@j2thashaw Yeah I'm 19 and my dad got me at a young age to listen to the shadows, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Who, Pink Floyd (Favorite band :]), Cream and many more artists from the 60's and 70's. I look at music today and laugh because it is never going to be as good as stuff from back in the day. I thank my dad all the time for showing me the light
@iLLUSiiONS111 Hell yeah, I just turned 19 yesterday! The same thing happened to me except that it was my uncle who caught me at a your age and showed me all these different bands, mostly metal bands but he showed me a lot of others like blues and jazz bands. I am just now checking out this band The Shadows after reading Tony Iommi's book, he said that he was mainly influenced by this band and I thought that they would probably be good if Iommi liked them, and they are, they're great!
@KingPurcival, yes, have a visit at this channel, to see some stuff and recommended channels also, surfbirdtrash, it s mine, i m a fanatic of shadows ventures and the rest of the oldschool surf instro, but yes, there are new groups with the same skills.
Man of Mystery, 36-24-36, Peace Piipe all great shadows tunes. Met Jet in 1977, what a great man! Pity he was forced to leave The Shadows, and was in my mind, very badly tret by them. As for the 60s, there was some great music, but remember there was a lot of rubbish too.
@MrAcklington Did Jet jump or was he pushed? I read somewhere about Cliff Richard ,of all people, having a fling with Jet's missus at the time. So the atmosphere in the Shadows must have been very uncomfortable for him. Once he left the Shadows after Wonderful Land, I always felt they lost their edge and became more mainstream.
@ToxicDoovelacky hey man im 20. and there is tons of great music nowadays you just wont find it on the radio. Listen to a band called the growlers. they are the shit.
@ToxicDoovelacky Don't knock 'Today's Music', you just have to go search out the things you like, buried as it is under piles of crap.
I'm well chuffed that a 12 year old can have some 'ears' for music, keep searching and listening, you have more to listen to than anybody in the sixties would. Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon for starters.
@ToxicDoovelacky It's not that bad now after all. I'm sixteen and I used to think the same athing a few years ago but honestly, there still great people around who like this kind of music, you'll find them don't worry. =)
I grew up listening to this kind of music , I am over 70 yrs old and the youngsters here in Ukraine are now liking this 60s music. OH how i miss those days
A hip-hop group I listen to put me on this band and then when I look them up I never ealized I've listened to them before !!! This is an awesome band!!!!! Love every song I listen to. I hope they got paid for all the times their songs are played in movies
I grew up listening to this kind of music , I am 49 yrs old . I still do listen to the 60,s music and films as well . I love it , better than what we have today ,
I remember this song and I can't even remember from where... I know it brings memories! A great song indeed. I don't understand why people even click "dislike" on videos like this.
I had this EP (and everything by the Shads) back in the early 60's. I just about wore them out. Mum took me to see the Shads in Leeds in 62? Fifty years later I can mentally play every Shads tune note-for-note. Hank, Bruce & the guys - if by any chance you should see this, thanks for your musicianship and everything else!
This song was originally the theme music to the Edgar Wallace Mysteries. The Shads covered it. I love their version, but it';s not the 'original', just the one everyone remembers.
@ruivo26 lol, ive only been playing about 3 years, i had alot of other songs my teacher wanted me to learn, i just never got around to playing this very much. now, ive finally gotten it, its amazingly fun.

HANK can sure spank a fender . . such quality such sound the whole band were just the greatest . and what about MARVINS dreamy licks on the CLIFF early stuff. just listen to NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN its awesome .
BEATLES WERE POETS TO MUSIC . THE SHADOWS DID THERE TALKING ON GUITARS . wow STILL SENDS SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE . the sound is ageless
Hey there. Just want to inform you that my father in law just tried your brainshaker on me, right after he saw this vid (yea, he's a fat basterd too). The only effect he's got is making me very angry, so he's got a genuine anger punch in his face. Yea, I got my ass kicked after that, of course, but that didn't help him looking prettier with his bleeding nose YEAAA...
@ SpiritLevelBubble- I, too, was at school in the 80's, and some of my classmates thought it strange that I liked music from the 60's when everyone else loved Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, etc. These are good bands,too, but my favourite was always the good old 60's. Timeless music that still sounds good today.
During 5th grade or so, back in the 80s, we used to bring tapes with our favorite music to school that we'd then vote for in class Top of the Pops kind of thing. Everyone brought Duran Duran, a-ha, Bon Jovi, etc. except me. I once brought a copy of this tune. Needless to say, it didn't get many votes ... But it was the best tune!
THE SHADOWS reached the top . and stayed there . . why . because they were simply better than anyone else in there field . my father used to say son HANK MARVIN can make a guitar talk . well hes been speaking to us for 50+yesrs . we will never see there like again .
@philly624 man... Maybe muse is a bit "shadow-esque". They existed like 10 years before matt even was born (just a guess) .. you CANNOT say something like that! god
@Molkomuse yeah sorry thats my bro who wrote it...hes on muse's nuts like no other so anything is compared to them NEVER the other way around. haha its cool that muse can take on so many different styles like the shadows...thats awesome. also muse is the best band EVER!!! just thought i should add that lol
@vanu49 bands like MUSE are re-introducing to the next generation a lot of overlooked songs like this one, by doing unexpected covers esp. during live performances :)
@koalashooter1 Yes, but this original is much better. The sound is great, you can't get that kind of sound with new instruments. I'm a bit over my 30s but I love the music of 50's and 60's. Better times in many ways.
@koalashooter1 the original song is way better. And i'm a former big muse fan as you can see. Now i just like them for the nostalgia and stuff, but still, the original is better.
Hank Marvin is the PHD on the guitar. All his instrumental hits are sensationals. His playing style is unique, his blocked notes and most of all, his skill in using the vibrato arm like what you hear in this song.
So I will not listen to another performer doing a Shadow piece because the The Shadows is simply the best.
Yes of course it is. Its identical in every way and I also have 2 large floppy ears on my head. Lets not forget that other Shadows classic Apache, which is of course a blatent rip off of the German National Anthem and then wonderful Land which is a rip off from the Theme tune to Eastenders.
Hello BNP. I invite you to listen to this instrumental piano version of the song I mention. Please try to focus on the harmony in the chorus. You'll find that the chord progression is exactly the same. Chord by chord.
yes the Chord Progression is the same, but how many other hundreds of examples could this apply to? I see your point, and agree the progression is the same, however to claim its a blatant rip off is a little over the top.
There's something wrong with your arithmetic. It takes the Shadows just eight chords to execute the tune. On the ninth they land back on the tonic chord of A minor, ready to start the tune all over again. So where does this "TEN" come from?
If you brought a charge of plagiarism in court, you'd be asked to name the Naranjo en Flor chords. I couldn't myself, because the half dozen versions I listened to on YouTube can't even agree on the first five. But you must know. So what are they?
Best times of all. The government are mickey and minnie mouse today. at least back then you knew what was what and had respect above all great music! that will be legend till time disolves.

@vanu49 bands like MUSE are re-introducing to the next generation a lot of overlooked songs like this one, by doing unexpected covers esp. during live performances :)

@koalashooter1 Yes, but this original is much better. The sound is great, you can't get that kind of sound with new instruments. I'm a bit over my 30s but I love the music of 50's and 60's. Better times in many ways.

@koalashooter1 the original song is way better. And i'm a former big muse fan as you can see. Now i just like them for the nostalgia and stuff, but still, the original is better.

What a great tune! Truly a fine sound, perhaps a bit difficult for its simplicity. Seems so long ago...
Thank you so much FH.

Hank Marvin is the PHD on the guitar. All his instrumental hits are sensationals. His playing style is unique, his blocked notes and most of all, his skill in using the vibrato arm like what you hear in this song.
So I will not listen to another performer doing a Shadow piece because the The Shadows is simply the best.

I like the Shadows, but this is a blatant rip-off of a well-known tango called "Naranjo en Flor".

Yes of course it is. Its identical in every way and I also have 2 large floppy ears on my head. Lets not forget that other Shadows classic Apache, which is of course a blatent rip off of the German National Anthem and then wonderful Land which is a rip off from the Theme tune to Eastenders.

Hello BNP. I invite you to listen to this instrumental piano version of the song I mention. Please try to focus on the harmony in the chorus. You'll find that the chord progression is exactly the same. Chord by chord.

I already listened before I commented.
yes the Chord Progression is the same, but how many other hundreds of examples could this apply to? I see your point, and agree the progression is the same, however to claim its a blatant rip off is a little over the top.
BritishNoblePerson 2 years ago
Give me five of your hundred of examples where almost TEN chords are played exactly the same way. Don't try to lower this as a common thing.
0re6an0 2 years ago
There's something wrong with your arithmetic. It takes the Shadows just eight chords to execute the tune. On the ninth they land back on the tonic chord of A minor, ready to start the tune all over again. So where does this "TEN" come from?
If you brought a charge of plagiarism in court, you'd be asked to name the Naranjo en Flor chords. I couldn't myself, because the half dozen versions I listened to on YouTube can't even agree on the first five. But you must know. So what are they?
