I really think that those who are unaware of Gene Vincent's existence and music are living a meaningless, empty life. No, kidding. But seriously, he's magnificent.
Um, Rage is amazing. I enjoy many genres (except country for some reason, I have no idea why), and many decades. I can go about my day enjoying this as an earworm, and then break out to Rage with a snap of a finger. There is no reason for competition among generations, only thanks from later generations to earlier ones for opening doors.
why does everyone on these videos diss the decade they were born in , this song is good but so were Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine and Blink 182. Seriously theres good music everywhere , you just have to look for it rolfloliamgdickaiser
Skinny white sailor, the chances were slender, the beauties were brief. Shall I mourn your decline with some Thunderbird wine and a black handkerchief ? I miss your sad Virginia whisper. I miss the voice that called my heart. Sweet. Gene. Vincent. Young …. and old ……. and gone.
Who's the guy on bass? Gotta be one of the coolest looking bass guitarists ever!!. I really love the original design of the Fender Precision bass (re-issued as a Telecaster bass in the 70s). I've been after one for a while now. I've just started playing in a 50s r n r band and I think such a bass would really look the part!
Check out the video with Paul Peek the original guitar player for gene vincent,this video is 50 years later,He was so well respected in the guitar world that Paul Mccartney of the Beatles sent him a video of Paul, wishing Paul Peek a happy birthday,and Jeff Beck sent him a fender telecast and a fender amp for his last birthday,Paul passed away a few years ago,here is the link,we were doing a benifit for needy children.Go to my page and scan down to you see the video that says Paul Peek.
I remember seeing a short clip of this on a rock and roll special in 1978 (when there were only three stations). Made quite an impression. Even then I thought the bass player looked like a punk and the guitarist seemed like he wanted to cut you with a switchblade.
@umacontanoutube Don't feel so bad. Now you can access all the old greats easily online instead of buying records. And the test of time has weeded out the lamer numbers from past decades.
Oh man, the best part about it is the screaming from the other bandmembers . It's just so crazy and raw. The band I'm in plays this song there's so much energy when we all start shrieking and screaming at the end of the verse. I feel like this was born and it died in rockabilly, and I want to bring it back.
@70sLAgirl I want to live in the fifties so bad :( I hope alot more people know him, he was so great! Too bad he died in that car accident :( Gene Vincent was in the same car, but Vincent survived luckily!
@70sLAgirl Yeah that was lucky! I havent heard so many songs with buddy holly :( My favorite song with elvis gotta be...Lover doll :) And the song called Got A Lot O' Lovin' To Do!
I'd say... That's alright, Heartbreak Hotel, My baby left me and Baby, let's play house, 4 awesome songs by Elvis... If you don't know it yet, just listen to Buddy Holly's Not fade away. Great song, it was also covered by the Stones, so fucking awesome :D
@MrGnomesftw The 50's had so many talented musicians. And Elvis is fucking AWESOME! He made just about any kind of music sound fantastic, and his acting wasn't all that bad either.
Have you heard of Ritchie Valens and Eddie Cochran? Two other good names from the 50's. :)
@cazonetta Eddie is one of my favorites from the 50's, Just love Twenty flight rock :D And Ritchie Valens ive heard his name, but havent heard any songs :(
Modern Music is very...wrong. The thing is people just seem to do whatever the media tells them. For example, (not saying it's that good a song) I remember showing people Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' about 5 years ago and they all hated it. Then Glee(grr) do a cover and they all love it. if Katy Perry released a version of Pink Floyds Comfortably Numb which was exactly the same, everyone would love it. There are some good genuine modern musicians but it is definitely a concern.
wow ...who's that kat on the guitar ?? dudes got alot of energy...he can play some mean licks....did he always play with Gene or was he one of them stage gig guys ??
think of the talent-less hordes of 'musicians' these days and their egos. This song (and the genre in general) is what music is all about, people actually writing, singing and playing their instruments. Million miles away these days unfortunately.
I always start my Radio Show with the KING OF ROCKABILLY
GENE VINCENT.. The songs i like the best of Gene's are his Ballards you can tell he is singing just for you.. but i tell all my listners that the song Five Feet of Lovin he sings just for me (ha ha ) My radio show Apple 98.5fm very wednesday 8.30 to noon
There are so meany GREAT Rockabilly Singers ...So lets keep Rockabilly and Rock and Roll alive .. Keep Rockin and Crusin and Listening to the Music
@karockabilly Now that I know about your show, I'll be tuning-in every Wednesday. Back in the '80's I'd listen to 6-o-clock Rock on 3KZ, every Saturday night !!! Great times, greatest music !!!!
johnm u missed ritchie valens and jp richardson. them guys died for there music and would made it better for today then now. maybe the music today would be more in the future then now aswell.
The 2 guitarists are bloody fantastic , and i have been kindly informed by PooPoo2u that it isJack Neal on bass and the brilliant Cliff Gallup on lead, Great.
In about 1970, shortly before he died, I saw him perform at a small club in North Minneapolis. If I remember correctly, Buddy Knox was on the same bill---both were considerably over the hill. We persuaded Gene to sit at our table for a few minutes after his first set, and he was a personable, kind gentleman. We offered to buy him a beer but he declined, saying that he had ulcers and his doctors wouldn't let him drink anything.
now aged 65 and still rocking in the aisles of life, favourites gene, eddie cohran, little richard, chuck berry, fats domino, buddy holly, bill hayley, jerry lee,elvis, need i say more
get the old danstte record player turning every now and then with original 45's, LP's collected as lad enjoy your rock & roll forever
Umm, just wanted to add my two cents if that's cool. I think that the music back then is awesome, not much of a fan of this song, but as I do think that music back then was better, there's also a good amount of music today that awesome and in my own opinion is somewhat better. I just think like both generations, both had their good music and like both, they had bad music, simple as that.
jonteen well the rock thats play today isnt the same r&r that was play back in the day ...it doesnt have that old time favor..if u know what i mean! r&r was IT! simple 3or 4 cords drum banging loudly and if u listen carefully u CAN hear the bass very clearly on the 45 s boom boom boom . hot woman, cold beer, sex, AND rock &roll thats it man!!!!!!!!!!
@09bnunez I don't disagree with you, today's rock is different, but there are alot of bands still playing rockabilly, but they are not mainstream, it's funny how todays music isn't nearly as rebellious as music from the past, but it still upsets alot of people (because todays music is shit).
BACK IN THE 50S IT WAS BASIC R&R THATS IT MAN !!!!! I WAS BORN IN 53......I LOVE SIMPLE R&R ...STILL DO IM 58 YRS NOW IM STILL A ROCKER TO HEART..LONG LIVE ROCK &ROLL TODAYS MUSIC STINKS....
@muctruk1 well.. false it's not even a majority. Samplers and loop may be on the radio, but people who are listening to that kind of music don't even know what does a sampler is. Real musicians do still exist.
@MrBeatlesnewband I agree, that's what I meant in fact, new radio broadcasts just crap and worst of all, people believe that's music! I love guitars and drums! The Beatles rule dude!
@Jontenn It's not just an age thing. I'm in my early-30s and enjoy music from classical, country, jazz through to rnr, through the disco music of the '70s, and many of the music made in the '80s, '90s and many pop/rock from the 2000s, as well as some newer pop/rock. However, there is no way you can say most of whats in the top 40 today takes the talent that the beatles, buddy holly and other great songwriters had. It doesn't. The whole world took notice of them and still does.
@FabFM Well, you never know what people in 40 years will say of Eminem, besides, the chart toppers are not the tunes that are remebered, an example is that archies "sugar sugar" topped the charts in 69, when beatles, stones, the who, kinks, (the list goes on) didn't. However I most defenitly agree that most of the music today that go on the chart does not have the creativty of the old goodies. Because today's music industry is commercialized, more so than it was before.
@Jontenn He may or may not be remembered in 40 years, but it will not be on the same level. And you can tell than by what people are saying now. He's been around for over 10 already... not at that level and never will be. As for your comment about "chart toppers", that is irrelevant in todays time. The charts used to be about the whole chart. No one looks outside the top 20 anymore (few even go that far). No one cares. Music today is fast and disposable, not like this - a fine wine.
@FabFM you're comparing bands that have already withstood the test of time to music that's only been around a couple years, which isn't fair. Pop music in the 50's was as shitty as pop music is now. The whole world took notice of nsync a couple years ago and they went what, diamond on their first record? The music industry is a lot different today, but for some reason you still wanna complain about today's music.
@zosothedestroyer The "whole world" did not take notice of N sync. They had successful albums, but they did not dominate the scene. When The Beatles came along, they blew away everything away. They dominated the charts, in a time when you had to sell records to chart and get public support for BOTH singles and albums, not give a bit of cash to radio to hype airplay and go "top 10". The Beatles evolved quickly, from "Please Please.." to "Rubber Soul" to "Sgt Pepper", they didn't stay stagnant!
@zosothedestroyer And yeah the reason I wanna "complain" about todays music is because I don't like a lot of it and have the right to say so. If you've got an issue with that then don't come to communities where thousands of other people are going to express their views.
@FabFM na its just annoying as fuck having to read this stupid shit on every video I go on, go to a fuckin' 1950's convention and you can complain with all the other people who think it was better back then, even though they weren't even alive yet. You said you're in your mid 30's but your acting like ur fucking 68 talking about the "good old days." QQ
@zosothedestroyer Well if others views, thoughts and comments annoy you, GET OFF YOU TUBE and make your own site where you can dictate what can and can not be said. And no, I'm not acting like i'm 68, I'm acting like ME... saying my own thoughts, my own views and my own opinions. If you don't like it... TOUGH!

Umm, just wanted to add my two cents if that's cool. I think that the music back then is awesome, not much of a fan of this song, but as I do think that music back then was better, there's also a good amount of music today that awesome and in my own opinion is somewhat better. I just think like both generations, both had their good music and like both, they had bad music, simple as that.

09bnunez 8 months ago
@09bnunez I don't disagree with you, today's rock is different, but there are alot of bands still playing rockabilly, but they are not mainstream, it's funny how todays music isn't nearly as rebellious as music from the past, but it still upsets alot of people (because todays music is shit).

@09bnunez Sad but true, teens today are not singers nor musicians, just samplers and loops, long live real rock!

@muctruk1 well.. false it's not even a majority. Samplers and loop may be on the radio, but people who are listening to that kind of music don't even know what does a sampler is. Real musicians do still exist.
sorry for bad english

@09bnunez It's ironic that the 58 year olds in 53 thought the same about the music from the 50's as you do of todays music
Jontenn 8 months ago
@Jontenn It's not just an age thing. I'm in my early-30s and enjoy music from classical, country, jazz through to rnr, through the disco music of the '70s, and many of the music made in the '80s, '90s and many pop/rock from the 2000s, as well as some newer pop/rock. However, there is no way you can say most of whats in the top 40 today takes the talent that the beatles, buddy holly and other great songwriters had. It doesn't. The whole world took notice of them and still does.

@FabFM Well, you never know what people in 40 years will say of Eminem, besides, the chart toppers are not the tunes that are remebered, an example is that archies "sugar sugar" topped the charts in 69, when beatles, stones, the who, kinks, (the list goes on) didn't. However I most defenitly agree that most of the music today that go on the chart does not have the creativty of the old goodies. Because today's music industry is commercialized, more so than it was before.
Jontenn 8 months ago
@Jontenn He may or may not be remembered in 40 years, but it will not be on the same level. And you can tell than by what people are saying now. He's been around for over 10 already... not at that level and never will be. As for your comment about "chart toppers", that is irrelevant in todays time. The charts used to be about the whole chart. No one looks outside the top 20 anymore (few even go that far). No one cares. Music today is fast and disposable, not like this - a fine wine.
FabFM 8 months ago
@FabFM you're comparing bands that have already withstood the test of time to music that's only been around a couple years, which isn't fair. Pop music in the 50's was as shitty as pop music is now. The whole world took notice of nsync a couple years ago and they went what, diamond on their first record? The music industry is a lot different today, but for some reason you still wanna complain about today's music.
zosothedestroyer 8 months ago
@zosothedestroyer The "whole world" did not take notice of N sync. They had successful albums, but they did not dominate the scene. When The Beatles came along, they blew away everything away. They dominated the charts, in a time when you had to sell records to chart and get public support for BOTH singles and albums, not give a bit of cash to radio to hype airplay and go "top 10". The Beatles evolved quickly, from "Please Please.." to "Rubber Soul" to "Sgt Pepper", they didn't stay stagnant!
FabFM 8 months ago
@zosothedestroyer And yeah the reason I wanna "complain" about todays music is because I don't like a lot of it and have the right to say so. If you've got an issue with that then don't come to communities where thousands of other people are going to express their views.
FabFM 8 months ago
@FabFM na its just annoying as fuck having to read this stupid shit on every video I go on, go to a fuckin' 1950's convention and you can complain with all the other people who think it was better back then, even though they weren't even alive yet. You said you're in your mid 30's but your acting like ur fucking 68 talking about the "good old days." QQ
zosothedestroyer 8 months ago
@zosothedestroyer Well if others views, thoughts and comments annoy you, GET OFF YOU TUBE and make your own site where you can dictate what can and can not be said. And no, I'm not acting like i'm 68, I'm acting like ME... saying my own thoughts, my own views and my own opinions. If you don't like it... TOUGH!
