- Dick Clark Interviews Stray Cats at American Bandstand 1982. The band consists of guitarist/vocalist Brian Setze, bassist Lee Rocker, and Slim Jim Phantom on drums.
I WAS watching TV in late 82, when i saw them on TV. I was 17 and playing guitar. When i saw them , i was in in a trance. I was totally floored. They looked different, sounded different than the bands of the day and bands i was into. Van Halen, AC DC, Rush, etc. Later that afternoon walked down to my local record store and found one copy of BUILT FOR SPEED. This was the type of music my parents grew up on! I even changed my clothes and hair, i loved their sound and style so much.
Dave Edmunds production
OMG look how young they are!! They’re the best!
Go go cats. You are legendary Brian Lee and Jim. The whole package no competition.
That double bass really does sound great for their band. It wouldn't be the same without it.
It's always the food that brings them back ;-) Going to England was an unexpectedly great move because they did find a producer like Dave Edmunds who was sympathetic to their style of music and technical enough to help them recreate and update that Rockabilly sound.
we love our rockabilly here
I played guitar with Dave Edmunds in a pub once. I knew the landlord and Dave was sitting at the bar having a quiet pint. Some guy was getting on Dave's nerves saying how rock stars are too precious (not about Dave, but about others who Dave has worked with) so the landlord offered us a guitar each to basically just drown the guy out, so we jammed for a bit and Dave said to me "you're not a bad player". That's my claim to fame. I didn't know a huge amount him at the time, I'm ashamed to say, but am astounded by what he's done. Had I known the full extent at the time then I wouldn't have played a note. My favourite band is the Beatles. My favourite guitar player is Jeff Beck. Dave's played with Jeff, Paul, George and Ringo and many many others.
Stray Cats ...STRUT...ROCK jam kill it
GOATS ...GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

The microphone of the presenter is a candle!
Brian was born in Massapequa. NY.
great
How cute were they then
Brian so cool💙💘hand in pocket
Sweet❤
baby stray kittens
Awww
Too damn hot bri❤❤❤
I always forget they're from New York until I hear them speak lol.
let's be clear, Long Island may be in NY, but they are not NYC! Anyone know what part of The Island they are from? save me a google tangent...
@@bpmrox Massapequa.
The Long Island accents are thick!
they had to go to england to get gigs that shows they were ahead of their time the usa was not ready fo rockabilly swing rock band in the early 80;s
The Stray Cats owe their fame to the great Dave Edmunds. Watch his videos.
"I miss the food, especially." After an England visit i can attest to that. LOL... But the fish & chips was excellent!
How good was Dick Clark at what he did? Damn.
I beg to differ, look up the interview he did with Pink Floyd 1967
@@emerckx53 good one grandpa
Geez! He looks so innocent lol.
You know I'm a metalhead but these guys were great musicians I was really surprised cuz I was there and I had forgotten
How’d u forget 😂 also you’re very lucky, I wish u could’ve seen them at their peak
@@Freetown00 the '80s was a wild time we looked really fast back then there was a lot of drugs in our culture but we pulled through it somehow but not all of our memories intact
Love Brians acquired Brit accent 😍
So coolxxx💗
Brian doesn't have a British accent
Really? I'm from London and he sounds totally Long Island to me.
Brian looks good here
Hot xx
Sexy setz ❤❤❤
Back in the 80s and 90s, the food actually was better in the US, but that changed around 2000.
Food was never better in states. Brit food is far better.
Can anyone tell me about a concert they did with INXS in Portland, Oregon back in the day? Maybe May '83, but I could have the mth/year wrong. Need info for research I'm doing.
you can get a hint of english accent in there voices!!
Derran Brownson well that's non-rhotic New York and the rest of New England dialect, not Brits.
and it's spelled "their".
Hey, it happens. When youre in a area for a minute, itll happen 😁
They are full Americans apparently.
as a Brit I heard a touch of the English accent creeping into Lee Rocker's voice.
They don't think so, and they record sales haven't shown that.
GOD ALMIGHTY Long Islander with a pseudo Brit accent.. and Brian looks just like Roger Taylor!
Bri is gorgeous ❤❤
I'm from London. Believe me, he has no trace of any kind of British accent.
Maybe it's just better enunciated Long Island? ☺️
"Missed the food especially" Yeah looks like it, he's as skinny as a rake!!
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn I just think he meant what he said he missed the USA food
Why does it sound like they have slight British accents
Because they lived in England for a while when they were trying to make it big
@@ShiroiTengu they were not just trying, they made it very big in England and all Europe
For some reason their accents sounded British for a second. Then again they mostly recorded in England
No, they're from Long Island. They don't sound English at all.

Brian is so hot
Elvis is from the US and was first popular in the US. Rock and Roll started in the US. I'm not saying that English Rock bands are worse than American bands, but rock has just as many, if not more fans in the US
WHY don't they actually show the group's act in addition to Dick's mostly awkward interviews of these great bands ??
Dog house bass!!!!! Lamo
Dude has his Walmart pants on😜
He sounds like a New Yorker, not British.
Like their French accents. J/K. Like their NY accent. Too bad as they grew up they dropped their accents and got more LA or West Coast sounding.
Who the hell is Stray Cast and Clard Dick?
Why do they sound so British haha
They lived in the UK. My bros step-daughter move to the south for a while, when she came back, developed a strong southern accent.
They don't. They sound like they're from Long Island.
Sorry I meant SUCK
