It's like this. When Chuck Berry toured, he didn't have to take a band with him. He'd pick up a band in the town he would play because everybody knew his music and would jump at the chance top play with him. Simple? Maybe/.Still listened to and copied 55 years later? You better believe it. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame charter member.
Seriously? You cannot compare the two. Chuck didn't invent the three chord format but he did find his niche within it and was successful with it. Brian is a skilled technician who understands music theory; how and why it works or doesn't work. Brian's influences by the Chuck Berrys of the world are miniscule in comparison to rockabilly, jazz and traditional music all of which occured long before CB. CB plays guitar but is certainly no guitar player. He got very lucky. Good for him.
Of course Setzer is a technically better guitar player than Chuck Berry, that's not the point!
Without Chuck, Setzer, Keith Richards, Hendrix, and every other rock guitar player of the last 50 years wouldn't have existed. Chuck Berry invented rock guitar playing - and thank God for him.
@southwestcds I don't think so! Who's the most covered song writer in rock? Almost every band from the 60s and 70s cut their teeth on Chuck Berry songs, and his influence can be heard on the playing of every rock guitar from Jimmy Page to Slash.
Obviously there are others, blues players and jazz players who had influence but no-one as much as CB.
@jackHNv Hi, Jack. You most likely weren't fiddling with a guitar in those days like a lot of us were or you wouldn't make such a claim. The fact is that CB wasn't a player. I'm sorry but he just wasn't. As I said, he found his niche and worked it with success much like folks such as Bo Diddley did. It didn't make them players. Any player who 'cut his teeth' on those guys eventually learned to toddle. When they could, they did. After a week or two, there was nothing left to learn from them.
@southwestcds No, I wasn't fiddling with a guitar in those days, I didn't pick a guitar up until 1977, I have however played professionally for over 30 years since then.
I didn't say CB was a great player, I said he was influential, which he obviously was. The Beatles, Elvis, Stones, Hendrix, Dave Edmunds, Setzer, The Who, Mountain, Ten Years After, Beach Boys, Johnny Winter, Pistols, AC/DC, and countless others - what have they all got in common? They've all recorded CB songs, I rest my case.
I have seen Brian in many different bands. One of my faves was with the Radiation Ranch. He never fails to amaze me. I have seen them all from Hendrix to SRV and Brian is always on and I think vastly underrated.
Sorry, but I've seen both Chuck Berry and Brian Setzer play live, and I can tell you in all honesty that Brian Setzer can outplay 3 Chord Chuck any day, blindfolded, with one hand tied behind his back. It's just a Fact, no favoritism involved.
@HUBBAHUBBAWOOWOO Good Lord! Chuck Berry didn't invent the three chord riff. It has been around as long as the four chord riff. Where do you people get this stuff?
you gotta remember Chuck invented a lot of what brians playin. Brian would admit that but as far as being more accomplished yes Setzer probably can play more intricate riffs. Chuck was at the forfront of rock we are all just copycats
I forgot how good and entertaining Brian Setzer and his Orchestra are !!!!...B.S.O. ain't no B.S. when it comes to having a good time, that's for sure !!!
Merry Christmas 2011 - Chuck Berry, Brian Setzer, Keith Richards. I wonder if Eddie Cochran ever covered this one? It would've sounded great! Eddie Cochran -- Rock on in Heaven, brother! This version is King Tone!
@Alc6vol I know what you're talking about! I have this problem with the 2007 remix of "Rapture" by iio. Then I realize how badly seated my subwoofer chassis really is...since it does not only make vibrate the woofer, but also the tough (!) plastic around it ;)
There is no bass though? If that double bass was being picked up by the
PA or an input somewhere you'd hear a bassline ,all you hear is the bass drum. anyone notice? I bought the DVD one Christmas(!) brought it back .no f***ing bass Sir! Brian is still cool though.
What do it "better" you wanker??? Are you one of those who fight with 12 year olds about who is the fastest player and all that? Hahahaha..anyone who knows SOMETHING about playing the guitar (yes your English is shit btw) can play like Brian Setzer, hahahaha you made my day, YES, I agree: you are an idiot!!
@anderhenrique fuck of you dumb cunt learn to play guitar and then tell me what you think. and yes thats my opinion so if you dont like it then fuck off.
@anderhenrique and anyone who knows anything about guitar will know that you are not fit to re string brians guitars.......brian could play you off any stage without even breaking a sweat......you must be like 12 years old and really into thrash metal ...otherwise you would stop flapping your gums in the wind and sounding like a nutsucker
@Syzygy60 You can like whatever you choose to like. I like all the people who get an instrument of some sort and become overnight experts on the entire music industry. No, actually I don't like that but I suffer you anyway.
Always wondered why the stray cats were never larger than they were. Maybe they were oversease..not sure. But always dug Brian..Vocals were always spot on. True entertainer. And yes a sort of 50's throw back rock-a-billy vibe.
I'm only a rock n roll guitarist, but from what I know, a regular kick pedal gets re-set so that the beater comes straight up underneath the floor tom.
I think you have to remove the shaft and cam and turn it around so that the chain comes up the opposite side, and the beater sticks out the front. That way when the beater is in the down position it doesn't hit your foot! Very cool set -up for small clubs. A good drummer doesn't need much.
Everything except in the correct KEY, out of tune, out of speed, we do not feel at all what did Chuck...a version of "Roll Over Beethoven" , btw posted today, december 08 2010, 30 years ago a sick person killed John Lennon...
I can't get enough of Brian Setzer's sound. His guitar style and talent blow me away. I'd never been to any Stray Cats shows back in the day (though they were an excellent group), but being at his live Christmas shows every year is a must. The man knows his way around some strings for certain.
Brian Setzer really did one of the best versions of Run Rudolph Run. Dave Edmunds is another and always Chuck Berry's original. Christmas time is here now!
Just looking at Christmas song videos and found your comment Johan! Saw The Stray Cats in '82 in Milwaukee and The Brian Setzer Orchestra when the band formed in '94 and in '95 at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Got to see the Christmas Extravaganza at the Universal Amphitheatre in L.A. in 2003. Great video!
Probably the most German immigrants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Than anywhere in the United States. This is where most all of the large breweries started. Why? Because of the great German brewmeisters that came here. We are the beer capital. My full name is Michael Dober. My fathers heritage is German, my mothers Austrian. Proud of my heritage. From Wikipedia: To this day, the Greater Milwaukee phone book includes more than 40 pages of Schmitts or Schmidts, far more than the pages of Smiths.
Setzer is the only artist I would grant the right to remake this classic. Berry got it right the first time, and eveyone (except Brian) who tries to re-do it just messes it up, imo.

That was great! And I LOVE their instruments...God I'm so shallow, I've been doing nothing but staring at the flames. XD
Seriously awesome performance though! :D

Two guys from Brian Setzer Orchestra. I reckon they are identical to The 68 Special.
Go ahead, google 'em :)

No, they are not. Mark Winchester played Bass for 68 CBS.
This is Johnny Hatton on Bass.
The Drummer Bernie Dresel did play for 68CBS though.
But Brian has a new Drummer for the BSO, his name is Tony Pia.
