Damn Yankees - Coming Of Age (Video)

[greekfreak1980]

Uncle Ted is playing a really cool PRS guitar here.Custom made I guess?

[timmythetard420]

@bdjr43 hahah good 1

[Zygamo58]

I'm still surprised they could find a studio big enough for both 'Uncle' Teddy and his ego. The guy's am unabashed prick, and the Damn Yankees as a rock power band were doomed to a two-hit wonder because of him.

[sleazebeaze]

@Zygamo58 Nugent is definitely a prick. Just don't like the " Uncle " comment. If he were my uncle, I'd shoot my grandmother

[MThrow]

@Zygamo58 All lead guitarists are egomaniacs, lol.

[frostedhead]

Young Snatch! Ted Nugent, ha ha ha....

[shawnperreault1]

been a while since i heard this one

[haywood16]

3 morons are not coming of age

[96gummyworms]

Never in my life have I heard better song about puberty.

Major props to Michael, Jack, Tommy, and Ted!

[myNifty350]

I not here to see Damn Yankees, just Ted Nugent

[kdwwrigh]

uncle ted enough said

[1tensoldier1]

Why thats those Damn yankees what wasn't possed to come down yonder!!

[sight92]

Never before have I ever felt such respect for Ted Nugent.

This gives me the chills.

Glorious.

[slhoffman8]

These guys had enough energy to power a small city.

I love it. :)

[SuperMat28]

It would be cool to see Damn Yankees ,Ted Nugent,Styx and Lynyrd Skynyrd on tour all great bands that would be good to see on the same Concert bill

[mike4asianwoman]

I wish the advertisement would begin at the end!!!!!!!!!!

[catalyst4081]

@mike4asianwoman but, it would take longer time to hit replay ;-)

[legendsveil]

sounds good :)

[MsKeith1969]

is it just me or does the kid in the red polka-dot button down shirt and the black fedora remind me of butthead on "beavis and butthead?"

[96gummyworms]

I'm a teenager NOW! I wish I had been around when these guys were playing together!

[NearlyKings]

0:28 for the coolest guitar strap EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RockNEHouseNHipHop]

SCREW THE RULES! This is the kind of music I am making with my band! I can make hits without commercialism! I can make hits with an old sound! NO! WE will make hits without using a modern sound! We have to spread our music our own way. "If You Can't Lick Em, Lick Em"! Use the radio and use the word to spread the good music! Only the ones who put in effort instead of complaining will succeed!

[benbemo]

this is the way rock should be !!!!

[TheWiscohunter]

they dont make music like they used to..miss the eighties and early nineties.

[ClassicRockVw]

Great Hard Rock Band,3 artist music perfect! Like Voice Tommy Shaw and More

[wywybeanie]

Why why why on every goddamn video on you tube does some ass hole have to mention the number of dislikes and make an insulting comment, do you morons have absolutely no originality? The shit is old!!!!! I don't care who dislikes it or how many people dislike it or your opinion on those who dislike it, come up with something different for christs sake!!!!!!!

[nineball26]

whats with all the march madness (official playlist) knigger shit on the right? no one here wants to hear that monkey shit, fuggin one two buckle my shoe, three four, HIT the F'n DOOR!

[24SweetThing]

Damn good song, and damn good band. PERIOD

[nbvca1]

the greatest strip club song ever made!

[vcredr6]

The 3 dislikes are granola-munching, gun-loathing libs who will automatically hate anything Uncle Ted is associated with.

[gailmckennag]

adulthood is hype - i havbe nothing but i'm in debt. shouldn't i get good food and cloything and records?

[gailmckennag]

awesome - was this a supergroup - ted nugent and ...........

[queensryche156]

@gailmckennag Ted Nugent, Tommy Shaw of Styx, and Jack Blades of Night Ranger

[plferris1]

Agree I love the 80s and always will They Rock on Forever 

[goinggreen234]

wouldnt it be cool if this music came back. :) oh i would love to see that.

[neonskyism]

don't get me wrong i love this album...but as a teenager myself i must say that everybody my age has acne, mood swings, disorders, and braces. i don't know what this guy is talking about...

[Alcohollica1966]

@neonskyism Really?!?! How about....Friday night, the back seat of a car, your favorite girl, a bottle of anything, and time to get crazy? You never "Came of age"? You missed too much junior......blind fumbling, first feel, sweating with the lights blaring....cop in the rear- view mirror...Been there, done that..LOLWhat the FUCK has happened to this world?!?!?!

[TheSaosin24]

Best fucking song on the album!!

[kentuckycowboy2]

This reminds me of the time I stopped & introduced myself to a beautiful little back headed lady , " She said she was married but she did sometimes " My heart just sank .

[dashielove]

what nice hair!

[skitzorockstar]

the best super group EVER!

[tenna40]

CHECK OUT TEDS GUITAR STRAP!!!!!!

[Stellaaahhh]

I fuckin love the Wildman! wooowooo! I miss this original Supergroup gawddammit!

[nbiancalana]

i like VeracTyr's response.

[jazzguitar2010]

You can beginning hating advertisements on youtube in 5 seconds . . .

[KevinBKlein]

I love this band !!! totally asskick'in rock

[dbryans76]

They were my 1st concert with Bad Company @ DTE. Still one of the best concerts I ever went to. They played everything from all their previous bands.

[raleep1]

@dbryans76 That was a great show, was that the show where Ted shot a flaming arrow at a Saddam hussain dummy?

[dbryans76]

@raleep1 ...yes it was. I think he shot Saddam at the whiplash bash too that year.

[jazzguitar2010]

Growing old is all about remembering when you were young. Such is life.

[puzzlemeus]

The 3 people who "disliked' this song simply SUCK!!!!!

[JenniferMcE]

<3 Ted Nugent.

[jwvallone]

@btownmxer

You are out of your mind. Respect everything that man stands for, he gives the responsible hunter & gun owner a voice!

God Bless Uncle Ted and God Bless the Spirit of the Wild!

[kaqthy1963]

@jwvallone so right ted a great person

[vodkatits101]

@jwvallone Amen brother!

[moviebuff383]

...80's styles rocked! Ted Nugent's zerba guitar :)

[dancerin6]

I saw them when i was 8yrs old...that was 20 yrs ago! saw styx last summer and Tommy Shaw sang this! Bad ass!!!!!!!!

[rahne2112]

Tommys hair was always so nice

[misplacedkansan]

Hey Uncle Ted - Thanks to you and this video, I bought a pair of size 34-W, 34-L, skin-tight, gray Levi's 501s, with the infamous 'button-fly' (see 2:03). For some reason, the ladies never quite flocked to me, like they did to you. Oh yeah...I'm not a famous rocker!

You rock, the Damn Yankees rock, and so does this song. Wish music was still this fun and good.....

[LHat99zz]

who is that oh yeah...UNCLE TED MOTHER FUCKERS!

[theclipreaper]

I was actually looking for the british tv show

[wyvernrider100]

@theclipreaper lucky for you you found something better

[theclipreaper]

@wyvernrider100 whatever you say

[glostadad1970]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THESE GUYS GET BACK TOGETHER

[birddogtx]

Super Band in effect!!

[HipsterVicious]

I've just realized the bassist is Jack Blades from Night Ranger D: ! COOL :D!

[2012MINIME]

idk about you guys, but im fucking fed up with this hip hop influence bullshit .

whatever happened to the good old days when music actually had talent and

effort?

whatever happened to the days when bands like this, actually tried with their music?

whatever happened to big hair, spandex pants, and guitars everywhere.

back when music was actually GOOD?

im sick and tired of rap slowly destroying music. if you feel the same way post this EVERYWHERE. don't let the spirit of rock die!

[AntiSemantic1]

@2012MINIME The greedy, racist, Zio-jews are what happenend to it. They found out that idiotic, stoner white kids would pay through the nose for rap shit!

[MrBrianJross]

@2012MINIME I AGREE i miss them days...Just watched Hot Tub Time machine Loved when he ask the chick

!!WHAT COLOR IS MICHEL JACKSON!!! BLACK killer move miss them 80's

[NearlyKings]

@2012MINIME And dont forget Techno that shitty ass music is stupid ass fuck takes only a finger to make a sound to press a fuckin box and dumbass kids think its awesome and the hardest thing to do

[wtfomgrofllol319]

@2012MINIME What happened people having their own opinion and not getting others shoved down their throat? You have to realize times change bro. I don't listen to rap, but I can guarantee you that it's not "taking over". I listen to all kinds of music, but i dont think one is better than the other. You need to Stop living in the 90's man, seriously.

[tenchimouse]

@2012MINIME No worries :) we ALL will keep rock alive and it's looking good. Peace!

[kjetilsenNOWAY]

@2012MINIME The Strokes? Kings Of Leon? Foo Fighters? Arcade Fire? Arctic Monkeys? Metallica?

And what happened to big hair, spandex pants? Nirvana happened...

[Dakotatuner17]

@kjetilsenNOWAY Don't put Foo Fighters with all those shitty bands, Foo Fighters are the only cool alternative band, agree with the second sentence.

[kjetilsenNOWAY]

@Dakotatuner17 Wow, really... So your saying the strokes first album "Is This It" is bad? Rolling Stone nominated it for the 2000 - 2010 second best album.

[Dakotatuner17]

@kjetilsenNOWAY I personally don't like that band, so I don't know.

[TheHuntr93]

i tried posting a link to this song on facebook and it said it was flagged as "abusive". like wtf

[109367]

@Georgecovers yeah

[heather4evergirl]

How could you not love Damn Yankees? They are awesomeness...period!!

[grenadertaf]

on DONT TREAD ON ME there only 4 . whos on the lead VOX ?

[john0763]

@grenadertaf To begin with, there are only four in the band. Tommy, Jack, Ted, and Mike. Jack and Tommy are sharing lead vox.

[muzicboy99]

School of rock always reminds me of this song

[highwaymanpp05]

Cruisin' the local strip on fri.and sat. nite windows rolled down, radio cranked up, am/fm/cassette player,2oowatt graphic equlizer, and Jensen Tri-axe 6x9s in the rear deck. we didnt have 5000 watt amps and 12 inch subs, didnt know what they was yet. we had 300 to 500 bucks in our stereos nowu gotta spend 1000s to have a decent system

[atomicpunk48]

I remember this song being all over the radio when it came out. But was Ted Nugent running out of money? He doesn't seem to fit in here. Always wondered why he split with Derek St. Holmes. They were a great combo.

[laserguy67]

is it me or does Tommy Shaw look like a young Shawn Michaels,

[mybabies2ful]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... all of them please.. i will be at table 4 this was when i was coming of age and on stage... nobody knew it that was my secret

[mybabies2ful]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... all of them please.. i will be at table 4

[hammerman7777]

How much did Nugent like playing this pussy top 40 crap?

[jeffdamron]

@hammerman7777 looks like he is having fun to me...looks like "this pussy top 40 crap" got him tons of pussy.

Also he helped write it so i guess you call him a pussy also.

[24SweetThing]

Another underrated band. This band was very talented. Nugent could play the shit out of a guitar. i really like these guys. Wish they were still together or I could just go back to the 80s, where life was a hell of alot simpler. Just fire one up and enjoy the music. BTW, if anyone invents a time machine, plz let me know. Im going with ya. LOL

[TheGreatDuck]

Ahh,too bad this band ended up doing mostly average pop-rock music,considering the talent of their members.

Still,I'd take this over any modern pop or mainstream rock any day.

[pikslyde]

FREAKIN AWSOME !!!! Wish they would get back together

[86peterbilt359]

these guys were the first super group-fuckin awesome

[wafflemuncher23]

i needed to be bon in the 60s so i could have grown up in the time period that music made sense and was just amazing!!!!!!!!!! i hate the new shit that the music industrys come up with its like listening to the same backround music just with diffrent lyrics wow. get your shit together and go back to the days of 70-80s rock!!!!

[aerofanone]

Wow Vevo you sure do know your audience. Who else would advertise Jay Z, Michael Buble, and Bruno Mars on a video of a kick ass hair metal band with a bunch of seventies rockers in it? I mean they are like exactly the same thing right?

[RAIDERS7009]

every one of thier songs start off great... than they get weak.. lame songs

[LotteGabriellaPN]

still like it :-)

[TheSloppyJoeians]

damn yankees, hell yes!!

[kamikazeboy123]

is it just me or does it sound like acdc at some part??

[StephanieHammack]

@kamikazeboy123

Maybe the high pitched vocals but, Yankees and AC/DC each have a distinct sound.

[Halfno]

@kamikazeboy123 If you want to hear an 80's band that sounds like AC/DC look up Cinderella. They are excellent.

[kamikazeboy123]

@Halfno i know about that band but for me cinderella is abit of aerosmith. btw im 15hehe

[Monica1C3]

GOD!, Nice ass, Nuge!

[songoku254]

this is what music was not the remakes that they have out now

[coleslaw1000]

Is it just me, or could Ted Nugent pass for Braveheart?

[greekshark]

Fantastic Song!!!Pure hard rock!!!Damn Yankees rule!!!!!

[tomcamp6023]

This is the best SUPER GROUP!!! Sick.

[7865617]

She Gave Me A Wig?? J.K....

[StiffyTheBand]

all these old fags think this is good music LOL

[tomcamp6023]

@StiffyTheBand . You looking for attention little boy. Negative or postive. Your parents must have not been there for you. Sorry about that.

[StiffyTheBand]

@tomcamp6023 they were and i grew up on this shit. now that i know music and music theory i can easily say this is the simplest music ever made.

[josidiah]

@StiffyTheBand Well, I'm glad that you know music.. at least in theory :D I'm sure you're busy writing songs that switch from 11/8 to 7/8 with the occasional 21/16s in between, but excuse me I'll be still listening to this "simplest" song as you call it, because when I hear something "beautiful", I don't care if its "simple" or not.

[StiffyTheBand]

@josidiah its not beautiful, it sucks.

[sandygravatt1022]

@StiffyTheBand u fag

[CoolKindaGuy1029]

@StiffyTheBand Wow Bitchface. This is an amazing rock song. It changes twice before the chorus! Not to metion the awesome guitarists! Are you on crack?! Name a band that writes music like this with a line up as tight as Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades Ted Nugent, And Michael Cartellone, some Italian looking artist guy playing drums!!! and just so you know asshole i'm 20 and this rocks.

[StiffyTheBand]

@CoolKindaGuy1029 why would i want to compare great contemporary musicians to such poor ones.

[koochka]

I would love to see for a summer tour a Damn Yankees reunion tour. I'd pay top dollar to see that. They were my first real concert I saw with Bad Company. I think is was 15 then. GREAT MUSIC!!!!

[kaysandesses]

Saw Damn Yankees in 1990 or 91 with opening for Bad Company. Should have been Bad Company opening for Damn Yankees. Amaaaaaaazing concert.

[Snoopy4406]

@kaysandesses yea I would think it would of been the other way around! I did see Bad company with climax Blues Band.Both were good but not as great as Damn Yankees.

[tac247]

Ted looks so happy, he must have killed and grilled a fury little animal on his way to shoot this video.

[tomcamp6023]

@tac247 . Check out damn yankees ' COME AGAIN" Nugent is even in a better mood. Great music does that too you.

[THCJunkiE]

great song for naked chicks to dance to

[Cobra0081]

@THCJunkiE It's been played in Hustler's barely legal club. Naughty Naughty by Danger Danger is a good one also

[tsfanoh10]

Damn, Tommy and Jack are hottttttttttt...........

[newgirl456]

Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw are awesome. So is Jack Blade, but I like "High Enough" a lot better.

[VeracTyr]

I miss being a teenager

[nosajrepsak]

@VeracTyr I wish I could go back... Knowing what I know now....

[dwdiesel3294]

[Alcohollica1966]

@MsKeith1969 AND HOW !!! It was SO much simpler in the 70's and 80's!!! Getting laid, getting drunk, getting...whatever....no worries...What happened?!

[MsKeith1969]

@Alcohollica1966 i am sorry to have to be the one to say this, but, UNFORTUNATELY, what happened is that we all had to grow old, MOST UNFORTUNATELY!!! let's face it - ADULTHOOD SUCKS!!!!! (except for being able to buy womens magazines and girlie magazines)

[Alcohollica1966]

@MsKeith1969 LOL!! True...not to mention, lately I've noticed that most of the mirrors I look into are broken or something, because the guy staring back at me looks old, and a little blurry to boot. Ah, to be 20 again. Young, dumb, and full of cum.

[mike4asianwoman]
