[Bernhard Jonsson]

What an ego this guy has ! Eddie and the boys are hardly allowed to say one word!

[gretschky]

How much does this interviewer love his voice? he wont give Eddie the chance to talk

[BesCanKeanRob2]

Eddie,R.I.P mate,never a big lover of 50s rock and roll,but Eddie Cochran stands out for me as the daddy of 50s Rock and Roll.I think Britain was still playing skifel or something like that back then.

[klassikrok69]

The original Oklahoma Kid,cool as cool could get.R.I.P. Eddie!

[kevin davies]

notice how he plugged the other guys...true gent..and he was in real life gene vincent thought the world of him

[babyblueLEGEND]

Eddie was one of the truly great artist of R'n'R. A wonderful singer as well as guitarist and performer.This is an awesome piece of American music history dispite the fact that Eddie was being ''talked at'' more than interveiwed. Eddie Cochran died before i was born, and yet i miss him.LONG LIVE REAL AMERICAN MUSIC.

[TeenageQueenie]

Too damn polite. What a great man and a very talented man indeed! Died way too young.

R.I.P Eddie<3

[MestizoSoul]

He was 5'8", but he was waaaaay bigger inside!

[Hairy Neck]

The interviewer does talk a lot but you have to be fair and say he's a pleasant guy.
