Eddie Cochran- Twenty Flight Rock (2nd Version)

[Dronemf11]

Jeahhh, this is punk..

[hotdog4sex]

the best version ever.

[Artokaas]

I've listened to this 7 times in a row now, then you know you've got a good one

[ParallelRapturez]

@Artokaas same here!!!

[PjRorke98]

I first heard this song performed by paul mccartney and thought it was amazing, but I think the origional is better.

[num1Beatlesfan]

This is what real music sounds like.

[dukienme]

OMG HES A LEDGEND. NOTHINGS BETTER THAN THIS MUSIC.

[ThePubeylewis]

Have you heard the tiger army version?! At least they have the upright bass as well! It's good stuff! I love Eddie Cochran, but good music is good music people! You don't have to put artists in order. Music isn't a competition it's an art.

[rollingstonesgirl99]

thank goodness for this songg!!!!! ive got the words down pat :)

i love paul to death too, but obviously original dominates XD

[omarskats3000]

only 21...so sad. how can such good stars die so young? they still had so much to offer the world. :(

[50srocknrollfan18]

the 1st picture looks like Eddie Cochran is yawning. Yawning at Miley Cyrus' talent! BURN!!!! lol

[omarskats3000]

@50srocknrollfan18 lol! you just reminded me of Kelso, "ha BURN!"

[sharpyjack1]

This song basically got Paul McCartney into The Beatles.

[PUNKXx666]

@sharpyjack1 yeah its a fact, too bad paul McCartney isnt shit compared to eddie

[rocker2530]

@sharpyjack1 no it DID get him in the beatles <33

[jt123egypte]

@rocker2530 who the hell are the Bealtes?

[rocker2530]

@jt123egypte WHAT

[JackM2409]

@jt123egypte a very over-rated band

[jt123egypte]

@JackM2409 - Beatles? Never heared of them!~There is only one Eddie Cochran and you may keep all the other imposters.

[JCKustom]

I think this is my favorite Eddie Cochran song, seems to be an underrated one

[mokacode]

My all time RnR fave number....

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

This is fantastic, I've never heard it before now!

[BaalofSouls]

Dsnt sound any different than the main version

[skatepunkzero]

@BaalofSouls this version has the backing vocals, the other doesn't

[BaalofSouls]

@skatepunkzero Nice thanks for the info

[avesatan]

@BaalofSouls just listen to the guitar solo the original version is better

[BaalofSouls]

@avesatan Oh ok thanks for the info

[ninascrew]

one of my favourite songs EVER

[nylon700]

Mighty Fine

[KoukiKid]

Best version IMPO

[fairportfan2]

Best cover version i ever heard is by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen on the album "Lost in the Ozone" - which shouldn't be a surprise; *maybe* the Stray Cats were as good latter day rockabilly artists - but *nobody* did rockabilly and Western Swing better than the Commander and his gang.

[Neweddy24]

This song was the last reason to like Tiger Army. Now it turn out it's not even theirs.

[Zipgunn1]

are you seriously trying to say you thought this was A Tiger Army original? :D

[Neweddy24]

Yeah...I know.

[7thwheel]

The Stones covered this on thier 1981 tour.

[gangerollo]

Yeaaaa...and Stones with 513 channels on elephantias tour didn't come close to what a mere 18 year old Eddie accomplished himself on MONO musical equipment. And Jagger in jump/tight suit ranting around the scene...I blushed! What a rockn'roll progress, my o my. Ed would turn in his grave if he ever had the "opportunity" to watch that spectacle.

[gypsysunerainbow]

@gangerollo well said

[dkfelix]

@gangerollo Eddie lives!

[gangerollo]

@dkfelix Yes!

[sethlevesque]

@gangerollo Right on! Eddie puts McCartney to shame too.

[sethlevesque]

@gangerollo Right on! Eddie puts McCartney to shame too.

[gangerollo]

@sethlevesque Guess so. ;O)

[zorbazig]

Father of the Rolling Stones !...

[gangerollo]

Well, I would say that Stones of '81 (from middle '60s or even earlier or never) and Eddie of ...whatever year he lived until passing away, he was no father of that gang. They, in my book, are, or developed into someting incredible DULL and BORING as much as/or everything after the late '50s rockn'roll. 2 worlds set apart. Gimme a pogo stick and go Bopa'lena, Bopa'lena.

[dreadnought45]

Great photos of him and his famous Gretsch 6120 guitar.

Ken, Toronto

[fanofoldiesmusicnew]

this guy was as really good as elvis just different voices and songs and looks.

[gangerollo]

Well, some called Ed the blonde Elvis. :O)

[gangerollo]

Very well done friend. But I'll damned if I can't hear this the differ or compare with the released

[Sayeret1]

Well, just listen a little closer, it is VERY different.

[gangerollo]

Sayeret1 Yea you're right. I guess I have listened to both, too many times. Are there any more versions out there? A wish. Imagine if they, rockstar et al, could find a hidden stack of tapes somewhere with about 20 forgotten records of Ed in this class. Or one of the might be one forgotten live footage from BBC 1960? Then I could rush 40 flights!

[eugenecraddock]

this version was recorded for the lp Singing to my baby.

The first one was published only on single during the fifties. this one is more polished with a real drum and backing vocals by the Johnny Mann singers.

[PomadeHead]

great song koo pix too. i enjoyed.

[mirlimirli]

God bless Eddie Cochran
