@@user-nh8dj2ie6e I guess. But in any case”best of” listings, he’s never in the top 20. And I would happily argue he should be. He makes it look effortless when playing. And as a guitar player, nothing he does is that.
Interesting enough, if you listen carefully, you might discover that the Stray Cat Strut originally came out decades before the Stray Cats changed the lyrics. It was originally a children’s tune called “The Cat Came Back”.
I was a teenager when they broke onto the scene and thought their sound was so amazing, and all with three simple instruments... Love that rockabilly sound...
Rockabilly - created by the King at Sun Studio, Memphis, in 1954. Five years before Setzer was born. His is a mixture of punk and rockabilly, so not really rockabilly. Much too loud and distorted. Still, a great guitarist.
and it isn't recorded in mono single track, the sound is way more dense than actual 50s records. That is also why live concerts in the 50s were SO good. Real sound, not a tin can sound de-tuned for car stereos and a single 8 ohm dash mounted speaker.
@@SuperChuckRaney Yup, studio recordings were "compressed" for AM radio because of the bandwidth issue. Then FM came along and made a vast improvement of the frequency range of the broadcasted tune, but people needed good equipment to take advantage of the FM signal. In the old days of the first FM radio music, most cars couldn't take advantage of it, but homes did a lot better. Just IMHO.
They werent underrated ever, to be clear this song is inducted a years ago in top 50 songs in rock and roll history, top 50!!! How many bands have such song?
He isn't underrated as he is widely considered - both by fellow musicians and rock 'n' roll fans alike - to be one of the great rock 'n' roll guitarists alive. He's also won THREE grammys.
I know, just 3 guys on a big otherwise empty stage, no 3 backup singers, no 6 dancers, no fancy staging to lift them into the air, no pyrotechnics, yet it looks like a great entertaining performance. It doesn't look like the crowd feels cheated.
Wow man this is Awesome! I remember these guys as a kid but now being 50 its so great they kept Old School alive with a 3 piece band and those instruments.
Brian Setzer has to be one of the most underated guitarists of all time. The musical ability and showmanship of these 3 guys is a pleasure to watch. Rocking a town near you soon......
You cannot get closer to Rockabilly than the Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats. These guys single handedly kept Rockabilly alive and their live shows were always on point! And Brian Setzer is an amazing guitarist AND singer! Just so much talent!
"You cannot get closer to Rockabilly..." Bullshit! Listen to Elvis Sun recordings. That's 70 years ago and none beats it. Try and see the bigger picture not what is in front of your nose.
I love these live takes of the Stray Cats. To this day, Leon Drucker/Lee Rocker plays bass uncredited on loads of stuff, especially upright acoustic bass. His slapping compensates for the lack of a full drum kit, and the backbeat that He and Slim Jim Phantom generate in this vid is incredible. It allows Brian Setzer free range on the guitar. Playing a semi-acoustic guitar live at volume is a sound guy's nightmare, but Setzer is in total control of his instrument. Add that to the sheer energy of the song, Setzer's singing, and the showmanship of this trio, and it's what live music is all about. I know loads of people who wouldn't give the time of day for Rockabilly generally, but they love the Stray Cats, and that's all you need to know!
This is what real rocknroll looks like. Stand up drumming, never-miss bass, and Setzer plays a Gretsch. A Gretsch! So sorry I never saw these guys live. I'm 72, but when I grow up I want to be Brian Setzer. Or at least play guitar as well as he does.
Holy mother of God.....forgot about these boys......NEVER AGAIN.....DAMN......im dancing on the ceiling folks......now thats raw talent......JESUS.....
Saw them 30 yrs ago as a young Billy..........moving on...baldness, grey hair and a few pounds around the waist they took me back to some bloody fond memories..........bring it back again Cats !
Singing,playing rhythm & lead guitar one after the other & sometimes at the same time?? He really is an underrated guitarist!!! Rare,absolutelly rare!!
I love it, and loved it, no props, fancy lights or costumes, they just let the music do the talking, and did it ever do the talking, I mean, that Guitar work stops you dead in your tracks.
Met the guts a few years ago , Farewell Tour Europe... Slim Jim broke his arm the night before in London.... I had a hotel room in the Marriot beside the Manchester Academy.... I was there for their concert , anyway I came out the lift and saw Brian and Lee go to the bar and i was star struck. I had been listening to them since I was born .. my father is a rocker... I followed them and I got the better of myself and said to Brian that I was very sorry about Lee.... long story short , he bought me a drink then invited me to join them for fish and chips and pink champagne... and got rat arsed .. what a night.

Simple, it isn't. I like older stuff too but that's because that's the music I was listening to when I was a kid. You'll always like that music more than anything. Music hasn't really changed much. Pop has become bigger than ever, but other than that...
One the proudest moments in my life Opening for these guys in London Ontario Dr Rockets. If you ever get the chance you'll never see a better natureal Bbopper rockabilly guitarist!!!!! Brain Setzer!!!!!!!!
PEOPLE RAVE ABOUT GUITAR PLAYERS AND RIGHTLY SO. BUT MR SETZER IS TOP 10 IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PLAY ROCK A BILLY THE SPEED AND THE CONTENT HE DOES HES JUST A SUBLIME GUITAR PLAYER STRAY CATS ROCK 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😎🤣🎩♥️⚡👑🦁🐯🦁🐯🦁🐯🦁🐯
It was obviously summer, I had just turned 14 (1981), the jukebox started up, this song was revealed, and so began a long love story. 42 years of happiness thank you Tomcats. //// C'était l'été évidemment, je venais d'avoir 14 ans (1981), le juke-box s'est mis en marche, cette chanson s'est dévoilée, ainsi commença une longue histoire d'amour. 42 années de bonheur merci les Matous.
i seen them in Moncton in 89 they opened for SRV on his last tour before he was killed and to be honest i was blown away, they were awesome. Glad i got to see Stevie Ray on his last tour too !!
So talented so unique no one can copy the Stray Cats or their explosive energy on stage Sezter looks and sings like Eddie Cochran's love child and plays the guitar with just as much skill as the late and great EC.
I got hooked on Rock n Roll/Rockabilly listening to my dad's records as a kid in the 70's. Still rockin at 48.Saw them live at The Palace in the very early 90's. One of the best concerts I've ever been to, they did three encores and the crowd still couldn't get enough. A great night, I'll never forget it. Thanks for the upload Mr Sloth.
Went to see them in 1981/82 Royal court Liverpool all the seats got ripped out total mayhem what a fantastic gig so exciting the music and band fantastic
I love Brian as much as Eddie Cochran...and Brian got to play him in a film. Magnificent. Forever Eddie and Brian's songs will be loved. I wish I could see Brian in person. The God of rock
I saw an interview where Brian stated the Stray Cats were the best in the world at what they do. I assumed he was an egomaniac trying to get attention. Then I saw the band in the final tour in the Twin Cities. Brian, Lee and Jim proved Brian was simply telling the truth! It ain't bragging if you can really do it. Thanks for the great music guys!
Back in the days when these guys got hot I played in a cover band that played all of the "hip" rock stuff. This was the early '80s, so we had to play all of the "new wave" stuff. Being a Texas guitar player I was always glad to be playing The Stray Cats stuff because their guitar stuff was what we all grew up playing here. "OK, this is the fun stuff!"
Saw them back in height of their popularity, this video shows the same energy they had back then. I was blown away at how 3 guys could simply play with no gimmicks and the crowd went wild!
funny how they kicked ass along side some of the best rock bands to ever grace the air waves in the 80s. Still great with the resurgence of the rockabilly movement.
@Big Bill O'Reilly There's always some idiot out there who wants to make it about politics. "Trump type of comment?" I don't think so. They ARE that good. So give it a rest already, idiot!
strays cats fan from first hour !! Brian setzer are King from gêneration rockabilly music , after mr Eddy cochran r.i.p. thats is legends from very long time. jackyfan 👍
I saw the stray cats in London twice, last time was 2019, took my 19 year old daughter, and she loved it, when they came on stage the whole place went wild. lucky it wasn't 2020 . Brilliant show, hope they tour again
Three guys and a bunch of gear that fits in a station wagon making better music than bands with 100x the stuff.
Best coment. And Brian plays fantastic.
Nunca pasará de moda Rock and roll forever ❤
Those dual ampeg stacks say otherwise, but great sentiment
Setzer was one of the greatest guitarists that never got recognized for it.
Ok. Possibly the most underrated guitar player??? Fn insane how good he is.
People don't realize just how hard this song really is to play on a guitar.
Brian Setzer is not underrated he's just not well known enough

No gimmicks, no need for stage effects ...just pure talent !!!
I agree they are brilliant
No auto-tune😏
Lol define "gimmick." I see a shit ton of gimmicks... and LOVE ALL OF EM!!!
@@DouglasLippi They should put some energy into the performance though, it's pretty laid back.

Wow, okay thanks. I'm going to look for it. 😊
the 6-minute answer to the question: define rockabilly
Saw him in Cleveland about a month ago. 90 minutes of non-stop energy. That Cat can play!
Love these guys immediately when they came out!!! The bass player is amazing.
The chemistry in their sound is unserpassable.The very best at what they do IMO.Its not just Setzer.....it all fits together brilliantly.
Brian Setzer: Most underrated Guitarist of all time.
Not in my book he 'aint

Aiden Robinson cracking guitar always loved this song live so many versions.

Buy a dictionary and look up the word underrated,cause underrated he's not
So many different kinds of music and fashions. The good days 😊👍

Amen to that!
👍👍

Probably around 50, unless some bands have more than one on that list.
Hey champ, you missed a zero. One of the top 500 most influential according to R&R Hall of Fame.
The tightest band out there, love Rockabilly. No-One else can nail it like the Stray Cats
Brian Setzer is one of the most under-rated guitarists alive. He simply kicks ass !
Dennis Simmers He has always been A FREAKIN ' KICK AZZ , BAD AZZ !!! UNDERRATED !!!!
He isn't underrated as he is widely considered - both by fellow musicians and rock 'n' roll fans alike - to be one of the great rock 'n' roll guitarists alive. He's also won THREE grammys.
Go check out some of Jerry Reed's stuff. He puts EVERYBODY to shame and nobody knows of him unless you mention "Snowman".
@@madonnapitney7289- true but he got CRAZY good after attending Guitar Institute of technology in California.
Dennis Simmers In my opinion.. He was so much better than Eddie Van Halen
How 3 guys can make such an amazing sound is beyond me!
Because they are fucking good !!!
Effects help, but I totally get your point! They sound fantastic!
I know, just 3 guys on a big otherwise empty stage, no 3 backup singers, no 6 dancers, no fancy staging to lift them into the air, no pyrotechnics, yet it looks like a great entertaining performance. It doesn't look like the crowd feels cheated.
HUMIDITY IS BEYOND YOU Skippy! AMAZING MUSICIANSHIP borders in the MAGICAL expectrum.IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BEYOND YOU
Clyde Cavalieri and HOW does sn audience look when they ARE disappointed? 😂 😂
Hated them when they first came out. Was into Crue, scorpions, Ozzy but I can appreciate them now and see how narrow minded I was.
Same here.
Can't deny quality music.x
Daniel Carrasco .....it takes a real mature man to admit that.
The Scorpions? Come on dude...
Have you broadened your mind?

Seen them live - 2x!
Buenísimo
Rockabilly music is still alive and kickin'! Just turned 50 a couple of months ago and I agree! Love the "chicken pickin'" technique he has!
I'd give my right arm to able to play like Setzer! Oh, wait a minute.
Flash back to the eighties with '50 music...LOVE IT!!!! Brian Setzer,...you ROCK!!!
Yea, it’s the mid 2020’s and watching an 80’s band sounding like the 50’s. What a mashup.
If I tried to dance to this sped up version, I'd be dead in less than a minute. I love it!!!

That's a lovely clean guitar sound. The Dude can play. Seriously, he's class. And that Band is putting a real show on. This judge gives them: 10/10!
Brian is a brilliant guitar player.....rock this town 4 ever
Incredibly soulful, creative, honest and 100% ORIGINAL. There is nothing else like em.... Thank God for the Stray Cats🐈😻🐈⬛
Saw these guys about 100 times during the 80s. There still BAD ASS!
Singing,playing rhythm & lead guitar one after the other & sometimes at the same time?? He really is an underrated guitarist!!! Rare,absolutelly rare!!
I agree!! But not underrated with people that truely appreciate music at this level of raw!! ✌🏼
Jim Heath also do this btw
Brian's playing has got both the dirt and the briliance. Thats what real RnR is made of.
How could they do at that time and bring us back to the 50s while we were in 80s till now....timeless Rockabilly. Hat off to you all....Stray cats.
Don't need no fancy crap just 3 guys who can play ..
That slap bass kills me every time! I love these guys.
So true

Thats great!!!

Saw them 2 times on stage, in the 80's: Ass kicking !
How lucky you are!
I've Seen them in Amsterdam. Lucky me.
just incredible! I'm old enough to remember them from the start, I liked them then, I love them even more now.
yes, me too.
ストレイキャッツ、高校生の頃、毎日聞いていた。髪は薄く腹は太くなっているけど、演奏は渋みが増してる。良い年の取り方をしたんだなあ。やっぱカッコイイ。

Stray cats I heard for the first time 41 years ago
It was like electricity was flowing through my body
You could put all their instruments in the back of a pickup truck, but they make one hell of a BIG sound!
Brilliant .. Always thought of them as a Fad/gimmick band ... ffwd a few decades & wow .. that was fkn great. Fantastic musicians.
They came into a time of stuff like Culture Club and Bananarama. Difficult times for all ;)
