They were a supergroup. Tommy Shaw, Ted Nugent, Jack Blades and Michael Cartellone, who was the least known member of the band, at that time.

They were a supergroup in every sense of the word.

Ted has always been a killer guitar player but he is one of the few that really did evolve and get even better has he got older. His playing in Damn Yankees was top notch.

There isn't a bad song on their albums, great choice!

This was what was known as a super group. Guys famous from other bands getting together. Sometimes it works like here, sometimes it doesn’t.

Tommy Shaw lead singer & lead guitarist from Styx, Jack Blades lead singer and bassist from Night Ranger, Michael Cartellone relatively unknown when he got with Damn Yankees, but became a long-time drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd after his time with the Yanks, and the Motorcity Madman himself, Terrible Ted Nugent, one of rock's all-time great, still surviving guitarist that needs no introduction anywhere in the free world. Now that's a damn power band!!

They are what you call a super band Ted Nugent,Tommy Shaw from Styx and Jack Blade from Night Ranger

I'm a southern boy through and through, but I love me some Damn Yankees!

These boys are one of many supergroups in rock. Tommy from Styx, Jack and the drummer from Night Ranger, and Tedator the Predator. Awesome album. Crack a beer, get a slice of pie and enjoy.

One of the best Power Groups ever to assemble during the ‘80’s

Huge harmonizing vocals from Jack Blades(Night Ranger) and Tommy Shaw(Styx)! And killer guitar from "The Great Gonzo" Uncle Ted Nugent!

Tommy Shaw is one of the best singers / entertainers in all of rock. Jack Blades and Nugent are awesome in their own right.

The Damn Yankees were one of the last great supergroups to come out of the 80's, along with such bands as Bad English and Asia. Sadly, they only lasted a few years, but the music they left behind is simply incredible. Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades were meant to sing together...they would record another album together as Shaw/Blades after the Damn Yankees had run their course. You should DEFINITELY check out more of their music.

Got to see them in concert at Veterans Auditorium, Des Moines Iowa. What a night of rock and roll. Still can't believe they've never had a reunion tour. They freaking rock

Check his Stranglehold The bassist with the "beautiful" head of hair is Jack Blades from Night Ranger. Check out "Sister Christian" and "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" And I gotta give some love to a fellow drummer: Michael Cartellone, played with Lynrd Skynard and alot of other talented dude - Peter Framton, Vince Neil (Motley Crue), John Wetton of the super group Asia. Shaw and Blades die a couple albums together too - alot of great acoustic guitar blending rock, rhythm & blues, and country sound to it. You made my day, brother!!!
