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.

If you aren't able to maintain that level of relevance, it seems returning to the 'fold' is a common option.

You can see Ted defiantly chewing gum throughout this video because the director didn't want him to.

"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.

FINALLYYYYYYYYY

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great reaction. The first time I heard this song, I thought the backup vocalist was Rick Emmett of Triumph. These songs are classic, thanks for keeping them alive.

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

Band: Buckcherry "Lit Up" / Band: john cafferty & the beaver brown band "On the Dark Side" this is also in a movie called Eddie & The Cruisers 1 & 2.

Love them... saw them in concert along with Bad Company and they all rock!!

This is a great song! This was a rock supergroup! Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades from Night Ranger ( Sister Christian) and Ted Nuggent who is one of the craziest and greatest and way underrated guitarist!

@@billcobb6447 they knew Tommy and said he was from Styx but they don’t know that Jack Blades is from NR!!

Takes me back to Senior year of HS. God Bless the Power Ballads! You guys should take a look at Nelson's "Love and Affection "

Oh I totally agree with you! I LOVED Damn Yankees and Nelson too! PLEASE react to Nelson which can take them to Ricky if they haven't already discovered him! Great suggestion!

I loved them! FYI (to those who don’t know) the Nelson brothers are the sons of Ricky Nelson, grandsons to Ozzie and Harriet, and brothers to Tracey Nelson (an actress).

Where i live they used to have a chili cook off every year and there was always a big headliner group playing. One year a helicopter lands in the area behind the stage. About 30 mins later Jack Blades & Tommy Shaw come out and play an acoustic set consisting of Night Ranger , Styx and Damn Yankees songs. Was about an hour set then they got back on the helicopter & away they went. Was one of the best shows i'd ever seen at those cook offs.

Ya this was a group that we were all left wanting MORE more more!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

It reminded me of how much I've aged, watching young people react to a song from the 90s. I was born in 1971 in Brazil, so in 1990 I was the perfect age to live this music. 😁 I love to listen over and over again.💛💚

Uncle Ted on the guitar solo is fire! I’m glad that y’all got around to this one.

The Motor City Madman Uncle Ted laying down the riffs!!Can never go wrong with the Damn Yankees.Brings back a lot of memories.🙏🏻🙏🏻

So glad you reacted to my favorite super group! Next up is “Come Again”, my favorite by those Damn Yankees!

When my group of friends and I left the concert we walked 3 miles back to my best friend's home the only thing we talked about the whole way home was Tony Shaw's guitar what a great guitarist

THEY HAD THE TIME TO WORK TOGETHER ....ALL HAD HUGE RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER .......AND THEY TOOK US HIGH ENOUGH ......

You've pretty much reacted to these guys before, only in different configurations. Ted Nugent killing it on guitar, Tommy Shaw from Styx and Jack Blades from Night Ranger. Michael Cartellone is the more recent drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Great song. Ted Nugent on lead guitar and can still rock it. Great band.

The harmony ❤️❤️❤️

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.
