    Anyone remember a band from the 80's called Y&T

    So I was listening to the Launchcast Hair Flair station today, and this song comes on which I've heard before. I've never paid too much attention to it before since I thought it was Sammy Hagar, but I happened to look at the artist and song title and was surprised to see that it was a band called Y&T, and the song was "Summertime Girls". Now take a listen to this and tell me this guy doesn't sound like Hagar (poor guy)!

      You know what's really funny? That almost looks like Van Halen at the very first of the video...looks like Michael Anthony on the far left in the yellow shirt, Eddie on the far right, Dave second from the right, and Alex second from the left!

                  He does sound a bit like Hagar, but Sam's voice is more female, coupled with a nervous vibrato.

                  Could be better, though. Less synth, for example...

                      Y & T are a good band. Dave Meneketti is a great guitar player and not a bad singer. Summertime Girls is their most "pop" song when they were trying to get MTV time. Listen to Black Tiger or Mean Streak. Good stuff.

                      Don't Stop Runnin' is a good song too.

                              The audio & video don't even come close to synching up on the vid, but you can hear the song.

                              Don't Stop Runnin'

                                      I love Y&T. They were one of the first bands I ever saw live. Saw them with Motley Crue on Theater of Pain. Down for the Count was a good album. Don't Stop Runnin is probably my fave from them. Good find bro. I started listening to them again a few months ago. Good stuff.

                                          Their earlier stuff is pretty decent, not everything they did was cheesy by any means...

                                                  The only song I remember was "Summertime Girls". I always wondered if they named the band after the Beatles "Yesterday & Tomorrow".

                                                      Summertime girls was there reach out to the masses period.

                                                      Y&T have some kickass stuff.

                                                          Did you know....

                                                          Roth's solo band drummer Jimmy DeGrasso was the drummer in Y&T for many years.

                                                          Check out the Y&T live record. One of the best live albums ever. Meniketti and Stef Burns rip on guitar and Jimmys drumming is amazing.

                                                          You will not be dissappointed. They still tour quite a bit with a new line up. FOunders Dave and Phil are still there though.
