I saw Y&T at the Catalyst here in Santa Cruz at the Catalyst a few months back. The put on a great show, they usually play around here 3-4 times a year since they are a local band. Dave Meneketti hasn't lost it at all.

I happened to see Y&T in a small club just 3 miles from my house and they kicked ass!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the show and the band are a bunch of nmice blokes too \m/ please let us know how the gig went.

I hate to say it, but the way things are now, I wouldn't put it past our government to do something like that. After all, if it's not some "safe," major label and MTV-approved flavor of the week, the band might be terrorists! Especially with that big, freightening "S" logo! But seriously, I have heard numerous metal bands (particularly from Europe) saying they have had all kinds of problems getting over here. I've even heard rumors of US officials seeking bribe money in order to let them in.

Agreed ! I am a fellow Ohioan myself. From Columbus. And yes the football game today sucked !
