Best Damn Yankees song in my opinion. You are right in saying that Tommy Shaw is a very underrated vocalist (and guitarist). Amazing song writer as well.

Yeah, now that I think of it, he absolutely never gets mentioned in conversations about the best singers. But he's frickin amazing!

I grew up in Teds neighborhood. He was older, but everyone talked about him. He played at a skating rink by my house and that was my first concert. Have seen him several times over the years and he always put on a great show. Ted rocks!

If anyone is underrated or overlooked... it's Jack Blades from Night Ranger. He is an excellent bass guitarist and vocalist. He has super high energy, and is a pretty good lyricist. You should definitely check out Night Ranger. Don't Tell Me You Love Me live from the Seven Wishes tour. When they say Super Group, that includes Jack. Also Uncle Ted is an insane guitarist! This is probably the only group or super group that was paid to walk away. They were too much of a disruption to the industry. They were so popular, and so good.... they were taking away from everyone else. They actually got paid off to quit! Pretty wild huh?😂

Ted Nugent is a Jedi. The drummer said in an interview that Ted would show up for the recording session, and he would just pull stuff out of the ether. It was like watching Beethoven or Mozart. No practice, no head-scratching, no pondering. Just like opening up faucet and watching water, pour out

You want to have some fun, whether on your channel or just on your own, check out the live version of this song. The guitar solo is expanded a bit and you can see just how much fun Ted is having on stage. I'd recommend "Don't Tread on Me" as one of their straight rock songs that gives you a chance to see how they sounded with Jack Blades singing lead. It's probably my second favorite song of theirs. And you said you weren't familiar with Jack's main band, Night Ranger. Most people would tell you to check out their biggest hit, the ballad "Sister Christian," but Jack didn't sing lead on that one. I'd go with "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" or "When You Close Your Eyes." The later song has an interesting dynamic where Jack sings lead on the verses, but the drummer, Kelly Keagy, sings lead on the chorus. Damn Yankees was a bit different that the other super groups of the era in that they had three different very well established members who could each sing lead, but that had all come from groups where they only sang lead part of the time. Granted Ted's vocals are nowhere near what Tommy and Jack can do, but the songs where he does sing lead like "Piledriver" are a lot of fun. Each of their voices have different strengths, and they were great about letting the song dictate who was going to sing lead. And to this day, they are still in the top five best sounding bands I ever saw live.

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.

You have earned a sub and much more watching from me for this video and the way that you feel about it thank you.❤🎉😊

I've been a fan of Tommy's since 1978, when my mother brought home Styx's "Pieces Of Eight on 8-track. He's my favorite lyricist, and in my top 3 or 4 male vocalists. Unfortunately the music world won't recognize him, or any of the members of Styx. Da*n Yankees had two albums, before music changed and went into grunge. I actually like their second CD more, "Don't Tread". The semi title cute is an absolute rocker...
