WoW! Damian. congratulations! You are so lucky and you deserve meeting the predecessor, the son of your idol Bill Haley, you are a true and dedicated follower, thank you for sharing this wonderful moment. Best wishes Vic 🎼🎵🎶🎤🎸
I love how despite his difficult relationship with his father, he still pays tribute to him. He still has some fond memories he holds onto. He has an appreciation for his father's talents and who he was to his fans. I feel like there is a lot of healing and forgiveness that has happened with Bill Haley Jr. It's really quite amazing. When I was first becoming interested in rockabilly, Bill Haley and His Comets were one of my favorite bands! It warms my heart to see this wonderful music still being performed decades later by some amazing musicians!
Excellent interview! Good job Damian. I'm impressed, you are a terrific guitarist, and being a lefty that plays righty, incredible. Always appreciate your final words of wisdom and inspiration. Always calming and feel good. The Bob Ross of Rockabilly.😀
Greetings from the other side of the world. Just a fabulous, Fascinating interview. Many thanks to you both for keeping the flame alive. Long live Rock And Roll!!!
Thank you for the interview. I, along with a bunch of rock n roll dancers, saw Bill Haley Jr and the Comets in New Zealand in 2014. It was a fantastic show and we came away feeling really happy. In the foyer Bill and the band sat down at some tables and were kind enough to talk with us and answer some questions. If they are in your area don't miss them. Yes, we bought the CD..
Awesome interview, thanks for sharing! I'm a huge fan of Bill Haley & the Comets and I got excited towards the end when he mentioned documentary. My thoughts have always been "biopic," this guy needs a biopic! I'm always saddened to learn that many famous people whom I admire artistically turn out to be not the best fathers or husbands, etc. Bill seemed like the perfect gentleman, always very professional when performing and doing interviews. I'm sure fame takes its toll on artists and their families. I would love to see Bill Jr in concert, I'm glad that he's keeping the music alive. Great upload!
Killer interview!! Just think for a second; we wouldn’t have had a British Invasion without Bill Haley, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. That’s how important these artists were in England back then. They inspired The Beatles, Stones, The Who, Animals, etc etc.
Raising young children with so much doom, filth, depression and garbage on the radio, my wife and I gave our children the gift of a fun, simple musical experience when they were little. Bill Haley was one of the main Go-To cd’s of the collection. With the oldschool rock n roll, we didn’t have to censor and skip songs that were kid-inappropriate.
Hi Damian, and Bill Jnr, I was fortunate enough to meet Bill Snr around 1980 in Liverpool UK when he played a cabaret club I worked, I served him a bottle of scotch and a bucket of ice, I remember him being an absolutely charming gentleman and I became a fan, I’m now 60 years old, I have a lefty Gretsch 6118 and love playing rock n roll music, keep up the great work guys
I been excitedly waiting for this, since you announced it. Have love Bill Haley and the Comet's, since I was around 5 years old, so 42 years now.. I too am a lefty, but play right handed
Again greetings from Germany Thanks for the interview! Today I had a small gig , trying to figure out different styles- I’m quite sure in country and bluegrass and as mentioned in southern rock, I’m trying to get some rockabilly tunes - so be sure I’ll keep on watching!
The first rock ‘n’ roll record, I would get to play is Bill Haley’s hits rock around the clock. I would blast it in Played over and over again then I would listen to Led Zeppelin.. my father had a cool record collection.
Well done Damian, great questions and well researched!!! Bill Jr seems like a nice guy, sad to hear that his dad had abandoned the family and the toll of the alcoholism.
Bill Haley, Senior > The Father of Rock 'n' Roll. He recorded Rock 'n' Roll since 1952 / Elvis Presley since 1954 / and Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Carf Perkins since 1955 / Jerry Lee Lewis since 1957.
What a great interview. Had no idea there even was a Jr. 69 here, a huge Elvis fan growing up, but always always loved to hear Bill Haley & the Comets. That's my go-to music any day of the week.
Pretty cool! I live 10 minutes from Melody Manor, Bill Haley's house in the early to mid 50s in Bethel, PA The house retains the original finished basement that Bill and the Comets jammed in. Same wood paneling, same green tiled floor!
For sure Bill Haley was one of the real pioneers of rock and roll. This fact must never be forgotten. Unluckily Bill Haley was a chain smoker and heavy drinker. Would Rudy have died of lung cancer if Bill hadn`t smoked?
The movie about Bill Haley needs to be made, great video thank you for posting it
Thank you :)

Arguably the First man Who blended country and r&b, in 1951
Raising young children with so much doom, filth, depression and garbage on the radio, my wife and I gave our children the gift of a fun, simple musical experience when they were little. Bill Haley was one of the main Go-To cd’s of the collection. With the oldschool rock n roll, we didn’t have to censor and skip songs that were kid-inappropriate.
Thanks for watching the interview :)
Thats groovy Bill haley Jr takes after dad about all .
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Nice interview! Where did you get that Silvertone?

Again greetings from Germany
Thanks for the interview!
Today I had a small gig , trying to figure out different styles- I’m quite sure in country and bluegrass and as mentioned in southern rock, I’m trying to get some rockabilly tunes - so be sure I’ll keep on watching!
Thank you and enjoy the lessons :)
He seems like a really great guy.
Thank you for watching :)
The first rock ‘n’ roll record, I would get to play is Bill Haley’s hits rock around the clock. I would blast it in Played over and over again then I would listen to Led Zeppelin.. my father had a cool record collection.
Thank you for watching :)
What an awesome interview. Just found your lessons and have been learning a lot. You are the Bob Ross of guitar. I subscribed instantly
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it :)
Well done Damian, great questions and well researched!!! Bill Jr seems like a nice guy, sad to hear that his dad had abandoned the family and the toll of the alcoholism.
Thank you for watching :)
Awesome bro!
Thanks man :)
Wonderful interview! Another big fan of your videos from Germany!
Oh, and I love that shirt! Any chance to find one like that…? 😉
Thank you very much. I bought the shirt over a decade ago. I don't remember where I bought it.
@@Damianblf Thanks a lot for the reply! Nevermind, I’ll find something similar somewhere!
Fantastic that man.
Thank you for watching :)

Wow, how sad about Bill Haley.
Looks nothing like his father
What a great interview. Had no idea there even was a Jr. 69 here, a huge Elvis fan growing up, but always always loved to hear Bill Haley & the Comets. That's my go-to music any day of the week.

Bill Haley. The inventor of rock'n'roll
Thank you for watching :)
Wow way cool and Jr songs just like his dad!
Thanks for watching :)
For sure Bill Haley was one of the real pioneers of rock and roll. This fact must never be forgotten. Unluckily Bill Haley was a chain smoker and heavy drinker. Would Rudy have died of lung cancer if Bill hadn`t smoked?
