Nugent kicks lethal a*s. I'll be looking for the CD. It's been 16 years
since Ted has been in a band that didn't have his last name. It was the
Amboy Dukes and before that it was the Lourds. Were talkin early 60's.

| Oh yeah, I kept meaning to enter a note about this....
I've heard the single a few times now, its called "Coming Of Age". Not too
bad, actaully. Reminds me more of Nightranger than Styx or Nugent.
Only complaint - the lyrics are totally cliched!
"If looks could kill, I'd be dead on the floor
You got me all tied up, and beggin' for more"
and it just goes on for more drivel. But the song is pretty catchy, and it
sorta does a slow-burn. Rocks without being a real out-and-out rocker...

I got the CD last night! I LIKE IT!!!! I don't remember the title,
but track #2 ROCKS! So does "Piledriver"! There are a couple of
slower tunes that reminded me of "Crystal Ball" by STYX. Hmmmm, I
wonder why?

| I just bought the CD (mostly cuz I loved Night Ranger and
Jack Blades and thought Ted was cooz and used to listen to
Styx in Junior High). But I really like it. There are
some great licks and good vocals but mostly "stupid" rock
and roll lyrics. I don't mean that in a bad way, either.
They're just good basic rock tunes. I'd give it an 8 for
dance-ability, Dick!

After one listen, I kinda like it ... but I do have to
listen at least a couple more times.
First impressions:
Some of it's kind of slower than I expected it to be ...
I wish there were more songs like "Piledriver" on it.
The guitar work is good - who play most of the lead? I
think it's Nugent.
I've always liked Tommy's voice, so him doing most of the
lead vocals is good.

| 360.14 | Are they playing Mass this summer? | TALK::BRONSON_R | | Fri Apr 27 1990 11:14 | 12 |

The song "High Enough" has the best harmony on the tape.It's a mellow
tune,but I like it.I agree about "Piledriver".....The tape needs a few
more songs like that one.
R.B.
P.S. The tell of the tale will be..can they reproduce the same sound
in concert?Where the heck are they playing this summer.If it's within
a 4 hour drive from here I'll go!

Shaw takes the first bluesy solo in G, then it switches to Ted
when it modulates up to A.

heard so far. Got to get myself a personal copy so I can listen to it
a lot.
Nugent has always been one of my favorites. Having seen him live several
times, I'd be very interested in seeing Damn Yankees. He always had
excellent stage shows!

By the way, Greg, how about the TNT I have on CD's? You got Knights
of tape, don't ya? Didya like it?
I think Ted does do a lot of solos but he's not THE lead player. Tommy
can definitely hold his own, and he does do solos as well. You can
tell who's who, I think...
Jack Blades does more singing than Tommy, tho, I think...
Good stuff!

| Well I got to see the Damn Yankee's this past weekend. They split the
bill with Bad Co. Nugent is still the man. He's just as good as he ever
was. Just like old times. It was great. They played several song that
are on the new album, all the one's that made air play. They also
played a Styx song, Renagade. They played two Night Ranger songs I
believe, You Can Still Rock in America and Sister Soul (I think). They
also played a couple Nugent song, Cat Scratch Fever and Free for All.
As a group the Damn Yankee's are as good on stage as their CD. The end
of their show they had to drag Ted off the stage while he was still
playing, but he couldn't stand it and ran back out and kept playing for
a little longer. They played a total of 1&1/2 hrs. Personally I thought
they gave a better show than Bad Co. It was great.

Quick question. . .Damn Yankee's do that song `Higher' (or
whatever the hell the title is) right ?
Why does that song sound so much like it's done by the former
group `Kansas' ? I checked the line-up, and there's no
mention of any of the members having been in `Kansas' but it
was too close to be just coincidence. That's why I'm asking.
:^) Thanks. . .

Yes, my new band does a couple of tunes by the Damn Yankees.
We also do Heart, Vixen, Bad English, and (gasp!) Journey.
BUT - We are doing some heavier stuff like Dokken and
unlike my previous band, we do originals (applause now).
The goal is to be marketable, musical, and at least somewhat
original. Oh yeah, and profitable!!!!

to me.

they'd fade into obscurity after that first album. Even though it had
several hits, there was no identifiable sound to the band, every song
sounded different (...and yet generic).
This stuff is so lame compared to Ted's old material. Too bad he can't

were saying its on a new release called "Barcelona Gold" in honor
of the Olympic Athlete's. There were alot of well known bands doing
songs on the album also, I can't remember now who they were. I hope
this song is on the next Damn Yankee's album. A great tune!!
