For all of this saying "Setzer is the greatest". He is great, but surly not the best. Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Stevie ray Vaughan, BB King, they were the best. I'm not a troll, I love music as much as you guys. But he really isn't the best.
@Evan42881 That's surely subjective? My favourite artists, are to me, the best, but they haven't sold the most records ever, they can't shred or play a million notes a minute. It all depends on what you think makes them the best or greatest. So to you Setzer isn't the greatest, but to many people he is. And that's fine :)
@TheModCon I'm not sure. My brother posted this. I'm into all the guys he said, but I disagree with him. I like the stray cats, and I love Brian Setzer. Great guitar player.
the 12 people that have clicked dislike !!! you all have serious metal issues there is not 1 guitarist or band like the stray cats that do what these guys doo and mr brian setzer him self is to me the greatest guitarist out there of these days and perhaps ever ...
i am 24, loved this since i was old enough to realise what listening to music was... started with stray cats, buddy holly and ritchie valens... quickly got into gene vincent and eddie cochran as well.... love it all these days.... i proudly wear my musical tastes litereally on my sleeves as well, with my stray cats logo tattoo taking pride of place on my forearm, in plain sight :D
@cdlund1987 I'd get tats like that too except whenever I have that much extra cash I usually buy more guitars! You sound like me though...oldies and Rockabilly are the shit.
my buddies and I covered alot of this music in high school 30 yrs ago with our band .. I miss the great times we had ... rocking the bars ... love the Stray Cats !!
This version is good. It's raw in a restrained sort fo way. If you want a really energetic version, check out the Zeppelin cover from RAH, a whole nother level of intensity.
Positive music, great sound. What is the problem with dickheads dissing every other genre of music they don't like or listen to. Hit at search button and fuck off.
I don't care about Billy B. Thornton, I don't even like him as an actor. Every lame ass 1yr old can play as Brian Setzer does? Yeah, right! And you talk about U3, and say "this band sux balls"?
I was wrong, your head isn't full of crap, you' re just a dumbass.
@lazydreamer1000 - first of all - "U3" - is that a U2 tribute band? I searched come on everybody by "U3" and couldn't find it, so I defaulted to come on everybody by "U2". Thought they killed it personally. Just because something's old doesn't mean it's not good. Otherwise people wouldn't still listen to classical music.
And if the U2 version is anything to go by, things only get worse as time goes on, from what I heard.
Rockabilly is authentic. Not surprising that younger generations don't get it. Newer bands don't live and die by their ability to play live. Appreciation will come with maturity.
i just dont get rockabilly...its like, i have a car, and a cell phone, and a computer...soooo...lemme type you a letter and run it to the post office on my bicycle......every possible iterations of this crap has been done...IN THE 50s!!!!!!!
if you wanna see a good song, try come on everybody by u3...i just stumbled on this crap and i cant even beleive its real....lololol
@lazydreamer1000 Rockabilly started with Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochrane, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, etc, and it just goes on. It's not a revival, nor wishing to be born in the Fifties. You' re free to say you don't like it, but if you call it crap...then your head is full of crap too.
@AlessioCircelli if you like it..listen to it..my comment was fliggin funny..and true..its like these guys are saying: hey, remember when this was cool?? it still is!! even tho every lame ass 1yr old bar band can play it & its just rehashed crap, pay me money to play! did you see im using a wooden stand up base??? im retro..lol..its crap..
& 2 prove it: look up that lame fuk billy bob thorntons band..look at him spew his negativity on the cdc..sad santa
To me- this is the rock 'n roll version, and Sid's was the punk version. So I love both versions! Geez people, it is just a song. TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF GENRE. And both versions of this song rocks.
No body seems to know what punk is about... Because there isn't a definition. It's everything and nothing at once. It doesn't matter which is better. Sid's was good. The Cat's was good. Cochran's was good. Good fucking song. Move along. Like what you like. Don't confrom to something.. Shit, are you all fucking two?
Great cover by the Sexy Stray Cats :P Sid Vicious's cover might not have been good but it wasn't supposed to sound good, Sid was a Punk and you didn't have to be a good singer or good band member to be in a band in those days, that's what Punk was all about!!!
I finally made it to a Stray Cats gig, after nearly 30 years. Their first concert in Denmark in 82 or 83 got cancelled. i couldn't afford the next one in 1990ish, then passing though Hamburg Germany in 2004 i saw a poster for a Cats concert playing the day before, AAAAArghhh I HAD to make the Farewell tour.
@Greaserville Eddie lives on through Brian, it seems1 I love Rockabilly! It's good-time music. I think the basic message is: Let's have a good time and ROCK OUT!
@billc756 You have described the spirit of Rockabilly to the hilt. Just to add a bit, as Carl Perkins' songs described, Rockabilly is that desire to be cool. As Carl sang, "Put you Cat Clothes on, because tonight we're going to Rock it Right!" AND, "After Five I Jive!"
I think they showed more that you could improvise but you gotta play kick ass rock n roll of sorts, kinda like early zeppelin. They improved but they did more medleys in a way and they played kick ass rock n roll mostly.
respect to the japanese bands tied for #2 poison--& kyosuke himuro. but this is 1 of the GREASTEST R&R songs ever, thanks eddie cochran, we love & miss you
@gretschbriansetzer Oh, I wasn't fighting. This is a good version of the song but I hardly think that it is better than Led Zeppelin's version. I agree with you.
I went to see Dave Edmunds at the Roseland Ballroom in 1983. Brian Setzer was brought out for the encores (which included this song). So I got to see Dave Edmunds AND Brian Setzer play at the same time.
Yeah, I wish I could go back in time to the 70s-80s too...
@Dman93Dman Dude This Music Is Timeless. The Rockabilly Revival Didn't Last Long But It Ushered In The "Austin TX. Music Movement". Stevie R.V, T-Birds, ZZ Top.Maybe You Can Travel To The Netherlands Or Europe Were There Still Is A Seen?
@Dman93Dman agreed mate I'm 15 I like old school Rock'n'Roll,Punk,Heavy Metal,Thrash Metal,Rock Glam and pop(sorry can't help it,it's just soo good) but some underground music is good too you know,HORNS!!!!!!!!
@scrappy5011, Abso-fucking-lutely! The Gretsch 6120 with filtertrons is the coolest electric guitar on the planet. I love that Aussie band The Living End. Great guitarist who uses Gretsch guitars. Ever heard of The Reverend Horton Heat? He wails on his own souped up Signature 6120. Great shockabilly. "The Great Gretsch Sound" says it all! G'day, mate!
I havent heard of The Reverend Horton Heat but Ill take a look for sure.The living end are from Melbourne-my home town-I actually live in the same area as Scott Owen-seriously,Ive seen him at the supermarket.Chris Cheney has always had that white Falcon-great guitar.
Yeah Man, There's a shitload of Reverend Horton Heat videos on YouTube. There's even one where he gives a quick lesson and there's also one where a Rockabilly guitarist tests a RHH Signature Gretsch 6120. Chris Cheney fucking rules. Love his style. I've been a big fan of Midnight Oil since 1982. Also, A great group called Ups and Downs. Australia has produced a lot of great bands. Always wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand. My Mom has some relatives in Perth whom none of us has ever met.
I've seen many of the great RnR bands- stones, who, etc. But the best show I've ever seen was the stray cats at a small theater in Hempstead, NY in the early 1980s. It was as if for one night i was transported back to the 50s to witness the birth of rock and roll.
Not only was this an Eddie Cochran original, not only did Sid Vicous NOT write or do this song well, but, of all people, it was Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats himself who PLAYED Eddie Cochran in the film "La Bamba."
If there was going to be one person who could (and was chosen to!) reproduce this song the way it was meant to be done, it was Setzer...and The Stray Cats.
@Arkady63- Sir, you seriously understate your case. The Stray Cats WERE the rockabilly revival, and Brian Setzer was the reincarnation of Eddie Cochran. That was the point from the beginning. Dave Edmunds kept rockabilly alive for 20 years until he produced the Stray Cats. And their version of "Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie" is indistinguishable from the Eddie Cochran original. Setzer totally channeled Cochran.
@Arkady63 Faites chier les anglais, je ne compends rien à ce que vous écrivez. J'étais au Festival ELIXIR en 1982 et j'ai vu les STRAY CATS. Le jour de mon anniversaire. Que du bonheur. Je m'en rappelle encore.
Ahahahahahah wow. this song is clearly Eddie Cochran's aha. Who ever thinks this "belongs" to Sex Pistols or Sid needs to take some music appriciation classes.
we all cover our favorites Brian revitalized a dead industry,Rockabilly and swing

@Dman93Dman Dude This Music Is Timeless. The Rockabilly Revival Didn't Last Long But It Ushered In The "Austin TX. Music Movement". Stevie R.V, T-Birds, ZZ Top.Maybe You Can Travel To The Netherlands Or Europe Were There Still Is A Seen?

@scrappy5011, Abso-fucking-lutely! The Gretsch 6120 with filtertrons is the coolest electric guitar on the planet. I love that Aussie band The Living End. Great guitarist who uses Gretsch guitars. Ever heard of The Reverend Horton Heat? He wails on his own souped up Signature 6120. Great shockabilly. "The Great Gretsch Sound" says it all! G'day, mate!

I havent heard of The Reverend Horton Heat but Ill take a look for sure.The living end are from Melbourne-my home town-I actually live in the same area as Scott Owen-seriously,Ive seen him at the supermarket.Chris Cheney has always had that white Falcon-great guitar.
scrappy5011 2 years ago
Yeah Man, There's a shitload of Reverend Horton Heat videos on YouTube. There's even one where he gives a quick lesson and there's also one where a Rockabilly guitarist tests a RHH Signature Gretsch 6120. Chris Cheney fucking rules. Love his style. I've been a big fan of Midnight Oil since 1982. Also, A great group called Ups and Downs. Australia has produced a lot of great bands. Always wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand. My Mom has some relatives in Perth whom none of us has ever met.

I've seen many of the great RnR bands- stones, who, etc. But the best show I've ever seen was the stray cats at a small theater in Hempstead, NY in the early 1980s. It was as if for one night i was transported back to the 50s to witness the birth of rock and roll.

Not only was this an Eddie Cochran original, not only did Sid Vicous NOT write or do this song well, but, of all people, it was Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats himself who PLAYED Eddie Cochran in the film "La Bamba."
If there was going to be one person who could (and was chosen to!) reproduce this song the way it was meant to be done, it was Setzer...and The Stray Cats.
End of story.

totally agree!

@Arkady63- Sir, you seriously understate your case. The Stray Cats WERE the rockabilly revival, and Brian Setzer was the reincarnation of Eddie Cochran. That was the point from the beginning. Dave Edmunds kept rockabilly alive for 20 years until he produced the Stray Cats. And their version of "Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie" is indistinguishable from the Eddie Cochran original. Setzer totally channeled Cochran.

You got that right.
So there was somebody who didn't think so?

@Arkady63 Faites chier les anglais, je ne compends rien à ce que vous écrivez. J'étais au Festival ELIXIR en 1982 et j'ai vu les STRAY CATS. Le jour de mon anniversaire. Que du bonheur. Je m'en rappelle encore.

@Arkady63 I agree But Sid Didn't want his version to be good, just like any other punk, he didn't care if it was good or not :)
