+chabadoogi Today it is 100% different!!!!!!!! All radio station go 100% for ratings - PERIOD!!!!!!!! So to get higher ratings they will play a good guitar ballad, then a soft rock song - then a country ballad- so that EVERYBODY will wait their turn for a descent song!!!! They would rather have EVERYBODY listening for 30 minutes - than the entire world listening from 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! It is all about the NUMBERS - they don't give two shits about the music they are playing - RATINGS - RATINGS - RATINGS - RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+chabadoogi If that was your experience in 91, you were lucky. Here in South Australia the radio was SHIT! Even the two stations (1 local, 1 national) that did sometimes play metal only did it occasionally, and most stations were the worst kind of commercial, wimpy, yuppy, pathetic pop and regurgitated soft-cock rock travesties that you could not imagine even in your worst nightmares. In '91 I was an angry young man!!! And most of it had to do with Adelaide radio.

Best vocal harmony recorded in the 1980s. Tommy and Jack nailed this one to the wall. And the strings were a brilliant addition. One of Ted’s best solos ever…this is a top tier power ballad.
How is Tommy 70 now? He looks so good at his age. I just saw a video of him on Tik Tok and am amazed at how young he still looks. He was my favorite. 😊
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved! (Romans 10:9-13))
@Mr.Lightshine I am a Christian and a very strong believer. I see the goodness in everyone that they are capable of. That's why it is important to share the gospel of Christ Jesus. This world is coming to its end and Lucifer is taking our children, but in the name of Jesus he will not have mine. They have not only been saved and baptized, but believe it to be true!
@@The_Not_So_Great_Cornholio No I did not realize that (I'm not joking I really didn't know that). Thanks for ruining my illusion. (just kidding) heh heh
I was working as a busboy at a restaurant when this song came out could not wait till they played on the jukebox would belt this song out everytime loved entertaining my customers thank you for a great song from a great year❤
Can you say "Super Group" ?!!!! Just doesn't get any better than this !! Rock and Roll at it's Finest !!" Damn Yankees ". Damn...Right... Mr Dilly.. Approved !!👍🎸😎❤️🤟
This came on my Spotify and I fell in love within the first 30 seconds. Told my mom and found out it was her favorite song when she was my age, and that she’d “blast it on the radio anytime it came on”. Finally, a song she can’t get mad at me for blaring.
@@scottmiller715 LOL I'm almost 40 and on a kick for this type of music lately. There are some more popular songs I remember and love (Mr. Big- To Be With You has always been a fave). Ironically most of the songs I remember from commercials for rock ballad compilation CD's from decades ago. This song was one of those. Same with 'Headed For a Heartbreak' by Winger, 'When I See You Smile' by Bad English, etc I heard excerpts from the songs in a commercial a handful of times 30 years ago and they resonated with me so much that one day the memory came to me and I found them .😂😂😭😭 Any recommendations?
54 years old and still rock to the 80s my sons who are in there early 20s love this music too!! There friends just are learning how great the music was back then!
This song has got to be one of my all-time favorites, if not my very favorite song! Every since my cousin introduced me & my sisters to MTV, I remember the first time I saw this music video, I was instantly hooked. I never get enough of it
there has always been something about the harmonies in this song that makes my heart HURT so bad- it makes me cry every time and just fills me with so much intense, inexplicable emotion
It's a shame there will never be music made like this again. If it wasn't for videos and cover bands the music would fade away. What a shame! This is some of the best rock music ever!
One of my greatest memories of this masterpiece is singing this with my dad in the car driving in the middle of a snow storm on Christmas Eve! Those are the moments I live for.
I'm away from my dad rn because I'm studying abroad, and listening to this song brings me back to nights when he would pick me from my volleyball practices and we would listen to this and other old songs on the way home, love you dad, hope we can listen to this in the car again in the future
I remember when this came out in 1990. Starting my senior year of high school. I like it just as much now as back then. Played the death out of my CD of this. This song really should have hit number one on the charts, it is that good. Strange to think how much time has gone by since then, seems like yesterday in a way.
Did anyone else get chocked up; when they sang " Yesterday's Just a Memory " thinking about how long ago it was; when this came out. Who I dreamed about back then. Who I shared 1 night with; then never saw again. Your smile & kiss becomes just a whisper in time. Your parents house isn't even there anymore.
Consider a rock song that is so good that not only does it have an incredible melody it also has lyrics about the existential struggle of humans versus mistakes of our past and guilt. A masterpiece.
I'm 67years old...had to buy this CD when I first heard this on the radio. Hearing it again takes me back to a time when we worked hard, played hard, and listened to some of the best music ever made 🙃
I remember when rock radio announced in 1989 that the guys making up Damn Yankees were collectively coming together to start up this new "super group". I knew before even hearing their first hit that it was going to be epic just based on how much I liked the work of all the individual members from their previous bands. Well, the results wildly exceeded my expectations and the rest is rock history for us to still enjoy today!
Im not a rocker but I love the harmony these guys hit in this song on the chorus. I heard it in the grocery store and decided to look it up. Im glad good music still lives on TH-cam.
This just make you realize that you really dont appreciate these songs so much in the moment but later on they rock your world and take you back to really great times,maybe not everybody but as for me this is great music and great times.
UM, I WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK IN TIME!!!!! These guys, along with so many others, are REAL MUSICIANS!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS, PLUS WARRANT, DEF LEPPARD, SEBASTIAN BACH..... ........ THERE'S TOO MANY TO MENTION!!!!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank God I was born in 89 and got to fully experience the entire 90s it was truly a special decade to be a kid. I really do feel sorry for my children that they have to grow up in a truly evil world nowadays. It kinda makes me feel guilty in a way
yea they were just different shit.. boys shouldn't have long hair, young people listen to the devil's music, slang is so offensive...etc each generation has the shit they are offended by....but I did like it better when you couldn't be proud you were a racist! now its even tolerated when our president does it...smh
Now days the music isn't nearly as good and people are offended by everything. Well except for the crap they try and call music these days it seems. So few good bands out there now days. Definitely miss the eighties
So many of us love 80s music, the ballads the amazing solos and incredible voices like this song proves. Why can’t new bands adopt this style of music. I know theirs a huge audience for it. I don’t get 90% of today’s music blows!!!
Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw were made to sing together. Pure harmony
You have to listen to Jack in Night Ranger if you haven’t already. Wow, sister Christian is amazing.
Ted Nugent is pretty awesome too!
Styx Ranger
I do know Damn Yankees made a 2nd album but I don’t recall the album being as big as the first one probably by then grunge rock was now king and I was into grunge at 11.
Indeed !
I can't believe this song is 35 years old! I hate getting old! Seems like yesterday.
Getting old sucks! But we can live in the music.
I get all emotional hearing this. Love Tommy Shaw, Styx and Damn Yankees. Where has the time gone? The 80's were my time, I miss it so much.

van halen
to be fair bands were playing other peoples songs and electronic music was around way before this song came out
lol (no sh*t)
Best rock harmonies ever. Tommy Shaw,
2024 if you're listening, you're legendary.
1982
i'm legen, wait for it..... dary :)
Not legendary, just a fan of good music. The fact that this song was my 11th grade... well, nostalgia isn't a bad thing
Me😊
No just old
One of the most underrated songs ever
Tommy Shaw has one of the most incredible voices
dana trepanier he sure does he's my crush
Words can't describe how great this song is 👍👍👍💯%
I agree!
the best
Makes me forget life for a couple minutes. We need this music back.
Could you expect any less from the original super-group?
So True ❤️
We're all here for this kind of music, it rocks!!!!
Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades were one of best vocal pairings of the early 90's. Awesome!
That vocal harmony is amazing
Jesus, I almost forgot that bands had singers who could sing.
Steel Heart Never gonna let you go (angel eyes)
At a time when bands put the effort in to perform a song!
I always liked Lou Gramm from Foreigner.
Never heard of this group before,
What a fantastic song with insane vocals and great 80s vibe
Brilliant
Thank you "Damn Yankees" for the music and memories.
Man, these harmonies...
Thats tommy shaw
I miss harmoniesQ!
The way their voices fit together is just so foreign to what we hear now, god tier.
Me! A soon to be 77 year old sassy, sexy grandmother! I love Damn Yankees and this is my favorite song!! I love big hair bands and music!!
Good looking men with long hair
Best power ballad of that decade. Beautiful melody and memories. Ted Nugent is a trip in this video
Gum chewing!
Those sunglasses 😂
Nuge the wackmaster.
Vertical guitar position throughout....chest out for the ladies...dodging bullets....the daddy of guitar solos
there has always been something about the harmonies in this song that makes my heart HURT so bad- it makes me cry every time and just fills me with so much intense, inexplicable emotion
It's a shame there will never be music made like this again. If it wasn't for videos and cover bands the music would fade away. What a shame! This is some of the best rock music ever!
Rock on!
There can be music like this again but musicians have to make it
@@kevinfilbin7688 right? We don’t know what the future holds! :)
Never say never. What we used to say back then after watching it happen all over again.
Football coach taking another shower! Cya.
I don't want to hear about it.
One of my greatest memories of this masterpiece is singing this with my dad in the car driving in the middle of a snow storm on Christmas Eve! Those are the moments I live for.
I'm away from my dad rn because I'm studying abroad, and listening to this song brings me back to nights when he would pick me from my volleyball practices and we would listen to this and other old songs on the way home, love you dad, hope we can listen to this in the car again in the future
I remember when this came out in 1990. Starting my senior year of high school. I like it just as much now as back then. Played the death out of my CD of this. This song really should have hit number one on the charts, it is that good. Strange to think how much time has gone by since then, seems like yesterday in a way.
I was around halfway through my first year of high school as a freshman that year when this song came out.
Shaw is highly underrated as a rock singer. His voice is still as good as it is here in the video.
Saw Styx in 76 which was the first tour with Tommy and they absolutely blew us away, still to this day in the top few of all the concerts I have seen.
The guitar riffs along with musical talent makes this amazing.
Did anyone else get chocked up; when they sang
" Yesterday's Just a Memory "
thinking about how long ago it was; when this came out.
Who I dreamed about back then. Who I shared 1 night with; then never saw again.
Your smile & kiss becomes just a whisper in time.
Your parents house isn't even there anymore.
"Chocked??" ... Idiot.
One of THE BEST rock ballads ever!! The motor city mad man is awesome.
I am 48 and still remember going to my high school dances and dancing with my GF to this song
nothing compares to the smile I get listing to this
Consider a rock song that is so good that not only does it have an incredible melody it also has lyrics about the existential struggle of humans versus mistakes of our past and guilt. A masterpiece.
💯 Absolutely.
This song Is a masterpiece!!
So lucky and glad to live during the time when this song came out.
CBDM777 I wasn’t, be grateful
When Nuge busts through the door with a ripping solo in full zebra, that’s the moment right there...
Hell yeah. Thats the money shot. Gum chewing and all!
Right
He's one cool MoFo 😎!
Deflecting bullets with the Solo! :)
I just wish the guitar would be the only thing he would bust through with 🙄
Uncle Teds intro says : Fellas im here to rock this sh!t out...lol...Dam Yankees rule
That little eye-widening Ted gives at the end. Epic.
Who's listening in quarantine? (April 2020) Ahh what a memories.
Edit. Thanks for the likes (May 27th 2020) Rock n' Roll forever my friends 🤘🏻
Daimler Vanegas I am
Daimler Vanegas yes
Always
Forever❤🎸
Unfortunately. ..stay safe everyone, from an American expat in Cambodia.
I don’t care what damn year it is ... this song ROCKS ASS!!!
we sound like our parents ha ha
Fantastic harmonies... love!!! ❤
Tommy and Jack's harmonizing....it's delicious!!
I'm 67years old...had to buy this CD when I first heard this on the radio. Hearing it again takes me back to a time when we worked hard, played hard, and listened to some of the best music ever made 🙃
I remember when rock radio announced in 1989 that the guys making up Damn Yankees were collectively coming together to start up this new "super group".
I knew before even hearing their first hit that it was going to be epic just based on how much I liked the work of all the individual members from their previous bands. Well, the results wildly exceeded my expectations and the rest is rock history for us to still enjoy today!
Im not a rocker but I love the harmony these guys hit in this song on the chorus. I heard it in the grocery store and decided to look it up. Im glad good music still lives on TH-cam.
This song literally touches my heart.
This just make you realize that you really dont appreciate these songs so much in the moment but later on they rock your world and take you back to really great times,maybe not everybody but as for me this is great music and great times.
I don't know wether to laugh or cry, that this is a masterpiece compared to music these days. What went wrong?
I so agree.
EVERYTHING!
Leftists happened when they shut out white males from the entertainment biz
Just a sign of aging, no worries.
The love of life. Got STUIPED.
VIDEO screams 80's. SONG screams timeless.
Does anyone have a time machine ?? I wanna go back
Being an 80s Jersey girl was magical. I miss those days.
"I wanna go back" That's a good Eddie Money tune I would love to go back too
UM, I WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK IN TIME!!!!! These guys, along with so many others, are REAL MUSICIANS!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS, PLUS WARRANT, DEF LEPPARD, SEBASTIAN BACH.....
........ THERE'S TOO MANY TO MENTION!!!!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
momfrom NJ::::Suppose to be unveiled in 2028 I believe.
I want to go back also.
Thank God I was born in 89 and got to fully experience the entire 90s it was truly a special decade to be a kid. I really do feel sorry for my children that they have to grow up in a truly evil world nowadays. It kinda makes me feel guilty in a way
i still have my cassette tape of this album... and its still working , i still have a cassette deck player
Tommy Shaw, oh my. I saw him all three solo tours, then Damned Yankees, and twice with Styx. I love Tommy Shaw.
Still listening in 2019, still some of the best music ever made, who's with me?
June 13 2019
No
June 26th 2019
MICAH THOMPSON::::ALL THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY M.T. ! THINK IT WOULD MAKE THE "PERFECT" SONG FOR TOP GUN 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@darktrooper2099 Hell yeah!
The 80s were a great time weren't they? The parties, great music and people weren't offended by everything!
Exactly.
yea they were just different shit.. boys shouldn't have long hair, young people listen to the devil's music, slang is so offensive...etc each generation has the shit they are offended by....but I did like it better when you couldn't be proud you were a racist! now its even tolerated when our president does it...smh
Amen to that
Exactamente
Now days the music isn't nearly as good and people are offended by everything. Well except for the crap they try and call music these days it seems. So few good bands out there now days. Definitely miss the eighties
So many of us love 80s music, the ballads the amazing solos and incredible voices like this song proves. Why can’t new bands adopt this style of music. I know theirs a huge audience for it. I don’t get 90% of today’s music blows!!!
I grew up in the 70's & 80's listening to this good rock music. Damn Yankees & Styx have always been my favorite bands. Ted has ALWAYS been favorite!!
bit of a power band/super group these guys were
