[NessaWakchazi]

Awesome Video !! Thanks for sharing !!

[Genners111]

Christine killed that black man for ashing his cigar on her brand new seat to this song...

[LordFly2k]

@Genners111 and rightfully so lol

[luckystrike1957]

Today, Feb. 3rd/ 2012. The 53rd anniversary of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Gone but never forgotten. R I P

[MexCleo]

Requiescat in Pace.

[TheEric2040]

In Memory! "On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, killed three American rock and roll pioneers: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson.[1] The day was later called "The Day the Music Died" by Don McLean, in his song "American Pie". The plane crash has been called the first and greatest tragedy Rock and Roll has ever suffered." RIP

[radikalenergie]

yeah. His music will never fade away. That´s perfect :)

[katmandoobie]

[jmen4ever]

Christine

[Syzygy60]

I ,love ELVIS just fine but I'm Buddy Holly!

[jacopman]

This song is still badass............

[cawkanos]

great stuff Buddy

[corrion1]

sad that he died in such a horrific way rip

[sirscrotum]

This song reminds me of a fresh, autumn red 1958 plymouth belvedere rolling off the assembly line in Detroit in 1957.

[usmctanks1]

@sirscrotum there are several videos of Christine on you tube, one has the owner of a restored oneTOUCHING the engine block while speaking about how "scary things happen around this car" ...

[amigodemoose]

I'm so damn pissed hipsters stole his style.

[rawvibe]

I love you Buddy Holly. You music lives on!

[stronghurst1]

Buddy Holly from Lubbock, Texas.

And don't you forget it.

[BrickPa]

@stronghurst1 Yeah and isn't it great when you consider how many great musical artists Texas has given us over the years!

[stackedactor1]

Rocking fucking tune,

[Genners111]

Thumbs up if Christine brought you here.

The little footage we have of Buddy shows that he was just a normal, earthy Texas kid with the God-given gift to write and perform his own music. He was certainly a gentleman, but at the same time, had no airs in him. That's one thing I love about him. Buddy never set out to be the "King" of rock & roll or anything like that; all he wanted to do was share his heart with the world through music. One reason he has endured is that we can identify with the honest emotions these songs express.

[whirrandchime]

the solo on this song is slicker than whale dung in an ice flow.

[dookieday1]

the drummer actually played on a cardboard box in this song.

[qthelost]

Wow, I'm used to seeing Buddy in that old vintage black and white footage. It's amazing to see him in color, feels like it brings him to life.

[dirty14you]

This of all BH songs makes me wonder what he could have been.... King of Rock! Will live on through me and my children and I hope everyone else will do the same!

[eleanorrigbyism]

@dirty14you I agree! He definitely could have been the true king of rock...R.I.P Buddyy

[MrShutupdick]

I always liked Buddy holly but I've recently noticed how creepy his lyrics are "I'm gunna tell you how its gunna be, your gunna give your love to me" that some creepy stalker/rapist stuff right there.

[grabit1]

@MrShutupdick

If this were 50 plus years ago, when it was written, it wouldn't even cross your mind.

[TheDumbo10]

buddy is and always will be a legend :)

[123jsbach]

love it. x

[pharsumabo]

If you appreciate rock, you appreciate this song as covered by the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead. How many songs have been played by both those iconic bands?

[Khultan]

@pharsumabo I'm neither of their fans.

[rockinrobintweets]

@pharsumabo I normaly dont care for covers because I perfere the Orginal,, NOT to say covers are a bad thing or that the Cover is bad, just my personal taste. BUT if the Cover brings you to the Orginial then there is good in that

[kbinco]

@Shack6713. I do vaguely remember the Rolling Stones in the 60's. Hard to say R&R went down hill, except for when the heavy drug use took over.

[GameMasterShania]

Thumbs up if you're teen and like this. Like me.

[shack6713]

rock and roll has been going down hill ever since Buddy Holly died.

[mirelurk1]

@shack6713 actually rock in the 50s sucked dick. they used the same chord progression on every fucking song so shut the hell up u obviously dont know shit

[shack6713]

@mirelurk1 you might think the 50s sucked dick , but in 2011 you are the one sucking dick. So you shouldn't talk with your mouth full, and just mind your p's & q's. You are a big boy hiding behind the computer, you need to just shut the hell up.

[burkettquintana]

@mirelurk1 A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones.

[TheCactushumper]

@mirelurk1 actualy dick head same chord progressions is where rock n roll started, these are the people that inspired bands like the beatles to play and as music gets newer it changes. so be respectful we have this great music otherwise we would have no beatles or rolling stones, or zeppelin.

[petelaw44]

@mirelurk1 No need at all, for rude language... to all you guys who make 'comments?' about some people who have helped 'Our World' be a better place for all of us.

Their time, and a fair amount of suffering, should inspire, rather than be ,the but of disgusting language...

[rockinrobintweets]

@mirelurk1 If you think that then WHY are you wasteing your time on a video of a 1950 s singer and his song. I value my time and dont waste it on singers or songs I have 0 regard for. I am deeply sorry you have no life

[xpmark1]

This song has stood the test of time.I first heard it 1957 like many of you.I am grateful everyday for the person of Buddy Holly and his band members also.

[FrankDiggz]

what amazing footage!!

[1FenderGuy]

BUDDY H WITH CONCERT HALL FTW!!!!!

[zacharykelway]

WHAT HAPPEND TO OUR MUSIC!

[MrAlvarosantiagoferr]

version of stones is better!!!!

[broxmouth]

@MrAlvarosantiagoferr

Yeh, shame they didn't write the song - Buddy did. They were performing a decade later with better electric guitars and better recording. It's easy to do a good cover version - but as they say - they were merely standing on the shoulders of a giant. Originality is the pearl of great price - imitation is mere flattery.

But both versions are great :))

[cawkanos]

Buddy you'll always be the King of rock, R I P

[Hydasta]

Buddy Holly and his music will not fade away - ever :)

[twocvbloke]

Re Record, not fade away... :P

[BackInBlack71]

Buddy and the band are standing on Magdalene bridge, Cambridge U.K @ 1.38 . I was born in Cambridge and still live there so for me its a great honour to know that won of the pioneers of rock n roll came to visit Cambridge. Think it was around 1958 but they never played there,Think nearest place was Ipswich. You will never be forgotten R.I.P Buddy

[Caylus1578]

@BackInBlack71 fantastic to see Buddy like this in the UK. I've got 2.06 at just outside of Bath..can't remember the road but driven by it hundreds of times, (maybe Weston) and 2.14 is definately Salisbury and the Old George hotel.

[musclecarluvr1]

You're my hero Buddy...

♨HAPPY BIRTHDAY♨

You're music is timeless.

[hfhd1]

Happy 75 th Birthday Buddy.

[pjl1015]

One of the best Grateful Dead's cover songs!

[simukeng]

Buddy would of been 75 Today. Just think what he could of achivied bear in mind he proudced this classic.

[binaryhuman]

I really enjoyed this. Happy Birthday, Buddy!

[sectorlearning]

I just watched 'The Buddy Holly Story'. Man I like this music. And the tragedy of an early death of a kind and talented young man is so sad.

[elviscash56]

man, seeing Buddy get on the plane, sends shivers down my spine. It's such a shame. I am a huge fan of Buddy as well as Elvis and I think if he had lived, Buddy Holly would could have become just as famous. Such a great musician he was.

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

Black Sabbath borrowed the lyric "your love for me got to be real/for you to know how I'm gonna feel" on their 1970 tune "n.i.b." :)

[FrankStrongWolf]

I had no idea Buddy wrote this song. I thought the Rolling Stones were the ones. Buddy Holly was WAY ahead of his time. He wrote a lot of songs we hear everyday. I also did not realize he wrote and produced his own music.

[VitalSoX]

R.I.P Buddy

R.I.P DIDDLEY.

[HellFireKane]

Rip Buddy

[rickeap]

Nice one, thanks

[tickyreal]

GREAT....I'M GLAD THIS IS SAVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

CUZ WE LUF BUDDY HOLLY..DON'T WE ???

ERIK TIELMAN, FRLORIDADADAA

[Caylus1578]

Second look and Salisbury, Wiltshire, England Market place and Old George Hotel in Salisbury for sure!! Those good ol' boys from West Texas sure did get around.

[Caylus1578]

Wow....thanks for posting this. Part of it is filmed in England obviously from the driving on the wrong side of the road!!....Somerset, Bath area? Salisbury Wiltshire Market place?

[rosscol601]

tune!

[Genners111]

still a great song 54 years later.... are we gonna be able to say the same about Rihanna or Justin Bieber? 

[Genners111]

really good-sounding version!!! heard this when I watched "Christine" for the first time. Hooked on it ever since!

[melfletch]

such a tragedy of a great musical talent.. i grew up listening to his music and being a 30 yr old he was gone a long time before i was born... this kind of music takes me back to my childhood which i will treasure forever

[FSinatra1982]

@melfletch I can relate a lot of classic music I grew up listening to reminds me of my childhood even though I wasn't actually alive when it originally came out.

[jcuneojr]

really good footage.
