American rock veterans Y&T; are currently on the road in Europe. Fan-filmed video of the band playing "Don't Stop Running", "Sail On By" and "Forever" in Uden, The Netherlands at De Pul on October 18th is available below:

Y&T; frontman/founder Dave Meniketti is featured in a new interview with My Global Mind discussing the band's 40 year career and their upcoming European tour. An excerpt is available below:

Q: The winds of change have blown through the band over the years most notably with the premature death of Phil Kennemore. Obviously that had a major impact on you personally. Did that make you consider quitting the music business and end the band.

Dave: "There was a thought of that, for a short period of time while Phil was going through hell basically, in the hospital  trying to get put back together. Before he passed when we knew he was going there was a conversation with myself and him. He told me in no uncertain terms 'You cant stop, you know you got to keep going.' There is too much to this band that we put into it and at that point we had just released the Facemelter record. He was very proud of that, as well as I was. We both were on the same page when it came to that."

"For a short period of time I was thinking 'I wonder if I should even keep doing this or not.' There is no question that in my mind the band means everything to me still. I know that we are out there without Phil and kicking butts still. The fans are loving it and so it wouldn’t make any sense to me to stop. At the same time if the fans said 'Nah, that’s it we are done with you guys' that would have been another thing to consider. It has been anything but that. We have been having a fantastic support from the fans, ever since Phil has passed away. They are loving the band the way that it is as well as I am. I don’t see any reason to not keep going forward.”
