When I was a kid me and my lil buddies use to ride our bikes over to Chips apartment on longwood and get records and autographs all the time. Chip always answered his buzzer and always had something to hand us. Dude was an awesome cat. Was good friends with my late aunt Dawn RIP. Thanks for the childhood memories chip I still cherish them moments. Yours truly Blue Island bros for life...
I recently had the privilage to open up for Chip and the boys. I got to chat with him a bit and I told him how we stopped by his place in the early 90's and he let us kids in his place and gave us some swag. He told me a story about John Lennon inviting a homeless vet into his house and feeding him. Always be kind and humble. Chip is a very kind and generous soul.
I'm happy Chip is still flying the flag, but this song isn't the same without Donnie's unique voice and Frigo's pinched harmonics and tremolo bar acrobatics.
IDK why all of the slag in this thread. EZN were unparalleled in the late 80s for sure but, and I'm speaking RIGHT NOW in 2023, folks, Chip Z'nuff sounds exactly the same as he does in this performance, which is spot on. I mean, the guy has perfect pitch. Something even Donnie never had. And to be bringing a sound that replicates the original WAY closer than most 'nostalgia' acts. Truth be told, I was never really aware of this band during the waning years of hair/glam metal. I recently discovered them on UA-cam! I do remember 'New Thing' vaguely from back in the day. I thought it was a Cheap Trick tune! LoL No disrespect to Zander and crew but, in retrospect, EZN easily had as much if not more talent, just not the breaks.
saw this lineup here in Georgia at the 120 Tavern and they blew me away. Derek Frigo is dead, he's not coming back. Donnie Vie doesn't want to do it, and this lineup is solid and fun to watch. Great guys as well, got to hang a minute with a few of them and they were humble and out to make rock and roll.
HI Chuck I agree with you. I thought Frigo was FN amazing. When I think Enuff Z Nuff I think those 4 however I can't blame Chip for trying to make a living out of it. Unfortunately demons took Derek and Donnie has been inconsistent up and down. I think you need to go to the show knowing you aren't seeing the real Enuff Z Nuff and enjoy it for what it's worth. Take it easy
Chuck Novy not many bigger Z'Nuff fans than me and while i agree that Donnie, Chip, Frigo and Vik ARE still the band (with Monaco and Ricky), this lineup is fantastic! They sound great! They look great! And there all cracking guys! Donnie bailed again and Chip keeps the flame alive although he is the first to admit it aint the same anymore. They still rock though. Cheers.
This actually sounds really good. Yeah, he's not Donnie, but Donnie apparently doesn't want to do this any more. Why not keep going when you sound this good?
While I agree with the statement that the real band is Donnie, Chip, Derek, and Vik I will call this a B side version of Enuff Z Nuff. I know it doesn't sound remotely as good as the original. However I can't blame Chip for carrying on. None of this is his fault Derek couldn't kick drugs and died. Donnie has his issues and Vik got better work throughout the years. I know it's not a good comparison but I work at a bank and if tomorrow my co workers quit or leave or have drug problems I still go to my bank and make a living. Chip is a musician and has a right to make a living. It's up to us whether we want to pay to see the B version of them. Also considering Chip's name is in the band title and he co wrote almost every song he has a little more ground to stand on.
End of the school year 1990. Let’s go back! I’m driving. Bring your tape case! We need road tunes! In full disclosure once we get there somebody better be of age because I only have my permit in 1990. 😀🥺😢
William Uren I find it funny how people are always negative about everything. I knew these guys personally as a young man. Good guys. Donnie let the heroin get in his way but My life wouldn't be the same without him.
Chip sounds nothing like Donnie. Donnie is a LEGEND. Monaco did an AMAZING job when DV split but he left the band as well. I'm happy that EZN lives on, however Chip's vocals are horrible.
nobody can replace Derrick on the guitar licks the guy comes close chip sounds better than donnie good job chip I wish they do finger on the trigger they hardly do that song anymore loved that song and in the groove where my favorite
Just downloaded a ton of Donnies new stuff. This is like a rocklahomo version of the bass players former roadie going out as EZ.... Love ya Chip but WTF???
I'm not a fan, but what the hell? It sounds fine to me. Why all the complaining about it not being good, and not as good as the original guys? I watched a couple videos with Donnie singing, and it wasn't all that good. Chip seems to be doing just fine.
Boo, Chip's just a ripoff artist, always was and always will be till he does his "own thing". True, Donnie had issues but it didn't justify Chip ripping off everything Donnie wrote and putting his name to it. There will always be only one Enuff Z'nuff, Donnie, Derek, Vik and Chip Z'clown, anything else is just bad Karaoke.

REDDOGG 24 cool story! I've met Chip many times....great guy like you say.

Duel Christian Frigo and Donnie and Ricky are missed. Still great that Chip keeps the flag flying though.
Iove Monaco he was awesome
This song is an “Old Thing” without Donnie V’s vocals. But gotta love Chippy!!! 💚 ☮️
Yea Frigo, Vie, Foxx, Chip, best version of this band ever.

BishopLake couldn't agree more my friend!
Enuff Znuff = Donnie Vie, Chip Z'nuff, Vik Foxx, Derek Frigo...Period.

Unfortunately, Derrick passed away long ago.
Chuck Novy amen
I bought this album the week it came out. I knew from the get go these guys were amazing.

Even got Chad and Ace from Faster Pussycat to join in on background vox! Must've been a great show!
hope u come back Donnie. will always love enuff znuff.
always liked their melodies
Derek Frigo...may he R.I.P. :(
coolcatrick I was friends with Derek he was a good soul.
@@farrington7971
I was too, I'm blessed to have known him. Was crushed when I heard the news.
His dad was also as humble and kind.
Such a great band!!
Wow, not gonna lie, Chip sound surprisingly great here. I'd still rather hear Donnie do these songs but Chip is holding down the fort just fine.
Totally agree
Yep, I wanna hate on him but I cant . I wish Donnie was still up there though.
WOW!!! good find, >>>enuffs just one of the greate3st bands , ever, 90ws , hard drivin cool songs, I bow to enuffs Enuff!! ;))
Maybe could we get Donnie back ?? I never tire of this song ever .
these guys kick azz
I mean he couldn’t find a guy who has derek sounds I miss those whammy bars solos
the Rock N Roll spirit still lives in Donnie V 8)
Donnie is not there...
Oh yesss...you're right!
Donnie is great!!!!
But Monaco was a better replacement...
Monaco sang the songs every night consistantly....
End of the school year 1990. Let’s go back! I’m driving. Bring your tape case! We need road tunes! In full disclosure once we get there somebody better be of age because I only have my permit in 1990. 😀🥺😢
Well that made me feel sad. Especially the end :(
I miss Donnie, hope he's doin' o.k.!!
"Takin' a Ride" at the end :)
don't understand what the negative comments on this band they kick ass and Chip sounds just like Donnie
William Uren I find it funny how people are always negative about everything. I knew these guys personally as a young man. Good guys. Donnie let the heroin get in his way but My life wouldn't be the same without him.
William Uren I agree
Chip sounds nothing like Donnie. Donnie is a LEGEND. Monaco did an AMAZING job when DV split but he left the band as well. I'm happy that EZN lives on, however Chip's vocals are horrible.
Better than I thought. Vocal harmonies sound good
Going to SEE CHIP in Connecticut tonite!!
excellent rendition...love the chorus!!!!
Richie Sambora on guitar. Love this song!
Harmonies and his voice sound awesome negative are because of some weird bias for the originals.
nobody can replace Derrick on the guitar licks the guy comes close chip sounds better than donnie good job chip I wish they do finger on the trigger they hardly do that song anymore loved that song and in the groove where my favorite
Really????
This line-up sucks!!!
You must be deaf....
Oh GOD😟 Can you imagine in 1989 seeing into the future... THIS🤮
Seriously.
Yes exactly right. Applies to nearly all these bands from back then. GNR a good example of ghost of Christmas future lol 😂
Did the roadies run onstage & pick up blown chords
Does Chip only have 1 string on his bass ??
I was wondering why the bassist is singing but thanks to the comments I know why ... Too bad the other guys are gone.
I miss Donnie Vie
Vikki Foxx was a show man behind the drums stick trixx a twirl
Ryan Belden yess!!!! Vikki is my favorite drummer ever!!! :')
For some reason I used to call Vik Penelope when I'd see him!! 😁
He was a character and he and Derek together were always a good laugh.
Where's Vik??
NOT the same without Vikki
Just downloaded a ton of Donnies new stuff. This is like a rocklahomo version of the bass players former roadie going out as EZ.... Love ya Chip but WTF???
sorry its not the sameeeeeeeeeee
Get Donnie back and I will come out to see you.
Backing tracks?
Vocals sound really good, but just 2 singing 🤔
two guitarist...couldnt hold a flame to Frigo...this is pretty lame....and Im a huge Enuff Z' Nuff fan...bring Donnie back..and get some guitarists.
@2:05 Hello
I'm not a fan, but what the hell? It sounds fine to me. Why all the complaining about it not being good, and not as good as the original guys? I watched a couple videos with Donnie singing, and it wasn't all that good. Chip seems to be doing just fine.
Monaco plays circles around these dudes. kinda a bummer
Dustin Prude true but Tory is a good player....
Ricky Gervais on guitar?? I think Chip does a good job. Not as good as Donnie or Johnny but still.
now we know why the chocolate factory is close
Just call it quits Charles...I mean "Chip".....
WTF is this?
Sweet Jesus...Didnt think they could afford to go Rockabilly and buy so many drugs with two hits...Who knew?
jeez that backing back need to stay away from those mics
why in the hell is Chip performing without Donnie? Donnie is the voice behind enough is enough not chip he is ruining the songs
Because he needs to make a living maybe........
Daniel Walters donnie is out....for now.
Boo, Chip's just a ripoff artist, always was and always will be till he does his "own thing".

God....This is horrible....
I miss Monaco....
I miss Donnie Vie...
Sounds an alley cat gang-bang!!!
