Y&T

[poolboydave]

Anyone ever get into Y&T? I just got done seeing the Summer Time Girls video on good ol' Metal Mania.

I really dug em back in the day.

Re: Y&T

I have never seen a metal band sing so well live...Those guys live could harmonize and sing like it was nothing...I saw them open-up for Crue once and was late to the show...From the outside of the arena, you would have sworn it was the PA playing music from a disc/tape!

And I really liked them a lot...Dave M. has a pretty unique style/tone

Re: Y&T

I love Y&T but for some reason I didn't care for them in the 80s. When I listen to their stuff today I tend to think they were probably one of the better bands to emerge from that 80s hair metal genre. Great great songs.

Re: Y&T

I've always liked 'em, even if they never were succesfull in europe. Earthshaker is an all time classic!

Re: Y&T

those guys weren't a hair metal band to start with - they were a great band before any of the 80's hair stuff ever began.

and yes, i'm a big fan.

Re: Y&T

They are an incredible band. I was listening to the live album on the way to work this morning. Meniketti has an incredible voice and a great touch on the guitar. The vocal harmonies on the live stuff will blow you away. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Re: Y&T

I remember Y&T Earthshaker on FM radio in 81' I thought at first it was Hagar, cause the voices were similar. Then when I learned it was Y&T - went out & got that cassette, was I the only one who got fooled & thought it was Sammy Hagar? I did like their early 80's.............Earthshaker,
Black Tiger, Meanstreak..........

Re: Y&T

I only got their Mean Streak cassette back in the day. Now I gotta dig that out and see if it isn't warped. LOL I really liked some of their other tunes, but never bought any other albums. Guess I should redisover them and pick some cds of theirs up next time I'm in the record store.

exactly, they were Yesterday n Today in the mid 70's.
We were doing covers of their stuff in the garage/shed
(yes, I literally had woodshed practices in my early days)
like '77, well before hair days.

I just listened to Contagious the other day, still going strong.

Re: Y&T

"Contagious" is one of my favorite albums from the 80's! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
