Tommy and Jack were meant to sing together. Their voices are almost like one. Jack has the lower register and Tommy has the higher. This was 90s but it is really late 80s that held over in the early 90s
@@crusheverything4449 More likely they never knew. I saw DY in concert twice in 1991. I also saw, in 1988 or 1989, Tommy opened solo for Rush. Pretty sure Michael was the drummer for that, too. (But, I'm old enough to have been there, college age at the time...)
Their first album came out in 1990. I believe High Enough was the first single released. AMAZING group. I can't agree they sound 70s at all though. I saw Styx a couple of years ago when they came through town with Def Leppard and as much as I love Leppard, Styx blew them off the stage. Tommy Shaw still has his amazing voice!
You have found a video from one of the greatest 80s "super groups." Ted Nugent. Jack Blades from Night Ranger. Tommy Shaw from Styx and Mike C. (drummer.) They have another great song, High Enough. Video is a bit cheesy, but a good song.
Tommy Shaw kind of "left" Styx because he was sick of DeYoung wanting him to write songs about robots...while he just wanted to rock out. That is how this was formed.
Dennis didn’t want Tommy to write songs about robots. Dennis wrote one song about robots. Tommy quit Styx because he didn’t want to be a theatrical actor doing Broadway musicals, like on the Kilroy Was Here tour.
I saw 'Damn Yankees' open for 'Bad Company' around August of 1990. Now I'm a 'Bad Company' fan, love their music, BUT....'Damn Yankees' just freakin' blew them away!!! I left after about a third of the way into 'Bad Company's' performance!!! That's how AMAZING 'Damn Yankees' were!!! Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades(Night Ranger) had perfect harmony AND Ted Nugent can shred a guitar!!!
Tommy Shaw, (Styx) Jack Blades (Night Ranger) Ted Nugent Mike C (Currently Kiss) It was an 80s Super Group so to speak, They had 2 great albums and a 3rd was shelved when the 90s broke and grunge kicked in..
Got to love anything Uncle Ted was in!!!! I know you're getting a lot of requests but after seeing the type of music you like you might enjoy my favorite band. It has Vinnie Paul as the drummer before he passed away. Keep up the great videos!! Hellyeah- I don't care anymore(Phil Collins cover)
Just finding this and I’m glad! Damn Yankees is called a super group although they only made two albums. This is probably one of their better songs but they have a few other good songs too.
Gotta love the '90s. Jack blades was a part of night ranger. Two other songs of this group: Silence is Broken and Where You Going Now. You will love them. Also Tommy Shaw and Jack blades did some albums under Shaw/Blades in the mid late 90s and play together recently on occasion
Genuinely didn't think ANYBODY knew this song lol But turns out couple ppl Lol this songs phenomenal Will be one of my favs till I die This from a 34 yo Ronnie James Dio lover totally diff worlds
I'm shocked how many reactors talk about Tommy Shaw, but never mention Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and Ted Nugent (The Motor City Madman himself) and Michael Carteleone...THey all have had big careers, and yet everybody just mentions Tommy.
Tommy Shaw's (Styx) voice and acoustic guitar w. Jack Blades (Night Ranger) harmonizing pulls u in and mesmerizes. ..then buckle down Uncle Ted (Ted Nugent) takes u there.
Most definitely. Late 90's Nugent was deafening in an outdoor amphithreatre and we were not even seated (standing) anywhere near the stage and system. The legitimately Loudest concert I have ever been to to this day. (AC/DC, Starset, and Avenged Sevenfold being various others in the running, for me)
Damn Yankees are comprised of Tommy Shaw of Styx, Jack blades of night ranger, Ted Nugent, who is known as the motor City madman, and Michael Carteleone(sic) , who later join Lynyrd Skynyrd
Nugent was looking for a new band and Shaw got sent there during legal rangles with styx. Then some how Blades became involved as Night Ranger was on hiatus and Shaw pulled in the drummer, Michael Cartellone from his side band and boom! Damn Yankees was born. Now ur caught up.
Styx is a 70s band and Nugent started in the late 60s with The Amboy Dukes. Night Ranger is an 80s band, though. Also, they didn’t “reunite” to form Damn Yankees. How the F do you reunite to form a new band?
@@crusheverything4449 Nobidy's ever heard of the Amboy Dukes. These artists were most popular in the '80s, including Styx. Maybe "reunite" wasn't the best word, though. Maybe I should've said "re-formed."
@@TheLightSideReactions - Styx and Nugent are both known as 70s artists, so your 80s insistence is simply incorrect. Nugent all but fell off the map in the early 80s, until Damn Yankees’ debut in ‘89. Styx put out like ten albums in the 70s and only two in the 80s, one of which caused them to break up. Night Ranger is an 80s band, that’s clear. Styx and Nugent are 70s artists, however, although Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes have a bonafide classic in “Journey to the Center of the Mind” from 1968 and people definitely know it. Maybe you’re just too young.
@@crusheverything4449 Maybe you're right that I am too young. I was born in '73 and remember these artists, including Nugent, from the late '70s through the '80s. I'm struggling to find the appropriate term to indicate that the members of Damn Yankees -- who had previously been members of different great bands and/or solo artists -- joined together to form a new supergroup. "Join," "form," and similar verbs seem inadequate in the attempt to describe their coming together. Perhaps somebody can suggest a verb that accurately describes the forming of a new group from the remnants of multiple past groups?
Tommy sang lead on many Styx songs, man. Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself, Crystal Ball, Man In The Wilderness, Boat On The River, Lights, Sing For The Day, Too Much Time On My Hands, Love In The Midnight, Mademoiselle, Shooz… and more.
STYX is still working. These guys got together for some fun. A great song from this album is "Dirty Dog". It's not a love song. It's about a guy that thinks he's "Too Cool for School." I'm NOT a chick but if I were Tommy could get it. 1999
If you haven't heard of or much of jethro tull , after seeing your reaction to damn yankees , I'd like to recommend a jethro tull Song called " witches oromise " . I think you'll be quite surprised. And , if you didn't know , they have a huge body of work . I sort of consider them their own genre .
Legendary!!! Have you reacted to Def Leppard yet? Pour Some Sugar on Me is fun to watch too!! And they’re still performing & just hit their 40th Anniversary this year 🥰
There were 3 lead singers in STYX. Tommy was one of them. Your Dad sounds like his music is from the 70's. Late 80's Hair metal rock. Before Nirvana and the Seattle grunge scene.
Oh my God. When you talk about all the music your dad got you into it makes me feel so old :( At least I know my kids will be telling the same stories for the next decade though!
Shaw supposedly broke away from Styx and Dennis Deyoung(sp?) because he wanted to ROCK and Styx was headed into more artsy ballads and soft pop songs. He picked the right guys for sure.
I get it the 80's for me wasnt great musically either BUT....the 70's bands and 70's musicians were awesome and some bled over into the 80's. Thats definately worth hearing.
Hi. Just found you. This is 90s music. Singer from Styx and singer from Night Ranger and Ted Nugent on lead guitar. You have to watch them live! ♥️🤘♥️🤘
I have this album, it was 1990. Yeah, too bad they only put out 2 albums, but they were real good. I liked Styx, Night Ranger & Ted Nugent back in the day, so I knew I would like these guys. Mister Please is like my favorite from them :) ....and I just realized I don't think I ever saw this video :O so thanks! Looks like they spent like $500 on this video tho :P
I totally love your reactions, but you really need to expand you bands. Check out Metallica, Ozzy,Megadeth, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and of course, the greatest band ever...Motley Crue. Oh and yeah these guys have alot more cool tunes. And in case you are wondering who is playing lead guitar on this song, its the one and only Ted Nugent.
I know you posted this a long time ago. There is live versions of them out. The irony is Ted is a huge hunter, Tommy is vegan, and they make fun of the complete difference.
i hate to say this but how old are you? you definitley not in your 20 or 30s...and you just now figuring this out? really?!?!?!! REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?! damn what hole have you been hiding in for the past 30 years......you just now figured out the singer of styxx was in this band.......wow damn.....i'm in shock......styxx a classy band lol...i'm LMAO right now
Uncle Ted just crushes the guitar and Mike C. On the drums. Such a killer band.
Teds best work in my Opinion
Tommy and Jack were meant to sing together. Their voices are almost like one. Jack has the lower register and Tommy has the higher. This was 90s but it is really late 80s that held over in the early 90s
One of the best songs ever written. Love this song.
A lot of people forget that Michael Carteleone has been the drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd for 20 plus years now…
They forget or they never knew?
@@crusheverything4449 More likely they never knew. I saw DY in concert twice in 1991. I also saw, in 1988 or 1989, Tommy opened solo for Rush. Pretty sure Michael was the drummer for that, too. (But, I'm old enough to have been there, college age at the time...)
@@mavfin8720 - Yes, Michael was Tommy’s drummer back then.
Probably two of the best concerts I've ever been to i saw them twice totally awesome. Without a doubt they were a super group
Great band, great song, sick solo by Nugent.
I have watched several reaction vids of this song by different creators and she is the first to recognize that Uncle Ted is just having fun.
Their first album came out in 1990. I believe High Enough was the first single released. AMAZING group. I can't agree they sound 70s at all though. I saw Styx a couple of years ago when they came through town with Def Leppard and as much as I love Leppard, Styx blew them off the stage. Tommy Shaw still has his amazing voice!
89
The first release was Coming of Age which they first performed on David Letterman. YOu should check that out. Paul Shaeffer all over the keyboard lol.
This is my 2 year old grandsons favorite song. Of course I LOVE TOMMY SHAW AND JACK BLADES

Lol songs about robots? 😂

He just turned 69, Ted's in his 70s lol
I love this song. Takes me back to the 90s,great memories. ❤❤❤
These guys had a blast on stage. Really loved what they were doing.
Damn I feel old when you called this classic rock, I was 16 when this album came out. One of my favorite groups. Luv the reactions.
Saw them 3 times live..... amazing shows
The early 90's had some treasures SHE just confirmed it all
Got to love anything Uncle Ted was in!!!!
I know you're getting a lot of requests but after seeing the type of music you like you might enjoy my favorite band. It has Vinnie Paul as the drummer before he passed away. Keep up the great videos!!
Hellyeah- I don't care anymore(Phil Collins cover)
The “wrestling suit” is called a singlet, and they are pretty comfortable for playing drums in (I am both a wrestling coach and drummer/percussionist)
Love when Ted makes his 'scream dream' face at the end of the solo

Lol this songs phenomenal
Will be one of my favs till I die
This from a 34 yo

Not from a singing perspective! Ronnie and Tommy Shaw are two of the best rock singers ever.
I bought this when it came out. Fantastic song. Tommy Shaw from Styx and Jack Blades from Night Ranger also sang.
I'm shocked how many reactors talk about Tommy Shaw, but never mention Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and Ted Nugent (The Motor City Madman himself) and Michael Carteleone...THey all have had big careers, and yet everybody just mentions Tommy.
For me, I'm not familiar with the others or their bands. I have heard of Ted Nugent, but didn't know who he was until this music video.
@@extremelywhitegirl2543 That's Sad

Nugent had one of the loudest concerts, reported at 60k watts! Heard miles away.
Dang! 😲
Yes...that was the loudest concert on record at the time...in Kansas City
Most definitely. Late 90's Nugent was deafening in an outdoor amphithreatre and we were not even seated (standing) anywhere near the stage and system.

If you enjoy Styx you would love Boston. You will love it.

A year later and I caught your reaction video. Very nice. Liked watching your reaction to this.

Cousin Tommy .. What a talented guy
“ i’m really curious. What is this gonna sound like?” …….It’s gonna kick ass.
Early '90s Saw them twice. They were awesome.
Another band also obviously having a blast rocking out, but much more recent is 'Soulcreek' by Black Stone Cherry. Please review!!
Great song!
I’ve seen them in concert, as well as Styx and Ted Nugent:)
Your dad will know who uncle Ted is. Ted Nugget, Jack Blades, Tommy and that drummer dude.
He was the lead guitarist who also sang some songs.
You should react to "high enough" by them.
Excellent review. I like people liking damm Yankees
Welcome to the legendary Ted Nugent on lead guitar.😮 Cat scratch and Strangle hold fame .
Nugent Shreds it
The album was released on February 22. 1990
Jack Blades from Night Ranger on bass and vocals. Quite the super group.
The music , the musicians
Are great and then , tommy shaw's voice soars !
LOVE your channels username. 😊
Dennis DeYoung was the lead for Styx. Jack Blades was lead for Night Ranger.
Tommy sang lead on many Styx songs, man. Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself, Crystal Ball, Man In The Wilderness, Boat On The River, Lights, Sing For The Day, Too Much Time On My Hands, Love In The Midnight, Mademoiselle, Shooz… and more.
I saw Ted Nugent in concert in the early 80's. He started the concert by swinging in on a vine dressed in a loincloth, lol. It was a great concert.
STYX is still working. These guys got together for some fun.
A great song from this album is "Dirty Dog". It's not a love song. It's about a guy that thinks he's "Too Cool for School."
I'm NOT a chick but if I were Tommy could get it.
1999
If you haven't heard of or much of jethro tull , after seeing your reaction to damn yankees , I'd like to recommend a jethro tull
Song called " witches oromise " . I think you'll be quite surprised. And , if you didn't know , they have a huge body of work . I sort of consider them their own genre .

Yeah he's 60s and 70s. And 50s. 😊
90’s did have some good music
Great song 🤘Night ranger Styxx and Ted combine to kill it. Another great song would be Someone to Believe 👍
Oh my God. When you talk about all the music your dad got you into it makes me feel so old :(
At least I know my kids will be telling the same stories for the next decade though!
Early 90's
Shaw supposedly broke away from Styx and Dennis Deyoung(sp?) because he wanted to ROCK and Styx was headed into more artsy ballads and soft pop songs. He picked the right guys for sure.
I saw Styx about a year ago with Blue Oyster Cult. Surprisingly Styx had a better show.
Miss the lead singer is from Styx this here is 1989 though
It was recorded in 1990
TED NUGENT GUITAR GOD
I get it the 80's for me wasnt great musically either BUT....the 70's bands and 70's musicians were awesome and some bled over into the 80's. Thats definately worth hearing.
Hi. Just found you. This is 90s music. Singer from Styx and singer from Night Ranger and Ted Nugent on lead guitar. You have to watch them live! ♥️🤘♥️🤘

Look at the band members

Try another DY song where u going now,high enough,silence is broken,coming of age,don't treat on me
hilarious how she smiling and then ted nugent comes on and her face changes lol
89-96 first round.
Tommy shaw was not the lead singer for Styx.
I have to disagree with you. I took this to mean he was in a rock band a had to leave as he always did , but she new damn well he’d be back again.
Please redo this video with better audio on the song. Thanks.
You're Dad definitely knows about these guys...where do you think you came from? LOL
Interestingly enough...He's never heard of this group. He knows the members though. 🤔
Check out High Enough--another love song, and Coming of Age, great tunes.
Ted NUGENT Great guitar playing and band
damn where you been under a rock?
Lol probably. 😂
i hate to say this but how old are you? you definitley not in your 20 or 30s...and you just now figuring this out? really?!?!?!!
