Paul, If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to check out Faibles Femmes (aka Three Murderesses). Delon stars in it alongside the stunning Mylène Demongeot, just saw this one recently, t's a real gem! Keep up the amazing work!
Another great classic paired with cool movie images! You should be working on movie soundtracks, Paul! You have an incredible feel for the right music with the right images, i'm always impressed by your edits! John Cassavetes was such a great actor and director, i really appreciate his work. Have you seen 'Crime in The Streets (1956)' where he plays a James Dean like street gang leader character and Sal Mineo acts as his sidekick? The initial rumble scene could provide for a great video, maybe you could pair it up with 'Gangwar' by Gene Maltais or any other kick ass song from that era.
Great video, Paul! You're nailing on these colorizations. Self was a wild man, so much raw energy, i only imagine how outrageous this sounded to the most conservative 50's folks. RIP Ronnie
Cheers Fernando! You're right, the quote from Blade Runner "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly," could definitely be applied to Ronnie Self 💔
Wow! Another home run in video & music matching! Fabulous images and music! As someone fascinated with 50s and 60s instrumentals, can't believe i've never listened this one, a true masterpiece. You're really nailing on these colorizations Paul, the tone looks real good, unlike others i've seen that people look orange.
Cheers Fernando! I remember my dad playing this when I was young. I love how it manages to combine soaring joy with a melancholic undertone. I know what you mean about the colorization problems. A few videos I've tried turned the people in to orange aliens only suitable for psychobilly projects!
Thanks Fernando! The Undertones were a great band. They were heavily influenced by 60s' garage rock and The Ramones. The movie as stood the test of time as a gentle comedy about teenage angst.
Great video, Paul! The pairing of 'Flyin' Saucers Rock and Roll' with Earth Vs the Flying Saucers is spot on. I think this is one of the first songs with that psychobilly aura all over it, right? Same as 'Love Me' by the Phantom, they sound more like something from the revivalist era rather than from the 50s for me. Hey Paul, i have another video suggestion-if you're up for it, how about making a video using 'Balboa Blue' by The Marketts and pairing it with footage from the amazing surf movie 'Riding Giants' (2004)? The first third of the movie, which shows legendary big wave rider Greg Noll & friends chasing for surf in Hawaii and living a carefree surfer lifestyle in the 50s, way before the hippie movement. Those images are really moving for any surfer, and 'Balboa Blue' has that same vibe for me. I can totally see it working!
Glad you enjoyed it Fernando. I think you're right about this and Love Me sounding as if they were not of their time. I think they were whispers from the future. Will definitely be giving Balboa Blue a go, cheers for the suggestion!
Cheers Fernando! I didn't know before doing research for this that members of a real-life biker gang, the Cut-Throats Division of the Iron Cross motorcycle club, were cast in the movie!
The film is very funny, in a dark way, Fernando, almost like Scream, but for the British gangster genre. The actors were all veterans of other serious gangster movies parodying their former roles. It is also one of the few films I've seen where the characters first names are those of the actors playing them.
Paul, you nailed it yet another one with this one! Your edit captures that vibe perfectly. Absolutely love it! The Cramps are just unbeatable! Lux Interior is one of the biggest geniuses in rock 'n' roll!
Thanks for your kind words Fernando! Yes, The Cramps are one of Rock 'n' Roll's best kept secrets. They influenced so many other bands and also raised the ghosts of forgotten music of the 50s and 60s from the vinyl dungeon. I would love to have Lux and Ivy's record collection!
@@Spratmac8wow! That must've been THE collection. I often think about how horror movies were important to punk and psychobilly music, and that in the 50s and early 60s Lux, Ivy, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, Glenn Danzig, Dave Vanian and the others were growing up miles and miles apart from each other and watching these B horror and sci-fi, like universal monsters and Ed Wood movies as kids, and it would be a major inspiration for the new musical wave and fashion aesthetics they all helped to create in mid to late 70s.
@@fernandomaron87 I think you have really hit on something there Fernando. I had never thought of the B movie genre as being an independent reality that could be inhabited by people from all around the world. When I was young in the late 70s there was a regular Friday night horror/sci-i double bill on UK TV which we eagerly devoured. I think you're right that this shared 'flimic conciousness' meant when punk/goth/psychobilly bands started referencing these movies they all spoke the same language, regardless of where they came from.
Paul, this tribute to the legendary Alain Delon is incredible, especially now that he just passed a few days ago. Thank you for creating this homage on your channel-it feels even more meaningful now. Delon looks so cool with that greaser style in the first scene at the jukebox, we can understand why they called him 'The French James Dean'. His career was truly impeccable, from the early 60s with Plein Soleil and Rocco and His Brothers to the 70s with Borsalino. A true legend with an incredible body of work that will always be remembered.
Thanks Fernando! You're right, he was a true great. Like Dean he was an outstanding physical actor, who spoke as much, if not more, through his movements and expressions, as he did through his line delivery. All actors are not born equally! 😎
Paul, this edit is absolutely killer! Pairing The Cramps' version of 'The Way I Walk' with the classic Frankenstein footage is genius. It’s got that raw, eerie energy that just elevates the whole vibe. The Cramps really are the best band in the world. This is especially inspiring for me since I'm in the middle of writing a Frankenstein short film. Your work really captures the timelessness of these characters. Keep it up!
Cheers Fernando! I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. I was looking for something horror themed to go with Cramps' The Way I Walk and thought 'which classic monsters are renowned for their walk?'. There were two candidates - The Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster. I went with Frankenstein's monster as Lux Interior would have been brilliant in the role. And, yes, as you say, The Cramps are the best band in the world. Looking forward to your Frank film
At :55 the drummer yelled F###! because he clicked his sticks together or dropped one, or something like that. He didn’t realize this was the only take they were going to do of the song.
Cheers Fernando! Some of the colourizations I have tried have done have been a bit hit and miss, but I thought this one worked well - I'm glad you felt the same way!
Thanks Fernando 🙏 he did indeed have great timing. The way he used the silent pause before delivering his lines to convey the character's angst was perfect.
Another amazing video! Thank you, my friend. I knew you would find the perfect score for it as usual. Never listened this song before, thank you for the introduction of it as well!
My new favorite Rockabilly song. I cannot find more than a couple sentences about the singer Tommy Bell...apparently cut only 2 records...so say the liner notes on the excellent boxed set, "Loud; Fast, and Out of Control."
Glad you enjoyed it. You're right, there's not a lot about Tommy bell out there. I did a video for his Midnight Dreams, which you see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IgwN2MteGeY.html Thank you for commenting 🙏
Penguin, Joker, and their goons were lucky that the reactor was not charging at that time or they could have met the same tragic demise that Molly had in the first episode. :(
