Not enough people realize the caliber of Brian Setzer as a guitarist. He is one of the finer axemen of the rock world. Add to that his showmanship, and a superior voice, and the guy is a total package.
This guy never ceases to amaze me so talented great entertainer remarkable musician his creative music talent he shares with us lucky fans exciting and his energy is contagious keep on rocking towns around the globe we admire and enjoy what you bring bucket list !!!! Hell ya!!!
He's my guitar hero. I mean, aside from all that, he's just a total professional. The amount of work and discipline it takes to tour an orchestra these days is insane.
I grew up a rocker metal head and cared not for the Stray cats. About ten yrs ago I starting really liking this music ,actually I love it ,HalleluYAH! I am 53 yrs old by the way.
I played guitar for about forty years. I wasn’t great, and outright terrible at cover tunes. The only solo I ever learned off a record was Brian’s on Stray Cat Strut. That thing is a work of genius, it changes scales, keys, and he even throws in a few diminished chords for good measure. Incredible stuff, and years before he got around to this
The brass arrangement on this is INSANE! Also he doesn’t get the credit he deserves as a guitarist. Also this drummer hits the accents so perfectly. And that drum solo!!!!
My 4yr old autistic nephew just LOVES when I play anything BS...or 'swing' music.....his smile will light up a room like daylight... I've always loved the Stray Cats....and this orchestra...kills it...love them. I'd love to see them live...please come to Nebraska
My dad took me to turning stone casino to see Brian when I was 12 years old , I was front row and almost touched his shoes lol! I’ll never forget that moment.. stray cats and him are just beyond amazing
The King of Rockabilly Guitar. A true performer and entertainer. A idol and inspiration for millions of musicians. The OG Rebels 🤘Metalheads incarnations of the Teddy Boys. 🏴☠️🤘🇦🇺
I’ve seen The Stray Cats, his big band and two Christmas shows!! Brian and his band are one of, if not, the best live shows you’ll ever have the pleasure of witnessing 🤘🏻🎸...
I, too, saw the Stray Cats (opening for the Rolling Stones), the Orchestra doing a regular show and then the Christmas show. Also caught his Rockabilly Riot tour in 2019. You are right, he is just amazing live and people who haven't seen him are missing out.
This big band is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Brian S can play that guitar! This is a lot of music rehearsals/arrangements AND HARD WORK. The sound is soooooooooooooo good.
Brian has such a monopoly on that style, both covering classic songs, or just swinging up his original Stray Cat songs. Anyone trying to break into that genre would immediately be condemned as a copy cat. There was a brief swing revival in the 90's, but that only gave more recognition to Brian. Those bands went extinct while Brian prevailed. He owns that style now. And he earned it! Do what you love and you'll never work a day in you life!
Brian is soooooo good. But his true genius is surrounding everything he does with pure talent, rhythm, timing, dynamism....just pure fun rock. Come back to Australia please Brian
Got to see Brian and the BSO for their Christmas show a few years ago. Amazing show, had a great time. Just last year, got to see The Stray Cats and that show looked like the boys were having a great time performing together.
I use to move their equipment around the world in the 80s. Great guy ....pulled my wife and I on stage at MTV New Year's Eve on national television. My phone was ringing for days.
Forever a huge fan of Brian Setzer. To this day, the Stray Cats show i saw in 1984 will forever be my favorite concert of all time. I've seen Kiss in 77, Ozzy with Randy Rhodes, and all versions of metallica, and that threesome kicked all their asses 🤘
You Rock Brian! You are amazing! One the best 🎸 guitarist in the world! I've been watching you play since 1988, I had just came out of a 6 month Coma I saw you in the movie La Bamba as, Eddie Cochran after that I was hooked on wanting to learn to play like you & now I've been playing your music for 24 year. Thank you Brian you are truly an inspection I always wanted to sound like you & play like you as well, you are truly amazing, I can play songs similar to you, ,& sound extremely close but in my eyes I could not play identical to you the Rockabilly king, & king of Swing thank you again Brian.
Yeah. He's able to keep it swinging with a ride pattern. It's the second stroke that is getting accented. Not an amateur move. Most guys would just train beat the thing with alternate sticking.
Saw Brian in the Stray Cats days, big band era and just after he ditched the big band and went back to the 3 man combo (him, bass and drums). Every time a great show! Love it!
Brian Setzer no desperdicia una sola nota en la guitarra, tiene el mérito de conocer y estudiar a todos los principales guitarristas del rock & roll, agregando a su propio estilo, es lo que lo hace un gran guitarrista. Bien por la banda de metales!
Holy mother trucker!! How the farfagnugen did I miss this? I am a old school metal maniac, but, before there was metal, there was rock, and before there was rock there was a convergence....and this is it! I do not care what you call it this it is freaking METAL!! Now if you can imagine this with a follow up performance with Dick Dale....
Brian Setzer le meilleur est toujours par sont art le rockabilly guitariste meilleur du monde et sans égale et chanteur incroyable le plus grand j'ai été parfois jusqu' à tokio pour le voir . Hé Brian est super coolll un type sensationnel. J aurai aimé être un Brian Setzer jsuis dvenu cascadeur.

Amen!
I saw both his rockabilly riot tour as well as the christmas extravaganza , best shows ever !!
This guy never ceases to amaze me so talented great entertainer remarkable musician his creative music talent he shares with us lucky fans exciting and his energy is contagious keep on rocking towns around the globe we admire and enjoy what you bring bucket list !!!! Hell ya!!!
Exactly!!
Criminally underated
Consummate showman. Guitar virtuoso. Amazing talent. Rockabilly KING!!!
Its criminal that him and his orchestra are not in the hall of fame.
My post always is the same
Rock Hall is a joke
Thank god that people like Brian Setzer, The Cherry Poppin' Daddys and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are keeping this kind of music alive.
He's an exceptional guitar player but he's also got great stage presence and always always looks like he's loving the show.
He's my guitar hero. I mean, aside from all that, he's just a total professional. The amount of work and discipline it takes to tour an orchestra these days is insane.
SO TALENTED
I grew up a rocker metal head and cared not for the Stray cats. About ten yrs ago I starting really liking this music ,actually I love it ,HalleluYAH! I am 53 yrs old by the way.

Playing with the tuning DURING the song. Brian Setzer is a freaking BEAST.
I think he did that tuning thing in other venues on this song. I am guessing he was lowering the bass strings to get a lower note.
Who cares to be honest. To retune, MID-SOLO without missing a beat? MAD SKILLS!!
His E string was dropped to a D note
My 4yr old autistic nephew just LOVES when I play anything BS...or 'swing' music.....his smile will light up a room like daylight... I've always loved the Stray Cats....and this orchestra...kills it...love them. I'd love to see them live...please come to Nebraska
God bless mr Setzer. We love stray CATS 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾
Brilliant musician with a voice that still holds up. Awesome talent!
Setzer is a musical genius!
How many guitarists retune mid-solo without missing a beat? Extraordinary! 😃
My dad took me to turning stone casino to see Brian when I was 12 years old , I was front row and almost touched his shoes lol! I’ll never forget that moment.. stray cats and him are just beyond amazing
Wauuuu😳
What a joy seeing this guy playing a guitar. Definitly a great guitar man.
I COULD WATCH THIS BUGGER ALL NIGHT. HE IS JUST SENSATIONAL. THATS WHAT YOU CALL CHARISMA FOLKS. FAB!
That’s the king of rockabilly right there!
03:56 "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it"
Brilliant😂
Absolutely genius I've been following Brian setzer for three decades and the band he has behind them is just top

A very great guitarist with a lot of humility !
Such a great showman, guitarist, singer, and band leader!
One of the most underrated guitarists in the world! I've been a fan since the 80's. Phenomenal ❤❤❤❤
Ich liebe Brain Setzer, eines der genialsten Musiker unserer Zeit

The World needs more shout choruses! Thanks Brian!
I've seen him twice. Once was New Year's Eve at The House of Blues on Sunset in the mid 1990s. What a show! What a guitarist! What an entertainer!
Brian can bring the house down! He can play the guitar fantastic!
Absolutely!!
Bigband : SOLID !!!
Brian !!! You're the Boss
Double bass player is a legend !!
Lee Rocker..
Jammed with Brian at the 93' name show in Anaheim, Gretsch booth..life changing.
Forever a huge fan of Brian Setzer. To this day, the Stray Cats show i saw in 1984 will forever be my favorite concert of all time. I've seen Kiss in 77, Ozzy with Randy Rhodes, and all versions of metallica, and that threesome kicked all their asses 🤘

I can’t believe I missed him back in 2017 hope he comes back Las Colonias Amphitheater Grand Junction Colorado 🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸
That drummer's left hand shuffle is great
Yeah. He's able to keep it swinging with a ride pattern. It's the second stroke that is getting accented. Not an amateur move. Most guys would just train beat the thing with alternate sticking.
Brian setzer is just an amazing guitarist... I love just watching him play
this guy life history ...is a great great example of perseverance and strength good example for all ages FIGHT TO ARCHIVE...all the best for u B.S

Holy mother trucker!! How the farfagnugen did I miss this? I am a old school metal maniac, but, before there was metal, there was rock, and before there was rock there was a convergence....and this is it! I do not care what you call it this it is freaking METAL!! Now if you can imagine this with a follow up performance with Dick Dale....
Can´t believe he´s got an actual Roland Space Echo 201 Tape Delay unit behind him as his live stage delay unit.
It´s just so cool.
