A true supergroup. Tommy Shaw (Styx), Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Ted Nugent, and Michael Cartellone (who would later join Lynyrd Skynyrd). They had a string of hits in the early 90s, and this one was by far the biggest. Others to check out are "Where You Goin' Now", "Don't Tread on Me", "Mister Please", "Coming of Age," and "Come Again". Thanks for reacting!

While there were several 'super groups', they never stay together for long so I always viewed them as project bands. When I learned Tommy Shaw returned to Styx I was a bit surprised, but shouldn't have been when one thinks about it. If you aren't able to maintain that level of relevance, it seems returning to the 'fold' is a common option.

Quite possibly the best guitar solo Ted has ever written on any Damn Yankees track. He literally goes all in with every guitar trick known at that time (hammer-on/pull offs, harmonic whammy bar dive bombs, legato runs, 2 handed finger tapping and more). Knowing Ted's music for years up til that point, I never knew he could play a guitar like THAT. He blew me away when I first heard this in 1990.

"High Enough" is a song by American supergroup Damn Yankees from their self titled debut album. Nugent once also explained that he coined the name because whenever someone asked him how he and Tommy Shaw would sound playing together, he would always reply by saying they would sound like “a bunch of damn Yankees." A power ballad, it is their most successful single in terms of chart position and sales, rising to No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, the group's first (and only) top-ten pop single. It also reached No. 2 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The success of "High Enough" helped send its parent album into the top 20 on the US albums chart.

Us fans keep hoping for another album but they can’t seem to work it with all of their schedules. Most of them are still active with other musical projects but I hope they do make one more album.

Also, he and Kelly work so well together on my favorite Night Ranger song “When You Close Your Eyes”.

@matthewvade6553 Жыл бұрын

My favorite supergroup of all time. They only made two albums, but there is not a weak track on either of them. Much like how Tommy Shaw didn't sing lead on all of Styx's music, Jack Blades split lead vocal duties with his band Night Ranger. And for that matter, Ted Nugent also split time on vocal duties with his music. So this band had three lead singers, who were all used to sharing the vocal duties and they did so here as well, although you never heard Ted sing lead on any of their radio tracks. Too bad as "Piledriver" really rocks. When you said you expected a band called Damn Yankees to be more rock, you didn't know how right you were. You just picked one of the two softest songs they released. Most of their albums rock, very hard in some places. I'd definitely recommend "Don't Tread on Me" to see what they're really all about. Or if you want to checkout another song that has a slow build up before kicking it up a notch, check out "Come Again." It may have the best guitar solo that Ted did in any of the Damn Yankees tracks. Actually, I just watched the "Don't Tread on Me" video again. Definitely go with that one!

This comment right here. 100%. Jack Blades was just as much a lead vocalist as Tommy Shaw. You may have even covered Night Ranger in one of your episodes (?)….if not, add Sister Christian to the suggestion list! Many of the super groups (or just bands with multiple singers, like Chicago for example) didn’t have *one* lead vocalist….they had several. Styx also didn’t just have one lead vocalist, they had two (though I personally preferred Tommy’s singing to Dennis DeYoung). And you’re right….Ted Nugent, while talented, is a VERY decisive personality, lol.

And Jack Blades is from Night Ranger, and is the co-lead with Kelly Keagy. You recently reacted to "Sister Christian" (Keagy was the lead on that song). And then they formed a supergroup Damn Yankees, where they are co-lead singers in that band as well. I love the comment "I thought we were getting some rock" when it first started.

You have to do "Come Again". That song has one of the best guitar solos ever. Yes, Nugent is a lunatic, but he's a great guitarist. I can't stand him personally, but I won't deny he's super talented.

Their entire debut album is fantastic!! You'll love every song, but for your next one, check out Come Again. Then you've got Coming of age, Bad Reputation, Runaway, Damn Yankees, Piledriver.

Finally! :D Damn Yankees have so many good songs for a group that didn't get to release many albums. (I think I heard back in the day it was because touring and recording interfered with Ted Nugent's hunting season stuff, but I have no idea if this is true.) Definitely check out "Coming of Age", "Where You Goin' Now?", "Silence is Broken", and "Come Again". You can't miss with this band. :D

Damn Yankees only lasted for a couple of years before they broke up. Their song "Come Again" has excellent guitar work by Nugent. STYX will occasionally play a Damn Yankees song in concert because of Tommy Shaw

Damn Yankees came out on the tail end of the Hair Band era and they knocked it outta the park. Warrant and Skid Row were a couple of other hair bands towards the end of what was one of the best years of rock.

❤ this song but my favorites off this album were “Coming of Age”, “Mystified”, “Tell Me How You Want It” and “Come Again”. Pretty much enjoyed this whole album. Off of the Don’t Tread album my favorite is “Where You Goin’ Now”. Grew up listening to Styx and Night Ranger which is my favorite band so when I heard about Damn Yankees forming I knew I would be on board for it.

When I graduated from high school in 1993, one of my step-brothers surprised me with tickets to see Poison (Native Tongue tour) with Damn Yankees and Firehouse opening...2nd row center! I still have a guitar pick from the Firehouse guitarist I caught. The concert was amazing...I was deaf for days, but so much fun...and a few young ladies thought it was a little hot for their shirts and bras right in front of me. Not a bad night for a not quite 18 year old boy. Awww...the good old days. I had (still have) CDs of all three bands, so it was great following along with their music...and I enjoy them all...but I have to say, I think I enjoyed Damn Yankees the most of the set. Poison was bigger (laser show/pyrotechnics and all), but Tommy Shaw (Styx) and Jack Blades (Night Ranger) had such great chemistry and kept kidding each other about their various songs from the other bands. Almost had an issue as Ted Nugent got into some legal trouble in the concert date before ours for shooting a flaming arrow into a guitar on stage...something about an open flame law. He did the same at ours, but no legal issues as far as I know. Anyway, great experience.

Saw them three times live and they blew the doors off the place each time. Backed up Skynyrd once Bad Co once, and had Jackyl back them on New Years Day 1992. They were a true super group to bad they only put out two albums.

Funny thing, Jack Blades is from California, Tommy is from Georgia. Not exactly Yankees. Great song. Jack was good enough of a bass player to be in on of the Ringo's All Starr Bands. High praise indeed - Ringo only hires the best.

@shawnlowrance6528 6 ай бұрын

Hey Jay and Amber!!! Actually, Jack Blades who's playing bass is singing the lead vocals and Tommy is singing backup and harmony vocals. Jack Blades was the bass player and main vocalist for the band Night Ranger! You've done one of their songs already, Sister Christian which was written and sung by the drummer Kelly Keagie.

On this song, Tommy Shaw took the higher vocals on harmony, and Jack Blade took the melody, which was a little lower. They both have magnificent voices, and they continued to sing together after Damn Yankees broke up. They sound so good together. Some of us have been waiting for this forever. Next, please also do their song Come Again. It's another real winner. Thanks for remembering to do this. Fun fact: Last and only time I saw Damn Yankees Ted Nugent jumped onstage in a leopard print onesie. I'm one of those people who loathes Ted's politics, but yes, he can definitely play up a storm.

I saw Damn Yankees in the early 90's. They opened up for Bad Company. For the record, I was/am still a huge Bad Co. fan, so they were the main reason I was going to the concert and I liked Damn Yankees,so it was a win/win for me. I wasn't expecting DY to blow me away like they did. They did a song by each (Ted, Tommy and Jack) and just put on one hell of a show culminating with Ted - The Motor City Madman - shooting a cardboard cut out of Saddam Hussein with a compound bow and a flaming arrow. (We were at war with Iraq at the time). We were so worn out cheering for Damn Yankees that were weren't able to cheer for Bad Company like we should have. And I'm talking about the whole crowd.
