Dave Maniketti seems like a cool guy. The Stars song was amazing and has stood the test of time and the Hear'n'Aid effort was beyond great. Haha I had the VHS tape of it brand new back in the day....\m/

Dave Meneketti still rocks !

[@rayfabris2512]

Dave is a great person along with his singing and guitar playing.

[@rayfabris2512]

I'd love to hear Dave Meniketti work with Don Dokken on a project that would be awesome

Just look at all the different characters...gutarists..singers..what a great time to be around then...what have we now???...very sad

[@adamboynton7726]

Dave is the Elon Musk of how to keep a band alive and kicking (without the billions). My only wish is that he had a better relationship with Leonard Haze long term. When Leonard was excused from the line up, It damaged the band and Meniketti knows this weather he admits it or not. Leonard was a component of Y and T success that wasn't given it's respect.

Dave is a force of nature.

Look around on you tube. It's out there. I think on a behind the scenes video. Was really good . He dud the whole first verse. Was very good

Y&T never gets old''

[@greencaraction]

I see David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls, yet I don't see Nigel Tufnel.

[@Fritha71]

David and Nigel were having one of their famous break-ups at the time, caused by Nigel's girlfriend this time around.

IDEA: dont reveal the melody
just back track
each singer would improvise a fresh melodic verse
