I was a runaway boy at 15 /16 took me to various jails where i lost nearly 20 of my life. My constant companion and ultimate saviour.... MUSIC. Now 62 with Parkinsons disese ... Music....still my saviour.
I was 16 and a rockabilly in 1980 and used to go to a pub in Hockley Birmingham called The Trees ( sadly no longer around) I took this in and got it played by the d j. Unfortunately the Ted's took exception to it and snapped it in two. A few weeks later and it was the most popular track in the place and the Ted who had snapped it weeks before had gone a bought it himself. Always knew I was right😂😂
As a skinhead in the late 70s and early 80s I had to keep my love for this band a secret from my skinhead pals lol . To be honest , I think all my pals probably felt the same , and why not ? . A great band and great tunes .
LOL exactly the same mate... although it was dancing to Since You've Bin Gone by Rainbow at the local disco that was the real problem both the skins and greasers wanted to beat me up! P.S. Check out The Skabilly Rebels best of both worlds...
Well I live in the Shires of the UK and I was a rockabilly Kat hanging out with Skins, Mods and Punks and went to the same venues, and this was late 70's early 80's.
As 15/16 year old, I was into two tone, but I also loved my new wave, punk, electronic, reggae, you name it, we had it all. This was and still is one of the best guitar tunes ever!
1st video filmed at the old 'Tram Shed' (now gone) in Woolwich where I used to live. Remember being a huge early and young fan, seeing their gig poster outside but too young to get in. For decades thought the lyric "Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same" was "who's an ordi-cordi man who's always the same" how I laughed later, duh 🥴
Loved this band growing up. Rockabilly was all the fashion growing up, there was a lot of bands choosing to emulate all these 50's artists at the tale end of the 70's into the 80's. Still sounds cool all these years on...
He was a big fan of Scotty Moore Elvis's guitarist and Later song of the Stray Cats was the train keeps rolling paying tribute to the other Sun records artist and Sam Phillips. If anybody gets the chance listen to it brilliant song
Back here again love the stray cats songs. Love the legendary Stray Cats kings of rockabilly no competition. The whole package. Still love stray cats in 2023 and beyond. ❤
I am a 53 year old punk, and I love Stray Cats.... I know I'd have been a rocker if there hadn't been any alternative! I love my music,but for an old punk, I have a very versatile choice in music.Life would be shite otherwise!! 👍❤️👌😀
Why would you limit yourself to ONE music genre ? Variety of interests is a sign of openmindedness so i congratulate you 👏 As far as i 'm concerned , i enjoy Stray Cats as well as Philippe Jaroussky
Le premier album des Stray Cats a révolutionné le début des années 80, les titres étaient terribles, une musique de fou, de qualité, 3 musiciens hors du commun.
This song appeared for the first time on Suomen-TV in the Levyraati program. It was something great and wonderful. I went to Tampere in a cafe called Raatihuone with my best childhood friend Pasi"Patze" to listen to this song on the jukebox, because otherwise I couldn't listen to the song. I will never forget this.
Les Stray Cats des légendes je les ai vu des quantités de fois à l époque pas si lointaine années 80 jmetai fait la coupe a Brian j'ai cru que mon père allait s evanouir il était policier mais après père grand mère et mère tout le monde aimaient. Brian est un guitariste de génie et ces musiciens batteur et contrebasse des vrais génies intemporel.
I was 10 when I first heard the cats. Loved it as soon as I heard it and still do. Proper music by a proper band. They don't make em like they used to. Thank god for radio 2 and other alternative stations, that you can escape the utter shite that is about today😍
Saw The Stray Cats at the now defunct Venue in London, in December 1980. They were fabulous. Brian Setzer was the missing link between Scotty Moore and Eddie Cochran. He still remains a fantastic guitarist. A fantastic song from a long-vanished period in pop music.
Loved this band and still do. Good ole Rockabilly... Still got my 45's too. This is my favourite and was 15 years old when this was released in the UK. Just timeless 👌
One of the first 45's I bought. Still remember headbanging to it in front of my bemused parents when I was about 11/12 years old. Still sounds awesome!!
I heard them in an endless loop while I was preparing my exams back in 1981 ! it is still very refreshing and as pleasant to listen to that it was at this time ....
no way, being a greaser is a way of life just cars, beer and cunts. No shit like politics, being vegetarian or sissy stuff, it's demodé in a world of sissies
when you are sad , just play this loud ,and it will make you feel good just like the sun is out and you feel happy and good , enjoy your life as you only have one go at it so enjoy life love and peace to all 22/10/20 :)
It's been about 20 years since I listed to the stray cats. Today I started again, at the his song my indoor cat started singing along! He never has done that and I'm a RU-vid music junkie! So crazy
I was already going to the rock and roll / rockabilly kind of music, but this one give me the kick in the butt and I am still a rock and roll / rockabilly fan...
