Duane Eddy is sadly underrated. More people need to listen to him and should be just as revered as the other rock and roll legends. It’s sad that it’s really only him and Jerry Lee Lewis left
I just saw an interview with Ritchie Blackmore who recently received a guitar from his first idol, Duane Eddy. Pretty much tells you right there how his music inspired some of rocks biggest guitar legends.
I agree with you. I’ve always been a fan of Duane. Love his rendition of Peter Gun and Rebel Rouser. He didn’t the credit he should have. Great musician.
My late father gave me the joy of this music. It was the music of his youth not mine as I am “only ” 46. The music of the 50s and 60s was absolutely the best ever. My dad would have loved this as I do. The other thing I love about old time music artists like Duane Eddy is how humble and gracious they are despite how good they are and how much in reverence they are held by everyone. They just let their talent and legacy speak for itself.
Beautiful, wonderful Rock and Roll music. I loved it then and I still love it today. Can't spend a day without listening to those old Rock and Roll masterpieces.♥🎼🎸🎷
My first 45 rpm record was Duane eddy's cannonball that I bought in 1958 when I was 11 years old I am now 73 years old and am still a fan I think Duane Eddy is the best guitar player ever. Happy birthday Duane .
@@msattler111 i,m 84yo i still kind of live in these days!! this was my music a few yrs ago lol.i danced to this kind of music and boy do i miss it!!! this old age sure sucks!!!
All of a sudden I was 10 yrs old again. My friend let me borrow his 45 of R R. I took it home and played it on the new Columbia console Stereo with AM-FM radio. My folks were fine with the guitar, but when that sax began, I was told to turn that excrement down. It ranks right up there for me along with Ray Price's "Personality". Thanks. Narragansett Bay
We played Rebel Rouser with our high school band. We had some really talented musicians. We loved doing it. I played oboe, needless to say I didn't have a part but still loved it.
Im irish . First heard of Duane Eddy when he performed peter gunn with the English electronic group art of noise in 1986 . Listened to his music a lot since then. Amazing musician . I love rebel rouser too ! May his memory ever be honoured .
THANK YALL FOR THE SUPER MUSIC AND MEMORIES......IT WAS A BLAST TO CRUISE THRU THE HAMBURGER JOINTS WITH THE ENGINE THUMPING AND YALL”S MUSIC BLARING OUT THE WINDOWS !! HEH HEH THOSE WERE THE DAYS !!! GOD BLESS YALL !!!!
Awesome, you too, the old hamburger Drivein’s, girls on roller skates in short shorts taking orders & that twangy guitar ripin it up over the loudspeakers (there was no stereo) what a country, Way. Back. When, like a dream today. Thanks for the memories Duane.
I learned to play rebel rouser after about 3 months of getting it right. still listen to duane eddie play it and play it occasionally now at 77 years old. love one of his first hit instrumels, because they,re young.
Wow, still perfect, an unforgetable guitarist, and always will be. Thanks to Mr. Eddy for the iconic music! He was totally unique and such an inspiration to us. Still rockin', perfectly, and totally cool right up to this song performed as an older gentleman. (The other seasoned musicians on this song were phenominal too). RIP to a consumate guitarist. We will always love you and your music.
I heard this song growing up as kid and most my life..my uncle Mac Davidson use to play it all the time... and his so Clay Davidson went on to be country singer and was on grand Ole Opry and Mr Eddy wrote a letter congratulating Clay on his album and Opry debut. This man is amazing guitar picker my opinion he's up there with Chet ..
He was a true great! He had an enormous effect on both country & rock! Look at who he performed with over the years. His album with the Ventures (surf rock) is fantastic! The man played a guitar like no one else had thought of doing! The “twang sound” has become a classic sound!
I made a tape with Duane Eddy's "40 miles of Bad Road", I took it along with me when we went to visit my brother who lived out in the Oregon High Desert. When we got to the road to his place, the song started to play, my Mom commented on how appropriate it was for the drive, the road was not 40 miles long but it was long enough and as rough as a corn cob. Rebel Rouser is on my top 25 list of favorite songs. Just thought that I would share a good memory, a Mother and Daughter driving thru the desert listening to good music. Looking for that song to put in my collection of RUclips music videos.
He was on American Bandstand, look it up on youtube. Duane Eddy "Rebel Rouser" Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show. July 19, 1958......And, Duane Eddy - Peter Gunn, 40 Miles of Bad Road, Rebel Rouser (1984)
Wait what he still Alive? I listen to his songs for 2 years and didn't know that he is still here, wow. And also thanks for Mafia 2 to introduced me to Rebel Rouser.
Great ! The deeper "Twang" on the record came from a 300 gallon steel water tank used as a reverb at Audio Recorders studio in Phoenix Az. Duane is a real nice guy, made me a "mix-tape" cassette when we met at that studio in the 80's.
I love Duane Eddy and this song glad that God has kept him around so he can continue to play grew up listing to all his music thank you Duane for great music
That song sure transcends styles. I grew up thinking it was some of the finest surf music (about the only surf music I liked, in fact). Little did I know.... Covered by many, great song.
I remember this tune from my late teens was great the and even greater now. Still 😊 love it. Thanks so much brought back a lot of great memories. Keep up the great work and music.
Back in the late 50s my brother had his album one million dollars of twang. Great memories of my Dad and brother and I listening to his amazing guitar work!
I was ten and the only Duane in town. I thought Duane Eddy was the greatest with Rebel Rouser in 1958 and I wasn't the only Duane around. About ten years ago, I got hold of a clean Duane Eddy LP and recorded it digitally. It's on my "Just Drive" playlist in my car.
29 years old from Europe, earlier today I randomly started to play a riff on guitar which I had memorized somewhere a few years ago and guess what it's Duane Eddy -riff which brought me to search this video. Great music I have no sort of deep historical connection to, but I'm 100% feeling it. + that guitar is beautiful, wish I'd get one someday.
I was stationed a RAF Alconbury in 1974 Duane Eddy gave a a show at the NCO club. He was scheduled to play from eight to eleven. He finally shut down the show around four-in the morning. We got a lot of big names who wanted a free trip to England. I heard Rebel Rouser live played by Duane probably about forty times that night. A good song has a catchy tune PERIOD!
My husband met Duane in Perth W.A.in the late 70s a real gentleman .he signed all his records we still have some of them .Love the Twang. Still sounds good.
I met him when I was a kid and he taught me to play Rebel Rouser if I spelt it right. I was 12 years old he was young back then. I will never forget it. I think he is the best player I've ever seen. I had my 13 dollar guitar Daddy bought me.
My Hero has passed away . So glad I met you Duane you were very kind to me and Deed . You signed my poster which I still have on my wall . Will always play your tunes and tell everyone about you . Miss you already The King of twang ! 😢
In 1962 / 1963 I was 15 or 16 and on one Friday after school (8th grade) I went to a local movie theatre where the was a rock and roll concert of 5 or 6 performers; Duane Eddy being one of them. I saw some people outside one of the theatre's exit doors. Shortly after I got there Duane Eddy pulled up alongside the curb in a stationwagon. He unloaded his equipment into the theatre. When he came out I asked him for his autograph and he said that I could ride with him to park his car, give me his autograph, and walk to the theatre with him. It's a great memory to carry around with me through all these years; I'll soon be 75. I wish I could tell him this story. -- Laurence H. of Del Rio, Texas
@@richardfurlott4243 Yes; it's a terrific memory. Around the time that I saw him perform, I saw The Cadillacs, Fats Domino, Brenda Lee, and others that I can't remember. Later in life saw/sometimes met many others: Brenda Holloway, Harvey Fuqua of The Moonglows, Chubby Checker, Jimmy Beaumont of The Skyliners (in his dressing room!), Jimmy Clanton, Jack Scott, Johnny Tillotson, Herb Reed of The Platters, Herman Santiago of Frankie Lymon's Teenagers, Bobby Boris Picket, Bobby Lewis, and quite a few others. My wife and I did a lot of travelling to oldies concerts. That's about it for now. Thanks for giving me a reply.

Play Rebel Rouser at least once a month

Now it's only Eddy

RIP Duane Eddy (April 26, 1938 - April 30, 2024), aged 86
You will be remembered as a legend.
100%
Dang! It was never mentioned in media. RIP Mr. Duane Eddy! You're the best!
Great Performance here.. Rest in Peace Mr. Eddy, I thank you for the gift you gave.

I’m 78 and still listen to the great hits of better times
There were never better times they are today they are tomorrow is a stupid thing we say cursing tomorrow with sorrow
@@kydzs its funny, rebel rouser came out in 1958. Racism and violence were at an all time high.
I'm only 35 and do the same thing. I hate this current new mess. It gives me a headache lol
My first 45 rpm record was Duane eddy's cannonball that I bought in 1958 when I was 11 years old I am now 73 years old and am still a fan I think Duane Eddy is the best guitar player ever. Happy birthday Duane .
Mine was Shazam I still have it but it's very worn
My first record (45rpm) was It's Only Make Believe, by Conway. Came out in 1958. Still have it.
Did you see Duane Eddy on American Bandstsnd when the band played Rebel Rouser?.....ruclips.net/video/K8uZutr1avs/видео.html
No one plays it like Duane Eddy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rebel Rouser is one of my all time favorite instrumentals. I've loved it since it came out.
Same here. And I am 64yo. It's that sighing guitar and the screamin' sax. Just always jerked my chain the right way. Meow.
You got excellent taste.
@@msattler111 i,m 84yo i still kind of live in these days!! this was my music a few yrs ago lol.i danced to this kind of music and boy do i miss it!!! this old age sure sucks!!!
❤❤wow i love it.and sax too
That era of rock n' roll where the sax was still present and often piano and they made the interplay between work in the sweetest way. Good stuff!
That’s why you listen to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band! Plenty of both!
@@cathol1c778 Duane Eddy was one of Springsteen's main influences.
Bill blacks combo was great
Always loved Duane Eddy’s twangy tunes, and the saxophone puts “the icing on the cake”!
Great group of entertainers in this video!!
I love Duane Eddy's music
Two legends sharing a stage. Rebel rouser and Duane Eddy
All of a sudden I was 10 yrs old again. My friend let me borrow his 45 of R R. I took it home and played it on the new Columbia console Stereo with AM-FM radio.

That was great, thank you all again!
GOD, BRING US MORE OF THIS!! YES YES YES!!
I bought this record in the UK I still have. I am 79. It is the best guitar sound that you can get.
We played Rebel Rouser with our high school band. We had some really talented musicians. We loved doing it. I played oboe, needless to say I didn't have a part but still loved it.
Rhythm guitarist is smiling all through because it is simple, uncluttered music for everyone to enjoy.
Superb, Duane Eddy the legend, long may you continue to thrill us with your great music. Thanks for posting 🙏
Rest in peace Duane. Thanks for the music! ❤
Amen 🙏♥️
Thank you gentlemen! Especially for mentioning Lee Hazelwood.
As Elvis would say. GO CAT
This is one of those songs that from. The first "twangy" note, you know your our a treat!
Im irish . First heard of Duane Eddy when he performed peter gunn with the English electronic group art of noise in 1986 . Listened to his music a lot since then. Amazing musician . I love rebel rouser too ! May his memory ever be honoured .
The sax player helps make this song wonderful.. My first record album as a young girl,I'm 73 now and still love it.
I'm 68 and still love this song
I always liked the sax best.
If you dig this music you are with it , stay young
I am 77 and this number still sound good. The saxophone player, the drummer, and the T W A A N N G G G sound of the guitar strings. . .
Linda, we coulda danced the jester bug all thru the night, we are the blessed, you know, it is indeed a privilege to grow old.
THANK YALL FOR THE SUPER MUSIC AND MEMORIES......IT WAS A BLAST TO CRUISE THRU THE HAMBURGER JOINTS WITH THE ENGINE THUMPING AND YALL”S MUSIC BLARING OUT THE WINDOWS !! HEH HEH THOSE WERE THE DAYS !!! GOD BLESS YALL !!!!

Che bella melodia!un suono riconoscibile...una grande performance...😊🤗😍😘🎶🎸🎶🎶💘💓💋💯🌅
Beautiful Guitar Sound ( It Will Never Get Replaced ) RIP Duane
I purchased my first Duane Eddy albumin 1957. Along the Navaho Trail and Rebel Rouser and Peter Gunn are among my favorites.
I love this tune, it's a great one to learn if you're just starting-out learning to play guitar.
The appeal of Duane's guitar playing is, it isn't complicated,which made it easy to learn.
don't forget that it sounds good too.
Duane is epic! What a sound! Rest in peace sir.
Awesome, you all are great.
As a 31 year old I love Duane Eddy music 🥰🕺🏻🙂
I learned to play rebel rouser after about 3 months of getting it right. still listen to duane eddie play it and play it occasionally now at 77 years old. love one of his first hit instrumels, because they,re young.

Hi Donnie, how are you doing. Merry Christmas to you.
Farewell Mr. Eddy, rebel rousing to the end!
This 45 was one of the first records I owned as a kid.
My dad always said if this song didn’t get you goin nothing could.
I loved Duane Eddy's music as a teenager. He is super talented. I also love the saxaphone - especially the bass more than tenor. Thanks for this great band playing "Rebel Rouser."
What a great classic..
What a legend!
Duane is right up there with the whole of the Rock Legends. He brought us The Twang and The Twang was The Thang!
Got to see him live in meadowlands NJ with chuck berry,jerry lee lewis,jr walker,fats canceled. A great show of the greats
A true legend. And what a talented band.
simple yet elegant and wild - very wild - thank you.
I've loved Duane and his guitar from the beginning.
Saw him in a show in Reading, PA in 1959. Great guy.
Great fun...thanks!!
The real deal Duane Eddy an original 50s idol . Simply the best . Well done Duane
Rest in peace Duane Eddie x
