Free Music Notes for Don't Tread
Free Music Review: WHERE ARE THESE GUYS????
Hit: 5 Stars
All of these guys are killer players. Together, they rocked and sang their nuts off. Great songs, great guitars, great drums, great hooks = Great sales.
So WHY did the IDIOTS AT WARNER BROS. MISMANAGE THIS BAND SO BAD, CAUSING THE BAND TO SPLIT AND LEAVE A THIRD ALBUM IN THE CAN???? Seriously stupid move on their part. Yeah, the same company that gives us music virtuoso's like "Snoop frickin Dog" and "Ashlee Simpson" chose to let one of the great R O C K acts slip out of their fingers. STUPID F**KING IDIOTS! Wake the he** up Warner!
This album and their debut sold a buttload of CDs and both of these still stand up to ANYTHING out today. Grunge may have scared the crap out of every record company suckup during the time of the Damn Yankees, but where is grunge now??? Also VH1 pans this band as 'lightweight'. Give me a break! You think it's light weight? Put on 'Uprising', 'This Side of Hell', 'Don't Tread, or '15 Minutes of Fame'. Hardly light weight. Stupid public just thinks "Oh Tommy Shaw's in there so it must be "Babe" " Niggah Please!!!
While I'm a huge Styx fan and Night Ranger was a great band too, THIS BAND was the SH*T. These records blow away their former bands. And Micheal Cartelone- nobody ever mentions him. ONE KICK A$$ drummer!
BUY THIS AND THE DEBUT. If you like to rock, you'll love these cds.
Free Music Review: Don't Neglect
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't Tread released in 1992 is the great sophomore effort by Damn Yankees who are made up of tough-guy superstars such as Jack Blades of Night Ranger, Tommy Shaw of Styx and Ted Nugent rock-n-roll beast icon.
It is as damn as their debut album in 1990 and one of my all time bests as well. Damn Yankees as a whole is predominantly
Night Ranger minus keyboard,partly Survivor partly Styx with extra damnness.
My first pick is Where Are You Going Now, first single from this album. It is as if popped out from Survivor's Vital Signs(boy it is also produced by Ron Nevison). And Silence Is Broken, Zep&Purple styled Mister Please. Rockers such as Fifteen Minutes of Fame, mid-tempo tracks such as Dirty Dog, Someone to Believe
are fine as well.
Why such great album has been treated so damn bad by classic rock market?
Note: Michael Cartellone who looked obscure and fresh guy among the gang of four found his place as an ACCEPT drummer just before the band broke up. Also known as a drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd tours
Verdict: Well-done second effort
Rating: 92 out of 100
Recommended for: Night Ranger, Tommy Shaw and Survivor fans and wide range of 80s and 90s hard/pop rock fans.
Free Music Review: A Great Follow Up CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent, and Michael Cartelone are back with a vengance on this hard-driving follow-up to their highly successful debut cd. Shaw and Nugent both play lead guitar on this disc, which gives every song a definitive sound. Blades' bass and Cartelone's drums combine to make the sound that much better.
From the opeing title song, along with such others as "Where You Goin Now" and "The Silence is Broken", the listener is treated to a brand of high energy rock and roll. Shaw sings lead on both "Where You Goin Now" and "The Silence is Broken". He proves his versatility by being able to sing ballads as well as the great rock songs he was famous for while with Styx.
Its too bad that Damn Yankees only produced two cds. I'm a fan of great rock and roll, and they were definitely one of the best bands of the early 90s. I highly recommend this disc, as well as their self-titled one. The songs are first-rate, and the vocals and insturmentals will keep you coming back for more. Buy this great cd and hear some really great rock and roll at its absolute best.
Free Music Review: Damn Yankees Hit A Second Grand Slam
Hit: 5 Stars
With DON'T TREAD, Damn Yankees step up to the plate again. And yes! Another grand slam. The vocal-songwriting team of guitarist-singer Tommy Shaw and bassist-singer Jack Blades, along with guitarist Ted Nugent and drummer Michael Cartellone, create another slab of fire-breathing rock & roll, once again blending the metal of Night Ranger and solo Nugent, the Southern rock of the Allman Brothers Band, the Outlaws, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the straight-ahead Detroit blues-rock of Grand Funk, and a touch of Styx's progressive pop-rock into a unique hard rock & roll sound that holds up better than anything by Ratt, Poison, or Motley Crue. The fact that Nugent, Blades, and Shaw supported the right of the police to use deadly force to rescue two girls kidnapped in California in 2002 makes this CD and its predecessor essential purchases for both your ears AND your conscience.Free Music Review: jeremy holloway
