What an amazing band!! Ted Nugent, Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw in the same group-WHO KNEW!!! Such a drag they only did TWO records! "Don't Tread On Me" and "Coming Of Age" are two of my favorite rockers of all time by ANYONE!
There is a third album, but the record company was sure that with grunge coming on the record wouldn't sell. Instead of releasing it, Warner Bros. offered them $1,000,000 NOT to release it. They took the money.
Talk about a reunion or even just a good ole fashioned get together and play some tunes for some of good ole loyal fans, and who really enjoy their music together, you’re right, WOW
This is nothing less than a masterpiece. I'm German but I love the United States of America. You brought peace and democracy to our country, thank you! I love that "Don't tread on me" because this sentence is what western living and democracy is all about. 🇺🇸🇩🇪
@@iansmith8263 totally agree with that 🇬🇧 Churchill was a great statesman. In my hometown were many british soldiers with their families until the withdraw in the early 90s, fine people. I like the british an irish culture... music, whisky, football, casual clothes...
@@iansmith8263 you say that like it was a collective responsability. As a Brazilian, I don't think I am responsible for the Brazil' steps against the Paraguay in the Paraguay's War...
@@paolosouza9812 Don't worry, Sam, we all know that Brazilians dont like to stand up to anything; thats why your country has been in a political mess for centuries.
31 years later this song still gets my blood coursing. This is when America was still a proud nation. Look how far we've fallen. Damn Yankees, damn shame. That was a pun not an insult to the band which I loved.
I remember one of my Navy buddies telling me they were in Norfolk for the guys coming home from Desert Storm and Ted shooting his bow through a Saddam statue on stage and everyone going crazy during this song. I remember being at Lowry AFB during the '92 Olympics in Barcelona and this song being the lead for the promo. I remember people not feeling inclined to apologize for being American. Ahh...memories.
Seen them twice... both in the Buffalo NY area... they opened for Bad Company "2" (Howe, not Rodgers) and it was Memorial Auditorium, downtown Buffalo, and they had Saddam poster or figure on back wall behind band and Ted used his bow & arrow. Other time was at Darien Lake Ampitheatre, outdoors... don't remember what happened at that one... may have been Poison or Skynyrd, outdoors.
@I Insult the prophet agreed😁but what do we expect from the milleniels/Gen z' s not smart enough to know they've been brainwashed since OBOZO repealed truth in media LAWS in his NDAA 2013.Most people don't even know over half our news is now "CREATED" by FOREIGNERS working at all MAJOR LAMESTREAM MEDIA organizations. Their goal? LOOK up Mohammed Akrams plan for N.America & letter to The "Mooselum" brtherhd.(purposely misspelled, fyi) "TO INFILTRATE MEDIA, SCHOOLS, GOV'T & DESTROY FROM WITHIN"
@@emanemanrus5835 critics put it way lower than the first album. Probably because it was still patriotic in the era of of Gulf War. I admire admire patriotism though
When this group first came out Damn Yankees I was hyped up and excited and I couldn't wait to get their CD. I had seen them four times in concert. What can I say wow did I have a blast loved it and I enjoyed seeing them play live. That was back then now here we are 2017. I think it's about time that damn Yankees got back together and start putting new music out like seriously. Back then Damn Yankees was fantastic every single song was totally amazingly awesomeness rockin' Bad to the Bone. We need more groups out there like Damn Yankees. I'm just saying and being open and honest most of the rock bands out there today or not even all that great anymore there are a few out there that are still great and still have it. Not that many bands do today. Sodium Yankees or whoever read this or sees this please get back together and do what you do best make fantastic rockin' songs and CDs your fans are still out there waiting your fans wanted your fans love you your fans still want to support you and all your fans still want new music new music videos and new tours. Long Live Damn Yankees.
Ha! Same here. The Yanks opened for Bad Co on City Island here in Harrisburg Pa. we rocked to the Yanks, left after the second song of Bad Co. The No Paul Rodgers vacuum!
Ted always says what he feels, no holds barred... .Love these guys.. my 13 year old loves them almost as much as I do, guess I did a good job raising him ;)
I saw them a few times in the 80s and they always open for Bad Company. One time when I saw him Bad Company didn’t show up these guys played for over three hours. It was the best concert ever.❤
This was back when rock music still kicking butt yet and when it was great too. Also it's the year 2021 and I'm still listening and I will always be. (( Damn Yankees )) was one of those greatest bands you just couldn't help listening to back then. Wish they were still around to this day and making music
I wish they would remaster this video and put it in widescreen. Man I'd love to have this hanging on my wall to play anytime I want. HA!!!! Oh, and Happy fucking Fourth of July 2023, let this song remind you when America cared.
I was lucky to see them in concert with bad company, it was a phenomenal event!! I was equally as lucky to see them perform at Fort Jackson South Carolina for us new recruits!! They did the show just for fun basically and for us troops !! Much respect!! Oh and by the way, it was an unbelievable show!! The music and talent was incredible!!! Such a treat !!! Long live these rock gods!!! I have loved them for years !! Ted, Tommy, Jack and Michael did bit disappoint!! Incredible MUSIC!!!!! And yes , Uncle Ted shot an arrow in to the back of a guitar, and did not miss, just an added bonus of entertainment 😁😁
This was my brothers favorite song, we would listen to it on Friday nights when we’d be getting ready to go out on the town and hang out at the local Pizza Hut/Blockbuster. I wish I could’ve stopped you from going out on January 6th, that fateful day were you lost your life on the steps of the capitol building…he was a true blooded American patriot and this was our anthem. I miss you Ronnie!
So glad your dad raised you right!! I raised my kids right as well!! I’m a southern boy, but long live those damn Yankees!! Such a powerhouse of a band !! The riffs are extreme!!!
A great stand up n shout hard rock song Jack Blades has a strong beautiful voice Tommy Shaw powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart one of the greatest guitar player n Ted Nugent a commanding voice one of the greatest guitar player in hard rock music. A great drummer that pounded the drums I love you Damn Yankees 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
A very happy 67th Birthday Jack Martin Blades. April 24, 1954 Palm Desert, CA.. Thanks for being a big part of two of my favorite bands.. Night Ranger (which I seen live in Denver) and Damn Yankees..
ted nugent and toby keith were the only performers who had the guts to come do a uso show at fallujah iraq in 2004! the uso did show all over kuwait and some southern cities in iraq, but the poor dogs in the trenches didnt get spit! so i have nothing but respect for uncle ted!
@wyomarine thete were lots of people who didn't go to Vietnam. Just because Ted didn't doesn't mean he dodged anything. I didn't join up after 9/11 and I was 18. It doesn't make me any less of a patriot.
@dmann84ng Just wanted to thank you for serving in the military, and putting ur life on the line. Glad u made it home alive. Hope we are out of there ASAP. God Bless You
See....it's songs like this that make very glad I was a teenager in the 80's. This is what we were, what things were like, the songs were great and the times were great. At the time you felt invincible, like Travis Tritt said, "Ten feet tall and bullet proof"!
Still jamming on this album in 24’! This was such a great band I can’t even explain! Just excellent American Rock n Roll!!
Boy, we should have done this along long time ago and the world wouldn't be so Fred up. I was at the concert. They blew Bad Company out of the water
F'ed up hate auto correct 😅
I saw them on this very tour as well and yes, they totally blew Bad Company off the stage.
Doesn't get any better.

Tom is dead.
Yes!
Tommy is back in Styx, I dont think it would be worth it for him to leave Styx to be back in the Damn Yankees 🔥 I wish they could both exist 😂
Damn Right🎉🎉❤
Uncle Ted is such a bad ass performer live. I was mesmerized ❤
Hey Damn Yankees its 2023 and America needs you!

Sadly,you are right.fjb
It's not about speed... it's about rhythm and pace... beautiful stuff from these guys!!!
T A L E N T +
speed can be artful and beautiful as well
and the guitar solo was weak as fucc. nothin american about that. but the song is good.

Another "underrated" comment!! Hell no they underrated if you know fuckin class A rock music when ya here it brother!!
No doubt about it, Damn Yankees were a "SUPER GROUP."
I never knew how great Ted was until you see him live , he rocks and you can see the blues influences as well
Happy Belated 70th B-day Jack Blades. You still rocking it great brother all these years later.
Millennials are looking for a new national anthem - may I present the winner !! God bless America
🇺🇸fu*k yeah 🇺🇸
Yes yes yes
Hands up and if they don’t like it, Don’t Tread On Me kiss my American
Schade, das es die Band nicht mehr gibt!😢
One of the badest, badass, kickass groups, ever. They need to tour again. On the edge of heavy metal, and very melodious.
A song that is always cranked while driving. Did years ago and still do 🤟
Just today cranked this up in my car from a long time with max vol 😎

Are you related to Mike and Brett Massey?
Ha! Same here. The Yanks opened for Bad Co on City Island here in Harrisburg Pa. we rocked to the Yanks, left after the second song of Bad Co. The No Paul Rodgers vacuum!
We need this song more than ever
Amen brother
This my new anthem!! Not national anthem, mine!!
Totally awesome!!! Live this song!
Tommy has that 1 in a million voice
❤️❤️❤️
A thousand memories of taking in his voice (Styx) came flooding back. My heart is a flutter! 🤩
Great song more people should listen to it
Always GREAT to bump into ANYONE else who hasn't become SISSIFIED! It maintains my faith that there is a future ;)
Bad-ass band! Truest super group.
Uncle Ted’s solo sends chills every day since 1991!
I love the 80's music.I saw the guys in conception in the Peoria Civic Center.Don't cross my boundaries.
Ted always says what he feels, no holds barred... .Love these guys.. my 13 year old loves them almost as much as I do, guess I did a good job raising him ;)

Short-lived band. I know they got back togetether and sang an acoustic set in '09, but WOW, did they write some good songs together.
This song’s lyrics are extremely relevant in 2021
This was back when rock music still kicking butt yet and when it was great too.

got to hand it to Michael, he didn't miss a beat hangin with those three heavyweights!
and he beat the shit out of the skins while running with the big dogs, damn nice job
Then he went on to drum for Lynyrd Skynyrd for quite awhile...Not a bad gig either I'd say :) Underrated for sure

And the one song that hit the radio was a damn POWER BALLAD?!???? Damn Yankees could have been HUGE with this song.
This song was huge. It was the official song of the US Olympic broadcast
It's fun to see a band that was so dedicated to stand up for their country. God bless America! 🇺🇸
