Y&T was awesome! If you got to grow up anytime in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic cars, movies, music & concerts of the greatest era in pop culture, YOU were VERY blessed!🎸
I remember attending this concert in San Francisco in 1985. The crowd that night was off the charts. I can see myself in the crowd at the 1:49 mark for about a second. The 35 years younger version. I know this entire concert was filmed for MTV. Lita Ford and Twisted Sister opened the show. I do miss the 80’s rock. Most of the rock today is unlistenable. Y&T is still on of my favorite bands still today. Dave Meniketti is so underrated. His vocals and guitar playing is top notch and he is a rare talent!!!
I was at the next show in Bakersfield. Went a Twisted Sister fan left a life long Y&T fan. Y&T absolutely BLEW TS away and they opened after Lita. I do believe they headlined the Cow Palace though because that’s the ❤of their fan base. I don’t think TS was well received heard the battery story lol
God i miss the 80s..where are my metal- heads..the hard core ones that bought every rag..each album of our favorite bands and every often a treasure is discovered and for me Y and T were definitely one of those bands that got my attention and still holds a special place in my heart.
@@andrewreed1329 hahaha yeah, I did say it....it was class for back then right? In my opinion....hot chicks in hot gear ...works every single time. Cheers Andre
I don't understand. These guys have some of the catchiest choruses ever, great infectious riffs ,they've got chops, and a sense of humour too. How come they're not huge? No justice in life indeed.
OMG, that Night Flight graphic flooded me with memories from staying up late Friday nights, back in 1983..... Man, life was just more..... fulfilling back then. Back then, we engaged in life. Today, we engage in media. Its tragic.
All in all, Y&T:s In Rock We Trust is still one of my all time favorite albums, you just have to love it till the last day. Pure class from start to finish ! Have to admit, I´like Contagious and Ten as much, that was my Y&T era.
I remember back in January 1984 I graduated early from High School. Started working for Kruger and Sons Pickle/Relish Company. Y&T practiced for this album, "In Rock We Trust." They released it in August 1984. Listened to all their songs. I literally worked next door at Kruger and Sons Pickle on Saklan Road in Hayward, CA. They played so loud we couldn't hear the person on the other end of the phone. They played in a metal thin building that looked more like a shack. At 18 years old I was too shy to go over and ask if I could sit and listen. My boss and him, the road manager, I think he was, got into an argument about the noise. I loved it. 😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂
We listen to this in the 80s. My brother in law use to take my sister and I to school in the morning! On a cassette recorded from all his albums! We heard this one every morning on his alpine stereo and booster! Pulled up in his 1979 black cutless ! All our hair teased up with hairspray! Hahahaha
I always loved them. Blues rock with great lyrics. We got to open for them once in Texas. I was walking back stage when Dave Meniketti walked past. I stopped and said "Hey your Dave Meniketti! That kicks ass!" He stopped and replied "I am Dave Meniketti. And it does kick ass!" lol he was so cool took photos with us and totally rocked the hell out of that show.
I've been kicked, I've been hit I've been scratched, I've been bit I've been pushed around, shoved around Had it rough but it ain't enough 'Cause I never knew an angel could be so wild I never felt love till I tried your style Lipstick and leather Black and red, oh yeah Lipstick and leather Rock and roll, baby Made a mess of my head I've been slapped, I've been blamed I've been attacked and I've been chained Yeah, you put me down, slapped me 'round Long enough but love is tough 'Cause you're ready, willing, able to please Somebody tell me why I'm down on my knees I said, this must be love or I'm going insane There's such a thin, thin line between pleasure and pain Lipstick and leather Black and red, oh yeah Lipstick and leather Black and red The girl gets around Red lips like a traffic light But when the girl gets down Leather love's gonna burn all night Oh, lipstick and leather Black and red, oh yeah Lipstick and leather Black and red I've been kicked, I've been hit (Lipstick and leather) I've been scratched and I've been bit You can knock me down, I'm gonna get back up (Lipstick and leather) Yeah, I had it all but it ain't enough I've been scratched (Lipstick and leather) I've been attacked and chained Driven down on my knees And I'm goin' insane Over lipstick and leather Black and red 'Cause that rock 'n' roll, baby Made a mess of my head With your lipstick and leather Black and red, oh yeah But your lipstick and leather Black and red, oh Lipstick and leather
AWESOME!!!!Seen them in '85 at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara, Ca. with Helix and Mama's Boys. Great memories, and a kick ass show!!! Love this video, and seriously diggin' the hot '80's rocker girls:)
They opened for Motley Crue on the ‘theater of pain’ tour but not all dates Loudness opened for them in Minnesota.I got to see them at a bar in Minnesota in 2016 they kicked ass for 2+ hours and sounded killer.!! Probably the most underrated band on the planet. R.I.P. Phil, Joey, and Leonard.!!🤘😎 Love me some old school Y&T.!! Fu*k yeah.!!
Unbelievable that I had never seen this video until today at age 51. That gives you an idea of how below the radar these guys were in Toronto, Canada where I grew up. Of course I knew “meanstreak” and “summer time girls” and a few others.Why they never made it to Mega stardom I couldn’t figure out. Great sound and Dave M on vocals can compete with any of the bands of the 80’s. Y and T’ s name might have had something to do with it. I’ve heard DJ s back then refer to them as “yesterday and today” others as Y and T. They were not really in regular rotation in Toronto so I’m thinking name marketing effed them in the A. F And A as it were.
i went to all the Y&T concerts back then and still goto them. back in the day they used to sell stuff other then tee shirts and i had a shield/chest plate that the robot had on. some damn kid took it....and im guessing it was one of my sons friends...lol
Shivers... my absolute favorite song.. yeah master and slaves was a really good one also... but this takes me back... when I was young (er)... Probably listened to it over 200 times...
A great song, girls in the 80s were so much more attractive Y&T is a great hard rocking band MTV was a great way for heavy metal rock bands to get noticed on head bangers ball,be nice MTV would be like that now
Now this is classic.. Man I was like 6 or 7 when I first saw this video. Yet, I still remember them till today. Incredibly lot of people that got to live the 80's as teenagers don't remember this band now days. Which I get surprised when clearly the video was very controversial by having Front man Twister Sister closing the video. Anyway Rock On! \m/ \m/
@@jackb348 I said controversial because was during the time Deen Snyder appeared in court against the PMRC & also because this specific video D. Snyder didn't get paid what was promised & sue this band which was not allowed this particular video to be aired for many years.
This is one of the best (if not the best) line up of Y&T and the label made them fire the drummer for being fat! WTF?! Y&T never caught the break they deserved, such a killer band with an amazing sound. Love them.
Although their material took a sharp decline in quality and inspiration after the Meanstreak album, I'd still rather hear this ( back in the day ) than marble-mouth Eddie Vedder moaning about how his daddy didn't give affection... LOL
Yeah no shit, and if that wasn't bad enough there were other bands who sang just like Vedder, llke Creed for instance. The only 2 note worthy bands in that whole Grunge are was Soundgarden and Alice In Chains
1970borntorun Yeah, and there is yet another band, can't think of their name, but same lame ass way of singing, I think that was about the time I quit listening to FM radio, because the un-original shit all sounded the same. I
rbagel55 I don't really immaturely blame the Seattle bands for "ruining" the hard rock scene. We did it to ourselves. In the space of only about, 6 years, we went from Ozzy/Randy, VH , Y&T, Dio, Scorpions and Pat Travers to utter GARBAGE like Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Cinderella and WASP. Is it any wonder they came and filled the void and desperate need for a new sound?

Was there

I don't know what I miss more from this era, the great music or the way ladies used to dress with class!
Amen to that. And lip gloss.
Oh hell yeah. No piercing. Just straight up woman... Wearing correct gear.
It's "Dee Snider" from "Twisted Sister"!!
@@ChrisReinheimerclass lol
@@andrewreed1329 hahaha yeah, I did say it....it was class for back then right? In my opinion....hot chicks in hot gear ...works every single time. Cheers Andre
I love this. I don't care what anyone says. This picks me up every time.
I feel that man
Yep this rocks
Y&T are very underrated.
Very very underrated! Gives me shivers!
The way we want it.
Only shit gets in the hall of shame.
I just told a friend today at work the same thing!
Very.
Nah they weren’t at the time
Most overrated line ever
Hard to believe three of these guys are gone?
Love Y & T!!! This song and Summertime Girls!!! For the 80s and still relevant today!!!🔥👍🏻🤟🏻
I don't understand. These guys have some of the catchiest choruses ever, great infectious riffs ,they've got chops, and a sense of humour too. How come they're not huge? No justice in life indeed.
Totally agree
The surprise ending with Dee Snider...👍🏻
dee toured with them during this era as TS was also hitting it big at the time, both opened for Dokken in 1984 in nashville tn, i was there XD
Remember this vividly. Great times. Sounds like KISS. Loved the 80s.
OMG, that Night Flight graphic flooded me with memories from staying up late Friday nights, back in 1983..... Man, life was just more..... fulfilling back then. Back then, we engaged in life. Today, we engage in media. Its tragic.
Agreed 100% 🎸🤘
I was just talking about this earlier to a friend.. wasnt there a song video killed the radio .. something like..
All in all, Y&T:s In Rock We Trust is still one of my all time favorite albums, you just have to love it till the last day. Pure class from start to finish ! Have to admit, I´like Contagious and Ten as much, that was my Y&T era.
I’ve listened to Y and T since I was 12, and for some reason this just hit me. They sound a lot like KISS.
Y&T If you have never listen to this band. You are missing out on some great music.
In rock we trust!!
The most hideous ending of any video EVER. Love it!! 80's FOREVER
the twisted sister singer..ahahaha
@@enricosilvestri6857 Dee Snider
Most underrated band IMO. Been a fan since I was in elementary. I saw Keep on Running video and I loved them ever since.
No
At the time they were far from under rated

again I am wailing this. so many good memories associated with this for me. I will never let this go.
Y&T rocks just like the 80's
I got a drumstick from Leonard Haze when they played in Manteca Ca at the Oakwood Lake waterslides in 1986.
We listen to this in the 80s.
My brother in law use to take my sister and I to school in the morning!
On a cassette recorded from all his albums! We heard this one every morning on his alpine stereo and booster! Pulled up in his 1979 black cutless ! All our hair teased up with hairspray! Hahahaha
*Lipstick And Leather Still Rocks The 80's Today!!*
I always loved them. Blues rock with great lyrics. We got to open for them once in Texas. I was walking back stage when Dave Meniketti walked past. I stopped and said "Hey your Dave Meniketti!

DRIvIN RAIN Blues rock is from the mid 60s.. this is great metal !
This never gets tired
this band kicks ass !!
I will die envious of all those guys who grew up in California in the 80s listening to great bands and surrounded by amazing girls
Ah, California didn't have all the hot chicks and fun. Not even close.
Hey its ok buddy. I just feel lucky to have participated, and survived This era. What a ride
1st Time to Hear Y&T ❤
I wish all of my 80s metal cassettes were CDs, so I could still play them in my car. ☹
Again. These guys never disappointed
People hated on this song. Not sure why. If your foot doesn't move to this, you are either lying or you're dead.
Una de las legendarias bandas del hard rock de los 80
Remember listening to this band when they were called yesterday and tomorrow. Wish I had a receiver I'd break out the vinyl.
David Bell. Y&T named themselves after a Beatles lp. ..Yesterday & Today
Was yesterday and today was it not
Ahhh those 80s girls 🥵
GOD DAMN your're right dude...Nothing like it
Dee Snider at the end, way cool!
hHAA I know....totally cool
Make it much more better than live one
what a ridiculous fun video this is
Those Teeth!
……….junior
Awesome band - great songs, great albums - definitely a favourite of the US 80's bands! \m/

I've been kicked, I've been hit
I've been scratched, I've been bit
I've been pushed around, shoved around
Had it rough but it ain't enough
'Cause I never knew an angel could be so wild
I never felt love till I tried your style
Lipstick and leather
Black and red, oh yeah
Lipstick and leather
Rock and roll, baby
Made a mess of my head
I've been slapped, I've been blamed
I've been attacked and I've been chained
Yeah, you put me down, slapped me 'round
Long enough but love is tough
'Cause you're ready, willing, able to please
Somebody tell me why I'm down on my knees
I said, this must be love or I'm going insane
There's such a thin, thin line between pleasure and pain
Lipstick and leather
Black and red, oh yeah
Lipstick and leather
Black and red
The girl gets around
Red lips like a traffic light
But when the girl gets down
Leather love's gonna burn all night
Oh, lipstick and leather
Black and red, oh yeah
Lipstick and leather
Black and red
I've been kicked, I've been hit
(Lipstick and leather)
I've been scratched and I've been bit
You can knock me down, I'm gonna get back up
(Lipstick and leather)
Yeah, I had it all but it ain't enough
I've been scratched
(Lipstick and leather)
I've been attacked and chained
Driven down on my knees
And I'm goin' insane
Over lipstick and leather
Black and red
'Cause that rock 'n' roll, baby
Made a mess of my head
With your lipstick and leather
Black and red, oh yeah
But your lipstick and leather
Black and red, oh
Lipstick and leather

Thanks for uploading this kick-a$$ version of the video. Excellent quality sound & video res, much appreciated.
Live y&t. Are amongst the best live bands ever.
Y&T has alot good songs this is a fav of mine Dave maneketti has good guitar solo
AWESOME video dude!! I love the bit at the end where Dee Snider reveals himself. This is a GREAT version.
I agree

@@ggggkkkpl were you in the video ?
@@visarbilali6984 no 😂, I should've been! Just kidding ☺
I was still in grade school actually 😂when this came out but I heard this when I was in junior high!

Carlos Zapata I was in my early 20s , when this video was in high rotation on MTV..
They're still touring. Great live band.
This wasn’t controversial. If you watch the video Y&T is partying with the members of TS (except Dee).
The ending is meant as an inside joke.
@@jackb348 I said controversial because was during the time Deen Snyder appeared in court against the PMRC & also because this specific video D. Snyder didn't get paid what was promised & sue this band which was not allowed this particular video to be aired for many years.
Had a couple of their LPs.....they could ROCK
Man this sounds like you've got another thing comin, it still rocks though
This is one of the best (if not the best) line up of Y&T and the label made them fire the drummer for being fat! WTF?! Y&T never caught the break they deserved, such a killer band with an amazing sound. Love them.
Drugs.
That's awesome!! Look forward to your others!!
Rock n roll nade a mess of my head 🤘🏻
Rest in Peace Mr. Leonard Haze
Love Y&T!! Dave Meniketti plays a rippin’ guitar, picking all his notes; and, is it only me, but doesn’t he and Sammy Hagar sound very similar?
RIP LEONARD HAZE
Ditto Phil Kennemore and Joey Alves :(
Shit when did they die and how
Good times.
this video never did justice to the robot on stage,,,,saw it live--municipal auditorium,nashville tn......ahhhhhh good times,memories!!!!!!!!!
This band does not get any of the fucking credit it deserves. RIP Joey and Leonard.
One of my favorites in the 80`s in my basement apartment i Norway.
Basically what they're sayin' is ROCKER CHICKS RULE!!
Y&T Rocks!!!
Love this
RIP Joey...gracias por toda tu musica..!!1

So awesome ❤
Ridiculous awesomeness
A little crazy to contemplate that everyone in this video is now in their sixties 🙃
I love this
A classmate played this one up at music class back in 1985. We turned from nerds to cool just by listening to it.
Cheers me up every time.
I'm musician ... hands down !!! Buy all means .. I was a junior in school Saw them at Randy's Rodeo ( they blew ) 1978 to days later it Blackfoot
