Y&T's Dave Meniketti, 71, Tours UK with Powerful Vocals and Band History
At seventy-one, Dave Meniketti, the last surviving original member of Y&T, is currently on the band's latest European tour, set to arrive in the UK on October 15. Known for his strong singing voice, Meniketti attributes his vocal prowess to a healthy lifestyle, including not smoking, eating sensibly, and adequate sleep.
Meniketti finds it challenging yet rewarding to continue Y&T, focusing on the band's history and memories. Unlike some contemporaries, Y&T did not adopt a grunge style or retire during the 1990s. Meniketti is open to making a new album but considers it a low priority at present. The band, originally formed as Yesterday & Today in 1974, is renowned for blending power and melody with strong vocals led by Meniketti.
Meniketti encourages Classic Rock's male readers to undergo regular prostate checks, emphasizing the high survival rate with early treatment. This UK tour is Y&T's second since Meniketti received the all-clear for testicular cancer. Fans can expect a setlist that may include less-played tunes compared to their 50th anniversary tour, which featured at least one song from each of their dozen studio albums. Meniketti has no regrets about declining Ozzy Osbourne's offer to join Black Sabbath in 1983.
Y&T, led by Dave Meniketti, brings their unique blend of power and melody to the UK this October. With a focus on the band's rich history and a setlist that promises less-played tunes, fans can look forward to an unforgettable experience. Meniketti's commitment to his health and the band's legacy ensures that Y&T's music continues to resonate with audiences.
