"Yankee Rose" is a hard rock song recorded by David Lee Roth. It was written by Roth and Steve Vai and was Roth's first single on his 1986 first full-length album "Eat 'Em and Smile".
@@michaelhughes7267 the signer is the very talented Carl Restivo, this is at Lucky Strike in Hollywood, no one makes it up on that stage if they don’t belong there.
I love how Nuno is watching Vai play as a fan as well as a peer. This was cool to watch. The amount of guitar god talent on this stage is like trying to push the negative ends of two magnets together. There's just too much force. Shouldn't we try to keep these guys in separate cities so the same earthquake does not take them both out?
Nuno is so fuckin' cool. Vai was ready to just play it out but you can see Nuno telling everyone to keep going and just handing Vai the spotlight for some improv... and Vai being Vai, he just nailed it! Just fantastic!
i think it's like talking for him, we don't forget how to speak, he doesnt forget how to play, normal guitarists have to remember this shit... hell, when i wrote stuff i even forgot how to play it by the next gig haha, needed the other guitarist to teach it back to me!
Listen to his interview about playing in Zappa’s band and having to practice a million songs constantly, because Frank wouldn’t tell the final setlist until a few hours before a show!
Father Vai showing the world he can still bring it. This is the 1st vid ive seen of nuno on bass but as skilled as a guitar player as he is, its clear he is just as skilled on a bass too!
You never know when you have in your history Van Halen asking you to play something on his setup for him to tweak his gear, and saying "none of that silly stuff" when you play some tapping, because in some guitar magazine interview you said you feel silly playing tapping because Van Halen is the man who made tapping his thing, and he was interested enough to have read it.
Still remember first hearing this song on the car radio ('86) and being so pumped that David Lee Roth was steering towards the FAIR WARNING/ VH II energy again.
@@termsofusepolice I agree with that, but the VH brothers wanted to move towards a more keyboard pop-rock sound while Dave wanted to keep that hard edge. Dave was a big part of the early VH writing and sound. You cannot blame him for not being able to reproduce the sound without Ed and Al.
I live in far east......seeing steve vai and nuno on the sane stage thru youtube is like " WOW THESE PPL ARE HAVING FUN". I listened to Steve Vai while he was in David Lee Roth Band. And Nuno was superb with Extrene late in the 80s. Thanks steve and nuno for the music u ve presented to the world, not only metal world.
Nuno was having a blast playing bass. I thought music/jamming was meant to be fun. It seems no one in the video forgot that but a lot of people watching the vid sure have.
Saw the Eat 'Em And Smile tour in 86 when I was 16 and it was amazing. "Shy Boy" (Talas cover) "Tobacco Road" (John D.

Thanks for helping me remember that white-hot concert! 🎼 🎸 🎤 🎸 🥁 🔥 💥 🎆 I was there, too --- attending with an excellent guitar player from the Berklee College of Music. We were expecting it to be a corny night of David Lee Roth hamming it up, when what we really got was startling musicianship. Diamond Dave wisely left the stage for surprising lengths of time, allowing those three* masters of their instruments to display their stunning technical prowess. When my friend and I compared notes the day after the concert, we both realized all the musical shredding we had heard the night before had been running through our minds and our dreams all night. Roth actually put together a kind of a supergroup, though it was just billed as David Lee Roth. Quite an evening. 😊 (* I'm sure you would remember the actual musical lineup --- Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan and who was on drums? --- they were all monsters that night, too.)
Nuno playing bass. So many lead guitarists would let ego get in the way of relinquishing the spotlight to another guitarist of comparable ability. Both these musicians are the shit! Awesome.
Yeah I think when you get two guys who are of equal ability they don't have a problem letting the other shine for a moment. It looks like they got a big kick out of it..
Lmao, I just watched this for the first time, and I’m laughing at Nuno trying to wave off everyone from moving on while Steve was trying to get into a solo.
This is like the most beautiful fuckin' thing I've seen online. Only downside is I wish it was live instead of online. But that's like a billion to one chance, so I'm still happy, thank you very much for the upload.
Dave never sounded this good live. He was a studio rat! Old club days with Halen proved that. He was either forgetting the words or out of tune most of the time. He made up for it with flash. JMH
I seen them in Tulsa, Oklahoma 1980? On van Halen 2. Though I like sammy hagar a lot I must admit David was just as good a front man. And I saw sammy at tangerine 🍊 bowl in Florida 83? ZZ Top, triumph and foghat as well. Sammy was on fire
I saw Van Halen in concert during the 1984 tour. DLR sounded about the same live. Yes, lots of takes in a studio, but lots of repetition on a worldwide tour.
I am an African-American dude in his 60s and I find it interesting and also ironic that these guys who are playing blues bass music have become the new blues men of the 21st century. They’re carrying on the tradition of the blues and rock music stretching back almost 100 years. 30 years ago or maybe 40 years ago these guys would’ve been filling out arenas. The ironic part is musically. They are doing their best work right now. I think that this is going to inspire a whole new generation, which I hope is more diverse.
Underrated???? Most people who know anything about rock guitar know about Nuno. What other 80/90’s rock guitar players still play to 20,000 people a night like Nuno does playing for Rihanna? Not many.
