  • I used to watch this video all the time on the Headbanger's Ball back in the late 80's.

  • Too bad real life doesn't work like this. I've got a lot of people I'd like to turn into monsters, lol.

  • this vid is a real synthesis how rock n roll was an almighty in the 80's!!! today alternative bands cannot contaging anynone.. = /

  • D4vid eX Project covers this tune exactly as recorded on occasion . I love it it ! Y & T A Great band 4 sure !

  • Good thing my cuzin was there to change the path I was walking.

    If he was not there to change that, I would've been listening to the gay prick hip hop shit :)

    Which is why I am truely grateful :)

  • Jesus this song is catchy!!

  • I remember this from 1987.... One of their most popular hits.....

  • I am 23 and would love to go back to the 80s!

  • lol wow a uzi

  • Is it just me or does the 80's have something special, that none other era had or has?

  • How good are these lads? simply the best band on the planet....

  • This is great! I got this album when it came out!!! Wow, brings back some good mems of the day. Cheers!

  • This song rocks!

  • phil kennemore R.I.P. Y&T Rocked! I had this album back in 87....

  • Thatoneguyfromwalmar:

    Dude You are wise beyond your years.

    Please Please bring it back.

    You will not be sorry.

    Grow your hair, give 'em the finger, and Rock On.

    YOUTH IS KING.

  • Man, I see all these comments about us youth getting into this music. What I'm wondering is what the hell we're all doing? I'm 17, this stuff is all I listen to. New music doesn't have that great feeling 80's metal gave the generations before us. The youth needs to bring it back. I like the new sleaze movement, but they aren't capturing that 80's feel. Anyone else think it's time for us kids to grab an axe and take a piss in the music mainstream? Lets get in touch, do something about it.

  • @Thatoneguyfromwalmar START A MUSICAL REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Y&t kick ass nothing like crusin on a hot summer day listen to there music

  • This is a good song. Never heard it back in the 80's.

  • phill kennemore rip

  • Why people visit a video and then put dislike. If you don't like Y & T why would you even visit the page. These guys are great! Need to connect with them while they are still out there doing it up.

  • Y&T Kicks Serious Ass!!! Whatever happened to '80 Metal? Music today sounds like shit!

    Wish we could bring back Heavy Metal From The '80's. That would be cool.

  • Seriously this band made me change and made me who i am today. I was listening to pop until i accidentally watched a video of y&t. Then i began listening to old rock and now, im LOVE ROCK AND ROLL BABY! One day i heard that this band was underrated and i cant beleive...THIS BAND?! That made me change from pop to rock wasnt one of the best of the 80s? Haha...nothing equal Y&T !!!

  • Yeah, Helen Keller seems to be a complete dumbass. Or simply an ignoramus.

  • Helen Keller seemed to have pressed the dislike button 8 times, somehow . . .

  • Dominating the Concord Pavillion in the day...in fact Y&T rules everywhere they go!

  • Great band from East Bay Area.. but their videos really suck. Too much Hollywood glitz.

  • RIP phil :'-(

  • ta musique restera toujours ici bas! HARD ROCK RULES!

  • rockin good times, I hope the kids start taking up metal and bring god rock back,instead of all the shit thats out there

  • RIP Phil. Thank you for the music.

  • @master0fthemoon FUCK CANCER !!!! I hope he hooks up with Dio and Randy while in Heaven.

  • R.I.P. Phil Kennemore

  • sure miss the 80"s...i still rock out to hair bands...enjoy much heavier stuff, but its good to back to the day every once in a while...love it

  • nab this still rocks,,,,so right about bon jovi....Y&T rocked

  • "Running through a red light... twice the speed of sound" Does it get any bettAAA than this !

  • Those poor quakers ! LOL Wrong place at the wrong time ! ;)

  • algor123: i stand corrected. prayer was out first by almost a year.

  • Wow, I might have heard this song once in the 80's, they were so under the radar even for people aware of metal/hair metal. I listen to it now.... Bon Jovi totally ripped this off for Livin on a Prayer, both the background vocals and the feel of the main riff.

  • @tonemachine11 are you sure it was made before it ?

  • @tonemachine11 Pretty funny how they ripped this off considering 'Slippry' came out a year before this.

  • @driffter1976 No, dumbass. Y & T commisioned the same writer as Blow Jobi had previously, who had the same musical tendancies..

    Ignorant fool...

  • Dave and the boys....rock and party on!!!!

  • God, this takes me back to my senior year! What a great song, and so much amazing music from that era. Y&T, TNT, Babylon A.D., 220 Volt, Blue Murder, Shotgun Messiah, Loudness, Keel, Black N Blue, Dokken, Ratt, early Oz, Lep, man they were all great! Meniketti never did get enough credit as a shredder, in my opinion. Long live Rock 'n Roll!!!!

  • im only 15 but i listen to nuthin but 80s hair bands hell yea

  • @xoWINGERox You just keep on rockin', kid. You like the good stuff and not today's so called "music." You have good taste, don't let you bro's tell you different.

  • @xoWINGERox

    I definitely miss all that long hair....including my own.

  • Love these vids todays music sucks major balls.I'm 45  and hate the crap my kids listen to. 80's music rules

  • Love this stuff 45 and getting younger. The 80's rock

  • Best band of the time!.dave is the best guitarist i have ever had the pleasure of opening for. The best Band that existed back in the day!

  • Nikki sixx influences xDDD

  • They were always for the underdog. Y&T rules

  • hi grilldoe im 43.)and y&t is ol fan to me just so you know.saw hallo to marre:)

  • In the 80's no one in Europe knew anything of these guys. Got an album in the early 80's and a few after that. Hell even my Kiss oriented army friend got hooked. I still love Black Tiger the most with it's fresh attitude. No corny videos, just Dave's voice.

  • i saw them 3 hrs ago. always a great time seeing them live,

  • If your in 40s, this should bring back some good memories.

  • Hahaha...I am in my mid 40's and I haven't cut my hair in forever...but I've been told to cut it....not! Been told to leave it...Yes!....not time for someone worried about someone elses hair....but I love the rock from back in the day...

  • @BobinDallas check Danger Danger's "Keep on keeping on" it's a recent song that speaks about this will we all have to keep the music we love alive and of course, we may not look very trendy but... who cares? :)

  • Y&T will always be #1 in my books!!!!

  • Y & T will be preforming at the upcoming ' Sunset Strip Music Festival" with others like Slash, Kix, Smashing Pumpkins and more.....

  • Comment removed

  • Loved it then and still love it!! Y&T rocks!!

  • Great band!!

  • Back when Men actually looked like Men with their long Hair now they all look like a bunch of skin Heads with their Bald Heads. I take a Man with a Full Head of Hair any day.

  • @perpetual61 Some of us guys just don't do the comb-over. After a while it's quite obvious:) A wig would be living a lie! I had long ass hair from 1980-2000, but genetics determined the outcome. I'll take my skin dome to a rock concert any day and still not give a damn.

  • these guys r fuckin badass !!!! and wtf i wouldnt have wanted that chick after that first shit she pulled

  • Wow,I love this song!

  • Hell now mt hair is growing to my ass! You gotta love one of the most underrated bands...thank god they are still areound!

  • They're trying to rip-off Twisted Sister or Waldo from Hot for Teacher.

  • This is much better than Trapt's Contagious

  • Rock Fest on VH1 Classic!

  • i saw these guys in concert back in 1986!(haha)

  • This is what would happen if i organised the prom lmao

  • Oh man...the memories! I first saw this video on The Headbanger's Ball on MTV (remember back when they used to play ROCK music videos before crap shows like Yo! MTV Raps and Jimmy Kimmel's Remote Control ruined it all? Okay, I liked Remote Control, too). I ended up buying the cassette tape that had this song on it and wore it out listening to it in my Walkman while cutting the grass in 1988. I really liked "The Kid Goes Crazy" on this album too.

  • @stu11926

    i like yo mtv raps too- was jimmy kimmel on remote too? i just know about ken ober (who looks like him alot lol)

    listening to this song i always think about todays music cause its like day and night in comparison - todays music is the ultimate crap !!!!! no soul no energy no emttions just computerized flat sound- take any music genre

  • This song is simply fantastic! y&t should have been 100 x bigger than Bon Jovi

  • @MAGNUM2F Now I don't know about 100 xbigger then Jovi but this song does kick ass

  • mr.Meniketi,wow!!!

  • Awesome song and video! 80's 4ever!!!

  • cool song, great groove, terrible video...really lame, made a good band look like a bunch of dumb asses. Wonder if they knew how stupid this video script was when they were filming this

  • @AngryAgain all the vids of this time were shitty, come on this one looks like half of the rest...do some homework before you speak

  • @cooldad429  no they weren't all shitty, Y&T for some reason, and I refer to "don't stop running" liked to have this geek boy theme in their clips trying to get the girl and being intimidated by the jock. It was sillier than most. Ratt, Poison, Cinderella for example all made much better videos

  • two words FUCK YEAH!

  • im still a kid and i love this shit

  • @ThatGroupOfKids yeah man im only 20 years old and i reckon 80's hard rock is the best music ever. its a shame how a lot of kids these days listen to the new heavy metal screamo shit...or whatever they call it lol.

  • @marlon2489 i totally agree with you!!

  • GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT SONG

  • This is 23 years ago and music has gotten worse and not better since then. Thank god these good eightiees bands are coming back now!!!

  • dont you wish Y&T would play at your high school proms... thatll be cool

  • Hey Bro!I''m 50 and I'm still growing mine!

  • great song, chorus was copied by steel panthers party all day

  • Pure Hard Rock 80s!

  • mkay... best song... EVER. and im 14. seriously no 14 years old like any good music

  • @iLoveDreamTheater979 im 14 as well and i definatly seconbd that:D

  • @iLoveDreamTheater979 you want a medal? who gives a fuck if you're 14?

  • @driffter1976 You're pretty much a dick.

  • @ChristHasCome So? Like I said who gives a fuck if you're 14? Does it make you special that you like music that was made before you were born while others your age pursue modern trends in music? Do you want applause? Well??

  • @driffter1976 Hey, asshole-YES it DOES make him special that he likes music that was made before his time...

    Get fucked....Y & T kicks ass!

  • @NastyNole1 What makes you think I don't like Y and T you fucking two bit queer? Did I feel special liking Y & T back in 1992 when I was 16? Fuck no. I'd say it was before my time considering their first album came out in 76. I'll scorch your ass when it comes to this shit pal.

  • @ChristHasCome I agree with driffter you're a dick!!!! It's pretty cool that younger kids listen to music that i listened to when i was 14

  • @iLoveDreamTheater979 YEAH IT IS KINDA SPECIAL. Y&T WERE / ARE  SIMPLY ONE OF THE TOP BAND EVER TOP GRACE A STAGE.

  • @iLoveDreamTheater979 im 13 and i love Y&T they're my favorite 80s band

  • @iLoveDreamTheater979 I'm 14, and I dig these dudes.

  • Steel Panther stole the "riot-vocals" in this chorus to their song "party all day". listen to it and you'll hear, it's exactly the same... XD

  • @SireNahvas thats what steel panther does, they admit it too. they just copy off old bands from the 80s, like warrent they do alot of their stuff.

  • @SireNahvas Have you ever heard "Gimme Your Good Lovin" by Divin' For Pearls? It's a blatant ripoff of "Summertime Girls" - also by Y&T. Wonder if the dudes in Y&T know that yet?!

  • @bucky468 I promise you that they'll hear about it now! ;-)

  • Man, I was in USA when these guys released summertime girls. Those were the days!

    MTV was rocking then.

  • saw these dudes a couple of years ago and they can still rock. wish i was old enough to say i'd seen them back in the 80s though but then i could say the same about a lot of bands lol.

  • love classic songs like this that sound like these voices!!!!!

  • F--- Yeah!

  • What is the Singer and drummers name in this band ?

  • Comment removed

  • @rycon246 Dave Meniketti is the singer guitar player & Jimmy Degrasso was the drummer during this era.

  • I gotta say... i LOVE this Song :)

  • Dave Meniketti is bad (in a good way), but the cheese on this video is bad in a bad way:) Still love Y&T, though.

  • I loooooovvvveee Y&T and this song like a whole lot lol you know the song 'Party All Day' by Steel Panther well the chorus to it sounds exactly like this chrorus for this song. Don't mind though about that becuase I love both songs and bands. You know people should go check out this new hair band called Crashdiet, there freaking amazing!

  • this song rocks

  • jejejejeje

  • I'm 40 and screw it, I'm growing my hair out again....!!

  • @grilldoe HAHA Good I did mine :)

  • @grilldoe ....lol I feel the same way!

  • @grilldoe

    yeah! me too! let´s kick some ass! .... and burn it after midnight! those were fuckin good times ! :-)

  • @grilldoe I'm 25 and guess what thats awesome to hear. Fuck age! Cool is cool, regardless of anything else. Long hair, 80s rock and Y&T were cool then and still are now.

  • @grilldoe I'm 39 and I'm totally with you!

  • @grilldoe go for it!!!!....fuck em all :)

  • @grilldoe fuck yeah! that's the spirit! :D 

  • @grilldoe ROTFLMWFAO! That is what in the hell I'm talking about! Visit their website for THE BIG NEW YEARS BASH BENEFIT FOR PHIL KENNEMORE as it's going to be a wild night! You might just see something historical in the world of rock and I wouldn't miss it if I were you or anyone else! Hell I have every intention on being there! You should too!

  • @grilldoe 39 in the banking industry and NEVER CUT MINE. \m/

  • @grilldoe Hell yeah brother!

  • just listen the instrumental it s quiet similar to bon jovi living on a prayer ;) but i dig it amigos

  • Just got their Contagious CD. It's pretty good.

  • awesome song, but when i see this video i can't stop laughing. god bless digital animations. lol

  • Where. Sorry. Lol!

  • If you wonder were Jovi got the idea for Livin' On a Prayer well here it is. Lol! Great band and great song.

  • Living On A Prayer was released in 86, this came in 87

  • I remember this video I watched it all summer back in 1987 I was 12 years old

  • Really? Well my bad then. Thanks.

  • then dont fucking listen to them

  • i remember i hated rock then..... i hear this on the radio!

  • Saw 'em again in London 2 days ago - the business!! Always loved 'em! Met Dave's wife too - wonderful lady!! - see ya again next year lads x

  • Great Voice & Guitars by Dave ... awesome

  • So damn goood! It rocks. My youth.

  • great video , great song

  • 1:07 . Rocky horror picture show :D

  • totally freeki'n awsome!

  • Comment removed

  • their other big song is called "Summertime Girls". that is the song they are most remembered for~

    although i think this song is more catchier!!! both are very good songs for the time...

  • What about Mean Streak? Where they at one point a big Arena band or always stayed a bit underated?

  • @nfsriffle they were NEVER an arena headliner. They did open a tour for Motley Crue in 85. The highest up the ladder they ever got was a co-headlining tour of theaters with Ace Frehley, 3000 seaters basically. That was in 87 supporting this album CONTAGIOUS and is the only time I ever saw them

  • y&t don't look good in glam clothes

  • It was the 80s, dude, pretty much every band that played that type of music wore those types of clothes.

  • Y&T , formely Yesterday and Today , is not an 80's band, they started out in the 70s

  • Howcome the video is like one second ahead of the audio?

    Also does the nerdy kid turn into Cristopher Reeves at the end of the video? Can't really tell due to the poor quality but sure looks like him.

  • SUCCEEDED!!!!

  • What a funny video! Killer band though....

  • One of the best rockin tunes of the 80's that you'll never hear on the radio.

  • Dave meniketti had some good chops on guitar, as well as bein a great frontman

  • i absolutely love this video!! i just saw it on vh1 classic and they rock! Y&T is totally awesome!! ROCK ON!

  • I remember whey Y & T was Yesterday and Today. Dismissable as recording artists but when they were young it was face melting concert rock n roll. The original drummer needed a watch to keep time but was a freakin' animal with an amazingly fast (heel off the pedal) bass drum technique. They were the Rocky Balboa's of rock 'n roll. I once saw Sammy Hagar join them for an encore. Maybe if he had joined the band, who knows?

  • No, they were not "dismissable" as recording artists-in fact they were "indispensable" as recording artists and their entire body of work is proof positive the were the most underrated heavy rock band of the past three decades....

    Leonard Haze needed a watch to keep time-rigggghhhhht...I'm not buyin' that Haze had a clock in his face to play properly....

  • i did alot of partying listening 2 Y&T

  • Why weren't these guys bigger?

  • Because everyone of their songs sounded like a carbon copy of songs that were already out.  This sounds like Livin On A Prayer by Bon Jovi at the beginning.

  • huh... just noticed that...

  • I need to correct myself, it is the :27 mark of You Give Love A Bad Name that this song rips off at :16

  • Nothing Like You Give Love a Bad Name either.

  • You are an idiot. It is 100% identical on the staccato guitar parts. :15 of this song and :28 of You Give Love A Bad Name are identical...You are simply an idot...lol

  • No anyone who would listen to You Give Love a Bad Name and say that they are

    "100%" IDENTICAL would have to be a tone deaf moron. I just finished listening to both tunes and they are not IDENTICAL!

  • You are only showing your own stupidity saying that....I don't even need to say it anymore.

  • different fuckin notes mate

    big difference

    and also in different directions on the scale its in man, maybe you should look up the TABS and compare

  • actually he's right, both songs share same notes!!! They are just arranged a little different.

    So, yes they are a little the same as well more different...

  • You are musically ignorant, myopic and clueless of the scene at this time...

    Y & T did NOT rip off Blow Jobi, you moron...

  • Hey man you're totally right! Gotta love it when morons don't do their research and try to argue the facts with you right? HAHA. Just tell him that this band originated in 1976 and they were originally called Yesterday and Today(after the Beatles!) later shortened to Y & T in 1980-long before cheesy glam like Bon Jovi and Poison came around. Beat em both by a full decade! Cheers

  • Check out Wolfgang's vault; there is live Yesterday and Today concert audio from the 1970's.

  • You need to grow a pair of ears. This sounds NOTHING like Living on a Prayer.
