In the day I stumbled upon them (I think Columbia House) I was all over this shit. I always look for the underdogs. They put the most effort into their craft. (just like sports, I would rather watch AAA than professional. There is heart put into the craft.) They always disappear to my despair and if not, when they become popular I quit listening. This band was in my regular rotation on cassette along with Poison, Motley Crue, ACDC, Bruce Dickenson and the such. (those are classics [with professional producers] so will always be remembered) I just hope D.A.D is still getting revenue from this and not Warner fucking them over... other wise Jihad! I am getting mad! I would classify that as obscure or underrated. On a side note, around the same time was a band called Tuff-N-Nuff. I can not find any record for the life of me. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Also, a Japanese metal band with "X" in the title, but it is not the one you find on Google. I listened to it in the 89-91 range. All help would be thankful.
Listening from a small town in Coimbra 🇵🇹.. This song is amazing, like Texas and USA 🇺🇸... I never met US, but since the 90's, because the Movies, and other things, I always dream to live and work in this great country... The hope never die🙏 🇺🇸❤️🇵🇹.. Sorry my bad english... Eu amava poder ir aos estados unidos, poder conhecer ao vivo e a cores, o que apenas me posso contentar com os filmes... Sou mesmo fã dos States.. Um abraço daqui de terras lusitanas
In 1993 I was working for the UN protection forces in Balkans, we lived high up in a camp in the mountains between Macedonia and Serbia... No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims was one of the albums that was played over and over and over again. I still love D-A-D and their music always brings back good memories.
+Slackerphilosopher It was during the time with a lot of those bands. The biggest one was probably Guns N Roses? The market was pretty damn saturated in those years. Also, they're from Denmark. Before the internet it was extremely hard for bands from small countries to go worldwide.
Well, they did in their early years. They were the headliner for Roskilde Festival several times. I happen to know the guitarist, and he still lives completely of making music. They still tour every year :)
I was rocking this CD in '89 while stationed in southern Italy. Purchased it at the NATO base in Naples on a trip up there. I can still sing along to it after all these years. Great songs stick with you and never get old!!!
I agree with you 100%, this song is still a song that people can sing along to. The band METALLICA had chosen THIS SONG to have Kirk Hammet and Rob TRoujjio play and sing along to when the band had been in Denmark, and since the band "D. A. D." is DANISH, it had been a sign of RESPECT I THINK.
Just a perfectly crafted tune. Great hook, great bridge, great solo. Nothing not to like. Very underrated and undiscovered song. They should have been huge.
I can't understand how I could not listen this song till now... incredible!! I love 80' and I love this song. Let's rock for many more years to come!❤️
I've heard this song 100's of times on the radio but never knew the name of the band. I've been going crazy trying to find this song. Found it today, finally!
I was a stage hand back in the 1980's. Our crew did more than 100 Disneyland After Dark jobs, and we LOVED IT!! Not once did they do a mediocre show. They are kinda the Danish AC/DC, but with the Cow-Punk twist..
@@raksh9 They played everything from indoor sports-arenas to Roskilde Festivals Orange Scene. Yes, the crowds where LOUD and sang along, they still do btw.
@@hansemannluchter643 Thank you for the reply! This song made the charts in Australia, with the local music programs and TV shows playing it all the time. I think D A D even came to Australia once, but I'm not sure. It was a great time to be alive, with hard rock and metal like Crue, Poison, Whitesnake, White Lion and Europe getting a lot of mainstream airplay. Life was so much more simple back then! It's awesome to know that D A D are still together, it would be wonderful to see them live.
carbrett2007 Im 16, my dad showed this music to me and im in love with it. He always tells me that music back then was way better than what it is now, and im forced to agree. Anyone who was a teen back in the ‘80s was a lucky man.
I was 18 in 89 and saw the cassette tape in the music store. I bought it because I loved the cover, went home not knowing what to expect and, boom!, I was hooked forever! D-A-D became one of my favourite bands instantly, and Sleeping my day away is one of my five fave songs from anyone, anytime. Here in Argentine they are all but unknown, but I keep spreading the word!
I did the same with an album from Montrose, had a shark fin moving in a yard with grass. I never played the album for years, and when I did put it on a turntable, it blew me away. Montrose 2 I think the album was called. I liked the art so well, I never thought about playing the album. I collected a lot of albums, but had none from D-A-D. I liked the song when I heard it, but I never bought an album that only had one good song. I will now listen to the full album if CZcams has it. I always thought the title of this song was Sleeping My Head Away, but now understand it was my day.
I miss the musical discovery I had at 18 (1985). Still have many I 'found' like that too. Now get it on YT mainly---just like this one---or the used CD/LP store. What Argentine rock/metal bands should we (USA) know about??? The only one I know is Attaque 77.
@@spazbobstinkpants Argentina's rock, hard and metal scenes used to be big but, as with the rest of the world, young people has gone to trap, hip-hop, reggaeton and popcorn pop... I will mention a few bands which I like, and hope you'll like 'em too! Some are old, some are still around: RIFF (and Pappo's Blues); Rata Blanca, Alakrán, Hermética, Iorio, V-8, O'Connor, Tren Loco, Catupecu Machu, La Renga, Eruca Sativa, Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota. I recommend you to "copy&paste" the names which, as you can see, are mostly in spanish. There are a lot more, of course, but these will do for now... Let me know if you like 'em!
@@tomodonovan5931 I found it---thanks. Gamma w/Ronnie Montrose. Listening to it now---cool. You might like the first Montrose album 1973 w/Sammy Hagar on vocals (It is simply titled Montrose). It has the classics Bad Motor Scooter and Rock Candy. Of course it has a more 1973 sound than a 1980 sound but may be worth a listen.
@@adrianagarzon1593 This is great---thanks. Think I will be spending the evening in Argentina (virtually anyway). Rata Blanca sounds familiar. I will let you know. Good listening from Florida, USA. 🎶🍺🎶
This is the very song that encouraged me to start sleeping during the day and stay up all night. From the moment I heard it, early 90s...I've been nocturnal ever since. Loved the change and still do to this day...sleeping my day away.
Superb band never made it big like deserved. no airplay here in the uk, loved them ever since isn't that wild, no fuel one of the all time great albums, should be megastars!!!!
Back in the day, first heard this on WSOU, a little rock radio station outta NJ. 1989, visiting Denmark from NYC, 17 year old me, thrilled to hear this blasting at Tivoli Gardens whilst flying through the air on one of the rides there.
Just saw them last night (22/11/22) in Perth, Western Australia for the first time ever. They were super tight and Jesper's vocals were on point. 👌 It has been over 20 years since they played in Perth! 😳 Great band, really entertaining and I would love to see them again.
Seriously underrated band. I listened to a bootleg copy of this in 1989 because we couldn't get the album in the States where I lived for almost a year. I finally got the album when I ordered it from the store in the mall.
@Werewolf486 I am agreed with you but, think that in that period, there were yet some bands like Cinderella, Motley Crew, Def Leppard, Gun's Roses, LA Guns, Skid Row, so on...it is difficult for DAD, i suppose, also because, maybe, they were not english or americans. And their textes are different from the hairy bands of that period, with more humour. It is a my opinion.
I miss these fuckin bands man... loved D.A.D... So many great bands out of denmark at the time but Hollywood wouldn't pay any attention to anyone but these guys...

A great song. ticks every box for me. when jjj in Australia had a great ear in 1997 for new music. l fuckin miss that. how many other gems of songs like this have been in prison by a lack of play? my ears weep!!!
These boys should of been massive, damn they kicked supreme ass. A very tight band, very skilled musicians...great songwriting/vocals...great sense of humor, and they looked great. And the guy w/the 2 sting bass kills me, lol.
Sadly Danish bands tend to not be very huge in other countries, they can get known by some songs etc, as D-A-D did, but generally Danish bands do not get big recognition in other countries, it's incredible how Volbeat has gotten the success they got. Petty Maids got pretty successfull I think it was Japan too.
@@paulmusgrave1432 I don't care about skilled musicianship, fu_k bands like dream theatre or rush. These fellas wrote great songs...same w/bands like the ramones/green day/the clash, etc. Most music comprised of Berklee/MI/Julliard grads...stinks. I attended MI, graduated w/vocation honors...biggest regret of my life, it took me yrs to unlearn the bullshit that place pounded into my head.
we were sitting at a friend's today and just listening to music..... then it popped up. DAD after 30 years, it just pops up in a playlist from our buddy. I'm still excited. I've been looking for this for 30 years. I'm young again 😆
Another underrated phenomenal band that never got the credit or attention they deserve. Like Dirty Looks and others. I was listening to this when I was a long haired teen back in the late 80's. Still AM and they've out survived my hair. D.A.D.4EVER!!!
ICONIC song! I'm Judas Priest fаn, but these guys touched my metal heart. There is so much melody in the song. I have got this single as plastic bonus in Metal Hammer magazine long time ago and since then .... I love them
xactly where i heared it 1st..awesome...not sure tho if it was pre- europe ´s final countdown or slightly later.. same year i discovered JP with Turbolover
I'm not the only one who noticed that bass then. Looks like a Frankenstein job...a left-handed Fender Jaguar body (or similar) with a super-skinny neck. Kinda like Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat, but a bass.
I am in US and been listening to them since the early 90's. Thank my grandmother, bedste from Danmark for sending me the album when I was a young teenager. Wish they had more to listen to..
my God, I forgot how much I loved this song. DAD rocked man. they weren't hair metal, they were alternative, up there with Drivin N Cryin they should have been bigger than they were in the US.

Open my eyes when the day have died
I turned the world and I slept all right

Awesome band. Cheers from Argentina 2023
From 1989 to 2022, this song is still a Banger!!!!
Haunting guitar. Infectious chorus. In my head a lot! Play it loud
DAD best band ever. Very old number. Stil good
I remember when this came out I was a teenager and the song still holds up today 30yrs later
What a top tune, stands the test of time, great band. Jesper is a top vocalists.
it's with musicians like this that makes me proud to be danish and NO IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU EAT
Jep det har du helt ret i :-)
men det er med politikere som thorning der gør mig irritreret
i qoute lol
kundu989 dane and proud right?
i qoute du lyder som dansk folkeparti typen :-(
First concert i ever saw with these guys was in Accra, Ghana 2002. 2022, still rocking!
Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen this since the end of 1989.
Love that two-strings bass!!
These boys should of been massive, damn they kicked supreme ass. A very tight band, very skilled musicians...great songwriting/vocals...great sense of humor, and they looked great. And the guy w/the 2 sting bass kills me, lol.
Sadly Danish bands tend to not be very huge in other countries, they can get known by some songs etc, as D-A-D did, but generally Danish bands do not get big recognition in other countries, it's incredible how Volbeat has gotten the success they got.
Petty Maids got pretty successfull I think it was Japan too.
Great band but they weren't highly skilled, they had a very basic level of musicianship.
@@paulmusgrave1432 I don't care about skilled musicianship, fu_k bands like dream theatre or rush. These fellas wrote great songs...same w/bands like the ramones/green day/the clash, etc. Most music comprised of Berklee/MI/Julliard grads...stinks. I attended MI, graduated w/vocation honors...biggest regret of my life, it took me yrs to unlearn the bullshit that place pounded into my head.
we were sitting at a friend's today and just listening to music..... then it popped up.
DAD after 30 years, it just pops up in a playlist from our buddy. I'm still excited. I've been looking for this for 30 years. I'm young again 😆
Another underrated phenomenal band that never got the credit or attention they deserve. Like Dirty Looks and others. I was listening to this when I was a long haired teen back in the late 80's. Still AM and they've out survived my hair. D.A.D.4EVER!!!
hearing this song live has been one of my life's best moments
ICONIC song! I'm Judas Priest fаn, but these guys touched my metal heart. There is so much melody in the song. I have got this single as plastic bonus in Metal Hammer magazine long time ago and since then .... I love them
xactly where i heared it 1st..awesome...not sure tho if it was pre- europe ´s final countdown or slightly later.. same year i discovered JP with Turbolover
Every single one of these men are attractive
Listening in 2021
It's nice finding a new-old band!
Killer Dwarfs play'd this on their i-station. 2020 and 1st time I've heard! 👏
Heard this music in Rock In Rio 2022 Portugal, Superb!
É pena não passar mais vezes nas rádios portuguesas 😢. São top
A two string bassist and a sense of humour - what more do you need? Brilliant!
I'm not the only one who noticed that bass then. Looks like a Frankenstein job...a left-handed Fender Jaguar body (or similar) with a super-skinny neck. Kinda like Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat, but a bass.
Nothing, really
@@phantomechelon3628 A cool base for sure
.... he's got a two string bass and a one track mind.... 🤘
He had an amazing collection of instruments, using a different one almost every song. Very entertaining
Still a GREAT song! After all these years.
Thank you Denmark
..greetings from Finland:)
2021 everybody ! LOUDLY listen here ! Denmark is proud of D-A-D !
I am in US and been listening to them since the early 90's. Thank my grandmother, bedste from Danmark for sending me the album when I was a young teenager. Wish they had more to listen to..
All albums on google play music
Dad er the Best Danish band
@@jansproge7766 My lad har du hørt om Kashmir?
@@Tjalmann ...and still releasing new music!
I saw them in Malmö, 1989 before the hype and still think they are one of the best band ever. Disneyland after Dark. 🤗💕
30 years later and it is still great!
-- STILL one of my FAVS from way back when !! --
my God, I forgot how much I loved this song. DAD rocked man. they weren't hair metal, they were alternative, up there with Drivin N Cryin they should have been bigger than they were in the US.
The best kept Scandinavian secret...... Im watching this in 2017 and grinning about the stunning musicianship
Fun fact: They once played a hockey game for charity against Leningrad Cowboys :)
Don’t forget Gasolin’ the first and biggest danish rock band.
You can keep the secret 🤣😂🤣
Im 51 now i remember the day they hit our local METAL station KNAC 105.5 in SO CAL. this is STILL one of my all time favorites🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Tillykke med de 40 år til de danske drenge!!!
i cant get enough of this masterpiece
