. What a fucking monster!!!

  • Fuck Yeah Bro!!! You should feel blessed i live in Detroit and seen him once in 20years.Thats a dieing breed.He is something special.

  • one of the great voices of rock that never, ever gets his due. DM is the man.

  • this song is amazing.. the lyrics too.. with sense.. not like the todays music..

  • I agree! Dave is a real talent! I love everything he did... so soulfull music! Guitar & volcas together.. perfect combo!

  • Kind of Sammy Hagarish! Y&T rocks!

  • As cool and successful as Sammy Hagar is, DM is and always will be in his rear view mirror.

    As far as pure talent as a singer/slinger combo, DM is superior

  • awesome CD !!

    Dave is one of the best guitarists i have ever seen perform live.

  • Interesting comments. This songs was released on his solo album entitled "Meniketti". Which was released in 2002. The song is not about a girlfriend or lover. Dave has been married for many years. This song is in dedication to his mother who lost her fight with cancer many years ago. As stated before, Dave was never offered to join Van Halen and that's from his mouth not mine.

  • dave wrote this song for a girl he must truly love in his life. a real love he must have found. great for you dave. so way cool.

  • great! he really stuck to his original style.when dose it come out on fm radio?

  • excellent - one of the greats!

  • Dave is awesome on guitar!

  • and vocal

  • Great!

  • Y&T way better than poison

  • !!! agree 100% !!!!

  • @zeppy770 who isnt?

  • @zeppy770 Totally! Not even a comparison

  • @zeppy770 Y&T's version of "Your Mama don't dance" is also WAY better than Poisions verion.

  • @zeppy770 Vs poison? I hope that was a joke

  • Dave is just a fantastic guitarist/singer/songwriter. I was such a HUGE Y&T fan back in the 80s, and have recently again become a HUGE FAN of Dave and Y&T.

  • :) ME TOO!!!!! What a voice and what great guitarsound!

  • Thank you so much for sharing. HUGE TUNE!!!!!!!!

  • awesome - love dave....remeber seeing y+t on meanstreak tour - fantastic show - mental/packed out crowd in rock city nottingham....happy days...good to see he can still crank it

  • A little back ground on Mr, Meniketti..Dave was going to take over the lead singing in Van Halen, when Roth left Van Halen. Dave and Eddy were best of friends, up until they had a big falling out. No one knows why or what the fight was about?

  • Actually thats not true. If you ask Dave himself he will tell you that this never happened. BUT, he was offered to join Ozzys band after Randy passed away. And without a regret, he declined.

  • You're correct-here we have the most underrated guitarist/vocalist in rock history who was offered the Ozzy job, the Whitesnake gig AND the opportunity to replace DLR in Van Halen. He declined them all because he's his own man. This guy is a fuggin monster.

  • Interrested fact.

    I always thought that Sammy Hagar and Dave Meniketti had similar vocals.....

  • it's true :)

  • Well, whatever the fight was about, we should know two things: Eddie is a not only a world class guitarist, but a world class asshole...

    Dave is a world class guitarist and a world class nice guy.

  • Why do you say that?

  • Yeah, thanks AXE for sharing this! I love this song.

  • Love this tune,thnx for sharing!

    5+*****!

  • wow dave is great!!! both him and neal. love this guys!!!

  • What a monster. A CRIMINALLY underrated guitarist-the most underrated of the past thirty years.

  • Yes! the best guitarrist-vocals !!! Forever!! Meniketti

  • He is the Man!!

  • i remember and will never forget..remember u

  • 1 of the finest lead shredder/vocalists in the Biz. Amazing gifted talent! BIg Man Dave is da' man!

  • he is great! I saw them live in 2007 and awesome band!!!

  • Y&T is a big part of the very best.

  • can u find tabs for this song ??

  • 30 plus years of kickin ass an takin names A fan forever !!

  • He is a great singer and guitar player!!!!

  • never ever lost the touch!! many thanx from northern ireland dave ur the man.

  • This song is so good.

  • I used to go and see Yesterday & Today at the Starwood in the 70's! They were so damn good. Leonard Haze was one of the best drummers I've ever heard. And Dave, well this video speaks for itself!

  • Dave is so fuckin good!!!!!!This is one of the best tunes of all time!!!

  • I dont know him, but he sounds really good.

  • meniketti is my favourite a great voice yes one of the best.saw them live in norway 2007.one of my best concert ever.its someone who ave some footage from the 70s from this amazing y&T

  • The voice is only a plus; he is one of the best guitar players out there!

  • Saw Dave and Y&T in Bristol last year. Boy do they still have it!! Classic rock at its best........"Forever".

  • Amazing guitar player, he has a brilliant feel to his playing,like Neil Schon.

  • Schon is a great player indeed, but Meniketti has a much more ballsy and melodic style that I prefer. Plus, unlike Neal Schon, he sings DAMN well!

  • Yeah Victor,Dave and Neil are two of the best guitar players around today.

  • You are correct-that is the problem-Neal just needs to swing his balls more because he is PHENOMINALLY gifted. Schon and Meniketti are two of my favorite guitarists(after Page, of course).

  • Like fine wine! Better with age!! Rock on Dave!!

  • I can listen to this for hours, never gets old. Dave Meniketti is the best. Keep on rockin'.

  • yeah this is THE song for my funeral :D

  • Omfg this freakin' song rocks like hell, never gets old.

  • this is one of the best american rock and roll songs of all time. as rock fans we should all want this played at our funeral as our family weeps..listen to this and thanks dave

  • Are the solo albums same kind of material than there are? Very kood guitarist, little bit like Gary Moore.

  • If this is the style he has on the solo albums, I'm buying them right now!!!

  • woaaa talk about high powered energy my god that kicked ass thanks dave

  • Is there a new CD from him?

  • I remember that I always loved Y&T and Dave's playing.

    This song is great and Dave keeps on running...

  • Yes....one of my favoriteplayer's alltime.

    Great..

  • I just stumbled on to this I forgot how good dave meniketti was. absolute star

  • Dave is Awsome... up there with the best!

  • I grew up in the bay area in high school we covered Yesterday and today ..25 hours a day beautiful dreamer

  • Dave is so underrated.........thanx for posting this!

  • My Hero...What a great song,huh?

  • The guy still rocks

  • if that don't put goosebumps on your arms...nothing will..

    excellent!

  • No habia oido nada de meniketti en solitario, pero esto es un temazo, ahora mismo me bajo algo de este tio. Gran compositor y gran guitarrista.

  • LOAN A ME DIME

  • ladelle123,

    I have the entire Y&T UnEarthed Vol 1 & 2 downloaded on limewire dot com Register,it's all free.

  • Just sit back and close your eyes and let the music take its toll. I can feel and taste hard rockin' blues on Daves guitar solo in perspective.

  • can you spell underrated motherfuckers

    !?

  • SENCILLAMENTE EL MEJOR.

  • dude Y&T was one of the premiere muscian's musicians bands.. I totally remeber seeing them and the vibe was full of guitar geeks!!! ELITISTS... lol rock on!!

  • I love that guitar. DAVE YOUR THE BEST

  • Oh Dave - Dave you are still a rock angel !

  • I want to hear and/or see their song "Wild if I wanna"!

    Does anybody out there have it?

  • DAVE RULES!!!  y&t was awesome!!!

  • Yeah..Both of Dave's albums(On The Blue Side and Meniketti) were just as great as the other. "I Remember","Storm","Lay Me Down" and "Messin' With Mr. Big" were my favorites on this album.

  • What about Baby Blues, Tough Luck Avenue and Tell Me (Why I should wait)??

  • On The Blue Side was an awesome album.. This seems equally as good!!

    Meniketti rules!

  • What bad can you say ?? It kicks ass

  • this man knows how to make !real! good music

  • Dave never surrenders! He knows that his fans appreciate what he does wether or not the "eat their own" music industry supports him. The min reason Y&T didn't hit the top was lack of label support. Just look at the gaggle of supporters that followed them across the country and sold out the live venues. Check www.meniketti.com for up to date info.

  • Very cool tune. I didn't even know he ever did anything after Y&T.
