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.
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.
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!!!!!
@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.........
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
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!!!
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 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.
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.
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!
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
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).
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
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!!
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.
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.
