I'm now 17, and I love all rockabilly and psychobilly, but in the UK there aren't many other fans my age.. but I still go to a lot of the events etc.. Fav band is Nekromantix. And don't say that they're not psychobilly like purist types do. Because they are psychobilly, just better quality recordings and equipment lol.
i love this type of music. im 15 and i grew up listening to this music. some of you might be like, if your only 15, then how did you grow up listening to this, you're too young. my reason is that my dad knew what real music was so he played this stuff all the time. thank you dad.
@critic560 I agree in that so much, when i was like 3-10 my mom used to take me out on the nights and we drove araound in a caddilac 69, man the old times...
Now a few years later om back to this music and god i love it! We went on big car meets and stuff. Thank you mom
@critic560 Nobody was thinking that. Do you know how many comments there are on old music videos which say something along the lines of "I'm only 15, but I LOVE this"? Pretty much every second or third comment. The reason is that most music today absolutely sucks, and most young people are starting to figure that out.
@Wardenclyffeforever he also, if no one is thinking about what i said, then how come soooooooooooooooooooooo many people are sayign the same stuff. huh? ur last comment made no sense what so ever
@critic560 Okay, try to follow: there are a lot of 15 year olds who post comments on videos like this, saying "I'm only 15, but I love this". As you said, "sooooooooooooooooo many people are saying the same stuff". Hence your comment is not really surprising or interesting. That is exactly what I said. Get it now? Or should I explain it again? I didn't think it was very complicated.
@critic560 ok ill say somethin bad your a talkin pile of pig dung you might have grwn up to this but they were not the best band in town at the time brian faded out after the 80s had has lil cameo with lou diamond phillips in la bamba then had his little stint in the 90s with his new band but he crashed compleatly im sorry but they wrote some good tune and all then but now i thin they suck so lets see you come kick my ass little boy
Sorry I'm a punk, grew up with the The Clash and the Stranglers but shite I love the Stray Cats..rock n roll- purest form..all fits from where I come from
Sorry I'm a punk, grew up with the The Clash and the Stranglers but shite I love the Stray Cats..rock n roll- purest form..all fits from where I come from
@LegendarySolidsnake1 Good old hip hop is actually as good as this to me,it's just that nowadays it's bad,but a genre can't be crap in itself,it's just that some in it are bad
that bowling alley was on University Place in Greenwich Village, NYC. the lady bartender they show in this video was the bartender there at the time. she's not an actress, i knew personally. i wonder if that place is still there?
I envy people who grew up in a time of decent music like this, something you can actually dance to. Not like most of the crap shoved down the throats of kids/teens nowadays...
This is wear "Punk" started. They were the rebellious outcasts of that era. Bands like Sex Pistols, and Misfits, and all of the above originated from these guys.
@Pouchy17 well you could say very broadly that modern alternative music was influenced by the original black blues artists which was then taken up by the rockabilly style music but then you also have to look at artists like woody Guthrie who sang hillbilly protest music which went on to influence people like the clash and bob Dylan.
First album I bought when I was eight was Strat Cats, come back to them 30 years later and Brian and the guys are still cool..... Long may they rock...
@NJburbsSeeker there is a ton of rockabilly bands all over the world, they just don't get played on the radio. dave and deke combo, the chop tops, big sandy and his fly rite boys, omar and the stringpoppers... are among some of the more well known groups in the scene today.
Man, I first heard these guys while going through some of my parents old cassettes, I proceeded to listen to that tape till it literally broke a few weeks later and download all of it on to my mp3. Great band that should be a bit more well know in my book, epically with Rock This Town, which is one of those old songs everyone knows.
One day I tried to play on the double bass just like Lee Rocker Does, but I broke it and I fell out from stage. Everybody's laughted at me. I was ashamed at the time, but now it seems so funny.
this is what american rock n roll was, and probably should have remained. you can listen to this any number of times after any number of years, and it will still make you smile. and really, if music can't make you feel good, even for 3minutes, what use is it?
Man I'm 17 but this song just fucking rocks. Why did everybody change to stupid r&b and hip hop and justin bieber like serious this shit is just top notch
God, I just love this song!!! It came on the radio in the car, today, and boy did I blast it!!! Makes you want to dance and rock this town. Love Stray Cats.
saw them when i was a teen (am now in my forties) in hammersmith, london, uk in a building which is no longer there , and they did ""rock that town"" !!
The lead guitar player, Brian Setzer, has formed a big band with horns. They are called the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Search for them on Youtube. I think you may be pleasantly surprised.
