    I love Brian Setzer. When Punk is king, he fronts a Rock-a-Billy band. When Grunge and Metal come in, he gets an orchestra and plays big band swing music.

    Without a doubt Brian is one of the best players ever!! Never got the credit he Deserves. Until now that is.

    Stray Cats were a breath of fresh air. Always knew Brian was good. I recall an awards show almost 20 years (?!!) ago where he stormed thru a solo section and at the end thanked his Mom for the guitar lessons! Most of our 'hero's' never took lesssons. Brian seeemed to put them to good use!! Still tearing it up!!!!

    Rockabilly alive and well. I remember the Stray Cats well; great band. Good to see Brian still going strong.

    I was somewhat of a Stray CAts fan back in the day when I first saw them debut on MTV. But it was a live version of Rumble In Brighton that really turned me into a Setzer fan. Great video, Fil. Thanks for doing an analysis on Brian and pointing out his abilities.

    In a college band, I sang and played guitar on a couple Stray Cats tunes (current hits at the time). I was able to mimic just enough of Setzer's licks to satisfy drunk college parties. I remember thinking "if I stick with this, in a couple years I could play like him". Ah, the foolishness of youth! I did stick with it but I'm not even on the same planet as Setzer was back then - and he's even better now. Check out his Christmas Rocks Tour - spectacular band and mind blowing guitar work.

    I got the chance to see the Stray cats live in the 80's backing up SRV. Was never a fan of their style of music until I saw them live, and they were surprisingly excellent! Besides Setzer, they had only a stand up bass player and a drummer that had a snare drum and a cymbal... that;s it. A lot of fun to watch live, and a lot of talent!

    I got the Brian Setzer Orchestra Live in Japan DVD. Amazing performance throughout!

    As I've mentioned on here many times , I grew up as a teen in the 80s, so the 80s genre of music IS my fav music of all time . It was so varied too! We had grunge, pop, funk, rock, classic rock, rockabilly, metal and disco, all within that one decade! It was so awesome! I love your diverse coverage of so many different artists and styles!

    BEEN A FAN OF HIS FROM DAY ONE. HE IS UNBELIEVABLE .

    Brian is one of the most underappreciated guitarists. He also plays banjo, upright bass and I think piano as well. Thank you for this analysis.

    I love that Dave Edmunds resurrected American rockabilly like the days of Rick Nelson and James Burton, also producing the Stray Cats. Love the variety of music you analyze, Fil!

    If I could only listen to one player, it would be Brian! He was the first one to get me to open my ears to other styles. In the early eighties I was stuck in the Zep, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Van Halen etc like every other teen. And then the Stray Cats popped up on MTV and I couldn't get enough of the Setzer sound! Saved me from the Metallica band wagon that everyone was on in the eighties. Thanks so much for showcasing this great talent!

    Saw the Stray Cats reunion show in Dayton, Ohio a few years ago, in a smaller venue. Their energy and talent rocked it hard as it did decades ago. For my money, simply the best.

    My first concert was the Stray Cats live at the Hollywood Palladium, 1982! AMAZING CONCERT! I was hooked on live music from that day on! Brian Setzer has always been high on my list of favorite guitar players.

    Awesome!! I saw a vid of one of his neighbors and he said he sees Brian walking his dog and he dresses just like he does on stage with the hair and tatoos! He really is that guy! Thanks again Fil,

    Hi Fil, I was watching The Rolling Stones - From The Vault- The Marquee - Dead Flowers - Live 1971. Watching Mick Taylor's finger work and picking is a thing of beauty as he does it so effortlessly. Brian Setzer is timeless and a master of music.

    "Brian's got the technique, if he wanted to, to melt your face!" Oh yes he does! Great line,appropriately used!

    Love your reactions when Brian makes those transitions. Brian Setzer was always underrated except by those of us who absolutely loved what he brought to 80's punk. He made rockabilly super cool in an era when a lot of us were trying to distance ourselves from our parent's music.
