[glenneveaux]

someone tell brian that the south "lost," and take that fucking racist cunt jacket off.

[VA24541]

@glenneveaux Brian is from New York, I guess the US History classes there are not what they should be, of course, wherever you went to school was surely lacking in that area!

[aalhazzred]

what kind of a retarded halfwit doesn't like this?

[bethoula]

[yorkie6687]

What a great tribute to Elvis!

[bethoula]

[lululapeache]

[vtv7416]

[niptotheair]

That lead at 1:58 is sweet. BS gets it done!

[lynnbee666]

Where is my favorite goat in the neighborhood?

[lynnbee666]

cat puts a lot of claw marks on my hands. Big horse behind my house likes my affection and local Bidwell cows stand to attention.

[heartsgate2]

They are really good! He is excellent on this tune! He wld have given the King a run for his money on this one! Great music! Hard to keep going fast all night.

[MadHatter3Z3]

His style is epically awesome! Love to watch their live performances! Thanks for the upload!

[DASH1ful]

I wish Buddy Holly n Eddie Cochran and Elvis could hear the Stray Cats play.

[brytanlodz]

great guitar by Gretsch!

[Syzygy60]

he's from New York I'm rom Detroit we listened to same music growing up

[Syzygy60]

confederate style

[Espligo]

@Syzygy60 man he must be roastin, but what a genius !

[Syzygy60]

this guy is same age as me and I see where he gets his style I love it

[smartalex1122]

who cares who played it first or anything?? setzer just covers this song and idk about you guys but it sounds really fucken great,

[steve89z]

and he stole the jazz music from king oiiver etc

[steve89z]

all music came from the blacks,rock,jazz,etc.

[rg6025]

classical and opera???

[DUDENOFF]

Does it matter? I hope that one day people will realise, that all we are one big family living on Earth.

[Nergaloroth]

@steve89z and blues too

[bruiser]

Johnny Cash didn't have the original on this. The original was by Little Junior and The Blue Flames, a blues tune. This is the Elvis version. Both versions are probably somewhere on youtube.

[terjebra]

Is this rock'a'billy or rock'a'billy parody? These guys have absolutely no feeling in their performance. Boring stuff. Sorry.

[smartalex1122]

wtf are you talking about?? your the one who sounds bland,

[mrssanch]

If you think this has no feeling you should listen to the original song down by Johnny Cash. This song was meant to have no feelings.

[vtv7416]

thanks.....great!

[smartalex1122]

who gives a shit wat kind of guitar or amp it is, hes the fucken KING OF ROCKABILLY!!!!!!!!!!

[margaritaboy]

Strat?...Not so much. Tele..O'Yeah! But

A Gretsch hollowbody is made for this stuff!!! I LOVE my Gretsch!!! Setzer ROCKS Hard!!!!!!!!!!

[LouGrimaldi]

Freakin great song. My favourite band of all time.

[smartalex1122]

keepin rock'a'billy alive!!

[Sk3z]

this is completelyt awesome. Anyway, any idea if there's a way to get this sound or similar out of my strrato? I'm really getting hatefull to my guitar, and this is not a good thing.

[ectoplasma777]

get a vox ac120 amp or a fender twin reverb and dont use any pedals

[FunkCowboy]

...Nope...a "strat" will not really get you there bro.

Strats are way too bright and twins/vox 120s are too clean.

You need a semi-hollow body (gretsch or even gibson) and a low powered tube amp (40 watts) like a fender bassman, or a super reverb. The "growl" is the natural sound of the amp's tubes being pushed...

If you really want his sound, you need to add a delay pedal...

semi-hollow body - delay pedal (slapback) - 40 watt tube amp (cranked...)

The rest all comes from the hands

[tedygarl]

A new guitar is not necessary imo. A good rockabilly sound is possible with a strat too. Not exactly like this but similiar

First you need a good FENDER (!) tube amp. If you have the money I recommend a Fender Bassman. if not I can recommend: Fender Blues Junior, Fender Vibro Champ and Fender Superchamp. You can add then a "SansAmp GT-2" to your arrangement which can really copy the Bassman-Sound very good imo.

Then you'll need a Delay. Imo any delay is okay for rockabilly. But you'll need one..

[rbound827]

sk3z- along with the sound of guitar, playin Rockabilly the right way has a lot to do with the feel for the music. Check out Danny Gatton, who played a solid body, and he was probably the best Rockabilly guitarists.

[smartalex1122]

you get a great sound from a hollowbody to, danny gatton is pretty dope but he has a different style, there's not right or wrong way to play rockabilly

[66fredo99]

That's a finger-pickin' son-of-a-gun! Killer sound!

[flatheadroger]

brians voice was at it's peak back in those days.perfect!!

[Timah93]

Thanx for posting!

[Chryguitar]

Thank you for posting that video; it's fantastic!!! Great Stray Cats

[whitteydog]

Slim Jims stand up style is true rockabilly. Setzer and Rocker are true to form. This is a GREAT rockabilly trio!

[jaywemm]

if you notice at the end of the solo he adds just a touch of luther perkins

[squirrelnutcased]

luther played the boogie woogie and brian just couldnt help it =D

[StrayCats68]

YES ! YES ! YES ! YES ! YES !

[setzer1979]

please,please where can i get a copy of this dvd

[jmt62]

who cares whom wrote it, its a great song, and stray cats do it well, so does elvis

[aussienug]

choo choo hot fish album has this song and is a better version by the stray cats

[rockabillykid56]

song was originally made my little junior parker who recorded at sun records, then in early 55 or late 54.. Elvis, Scotty and Bill did it... and it was even a take that Elvis thought he was doing terrible, but Sam Phillips loved it and made it the master, you can even hear elvis laugh at the end

[Distephano]

that was Elvis? i thought it was Bill

[Vampslayer7]

How does Brians hair defy gravity like that! Great Rockabilly stage costumes to.V

[ScottFree37]

Because he's half Rock-Star and half Blonde Rooster

[wildones]

Funny, I'm learning this song at the moment..

[mathieuds]

that's a original song made by Elvis Presley in 1956

[wildones]

Ya don't need to tell me that, sir.

[rjfudd]

just because elvis performed it doesn't mean it was an elvis original. sam phillips wrote it. i'd say its a sam phillips original

[nitrotwang]

Junior Parker writer..Sam Philips publisher.

[nofun1969]

Nice. wow wow we wow
