---Now this is an old song by Setzer and his 68 Comeback Special because this album came out back in '01, but I just wanted to post it to show off his incredible guitar slinging skills. TOTALLY under rated as a guitar player. This music is so much better than any of that electronic, synthesized junk they try to pass of as music today.
Long live the power of a 3 piece band and NO god damn keyboard players! Social D. does tour with a guy who does play the Hammond B3 Organ though, but there is a HUGE diff. between an organ and a damn keyboard. The Hammond Organ is from another time, a vintage monster, it is old school. For certain songs it totally compliments SD's playing style. They've been touring with the Organ for quite a while now and I hope they use it a lot more on the next album which should be out very early next year. OK, back to Setzer..........
Im no huge fan of the Stray Cats nor am I a huge fan of Setzer's solo stuff, but I think this video clip shows of his playing style really damn well.---

yea, he allright....
yeah his style is pretty unique, I wouldnt downplay him, even though Im no super fan.
I love a great guitar player about as much as I love any exceptional musician. Good creative, well executed music with real soul is hard to come by. But I have been fighting to make that point since high school. I'll never forget being told by one of EGHS's finest that "only faggets play key boards". If my memories serves me best this individual was often seen wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt... or may be it was an Arosmith t-shirt? Well, as you know it is some times hard to just let shit go.
thats the thing about Setzer. his timing and execution is just perfect. Its weird, he never really let that gem of a talent shine through when he was w/ The Cats but he gets out on his own and totally develops into one mean guitarist. I was watching a short video on him and his Rockabillly picking style and I just thought to myself, "Man when he got out on his own he got real serious about being a musician".
