Garden of Eden - John Cafferty - Eddie and the Cruisers II

[JamesJoseph1000]

I always thought Eddie And The Cruisers II was better than the first one, real shit.

[sonnyboy39]

I think he is right up there with the Bose.

[jonegger1983]

Me thinks Jimi Hendrix was a major influence. Listen to Pride and Passion and then Hey Joe... Of course, this intro makes me think of House Burning Down. :)

[drpat1965]

LOL so true

[webdragon001]

@Wilstont79 - Good music is good music. It will live forever.

[BransonScottMusic]

for those who still dig this type of music, my band is working on some tracks. We have a simular sound(because John is my influence[even though I'm only 16] and eddie and the cruisers are my favorite movies!!)

[MrRaheme2008]

what I want for my band, music that breath.

[spacecardinality]

Eddie & the Cruisers has always been one of my faves!  Great music. Michael Pare isn't so hard to look at either.

[larrystarstruck]

It may be an understatement but this is good music.

[THE987DBONE]

MAN, COULD CAFFERTY AND THE BAND PLAY.

[mredgrrr]

Gotta love that Rock n Roll!!And that's all this is.

[pudge1026]

[Trekkie46]

I said your bass player can't sing, and you come in on the wrong beat.

[mach1franco]

3 people got shit for brains!

[chrispmis]

Eddie Wilson shows the kid how it's done! Great scene from Eddie And The Cruisers 2.

[mach1franco]

Now this is MUSIC! I could listen to this all freaking day! Wish more bands today would listen to this and learn to play REAL music.

[OurLordLennon]

ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!!

[dtdoda]

Going to see them tonight. Just pulled out all 6 of their cds to listen all day.

[thdpvclassof84]

I suspect that more than 1 set of speakers has met their violent death because of this tune! Begs for max volume!

[unclechip100]

this band rules!

[Jstruzz]

John Cafferty played eddie wilson

[Bluesman9830]

@Jstruzz Michael Pare played Eddie Wilson. John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band did the soundtracks to both movies.

[dene1977]

[smithdeanna75]

snuffygambler and everyone else who thinks ther was a real band ""eddie and the cruisers" sorry.in the movies it's michael pare doing a great job of lip singing to john cafferty and the beaver brown band.i have both movies and sound tracks and i love them too!! ds

[pre9120]

@smithdeanna75 Do you have Eddie and the Cruisers unrealeased tapes and if you do, could you post "In the Heat of the Night"?

[smithdeanna75]

@pre9120 I wish I had the unreleased tapes! I have a friend in houston who runs a boot-leg station.e is trying to locate those for me. If he can you'll be the first to know! deanna

[pre9120]

Just came from Hannibal MO where Cafferty was to perform and it was rained out. John and some of the other guys that were also to play at the concert met with the public in a small rooom and signed autographs. I got to talk to him and get to shake hands with him and talk with him, Interestingly he said he never watched these movies, just did the music. Nice guy to talk with.

[susantequila]

[theguitarman03]

one of the most bad ass under rated songs ever.

[54pottsnpanz]

My baby-boy - now 30 -- was once in a ""Heavy Metal Band"". Band used to practice at my house (( my poor neighbors)) BUT on my 50th B-Day (6 yrs. ago). The 'Band' played this song for me. No Sax --- just a screaming 'git-tar' in it's place. Although '''they''' were heavy-metal, I once told them -- you have to learn to play ALL genres -- If you want to """Master""" One. They did get some ""air time"" -- but TRAVEL TRAVEL - TRAVEL TRAVEL ----CAUSED THEM ALL TO SEEK OTHER CAREERS.

[54pottsnpanz]

@tsprague1 -- I'm 56 -- so I 'grabbed' both movies and soundtracks from release. I remember -- this part of the movie well!! My sons are 32 - 30 -- Both have heavy - Tats and piercings (((usual listening is "Metal")))-- BUT THEY both jam to ''BOTH'' Soundtracks -- Good music is just good music -- At almost ALL POSTS FROM THESE 2 MOVIES --- There is nothing but positive comments--- AGAIN -- words and music!!!!!

[michealcase32]

i love it i sing it all the time when i working

[newjokeaccount]

I love this song. Dad had this album when I was a kid.

[Shepardswatch]

[wizzard1956]

its anywhere you put it , dont seek conventional note following, this is just a blues riff , anykey you play it , . . .

[fischermike27]

this song has one of the greatest guitar solo's you could have...both of my favorite movies and i can recite both movies from start to finish...John Cafferty and The Beacver Brown Band is on of the best in history of rock and roll!

[BinaryDeath]

ASS BURGER VAGINA!

[andy78624]

it would be awesome if someone made a how to video for this song

[midnightwolf313]

@andy78624 I've worked out some of it, still trying to figure out some more of it, but I can tell you that it's in the key of C, and he's all over the neck with it. When I get it figured out, I'll try to get something posted.

[andy78624]

@midnightwolf313 thanks man i am thinking about playing this song when iget a band together

[jarldagr]

the basics of this song is the twelve bar blues in the key of C I will see if I can get you all the tabs for solo parts and post a location for you.

[daadennis]

[MrLippa22]

[wwenumber1]

[wwenumber1]

[SuperGorgar]

[ou812lit]

@MrLippa22 go on vanderbilly's sight there is a vid on how to play it

[parkerman6]

[Dravenswraith]

this sounds like the song keep your hands to yourself ..

[Freakinstien88]

is this where Iron maiden got the name uncle eddie is becuse of this guy??

[TheBootie81]

I was around the age of 6 in 1987 when I saw the first movie and I went and saw the the sequel at the movies in 1989 I remember that I actually thought that the movie was a true story it sucks that it was fiction but it is still one of the best movies ever made

[Pam539]

TO the ones that do not like it do not listen but to the fans...This is the best movie every made for the time era,and the music is amazing. Micheal Pare is such a great actor!

[Wolfboi33]

Oh please. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie, I've seen it 4 or 5 times, but Michael Pare is a terrible actor. The music is what makes this film, plain and simple. The acting and plot were laughable.

[SummertimesBlues]

This is so COOL!Jst Luv this Song!U Take care.Thx for Posting!

[Taternuts88]

this is real music. but 83? i wasnt even born!

[elviradark6]

^_^..thanks my friend

[bateswadhams]

this is the all time best music...

[IsaacB5679]

this song straight rocks.... nuff said

[angelo062367]

a few years ago i got to see john caferty play on main street in my home town durning a street fair, and it was realy cool to see him and him and the band play, the sax player was so awesome his sound was so tight and i could feel the blues and the that hot jazz sound comming out of his playing

[Tabakak72]

John cafferty came to town this past weekend....this song was a rockin'.As did the sax player.They we're awesome!!

[peteetneet]

Well I don't know where all you were in '83 when 'Eddie and the Cruisers' was released, me? I was old enough :) .. fell in love with both music and movie....Was a little hesitant in '89 when they released 'Eddie and the Cruisers II (Eddie Lives)'... you know the sequels never compare, but I was greatly surprised and happy! ... I enjoyed it, both music and movie as much as the first... I almost dare to say I'd like to see a third. :)

[39tommyboy]

83 uh i was at the drive in eating a fur burger with extra cheese during this movie . girlfriend was praying at the time. oh god oh god .

[BermaFreedomFighters]

lol yea I'm sure that happened!

(dont bother commenting back, I pre-blacklist idoits like you)

[shaniaisgod]

This is one of the Greatest songs I have ever heard

[sethman53]

sure is. id like to sing this song lol. well i do in private for now but at a bar sometime lmao

[peteetneet]

Eddie and the Cruisers both 1 and 2 (Eddie Lives) are fictional movies that features the music of John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band .... and for the record, neither John Cafferty or Eddie Wilson Dies. End of first movie leaves u with the assumption Eddie died when his car went over the bridge. The 2nd movie is the story of how he had skipped out and was living under an assumed name for many years and finally makes somewhat of a come back, giving it the title "Eddie Lives" .... get it?

[shaniaisgod]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time

[jimlo2229]

john cafferty is very much alive and on tour

[parkerman6]

reaally? I thought he died when his car went over that bridge.

[killazilla02]

Completely two different people. Eddie Wilson(fictional) and John Caferty.

[parkerman6]

well duh!

[killazilla02]

Well I thought that you thought they were the same because Eddie dies when his car goes over the bridge in the movie.

[39tommyboy]

now thats some of the origanol rock there, play them bars man yyyyyyyeeeeaaaa keep it cool

[b03y]

you must be like what 50 years old lol

[Boopsie2U]

unless they can replace john caffertys voice ..no more eddie movies.. cafferty died, almost a year ago

[kyzer200]

fraid not cafferty lives and till plays these same tunes

[dgb111]
