Saw them live yesterday and man, this gig was 1 of the best I've ever seen. What a performance, the guys were superenthusiastic, they played 2.5 hours !, the audience went bezerk. Forever was their last song and you can imagine really everybody went crazy. On my work now and again listening this song, can't get enough of it.
1982 south of Fresno, CA looking at steros to buy, the saleman demo's a high dollar model with the new hit! I fell in love that second and have been a true fan since. About a month later Y&T played in a small hall in Visalia, CA - what a party! I saw them again in San Diego on their "Farewell Tour" after 17 years. You know Dave and his band are still rockin and we are lovin it - awesome - I can neve get enough of Y & T!
My friend turned me on to these guys back in the 80's . Didn't know what I was missing !! I actually dedicated this song to my wife at our wedding! The words say it all, and they had some of the best ballads you ever heard.
I'm confused how some of you people think this is a ballad, wtf are you listening to? This is a totally fast rocking tune. I can't wait to hear it August 26th when my band opens for them in Sacramento!!!
@Singerboy FCK YEAH!! I could not said it any better!!, todays music is a piece of crapp. (C RAP)get it ?? :)..I am glad my dad has a vast collection of 80s music and basically old skewl rock.. I love it I am a singer myself.. i look up to dave, bruce dickinson long live rock.. \\m//
I've seen the two concerts in the Netherlands ( De Pul And The Patronaat) I have to see that he is good! I like him verry much! becouse of thew way that he take a care about me (L) Thnx for the great concerts!!
Wow....can't believe I even remember this band....but soooo much fun live and they have good music....remember a show with the drummer J.Degrasso - Awesome show! Dave M. is gold with me, thanks for the pussy!
@TheDerek619 Scorpions in 72 Yand t Ithink 77 They played at my highschool. Winds of change scorps and y and t was in the 80's to. Still different there is another winds of change but Y and T by far the best hands down. Dont get me wrong because I love the early scorps. Some of my favorite. Rescue me, forever, I believe in you, and winds of change. Egyptian sands rocks too. Yand T played the back up band in San Fran for over thirty years now and I still love em
What a classic. When metal broke big in Britain in the early 80's the band played lots of shows on this side of the pond and were always well liked. I can only guess grassroots popularity never translated into record sales. I will have this song played at my funeral. Awesome.
What a great band, iv'e seen them live about 10 times one of my favorites, they should have been huge. they are a lot better than some of the bands they opened for.
reminds me of when life was worth living and music was music,not like the sh** they listen too today,as my daughter and son say,music is like candy its only good when you get rid of the rapper!!
EPIC!! takes me back when i was a kid and i would just rock the fuck out with my tennis racket \m/ i play "real" guitar now and love to rock out out to this album.so underated this band shudda been HUGE x
Hi kids, just saw these guys at the Avalon, in Sunnyvale, CA and they still rock as hard as they do when I saw them in Winterland SF in 1975. 36 years ago? Is my math right ? It can't be? But you know what?...come back in 36 years and see who is still rockin.It ain't gonna be Poison, and Shiterela that's for sure. If you think it's gonna be Kiss or some other Clown band,stick with the comic books and work on your Slipknot? WTF is that anyway? Meneketti and Y&T are the real deal FOREVER!
@billyjackskin The first live show I ever saw was Y&T with Black N' Blue as their opener. The most recent show I've seen was Y&T at Music in the Park in San Jose. They were just as good as I remembered the first time I saw them.
I started learning to play guitar in 1981 and this song brings back the awe I felt at trying to emulate the sounds of the great 80s metal bands.Grunge,and Nu-Metal almost killed my love of Metal.Thank God they have died in the arse.
Such a great a band that had way more talent than the shit bands that got big: Cinderella, Poison, Tesla, and especially Bon Jovi. Compare Dave's voice to Vince Neil's and Motley Crue becomes an absolute joke, which they are. Those bands apparently had better management because none of them can even come close to Y&T in any respect.
No video needed. The song reveals to all who listen. The guitar work alone is beyond words. Menecetti is in a class by himself. The band Y&T was the metal equivalent of the Beatles.
I learned how to play bass in Phil's basement on his '68 P-Bass. His son and I had a punk band that never went anywhere, but hey, it's a cool true story!
first saw them support AC/DC at Glasgow apollo on " for those about to rock" tour....Brilliant! Many times after, latest was blowing Whitesnake off a few years ago!!
man I remember smoking weed with my brother in his green grand torino out in our driveway when this song came out. we were smoking tai weed and when the lead solo came on it took me into a day dream unlike any other . listen to it its fucken great!!!!!
@sprayboy666 I was into these guys when i was 19, im 51 now my friend and still get a hard on when i hear Black Tiger, still shed a tear when i hear winds of Change. What a band
@Soulfulshreddify ... probably because other less talented acts, have cut their teeth on Y&T, and have released the material after. Just because you just now heard it, does not mean it was unoriginal, it just means that you have heard the imitators, before you heard the originals. Rob Halford is quoted as saying this is the best heavy metal song ever written.
Y&T black tiger track list from the moon open fire dont wanna lose hell or high water FOREVER black tiger barroom boogie my way or the highway winds of change
...And it's not metal. Its arena rock. The best arena rock song of all time.
