Let's talk about something everyone would ignore. He's playing the HECK out of that bass, one of the best rhythm sections I've seen from modern bands, maybe the best!
Had this band been around in '66, they would have taken the world by storm, even in the face of stiff competition from the Yardbirds, the Leaves, the Remains and other top acts of the day. The Strypes have energy and musicianship well beyond most of the top 40 acts today. They will still get to the top, despite the presence of non-singers, non-musicians and brats who are the favourites of tweens, teens and people who mistake celebrity for talent.
Ron Roffel id say they had to much pub rock to be popular in the 60s I’d say they’d have been huge in the British pub rock scene alongside dr feel good or the inmates
no they wouldn't, those bands were a dime a dozen back then, do your research. just listen to any of the Pebbles or Rubble compilations, or countless other ones.
@@timothy790110 I have more than 2,500 singles and assorted LPs from the era, and lived through the period, so I know my stuff. Yes, garage bands were as you say "a dime a dozen", but the ones who made it like the Remains, the Seeds, the Leaves, ? and the Mysterians, etc., and made a mark, no matter how small, were not the norm. For every band of that calibre, there were hundreds of others struggling to make ends meet playing music. Most ended up like Mitch Ryder if they stuck with it long enough: he never made it past his one hit, but kept on going, decade after decade, searching for that next break. This is not to disparage his music, just that he is a good example of someone with more tenacity and drive than what the fickle radio/LP market usually wanted. so, I stand by my comment that this band would have made a mark on the music of the time.
Jools Holland - you just made my tv licence worth paying for! Get them back on the show PRONTO. For anyone who hasn't heard them yet, make a POINT of listening to their other numbers - class !
This is like the English second generation Mod bands of the late 70's - Long Tall Shorty for instance - good stuff! Close my eyes and I could be back in the Marquee in Wardour Street again!

They don't really sound like a 60s band, they just dress up like one
Ron Roffel also the remains had almost no success outside of the local area
