FIRE INTRO & FIRE SOLOS!! First Time Hearing Damn Yankees - Come Again Reaction!

[@ericlundgren4623]

One of my all time favorite solos. Uncle Ted absolutely slays..

[@jeffreyhender5272]

Tommy effing Shaw. Incredible singer, songwriter, and guitar player. Triple threat.

[@jamestate5059]

Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw were made to sing together. Their harmony is amazing

[@MarkMay-cr6bv]

Lots of guys can sing well. It's special when the right voices blend together, and Jack and Tommy are definitely two of those voices.

[@GeraldLange1968]

Unlike modern artists.....no backing tracks, pitch control or auto tuning in the studio Just pure high level writing and musicianship.

[@kellycollins7356]

Jack blades. You never say his name. Night ranger. Loved them as a kid. So many good songs. You can still rock in america

[@karinanderson9722]

Tommy Shaw of course but Jack Blades from Nightranger. Definitely check out Nightranger as well. I I love their song When you close your eyes.

[@type3tom]

I can’t believe they forgot or didn’t mention Jack Blades

[@VinceEmbry]

Yes. Nightranger.

[@perustc9158]

Ted effing Nugent on lead guitar!

[@liberallioness4335]

They are an amazing band the song "High Enough" is one of my absolute favorites💯

[@Abri412]

Definitely do High Enough. Great song, and I promise you will get the crazy eyes from Uncle Ted.

[@jaquestraw1]

Uncle Ted killin' it

[@KyleKassel]

Tommy Shaw is one of the most talented singer/songwriter/musicians to have ever played rock and roll. Dude still sounds the same at 71 years old! Great song, great album and great band!

[@MontanaCindyLou]

It's amazing to watch videos of Styx still rocking today and Tommy sounding exactly the same, jumping around like he did decades ago at 71 years old.

[@DanaStout72]

Pretty sure I wore out this cassette tape back in the day, great stuff!!

[@michaelhillmann3460]

4 outstanding musicians, 2 albums of total fire then came the grunge era and rock went away for a while.

[@davidwamhoff7637]

Nugent literally makes love to that guitar.

[@johnlongenecker7779]

No he doesn't. He throws that guitar on the bed, ties it up, and has his damn WAY with it.

[@nancywood8589]

One of my absolute favorites! Another great one from Damn Yankees is Where You Going Now? You really can’t go wrong with anything from this band. Thanks for the reaction!

[@cellyblank9919]

Yes please react to High Enough, it is one of the greatest rock songs of the 90s! More rock-super groups are needed 😀

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

DAMN YANKEES - "" High Enough (Official Music Video) "" Another Rockin' Classic from 1990 this one is Awesome

[@GS-xt8fu]

Fire and than some. An amazing amazing collection of Lee vocalist from other groups combined with a phenomenal guitarist.

[@damondennis4535]

High Enough is one of my favorite songs ever and the video is awesome

[@elcaruga4933]

Great Super Group, Great Uncle Ted.

[@Bandits77TA]

Always loved this song. Absolute banger!👍

[@MontanaCindyLou]

[@billc.5861]

[@beckyrinaldi6622]

Love Damn Yankees!

[@bonniemonaco2052]

Bad Reputation is one of my favorites.

[@alanbarger7712]

That whole album rocked. I saw them live with Bad Company. What a show!

[@cotadog4472]

Saw them in Raleigh NC w/ Bad Company \m/

[@alanbarger7712]

@cotadog4472 I saw them in the old Jacksonville coliseum. I think it was the last show held there before the arena was built.

[@bobshaw8319]

My cousin Tommy is an absolute badass

[@msfoodiediva]

Coming of age was the first to played off this album. High enough was the biggest hit. The whole album is great should be played

[@mattjohnson7725]

Don’t tread on me is their best one !! Got to do that one guys

[@KaidenOrgana]

They were great live, we saw them back in the day.

[@evhleppard]

Ted with an amazing solo in this one.

[@johndonovan758]

So glad this song is finally getting more reactions. It just goes so hard. If I listen to this on my stationary bike, it lifts me up about 3 heartrate zones!

[@RossanoMacchioni-gm4mg]

Ted nugent great guitar player

[@acripe9875]

LOVE THIS!!!!! I could watch this video over and over again!

[@Thedesertguy75]

Ah man that song, that era. Soooo good

[@dirtyburd71]

Ted can pull out all the stops and hit pure shred mode at will!!!!

[@joebarrera9741]

YES A TRUE SUPER GROUP UNCLE TED NUGENT ON GUITAR ,TOMMY SHAW VOCALS AND GUITAR AND JACK BLADES ON VOCALS AND BASS ...EXCELLENT THEY HAD 2 ALBUMS

[@christopherten-eyck4473]

Awesome video. No auto tune on the old rock bands back then. Hello from PA USA ❤❤❤

[@tomaleshire4145]

It's not "The" STYX🔥, it's just STYX.🤭❤️✌️

[@paulstewart6203]

I met the guys in Damn Yankees in the early 90s at Riverport Amphitheater in STL, my friend was related to Jack blades, and they had a room for the family to gather, and on the door of the room was a damn Yankees logo sign with the word Yankees crossed out and the word family written underneath it, and I got to talk to Tommy Shaw for about 10 seconds, super nice guy.

[@dustinjones8887]

YES! My favorite album my Sr year in high school. I saw them twice in '90 and '93. That whole album was awesome! Ted Nugent, Tommy Shaw of Styx and Jack Blades of Night Ranger. Check out Rock In America from Night Ranger.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Saw Styx at Pine Knob Amphitheater in Michigan June 2024. Tommy Shaw still sounds great 🔥

[@wadstur8429]

One of my favorite concerts that I ever went to. Loved Night Ranger, loved Styx and I really loved watching Ted play the guitar. They were so much fun 🤩

[@anitamiller4351]

Tommy Shaw was so underrated as lead vocalist.

[@fenderchamp8241]

Love Tommy's band, The Sticks. 😆

[@donnyrodenbergerjr4757]

The other guitarist is Jack Blades from Night Ranger. He's also the singer of that band. You should check out the song Don't Tell Me You Love Me from them.

[@donjackson5522]

Supergroups were so big in the 80's-90's. Wish there were musicians today that would just get together and have fun like this. Another great supergroup is Asia. They are made up of John Wetton of King Crimson, Steve Howe & Geoff Downes of Yes and drummer Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Heat Of The Moment, Only Time Will Tell, Go, Don't Cry are some of their biggest songs.

[@williamjones6031]

They only have two albums but what's on them speak for themselves. This "SUPERGROUP" got together, and Tommy asked what name they should use and Uncle Ted said, "I don't know about you, but we look like a bunch of Damn Yankees" A great song from this album is "Dirty Dog". I think you'll enjoy doing that one.

[@bkeyser]

Ted shredding that PRS.

[@bentighe4811]

The point of a supergroup is that game recognizes game, and you have to assemble a group of high-level operators who want to play together. Each member of the band was a musician's musician, and they had two amazing singers (Shaw and Blades) and a third very confident and capable singer (Nugent). Most people don't know the drummer (Michael Cartellone), but he's also a virtuoso - witness his later recruitment to Ted Nugent's and John Fogerty's bands touring bands, and then Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@jamestate5059]

You forgot Jack Blades on bass and vocals. Check out their song Coming Of Age it has Jack on lead vocals. Also the drummer went on to be the long time drummer for the current Lynyrd Skynyrd band

[@dgator3599]

I saw them in concert back in the early 90s in Jacksonville, FL. It was one of the loudest concerts I've been to. Ted Nugent is a monster of a guitarist! Tommy Shaw of Styx, (guitarist and singer) enough said. Jack Blades of Night Ranger, crazy good vocals. Felt very fortunate to have had the chance to see them.

[@Lee4364]

Probably Ted's best work.. the producer got Ted's best structured work out of him by far!

[@RandomCogitations]

Please do "High Enough" (official music video).

[@pegajense]

❤❤❤❤❤ love the vocals

[@momeyerjr]

Damn Yankees were an American rock supergroup formed in New York City, in 1989. Consisting of singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw of Styx, singer/bassist Jack Blades of Night Ranger, guitarist Ted Nugent of the Amboy Dukes, and drummer Michael Cartellone (who would later join Lynyrd Skynyrd). years active 1989-1994, 1998-2001, 2004, 2010

[@wadeoszust3423]

Damn Yankees put out two albums, both were good.

[@gswithen]

This whole album is a rock masterpiece. Every track is incredible. I saw them a few times live they toured with Bad Company. One more album came out in 1992 then it was over.

[@zag7165]

I ead an interview with Jack Blades near the end. Nuge took them hunting and they were absolutely terrified from the experience. haha.

[@tommigun102470]

Love this song!

[@mattjohnson7725]

Uncle Ted for President 😬

[@baneslists]

Don't Tread on Me is a must!

[@kcgibbs]

The Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent.

[@csphoenix9]

Jack Blades is the bass player

[@Osiris363]

You 2 need to get on some Great White, one of the only 80's "hair" bands I really loved and they have a long catalogue of great hits, and if you liked this you'll def like Great White. Hpouse of Broken Love and Once Bitten Twice Shy are good to start with.

[@alexwimmergren5239]

They got a bunch of excellent songs!

[@martipeterson4079]

You need to listen to Don't Tread on Me. Starts out full hard rock. Awesome band in concert.

[@duncansbuddy]

Super Group, Super Talents, hold on - Uncle Ted takes u there..

[@jfree336]

Great band

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

Crystal Ball & Suite Madame Blue are 2 Great early Styx songs

[@trevorrichardson2200]

One of my all-time favorite songs!!!❤

[@truckrboat]

The drummer is Michael Cartellone who has played drums with Tommy on his solo stuff, he toured with Ted nugent, Peter Frampton, John Fogerty and I believe he is still with lynyrd skynyrd. Comin of age, and High Enough are two of their bigger songs. Ted was basically just the guitar player for these guys. Jack and Tommy were great singers apart and together Ted didn’t need to do much else with them. Jacks group Night Ranger you definitely need to check out. Sister Christian and Don’t tell me you love me are two of their bigger songs hits

[@raymo6795]

...I think Nugent sings "Pile Driver"on this album....it sounds like a Nugent tune...it was a great album

[@DeAnne1233]

I played High Enough and Don’t Tell Me You Love Me on repeat. Lip-sang and air-played when anyone else was around but belted it out when no one was home; felt great.

[@gremmiehodad]

Another Good One Guys! You owe it to yourselves to check out any and all Styx and Night Ranger! Also the highly overlooked Shaw/Blades albums Especially, their Influence album where they do some fantastic renditions of popular 70s songs! Killer Harmonies & Musicianship!!

[@denisealexander5441]

Jack Blades and Night Ranger are awesome! Check out Don't Tell Me You Love Me live from the Seven Wishes tour.❤

[@shannonherb2048]

Not the first cats to do an album together but one of my favorites. Great reaction yall..

[@peterokeeffe8307]

It was short lived time for Damn Yankees with the respective members going back to their previous bands after 2 albums. The other part of the 'supergroup' is Jack Blades from Night Ranger. That is a band you should also check out sometime. 'Sister Christian' was one of their big hits.

[@richardcranium5048]

Don't Tell Me You Love Me

[@dustinjones8887]

For B&B I would recommend first, Rock in America or Don't Tell Me You Love me by Night Ranger if you want to see Jack Blades sing. The drummer Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger sang Sister Christian.

[@peterokeeffe8307]

@@dustinjones8887 I know. I just mentioned that as it was their biggest hit. My favourite song is Rain Comes Crashing Down. I think Jack sings that one.

[@nealm6764]

I saw a documentary about DY and it said despite their 2 albums selling pretty well, when Nirvana blew up, and Pearl Jam, etc. the music industry shifted entirely towards grunge and wanted to unload their old "dinosaur" rock bands. The record label actually paid DY a couple of mill to buy them out of their contract so they wouldn't have to release any more of their albums. Crazy!

[@TSBfixitnow]

One of my all time favorite solos

[@77magakill]

Damn Yankees were a great group!! Loved their music!! They only put out 2 albums and their record label paid the band $1 Million to not make a 3rd album, most of the reasoning was because the hair music was not popular anymore.

[@martinsv9183]

"Coming of Age" is pretty good too.

[@Rocker1983]

Piledriver is a great deep cut from this album.

[@nuge1717]

So is rock city. Love that one

[@GussieS-kx2vy]

I believe they were paid to split up! They were that good! 🥰💜

[@allenlocke1935]

You overlooked Jack Blades of Night Ranger, an incredible vocalist/bassist/ songwriter that is criminally overlooked here. He is a major part of the equation here. It's forgivable though because Tommy Shaws' vocals and Uncle Ted shine so bright on this track. I would like to know just how much of the lead guitar on this track was Ted and /or Tommy...becuase Tommy is capable of incredible solo work. I wouldn't surprise me if Tommy had a good portion of this one on guitar too:)

[@williamwilson6887]

Hey guys. Longtime viewer from Gatineau Qc. This band was great when they hit the scene. I’d very much like to suggest a video for you to watch. Similarly to this one it begins slow and builds to pure power. The lead singer (also lead guitarist) is incredible !!! The band is called GIANT and the song is I’ll see you in my dreams. The power, grit and soul in his vocals is incredible and 1/2 way through he’ll impress you with an amazing guitar solo. One of the most underrated bands of their time.

[@jmatthewssmith]

Awesome reaction...

[@DAMHoo]

Jack Blades of Night Ranger has a great voice as well. Y’all should do some from Night Ranger

[@Hobodeluxe007]

Higher is probably their best. Jack Blades is from Night Ranger. Saw them in concert back when they were hot on the charts. Touring with Bad Company.

[@Michigan_farmboy]

Just to be clear, Tommy is the light blond singing, Jack Blades is the other darker blonde/brown also singing, and Ted is the darker haired one with the ripping solo.

[@whey4u]

The ONLY time Ted had a number one song was with Damn Yankees for Coming of Age. Check out Blades and Shaw’s music too. Tommy and Jack did some music with their kids playing with them! Those two were outstanding song writers!

[@sweetwilliam5150]

I think this band was Nugents best work. Killer lead guitar stuff on both albums.

[@vincegedeon6583]

You need to listen to the song called Damn Yankees by them it blows this song away

[@garysteinert8040]

Big fan. These guys were paid by the record company to not do a third album…. Crazy.

[@jimroutt2796]

This was the loudest concert ever! I thought my ears were going to bleed!

[@JerseyBA62]

i won a hamer guitar autographed by the damn yankees.years ago.

[@jamestate5059]

You forgot Jack Blades from Night Ranger on bass and vocals. Check out their song Coming Of Age it has Jack on lead vocals. Also the drummer went on to be the long time drummer for the current Lynyrd Skynyrd band

[@FrancoTemplet]

Damn Yankees are extremely underrated, and under represented in the reaction channel genre. Do 'Mystified'

[@stevenlawrence7340]

​@@1960BobDpretty sure its you who is racist. Ted has had black musicians in his band hes still friends with. Obviouly overall most probably dont like the guy. But at least dont make false allegations. If its political...he has a right to his opinions as did everyone. Maybe youre mad cause of the large victory of the candidate Nuge supported in a fair election. Either way ccongrats on trolling.

[@TimMurphy-q5v]

​@1960BobD Teds a racist?? Hes had black band members for decades and they have never complained.

The drummer is Michael Cartellone who now plays with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@jerryluttig157]

No auto tune.

[@bimini1216]

Ted nugent at his best. Great guitarist

[@CJ-Fischer]

Plus Micheal Cartellone on drums who has played with like everybody such an amazing lineup and probably a huge cash grab for the 4 of them 😂

[@zag7165]

Definitely check out Jack Blades (Bassist) of Night Ranger fame. Their first album is fire. There isn't a bad song on the first Damn Yankee's album neither. Great hard rock tunes.

[@christhompson1913]

Come on guys !! Can’t say damn Yankees with Jack blades from night Ranger ! Got to check out night ranger ! Incredible super group with 4 of the elites
