This guy... A David Lee Roth copy

[VanHalenI]

Yes--- this song sounds kinda like dance the night away and come on... this guy does Dave's screams exactly like him... come on what the fuck...???

This guy:



A Jim "Dandy" Mangrum copy?



My point is everybody was influenced by someone somewhere down the line. To me "Summertime Girls" has a lot of Bon Jovi in it as well, but I like it a lot and I like Y&T a lot. I love songs Like "Mean Streak", "Contageous" and "Don't Stop Runnin". I think Y&T is an underrated band from the era.

As someone who is working as hard as I ever have on song writing at the moment this is a brilliant example of the mantra from David St Hubbins 'there is a fine line between stupid and clever'.

What's wrong with this song that makes it kind of horrendous compared to 'Dance the night away'?

It's hard to put your finger on but it is instinctively horrendous. I think it's something to do with self awareness and completely cynical formulaic manufacturing of music, people can smell it.

Sounds more like solo Sammy Hagar to me...

[Sarge]

I actually kind of like that! Wow times have changed!

Besides the screams, it does sound like Sammy. Thanks.. you made me hate it!

[ELVIS]

Make up your mind...

I just knew this would turn into a thread about this guy!! ...But you are correct sir.

[Catfish]

I don't hear DTNA at all and am offended Elvis is so familiar with Hagar's solo work.

Dave Meneketti's voice isn't nearly as shrill and he's a better guitar player than anyone Sammy ever played with not named Ed Van Halen. I don't think it's Mozart but it's a fun song, not taking itself too seriously.

R.I.P, Phil Kennemore

Y&T's radio moment...all bands were attempting this at the time.

An awesome Hard Rock band that IMO never got enough credit.

If you make video's like that......

I love Y&T with emphasis on the Contagious album. Fucking great. Seen them back in 2007 at a small club in San Diego. Rocked it like it was Shea Stadium. Great way to spend $16.

Anyways, speaking of Dave wannabe/lookalike






and then he got arrested for looking like Paul Stanley. (dude has an identity crisis) ((I wonder if his cell mate Bubba made him sing Smooth Up In Ya))

[VanHalenI]

I like the song... but what really brakes my balls is that the singer tried to make Diamond's signature scream in this song...
I don't hate this band at all... actually I realized my dad had the album Down for the count and it's actually quite cool!
