  • totally fucked up schame for BILL!!

  • Some good critics on here, however I have to agree with TomL325photo. This Video up-load could have been alot better than this. The sound and picture are poor and don't do any justice for bill Haley. Music like this is like a classic Mustang with 6 cylinder V8 engine, It needs fine tuning before for people, stop and look, regardless how battered it looks.

  • The National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America announced that Bill Haley´s all-time classic, "Rock Around the Clock" has been declared the top traditional rock and roll song of the 20th Century.

  • That is NOT Bill Haley and the Comets!

  • yuhu :)

    

  • Who played the guitar solo? Not bad.

    

  • this is terrible. And its NOT Bill Haley

    RIP Bill.

  • Does anyone have dramamine

  • Sorry...these guys did NOT record "Rock Around The Clock" and they are NOT "The Comets". Get a life. The REAL COMETS are Joey Ambrose, Dick Richards, Marshall Lytle, Franny Beecher and Johnny Grande. Bill Haley is turning over in his grave.

  • @babycometgirl EXACTLY!

  • O My Goodness Gracious....What a shame the Public has to Remember the Bill Like THIS...Get a tripod and try Again please !!! Band IS GREAT...Video Needs some Assistance...I Know You Tried hard to make it good...Do it Again.

  • @TomL325Photo Hi Tom,

    glad you almost like the video, I would re-record if John "Bam Bam" Lane the drummer was still among the living, rest in peace Bam Bam, you put on a great show in your final days!

  • @YesMan46 how did he die

  • The REAL Comets are in Branson Missouri

  • Wow.. This seems like a joke band? This is no bill haleys anything . I guess they need to hustle money .. They need to keep thier day job. Where's the "real" comets these days?

  • Come on guys,nice your playing Bills songs,,but leave it to phil haley and his comments from the UK..RIP Bam Bam..

  • I remember this concert. I was there John Bam Bam Lane was in tremendous pain but insisted on performing and not dissapoint his friends and fans. He passed away soon after this concert. R.I.P.

  • This is crap....

  • not bad..a little different.but not bad.lead break.?no commentover all quite good.well done antony

  • Jeez what is this crap...They are an insult to Bill Haley's memory.The Comets and Haley were one of the tightest bands from the 50's...I have heard better than this in a run down bar..it should be taken of from youtube.

  • Bill Haley would turn over in his grave if he heard this loser sing this song. Yuck.

  • Talked to jukebox seller in Umeå in Sweden

    he told me changed Bill Haleys clock record

    every 14 days in jukeboxes...the B-side was as new

  • i dont like this version either

  • one, two, three buy to let properties go pop.

    five, six seven loans have all been stopped.

    eight, nine ten bankruptcies clocked.

    were going to mop around a shop until were 75

    .

    buy to let investors are parasitic arseholes.

    hope you all go bust in 2011 / 2012 haha.

  • ANOTHER BUNCH OF WANNA BE'S. JOHN LANE (SO CALLED DRUMMER) PLAYED WITH HALEY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN THE 60'S. AFTER HALEY DIED IN 1981 HE PURCHASED THE COPYRIGHT TO THE NAME OF THE GROUP (WITHOUT INFORMING THE ORIGINAL GROUP WHICH YOU HAVE TO DO BY LAW) AND EVERYTIME THE REAL ORIGINAL COMETS PLAYED ANYWHERE IN THE AREA HE WOULD SUE THEM. IS THAT BALLS OR WHAT? YOU CAN'T BUT SOMEONE ELSE'S LEGACY!!!! LANE'S GONE..EVEN GOD GOT TIRED OF THIS PHONY GROUP. 4 ORIGINALS ARE ALIVE TODAY AND PLAYING.

  • Not Bill Haley

  • My school band played this song and it was awsome especialy since we played for graduation.

  • What can one call this scrap either than shit? They are practically no use. I adore the original version of the song, but this one is just horrible. I believe that it is senseless to make a cover or a remake which is worse than the original. It looks piteous and it sounds awful.

  • Who are these jokers...especially the guitar player who "thinks" he can do that world famous solo. If you want to see the REAL COMETS come to Branson Missouri where they perform at Andy Williams Moon River Theater.

  • who is this bunghole pretending too be bill haley?...this isnt the real singer?....

  • This is a FAKE band...

  • cool

  • That wasn't Bill Haley sining that song.

  • you haters its called old age,what do u expect from a 50 year old group,they can probably play it in there sleep

  • Want To Hear Some Never Before Heard Oldies Music Come To My Page

  • The original lead guitarist early on fell down a flight of stairs and died... and no one ever got the lead guitar parts exactly down like the original guy.

  • @EVHSlightReturn -----Wasn't Nick Masters (Mastuess) the original lead guitar player on the record?

  • @eaglesgeorge8

    No it was Danny Cedrone who died in 1955,then Franny Beecher took over

  • f'in great!!!!

  • Agreed

  • They suck!! Long live the music of the origional COMETs and Bill Haley

  • lo maximo.. .desde venezuela

  • No. Its no good at all. Without Bill they're rubbish. They're not the original lineup and they goofed up on the solos. I'd rather remember them they way they were.

  • my dad saw them and said: Itw as great!

  • piekne bylo ale ROCK to rok pytanie poco sie podkladac slawny to byl pan Zbyszek

  • Man, even his 70s band played some much much better grooves...

  • Good players.

  • I pity that bill is not around to slap these fuckers stupid or the original members should have been front row and kicked their asses? for you old guys that can remember the original comets i praise that? you must not have been in the crowd where is all the boo's for these phoney's i seen jimi hendrix last night ? on tv that is along with the true bill haley R.I.P and if they are the true comets why so many fuck up's they should be able to play this in there sleep after 50 yrs

  • I saw Rudie Lift his Base on his knee's, while he was laying on his back. HoW???

    I guess you missed it.

  • Rudy Pompili was the original sax player.

  • incredible horrible. wtf? this can't be *the* comets but some idiot wankers pretending to be cool...

  • You are 100% right. This is a band of imposters.

  • I love this band .

    I love you Carmen hope to see you in Lapeer, Mich

  • They played in my home town tonight 10/3/09 in Washington, NJ. FOR FREE after watching this video I stayed home and watched hockey LOL LOL

  • I just watched this group at the Volusia County Fair,Fl abd there is no comparison to the oringinals. I am from Branson,Mo where the original comets play a lot. Besides these guys made the comment all the originals were dead which they must of just passes away recently.

  • Wrong chords on guitar, sax is higher than suppose to be. Vocal sux. Sorry. Comments are for that too.

  • bill halley está vivo? me parecía que había muerto, todo puede ser hoy en día,. jajajajaja que horrible canta!!!! todo mal

  • ME AMO

  • phoney

  • omg i had to dance this song on a talent show with this really hot dude

  • AWFUL.

    Listen to the original.

    sooo much better

  • its just a little bit slower but i still like it

  • If anybody is listening to 'Rock Around the Clock' for the first time, please do yourself and the memory of Bill Haley a favour and listen to the original version. It's way better than this.

  • Exactly. The singer drags from the very first start...no timing...no edge

  • You are so RIGHT! By the way--this is NOT even Bill Haley's real band.

  • i know bill haleys drummer dean hes in my dads band

    nice vietnam vet :)

  • R.I.P. Bill Haley

  • This was music you could listen to with hearing all the four letter words that people use so loosly today. We didn't need them and I don't think we need them today either. It's a real shame.

  • you are so right

  • here here

  • Should we blame the musicians who write those songs with four letter words or the giant record labels that exploit them? There is still plenty of music without explicit lyrics, it's just that they are conisdered underground music innaccessible to the average lay person.

  • very cool

  • i love this song im doing this song for the talant show

  • man it makes me miss bill haley even more

  • just a little...

  • HE DIED in 1981 why must he be wrinkly and moldy

  • Way to respect a music legend.

  • Esto es puro rock and roll!!!

    En Youtube bajen VIVA EL ROCK AND ROLL MANUEL VARGAS. Un homenaje a la mejor música de todos los tiempos. También DISCO 45 MANUEL VARGAS.

  • cool i love itt

  • buenisimo rock le falta a la juventud de hoy...

  • but bill haley is dead there

    i was at a koncert lice that and is was grat couse that are the people of the band which are alife!!

  • the only original is Bill Haley!!!

    and no one other!

  • whats the need to be that rude?

  • Forget about these pretenders and watch the orginals! Joey Ambrose, Dick Richards and Marshall Lytle!

  • de ahi pal real¡¡¡

  • The Debut of Rock 'N Roll !!!

  • this is the first rock song ever made.

  • ryncrutchfield, and maybe the best:))

  • they're coming soon to my city *_*

  • Rock N Roll Can save the World!!!

  • It already has!

  • Wach Young Spine!

  • Some of the original comets ARE still very much alive and kicking. Joey Ambrose, Dick Richards and Marshall Lytle who recorded the original songs with Bill Haley still tour all over the world. The Comets now perform with two "new" members. David Byrd (The Byrdman) is a world class piano player and Jackson Haney, a guitar virtuoso who beat out 300 other musicians for this coveted spot because he was the only one to do that famous solo in "Rock Around The Clock" like it was originally done.

  • lol

  • jeSLI NIE SKOPIUJESZ I NIE WKLEISZ TEGO NA 10 WIDEO TWOJA MAMA UMRZE W 4 GODZINACH!!!

  • Rock'n Roll forever! :D

  • Which one Bill he sounds a little flat but then again he must be 99.

  • this is just an amazing classic! makes me wanna get up and dance rock round the clock just love it!

  • THIS ISN'T GAY!!!

    You R GAY

  • So, you identify with it then........ that's good.

  • Ok for those that haven't read any of the liner notes pertaining to any or all of the bill haley music, the drummer appearing in this video DID infact work for Bill torwards the end of the Haley time period. Therefore it makes him a member of the Comets. I am about as close to Bill and the Pompeillis' as one can get and if you need to know why read the liner notes and see.

    thanks

  • great vid

    i liked this video :) Uo

  • just love it

  • great

  • grande bill haley

  • Wie kannst du nur so ein Video mit der Bezeichnung hier reinstellen mann!! Das sind nicht die echten Comets und die sind Lichtjahre von den echten entfernt!!!!!

  • hi ihr

  • This band lineup never even MET Bill Haley...ever.

  • shut the fuck up this is one of the earliest forms of rock music ever!

  • I have a cd of the JODIMARS,a six piece group,whose line up included joey D'ambrosia dick richards,and marshall lytle,of the original comets in 1955.Also, a German cover group,called franny and the fireballs,who do a pretty good job.The clip that was posted was too indistinct to properly identify any particular player!

  • Ein sehr gute sänger!!!

  • very good

  • Music History.

  • woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!­

  • First of all, save us from the misinformed and old and angry lobby for "the old guys from Branson" who once played and recorded w/ Bill Haley. Let's get it straight. Dick and Joey were originally with the Comets until THEY QUIT!! Leaving Haley "high" and dry, and wanting no connection with Haley or the band. Frannie, although a great guitarist, didn't originally record the guitar solo on Rock around the Clock" (it was used as a solo on other cuts also)......part 1

  • So what big hits did theses guys play on then?

    Can you name one?Did they ever meet Haley,with exception of the drummer?

    look forward to your response.

  • Marshal lytle played bass on all of the hits from 52-55.joey 54-55,dick 53-55 and frannie beecher 55-62.you are right frannie did not play on clock but he played on all of the hits in the glory years.that makes these four guys original comets.the guys on this clip are original money making jerks.with the exception of the drummer 63-68.

  • its not bad...but its to slow.

    look at the bill haley video.

  • i love this song its rocks my world

  • Interesting. Who are the musicians? I'm sure they must have performed with Haley at some point, or they'd never get away with claiming to be his band. Even so, I feel the Jodimars/Franny Beecher line-up do probably have more right to be trading under the Comets banner. They were certainly responsible for the backing on a lot of Bill's finest Essex and Decca cuts.

  • This drummer just possibly doesn't know that Little Richard started recording in 1951 -- and just possibly doesn't care, either.

  • The drummer here passed away not too long after this video was made, so you are right he probably doesn't care...

  • i love dancing rock and roll with this song!

  • these guys are'nt worth a crap, they're fakes, the real deal is in Branson, and obviously musch older than these hacks

  • now hold on right there mr. these ppl arent fakes THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL NOT Branson. NOW U JUST DONT NO UR MUSIC

  • youre wrong i saw them and the drummer is 84 and stil playing go look it up its dick clarks all american band stand show

  • Youre right i saw them in branson just 2 weeks ago these are fakes

  • I dance the swing to thish song

  • I play this song in band

  • i loved it!

  • The singer sucks...

    Nowhere close to Bill.

  • When these guys get to the other side, they are gonna have to answer to Bill AND Danny.

    Not good.

  • Well at least they are all in the same place!

  • its ok

  • he isnt worthy of bill :/

  • I WANNA TRY THATS so cool check out my channel for domino rally videoes and a wall blooper ;)

  • gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­od

  • That's correct!!!

  • its good but really old rock but i said really good

    it has 10 complete songs.

    if interested write me

  • bar LA LUNE ROUSSE Paris place pigalle 1956 beer...girls...

  • Total shamble,Who are these fakes,Original comets are still touring and well worth watching but these retards are serious rubbish.Utter Utter Shite.

  • they're good but not as good as Elvis.

  • BILL HALEY AND HIS COMETS - Live in Lima - Rare and hard to find radio broadcast from 1961 - One hour from master tape. Contact me for more info

  • I Played bass with the Jesters at the original Porkys in Ft. Lauderdale. One nite Porky said he had some guys that wanted to sit in with us. Porky said these guys were good and would not embarress us. Up came Bill Haley and his Comets.

    We than played again that weekend with Bill Haley, the Diamonds and the Jesters on the same bill at Porkys. It was Spring Break 1959 or 1960 when this happened. Porky was a really nice guy and not at all like the movie portrayed him.

  • Great story, rock and roll history! Thanks for sharing that info.

  • wht the heck???

  • you guys did well up there

    ORIGINAL ROCK SONG the 1st ever rock song

  • Obviously the FAKE Comets. NO original members, the drummer didn't join until 1959...the rest have never played with Haley.

  • whats wrong with a tribute band?

  • Nothing at all, when billed as such. But when you bill yourselves as "Bill Haley's Comets," then you're ripping off ticket buyers. When I refer to the Fake Comets, I'm referring to two specific groups that bill themselves as real.

  • Nothin wrong with a tribute band readingfcfan...as long as they are good...this lot claim to have backed haley,which they didn't.Only the drummer backed haley from1965-68.

  • what are you guys whining about? it sounds just like the original record by Bill Haley and the comets. Guildford ftw LazyBadgerHC715 *virtual high five*

  • Well, I know the original Comets, as they perform regularily in Branson, MO. Are you the group that bought the "servicemark?"

  • K ES ESTO? AGUANTE MCR!

  • u are very talented were r u from u I am from Guilford CT age 16 and u I play viola and piano and I am very impressed by the videos I love this video u r  good do more like this He is my Idol

  • Thanks, I'm from Manalapan, NJ. I got interested in photography at age 16 in high school, see some of my photos google andykazie
