Everytime I see these guys or Setzer all I can think about is how incredibly full of shit the Rock and Roll hall of fame is. Madonna is inducted but these guys aren`t even though they started their careers the same time. A chick who plays watered down lame ass disco is Rock and Roll, but a bunch of dudes who actually play real Rock and Roll aren`t Rock and Roll enough for the hall of fame.
agreed one million times. It's not only that. It's these Guitar magazines, radio stations and record companies. I'm tired of seeing the Iommi's, Satrianis, Hammets, Malmsteens and Van Halens all over the fucking place. Maybe it's just my ridiculous bias but Setzer should've been a huge going back 30 years ago. Instead, he gets scrutinized for trying to revive a musical style that we Americans fail to embrace as our own invention.
@JackHauss I´d say that´s the coolest thing!!! Rock and Roll was born in the street... why care about a stupid "institution" called the "Hall of Fame"???? Neither the Cats nor Rock & Roll need that shit!!!
@JackHauss look at what Brian Setzer does now, and look at madonna. Brian setzer doesnt get hall of fame love, but all his peers have tremendous amount of respect for him and his musicianship.
Ive seen Setzer play jazz, big band , country and even classical. Hes a Rockabilly artist at heart, and thats what moves him. He has a sound that when he plays, you know it's Setzer.
Brian Setzer is undoubtedly a great guitar player, but I wonder what else he can do on the guitar besides the Rockabilly niche he's always stuck with. Talent like that shouldn't be kept to just one genre of music. Just my humble opinion.
well, i saw stray cats live in concert and he came out and did a fucken unbelievable cover of Ace of Spades by motorhead so at least he can do hard rock as well... and i have seen him do some incredible jazz licks also
The solo is 'quoting' Gene Vincent's Blue Jean Bop for sure, & why not? This band was great, responsible for introducing a whole new generation (including myself) to Vincent's & Eddie Cochran's music. Thanks for posting this!
this song's Gene's, so it's really possible, and yeah, they've paid their respect to their idols, Gene, Eddie and all the others somewhere above (or below) must be proud!
to play a song in a slower tempo and still kickin it - only very few really good musicians can do such a thing . Playing loud & fast is easy... slow it down and make it still groove - thats Cat's style !
well you pretty much took the words right outta my mouth. i was thinking the exact same thing -- this was the slowest, bluesiest version of this song I've heard yet, and it was sublime. Here here!
have loved brian since i was 12 now 44 still love him awesome
