Enuff Z'Nuff - Superstitious

[dakodarollins]

is your account name an Extreme reference?

[funkedupfairytale]

@dakodarollins very well spotted mate! :)

[dakodarollins]

@funkedupfairytale Kudos. Amazing band. Underrated highly. Was just listening to that album.

[prometalguitar]

I feel sorry about lead guitar player passing He is great from EnuffzNuff.

[w0bbl3r]

A bit cliched for their time, but one of the better cliched bands of the time, I must say.

They COULD write, they COULD play, and they were very good live.

Saw them support poison back when poison had kotzen on guitar, and I must say they almost upstaged the MOST cliched band of the whole glam/rock era, in just a dingy little club date in notts UK.

A shame that bands like these were lost in the horde of similar acts at the time, when the market was flooded with acts with big hair no talent

[vidstar7]

These guys had no idea what they HAD

Sucks

rip d

[saltykrug]

This guitarist being dead makes me a sad panda.

[priinzeciitakrtoon]

Derek <3

[csmpeoil]

Letterman was a genuine fan of Ez'N. I still have their Baby Loves You appearance from a couple of years earlier on VHS. Great times.

[deni7352]

enup jenup dibacanateh kitu ????

[vgman100]

It would be fantastic to see them on David Letterman NOW !!!!

[arrowwaterable]

i really miss derek.

[SuperGuitarNerd]

I don't think ANYONE knows their way around a Floyd Rose better than Derek did... Alive or dead. Amazing conviction on every note! This just gets better and better every time I watch it. What the hell has happened to rock music today? Where are all the MODERN bands with songwriting skills, virtuosity, and stylistic versatility? I don't doubt that they're probably out there, but they're sadly probably never gonna get signed in today's 1 dimensional cookie-cutter music industry. Sad, sad, sad...

[vetryder]

@SuperGuitarNerd oh yeah there is....check out Dream Theater, theyre top of the musical food chain. When it comes to talent and musical skills theyre THE musical Jedi Grandmasters. Nightwish and Within Temptation are 2 more bands with amazing songs and sound. You're welcome............

[SuperGuitarNerd]

@vetryder Whilst I'm personally not a huge fan of"Tolkien"metal,I must say I don't mind Pettruci's playing,he's great,but I saw them live once in Glasgow Scotland, & was actually kinda disappointed. The sound was terrible,& the fans were hostile(!) As for NW & BT, the production's a little too sterile & glossy for my tastes.I must say dude... You're kinda proving my point about the cookie-cutter music industry. It's kinda obvious NW & BT both came from the "Evanescence" cutter(!) Hot chicks tho!

[SuperGuitarNerd]

ROCK IN PEACE FRIGO !!!

[Traductus5972]

i really think these guys would've been bigger if they never had the glam look like they did in the late 80's

[csmpeoil]

@Traductus5972 yes and no. they stripped down the glammy look quite a bit on the second album Strength. Don't forget the glam look didn't hurt Poison, yet they had nothing on z'nuff when it came to songwriting. The quality of the songwriting on Strength was impossible to dismiss them as just a glam outfit. Unfortunately by the time that album had its run the seattle grunge scene had invaded.

[haywood16]

Most underated band EVER!

[xristy007]

Mr Frigo, you are the reason I started playin' guitar right around New Thing.... RIP my friend you were a guitar playin' genius

[micropaul]

another musician lost to drugs

[micropaul]

another guy lost to drugs no loss

[holgerssonnils]

Enuff Z'Nuff rocks. They are the REAL Beatles of the 90s. RIP Derek, RIP Ricky Parent.

[desertsunnm]

Nice guitar work by Derek Frigo. R.I.P.

[rokkettirolli]

Enough is so enough. I lost my way from Marc Bolan's site "Life Is Strange" to here and I now understand why I don't listen today's music. There's allways 13 or so in a dosen. The music business just does not support anything called personality, just easy selling good for nothing lookalikes of the past. I have heard this song so many times before, no surprices in there! SO SAD!

[trixter79]

frigo was a realy cool guitarist!

[judders75]

Great band saw them live last month,got to sing New Thing with donnie then paid him £20 for one beer.Great night

[majspejsiak]

a Unique Guitar, and a unique voice

[supergeek7]

Love that guitar sound, sorry he is gone, RIP!!! This music helps bring back some good memories...And no-one can take your memories!!! Thanks

[pjs100]

Donnie Vie is a musical genius.

[cake861]

chip brings the sex THANK YOU!!

[colonyvice]

R.I.P derek

[bambamh20]

ENUFF Z NUFF ! COOL JAMMMMMMMM !

[BIGROCKER620]

Never knew they were on Letterman...Regardless of what lineup it is,the song sounds like one of their best...

[arrowwaterable]

i really miss Derek. there are no replacements for him.

[bretnine]

wheres vikki foxx? that guy was the coolest drummer they ever had.

[tuntunwabo]

he quit the band at that time, to join vince neil,s band

[pjs100]

He when to play for Vince Neil.

[genderxl7]

come on people...some more credits to derek frigo,rip

[ferrari1586]

thank you he blows eddie away. im not gay but derek is the coolest guy to ever walk the planet!!!

[pskibobby]

eddie is def. better than derek....derek is amazing in his own right but eddie would wipe the floor with this guy

[Zagar0S0]

ferrari i agree

[ferrari7568]

I met derek back in 92,he was very cool. Such a waste. Its very sad!!

[GunWarTheWorldAtWar]

Yeah when they were good. But he did have the Dead on a while ago.

[kamobile]

They are one of the super talented bands that got lost in the late 80's mix. Two others are Faster Pussycat and Hanoi Roxx. People just lumped them in as another glam band and didn't realize how great they are as musicians.

[Traductus5972]

funny thing is i think they were only glam for one album as a joke or something like that

[Bohrain]

I keep wondering what the hell happened to music in general after 80's? Bands today are shit.

[feanor22]

after 90's man, there's a lot of good bands belonging to the 90's and 80's...

but yes, i agree, today's music sucks...

[Vergiliusz666]

There're no tabs for this song ;(

[drmilo08260]

That is how to use a whammy bar ! They  are one of the best bands. GREAT SONG

[Traductus5972]

ya know this band should've been bigger

[NationalMan]

Wow... they sound really good here. I like how Shafer and the other Late Night band members joined in, that was cool!

[sweetmelodies89]

I would do anything just to look like Derek Frigo looked like back in the day.. and to play like him would be a dream.. truely one of the coolest guitar heroes to ever walked the earth! this band should have been massive...

[IAMTHELAW2005]

I'm not doing to bad on playing like him, I'll never be as good but I can do SOME of his licks SOME WHAT.  Looks though......eh not so close

[ferrari1586]

keep trying hes the best

[foundoutthat]

back then when letterman had great bands coming as guests...

Enuff Z' Nuff

[IAMTHELAW2005]

Hell yeah man, he had Damn Yankees b4 they were anywhere else. He had that band that did Lump, he had RAT, he had WASP, WInger( they were okay).

He never had my fav band (Iron Maiden) but he didnt have Steve Harriss as a guest, thats prettycool

[xbpsoftballx]

Chip loves me.... for real, he does. he told him a million times hahah.... i've mixed for enuff z'nuff before hahah

[noexistence11]

Derek frigo rocks

[XOEmoQueenXO]

donnie has such a special voice.

[Zagar0S0]

alright i guess somebody with a clue can put this argue to rest... the Enuff Z'Nuff boys are playing and magnificently at that... the drummer is playing, obviously... and the dude in orange is playin rhythm

the guy in white is just standing there in his seinfeld shirt gayin everything up ;-)

[yngwieopus4]

They are called artificial harmonics not fake harmonics

[yngwieopus4]

Enuff z nuff is not faking its the letterman band.

[yngwieopus4]

If you were a musician you would see that the guitar player in white hardly changes positions, by that I mean hand. Hes holding an A chord the whole time. lmao!

[ferrari7568]

If you were a musician you could see that the Letterman bass player is NOT playing bass. He is the one faking a rythym guitar, you idiot!! Have you ever been asked to go on Letterman. Guess your not such a good musician!!

[yngwieopus4]

The drummer is playing but thats it.

[yngwieopus4]

Watch the band,, besides the drummer thay are all faking it,,trust me I AM a musician

[vidstar7]

How can u tell?

First off- they are playing with the house band/so you got multiple bass and guitar players etc. Thus watching one player wont tell ya much.

Second-

Many of their songs were written with both rhythm and lead guitar lines. I think Vik Fox (their drummer) would play the rhythm in the studio-or else Derek would. Again- given multiple players ya gotta know who to watch for what parts.

I say they are playin it

[vidstar7]

also-

Derek always loved to use a false harmonic by muting the note with the thumb of his pick-hand. Therefore you see a delay between him hitting the note and when you actually hear it. It has to do with how long it takes for the string vibration to reach the guitar pickups directly and through the guitar body.

Maybe that visual delay caused you to think they were faking it.

Try it tonight with your guitar and you will see what I mean.

unless ur instrument is banjo or something

klaus

[foundoutthat]

Fantastic Song, Great Band. FRIGO and VIe look great on it.

[XOEmoQueenXO]

u sur ethats donnie he looks way younger

[herbthemagicman]

it was paul schaeffer who picked THIS as the song for them to play and, keeping with his tradition of playing songs when someone comes out or going in and out of commercials that have vague references to the guest, paul's band played stevie wonder's superstitious into the commercial just after enuff z'nuff finished.

[pjs100]

Derek tears it up! I'll be 80 years old and still listening to this bands albums!

[ferrari1586]

keep it up

[ferrari7568]

You go brother!!

[kamikaze2469]

My favorite band OF ALL TIME! These guys just flat out ROCK! I've been a fan since Day 1, and I'll never stop.

I love Vai, Eddie, Paul Gilbert, etc., but (and I know I may be biased :)) but I ranked Derek right up there. The way he plays is my favorite style! Rock on all and enjoy!!!

[davidLEErockxy]

Sweet! Enuff z nuff Ruls : )

[wixibixi]

derek frigo was on the greatest player

of all time...

miss him very well...

it hurts so much to see this..

r.i.p derek

[brngould]

Derek is the frickin best. I am from the s side of Chicago and ran into him often in clubs, etc. He is just great. I had the chance to talk to him for about an hour at Cro-Bar in Chicago one time about guitars, playing, etc... he was so cool. I grew up listening to Enuff Z Nuff. They are my all time favs. I recall hanging out with them at Stingrays on 103rd and Cicero. Frigo rules..

[AlteredBridge]

this cd never leaves my car.

[southplnk]

this has been in my car since '93 every song is perfect then again every enuff znuff song is perfect

[AlteredBridge]

very nice.

[ferrari7568]

you can say that again!! Glad to see people out there with good taste!!

[southplnk]

if i had one wish it would be to have enuff z' nuff perform somewhere in the tri state area

[WalruswasPaul88]

great singer frontman

[sebastianbach111111]

yeahhhh

[ozzy7568]

what year is this?

[n310ea]

I think it's either 92' or 93'.

[AlteredBridge]

this song is on animals with human intelligence, 1993

[snapsoidpablo1]

I remember when this aired and was so disappointed that vik foxx left them.

[twikirobot]

Best band ever.

[TangoCharlie27]

Donnie is a genius!!

Tc

[SideThree]

I love this band...thanks for posting this. These guys really should have been huge!

[DarkPrincess702]

[Faceoff9]

That's the Late Night house band...............

[noexistence11]

R.I.P DEREK FRIGO. Rock like crazy in heaven.

[Traductus5972]

It's pretty funny how these guys were a glam band. not that I have anything against glam bands but these guys were rediculous with it

[blondebuxombrainy]

What is it about Donnie Vie that makes him so charismatic?

I'm completely unable to stop watching this!

And I don't even like redheads usually.

[mamouna8]

I know what you mean.

[mistermiracle73]

fantastic singer.

[ktotam123]

that's cuz he's in a rock band. Duh... 'brainy'????

[chasfredricks]

thank you for posting this!!! i thought it was lost...forgot to mention chip...he's the bomb!!!

[chasfredricks]

I had this on vhs but it got taped over by my mom! My friend and i stayed up all night to record it and then immediately called each other up to discuss it. I memorized all of donnie and derek's moves from this performance...man, feels like yesterday!!!

[6672rock]

There used to be a video of Baby Loves You from Letterman's show on youtube before, but it got removed a while ago. I hope it comes back, because that was an awesome version of that song!

[ferrari7568]

its back

[geetarmikey]

Amazing, have you got any more from this show? I'm sure I've seen Baby Loves You as well.

[AngryAgain]

cool song
