Trying to learn it as a lowish intermediate guitar player, it’s great to have this resource - it is an easy tune and a really difficult one at the same time. How he plays this so cleanly amazes me. The hybrid picking is very cool as well.
Yes stray cats should be recognised in the rock n roll hall of fame. They are legends in their own rights. They are the full package. No competition. Go go cats.
I've seen a lot of shows in my 46 years, but seeing Heat was the first time that within the week following I bought new bass strings, a new pedal and a new amp, cause I just wanted to play. I've seen great shows, orgasmic shows (Chuck Berry), but Heat was the first that was inspiring.
I sent Brian & The Tom Cats to London after Setzer asked me what he should do after American record company A&R guys had all told him, "We love your band, but we can't sell rockabilly in the '80s."
See now this would make a great bio pic. Back in america we believed in the UK as a place where music was king , and just like the beatles in germany you could make it. I hope some film student sees this and takes a chance on this true success story
Saw him in gent oooohh a few years ago, mostly psycho audience I think, for like 15 € , with a few hundred peeps max, amazing! Stray cats played a few months later..60€+
AL, one day with Freddie Mercury, can’t be mentioned ... it’s incomprehensible why AL is forcing this position ... can’t he be otherwise famous? Shameful! AL is just a fat clown with a good voice.
Awesome band absolutely love the cats! But a far cry from rockabilly more neo rockabilly even in the eighties it was classed as punkabilliy, well definitely in Sheffield UK it was, but still awsome👍
