Umlando wamalungu ebhendi
UTed Nugent
Omunye wabasunguli baleli qembu wazalwa ngoDisemba 13, 1948 eDetroit. Kakade kusukela ebangeni lokuqala, u-Ted waqala ukudlala isiginci, ngemva kothando lwakhe lwe-rock and roll. Phakathi kuka-1 no-1960 wadlala emabhendini amaningana ayizimfundamakhwela, lawa bekungamaphrojekthi egaraji.
Ngawo lowo nyaka, umndeni wathuthela eChicago, lapho ngo-1966 uTed Nugent akha i-Amboy Dukes. Kusukela ngo-1967 kuya ku-1973 leli qembu likhiphe amarekhodi amane anobude obugcwele, ayethandwa kakhulu.
Iqembu libe selishintsha igama lalo laba nguTed Nugent & The Amboy Dukes. Iqembu lisayine isivumelwano noFranck Zapp futhi laqopha ama-albhamu amabili angadumile kakhulu. Kusukela ngo-1975, uTed Nugent waqala umsebenzi wakhe eyedwa.
Imidlalo yakhe emide ithole isimo "segolide" nethi "platinum". Kodwa wahlaba izithameli umxhwele nakakhulu ngamakhonsathi akhe anonya. U-Ted waphuma egqoke izingubo zabantu basendulo, amaNdiya, ehlobisa izikhali.
UNugent uqhubekile nokuvakasha ngo-1981 futhi waqopha ama-albhamu amathathu, kodwa awazange aphumelele. Wahlala edumile kuphela ngokuvela ezinhlelweni zethelevishini nasemaphathini ahlukahlukene ezinkampani. UTed usolwa izikhathi eziningi ngokulala nezingane.
Ngisho uCourtney Love uphume nesitatimende sokuthi uke walala nalo mculi. Umculi ngokwakhe embukisweni we-documentary "Ngakolunye Uhlangothi Lomculo" ukuvumile lokhu, kodwa kamuva waphika amazwi akhe.
Jake Blades
Wazalwa ngo-April 24, 1954. Waziwa kakhulu ngebhendi iNight Ranger, lapho ayengumdlali we-bass futhi engomunye wabaculi. Iqembu lahlukana.
Tommy Shaw
Leli lungu lebhendi lazalwa ngoSepthemba 11, 1953 eMontgomery. Lapho eneminyaka engu-10, waqoqa iqembu lasegcekeni futhi kusukela lapho usexhumanise impilo yakhe nomculo.
Wazuza udumo eqenjini le-Styx, lapho engadlali khona isiginci kuphela, kodwa futhi wabhala izingoma. Ngo-1984, washiya ibhendi njengoba ibhendi ingena endaweni yeshashalazi eyengeziwe. Wathatha i-career eyedwa, kodwa i-albhamu entsha ngayinye yathengiswa kakhulu nakakhulu.
UMichael Cartellon
Umshayi wesigubhu weqembu wazalwa ngoJuni 7, 1962 eCleveland. Ushadile.
Ukudalwa kwe-Damn Yankees
Abaculi asebedumile kakade uTed Nugent, Jake Blades, Tommy Shaw kanye nomshayi wezigubhu osemncane uMichael Cartellon bakha iDamn Yankees ngo-1989. Umdidiyeli weqembu kwakunguRon Nevison odumile.
Indlela yokudala yamaDamn Yankees
Ngo-1990, ibhendi yakhipha i-albhamu yabo yokuqala ethi The Damn Yankees, eyahamba ngeplatinamu kabili. Ingoma ephambili ye-albhamu ibhalwe nguJake Blades. Ingoma ethi "Coming of Age" ifinyelele inani eliphakeme kunombolo-60 ku-US Top 100 kanye nenombolo 1 kumashadi omsakazo we-AOR. Futhi ingoma ethi Tommy Shaw Come Again yaduma kakhulu futhi yathola ukuzungeziswa okubanzi ku-AOR.
I-ballad yeqembu edume kakhulu, ethi High Enough, ifinyelele ku-#3 ku-US Top 100, yathola ukuzungezisa okukhulu, kanye no-#2 kumashadi omsakazo we-AOR.
Nakuba sonke isithombe sika-Ted Nugent sidalwe ngesitayela "se-savage engalawuleki", ingoma ethi High Enough ithole umsindo we-pop-rock futhi yaba eyokuqala evelele kwabayishumi abaphezulu.
Izingoma ze-albhamu yokuqala zavela kuma-blockbusters amaningi aseHollywood angaleso sikhathi - i-Gremlins 2: Iqoqo Elisha kanye Nothing But Trouble kanye ne-The Taking of Beverly Hills.
Ngemva kokukhululwa kwabo "izibulo", abafana bahamba bayonqoba iziqongo zomhlaba, futhi lokhu kwathatha unyaka nesigamu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, iMpi YasePersian Gulf yayisizoqala, ngakho lapho becula iqembu labo lavula futhi laphakamisa amafulege aseMelika, abaculi benza izitatimende zokushisekela izwe.
Ngo-1992, leli qembu lakhipha icwecwe labo lesibili elithi, Unganyatheli, elaphuma ngegolide kuphela. Irekhodi elilodwa, elenziwe nguJack Blades, ladlalwa kuma-Olympics e-Barcelona futhi lalidume kakhulu.
Kusuka kuleli rekhodi, u-Mister Please kanye nethi The You Goin' Now baba amaculo omhlaba, futhi ingoma ethi The Silence is Broken yaba iculo eliyisihloko lefilimu ethi Nowhere to Run (1993). UJean-Claude Van Damme udlale indima yesicoco. Ngemva kohambo olufushane, leli qembu layimisa imisebenzi yalo.
Sebenza ngemva kwekhefu
UTommy Shaw noJake Blades sebeqalile umsebenzi ku-albhamu ethi Hallucination. UTed Nugent ubuyile nephrojekthi yakhe eyedwa. Futhi ngemva kwesikhashana, abaculi baphinde bahlangana namaqembu abo amadala.
UDamn Yankees ngo-1998 waqala ukusebenza nePortrait Records futhi wazama ukuqopha irekhodi elisha. Kodwa uShaw noBlades babewuthanda kakhulu umsebenzi wabo ebhendini iStyx neNight Ranger kangangoba kwadingeka ukuthi bashintshwe ukuze baqophe. Ukushintsha komugqa kube nomthelela omubi kokurekhodiwe, futhi i-albhamu ayizange ikhishwe. Ngo-2002, iqoqo kuphela lamahithi, i-Esentials, lakhululwa. Ngo-2007, u-Ted Nugent wamemezela ukuthi unenkinga yokuzwa.
Damn Yankees namuhla
Iqembu manje seliphelile. UMichael Cartellon ube noLynyrd Skynyrd kusukela ngo-1999.
Amalungu eqembu awaphiki ukuthi angase aphinde adlale ndawonye. Okwamanje, abalandeli abavela kuwo wonke umhlaba bajabulela izingoma ezishisayo zakudala "eziqhumise" amashadi eziteshi zomsakazo.
