[Kmh5494]

You are a beautiful man/musician. I first discovered you while watching Paul's concerts and I can see your love for music all over your face. It is truly inspiring to witness, and which is why I sought you out. I will never stop supporting you!

This is one hell of a rocking song! Much love.

[EmanEzone]

Phony British accent... BOO, HISS!!! e ;(

[brianrayguitar]

@EmanEzone Check your hearing.. The accent is pure Southern California, LMFAO!

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

He thinks he is still young lol.

[newyorktown]

I still don't understand why he don't play one or two of his songs in the shows of Paul McCartney.

[ArmyFtBall]

fantastic song & video

[1beatles]

well hell, I can't see from the side .. it kinda looks like a Leman's from the front Ok Firebird hehehehe~ great vid! always lmao at Abe- he soo funny

[newyorktown]

His voice have sometimes a thing the smae as Tom Petty.

Love his music!

[TheBboyUneek]

nice... nerf guns. yay!



[swanski100]

looks like bowie kinda to me

[cokejuan]

Son Los musicos de paul McCartney wooo!!!

[dudsmitra]

nice.... He's using a Les Paul junior :D

[spinatune]

Yes this is the rub BRAIN KEEP US ROCKING AROUND THE CLOCK

[MsDance2Music]

LOVE this video!! lol You and Abe are hysterical... Great song and vid!! I get a good laugh every time I watch it. ;) Fantastico

[renanveloci]

amazing! I didn't know his work!

[TheKimi3]

0:18 hahahahah Jizz in ma PANTS

[davemis40]

Very cool track, gotta get this, love the guitar sounds ..

[jasondcguitar]

Saw Brian with Paul Mccartney in Cinci. Awesome show. Looked up Paul's band one day and discovered Brian's music. What a great find! Bought both his albums. Paul should have given Brian part of his set because Brian's music would hold it's own even against Paul's. Brian, come anywhere near Louisville or Cinci and I'll be in the front row. For sure!

[8Samuelson8]

Great tune! Anyone know what kind of pedals he uses, specifically distortion?

[brianrayguitar]

@8Samuelson8 for the fuzz guitar [the 3rd guitar of intro] I used a "Fuzz Factory" on a '57 Danelectro.. the solo was fairly straight in, just a little Pete Cornish Soft Distortion into Divided by Thirteen amps. Solo on '65 Epiphone Casino I think. First guitar is a 58 Les Paul TV Jr, second in 57 Les Paul Goldtop [ I think] Thanks. B

[8Samuelson8]

@brianrayguitar Thanks so much!! I've seen you with McCartney twice and you always do a fantastic job! Hope to see your solo stuff live someday. Come to Philly!

[8Samuelson8]

@brianrayguitar Thanks so much!! I saw you twice with Paul McCartney and you were amazing both times. Hope to see your solo stuff live someday. Come to Philly!

[newyorktown]

It's a bit the voice of Tom Petty sometimes.

Great music!!

[UsedNewsToday]

Great video! Love the look and sound!! Abe needs to come out of his shell.

[TheMusicalSteve]

Good day, Mr. Ray ! Can I try to re-master this song ? I'll send the result as a video in my other channel (TheMusicalSteveMISC). Such a great rock song, if I can say it's even hearable that you and Steven Tyler are cousins. It does sound a little bit like Aerosmith. You're such a great musician.

[Mistawong94]

Ehh, I like him better when hes with Paul...

[kevland1]

Ya know when ya' pack a suitcase and it bulges like its gonna break but everything you put in it belongs there? Man, howdja get so much great stuff in 3:42 seconds? Besides the musicians and dancers I have to give huge kudo's to the Edit Supervisor!

[brianrayguitar]

@kevland1 hahah, thanks man! That's Brian French of Tempo Entertainment who filmed and edited it, with plot and assistance from me and his brothers too.. B

[tomasrobes]

Paul McCartney

[MyDreamside]

great video clip!!!!!!!!!!!!! i didnt know he could write songs and sing so good i always enjoy his playing on Paul's concerts maybe he should team up with rusty and abbe some day and make a band.

[RosySuperBeatleFan]

haha Abe is so funny xD

& this is amazing:D the song & the video! I love it<3

keep making great music Brian!

-Rosy

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

WOOoOop! *dances* i like this song! *dances*

[HoraceLime]

Great guitar sounds in this! A friend of mine just sold the best sounding Vox AC15 w/ 2 10" s and bought a Dr Z which is a great amp but I really am sorry I didn't buy the Vox from him in time. So much character!

[brianrayguitar]

@HoraceLime on the album, it's a Div x 13 : model 915 head w 2 different guitars overdubbed.. plus solo and Danelectro fuzz guitars.

[HoraceLime]

@brianrayguitar Well, whatever you're doing It sure works! A veritable "wall of guitar!" 13 / just doesn't make a bad amp do they? Heard you did a show with John Fogerty somewhere down in South America! Too cool! Always wanted to play one of those old, Danelectro Coral Sitar guitars as heard on B.J. Thomas' "Hooked On A Feeling" . . . . just have never come across one.

[stratguy1688]

Solo is totally rockin'!!!!!!!!!!

[brianrayguitar]

@stratguy1688 hey thanks man!

[h3adsh0t69]

awesome - loved it.... 2:20 - HA!!!

[spacepatrolman]

Charlie is doing a great job of producing your videos getting hot looking girls and makeing sure your guitar parts are right youd better pay him the right amount of money or chrissie hynde will be after you for expoiting animals

[JDBeatlefan]

Awesome song, Brian. One of the few glimmers of hope that rock music is still alive.

[brianrayguitar]

@JDBeatlefan YOU are awesome.. thanks for the cool comments! Keep rock dangerous, y'all

[senyahecnerual]

This has made me want to rock again, stop writing and singing poetic love songs and reintroduce the soul handclap back into power pop. Hell Yeah! Love and peace dude. from sunny for once Swansea, Wales.

[brianrayguitar]

@senyahecnerual hahaha, that rocks! I feel ya, sometimes I write some soft shizz and chuck it.

[TERREXP1993]

I had listened Brian Ray in the band of McCartney but the as soloist it is wonderful

[VGCUtterSpartan]

My friend was playing this song in another room and I coulda sworn it was a 80s Tom Petty song.

[MattDonaldson]

FUN and Exciting to watch! Brian Ray knows how to bring it on!

Marco - Revolution Fan Club

[HoraceLime]

Fun. Rock and roll. Just like it's supposed to be. Makes you remember what it feels like to be 14 and ripping out in your first car!

[brianrayguitar]

@HoraceLime wait... you were 14 'ripping out in your first car?' that rocks.

[HoraceLime]

@brianrayguitar Yeah, started driving a little early I guess. Funny thing though, every time I got pulled over by the local sheriff deputies they would always just let me go with stern warnings and my promise to just go home! And this after some pretty wild driving that had drawn their attention in the first place! P.S. Love the happy vibe of the new CD, This Way Up!

[Carolegirl]

That's awesome Brian, great job :)

[brianrayguitar]

@Carolegirl thanks! can you tell were having way too much fun with this? stay tuned, ok?
