He's who Bowie wrote Ziggy stardust about, drugs & drink drove him to madness, he believed he was God walked off stage & quit music....proper rock & roll, brand new Cadillac...superb
He was actually not the most musically talented performer, bad timing and didn’t understand tempo. The band definitely made him sound better than he actually was.

FYI, Golden Earring wrote and played a song called Vince Taylor, Look for it, you'll like the group and the song. I became a fan of Golden Earring in the early '70s. BELIEVE ME! the only problem with G.E. is that they probably didn't have a good manager, whereby he could have promoted the group in the USA! THEY could have knocked the socks off of many Brits, G.e. was a Dutch band. I own all of their cuts.
To me, the guitarist really tried amping up the guitar licks to what would become heavy metal. They were playing as heavy as the amps would allow. Imagine if they had ozzy's broken orange amp from black sabbath. Which did lead to distortion heavy metal.
I love the 'Reslo' mic - in no way would it pick up the voice unless there was so much feedback that the whole shebang would become inaudible. Great video nonetheless. A kind of Johnny Kidd less his Pirates.
reminds me cosmetically of Lux Interior of the Cramps and the son from "its a mad mad mad mad world" (1963) Sylvester Marcus, all wrapped into some psychotic rock and roll chimichanga... Vince Taylor may just have influenced all of them.
Wow, a rock drummer with two bass drums in 1961? Someone said that is the year here in the comments, and if that's correct, wouldn't he have been doing it well before Baker and Moon were? I remember reading Baker and Moon saw Duke Ellington's drummer do it.
Vince Taylor this Cat was Cool - Elvis had already been sold out and turned into milk toast doing Movies! Vince Taylor was wild and wide open. He was also before Jim Morrison in Black Leather' - 1967 Elvis wore all black leather in thye 1968 - Comeback special ~
This guy was the inspiration for David Bowies Ziggy Stardust album. The song Rock and Roll Suicide is 100 percent about this guy. He took so much LSD that he lost his bloody mind, and couldn't be trusted to perform when booked, because he lost all concept of time. He wandered the streets mumbling to himself as he grew old. The entire Ziggy Stardust album tells the story.
So many comments about how great this undiscovered guy is, Ziggy blah blah blah. All I see is a middling talent. More talent than me, to be sure, but still middling.
bonjour à tous quelqu'un peut me dire ou je pourrais avoir la musique originale pas le live de vince taylor what i say. merci, je suis actif au commentaire pour vos réponses
Bonjour Joeakim. A télécharger, Voici deux versions extraites du LP "Le Rock c'est ça !" (JBM) et du CD 1963-1974 annexé au Juke-Box Revue Spécial Vince de 2001 : www.mediafire.com/file/cjz2yazuv2lor0h/VTWhtDSay.zip/file
The guy had a mediocre voice. Basically his stage act was a rip off of Elvis, Gene Vincent, & Eddie Cochran. He did have the look & not much more than that.
At the time, "what I say" was a popular cover tune that most club bands in Europe would perform. It was a real rave up tune. The Beatles also had it in their sets sometimes stretching it out for 20 minutes. The main reason Pete best lost out to ringo was he couldn't play the song's beat correctly and ringo could nail it. They used the same beat later on "I feel fine."
Une chose infaisable , Vince chantait en Anglais et vibrait , vivait , a plein corps le R n R . Ce que faisait pas Hallyday il copiait Vince , Presley , Gene etc... mais ça restait de la copie méme si il le faisait avec talent.

He's who Bowie wrote Ziggy stardust about, drugs & drink drove him to madness, he believed he was God walked off stage & quit music....proper rock & roll, brand new Cadillac...superb
It was actually a bad acid trip at a Bob Dylan after party.
I didn't know there was someone this good I had never heard of.
Those guitars... Beautiful!
I'll never understand why he isn't regularly listed in the first division of 60's British rockers along with the Stones, Beatles, Animals etc.
Agree 💯 % , he's rarely mentioned in the UK Pre Beatle - Rock history and he deserves recognition, definitely.
too contrived, too much Pat Boone for my tastes, his stage moves are annoying
Johnny Kidd & the Pirates kick his Pat Boone keister
He went to France, which killed it. Crazy Cavan werestreets ahead.
He's like Pat Boone? lol @@bbb8997
He blows away Conrad Birdie, Elvin Pelvin, and Johnny Restivo. No wonder The Clash and Brian Setzer picked up his hit Brand New Cadillac.
Well, Elvin Pelvin was in the army at the time....
He's very good. Wild. Works so hard. Very talented
He was actually not the most musically talented performer, bad timing and didn’t understand tempo. The band definitely made him sound better than he actually was.
Quel charisme ! Vince est un prince du rock'n'roll foudroyé.
This sequence was filmed at "Les Folies Pigalle", Paris in 1961
this is simple, fucking, damn, bastard .... Rock'n'Roll !!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god. Where was this guy when I was on my Gene Vincent kick?
He was doing his career in France. Ergo

how come i never heard of this guy before?
fantastique ! supériorité sur le rock européen en 1961 !

Golden Earring rocks
This guy should've been huge . . .
It's just performance. Lacking depth
@@paradisewarriors Whaaaaat? Brand New Cadillac, anybody?
He made it big in France

I’m 50 I only found him today on here for the first time in my life because of Sid barrett lol
alanmeires lol. I’m 50 too. Just found out about him thru Adam Ants new LP song called Vince Taylor. Had to check him out. Good stuff
53. I bought a Gretsch guitar and found him searching rockabilly stuff. Very cool.
Reel Reele Koole, Eye dig, 🎸👽🎸 ) ) )
I love the 'Reslo' mic - in no way would it pick up the voice unless there was so much feedback that the whole shebang would become inaudible. Great video nonetheless. A kind of Johnny Kidd less his Pirates.
I’m imagining Vince and the band on Britain’s got talent
Ziggy Stardust inspiration so they say

Why the talking
Pence que era otra cosa y es peor que yoooo !!! En la ducha muy mala música desastres una vergüenza humana 😢 no , debería estar ahí , Elvis es unico
Fantastic. Exciting performer with a tough life story.
Brilliant in every way. Great band. Such a shame he’s got such a lousy voice. He would’ve been big otherwise, not just in France.
This is priceless colour footage...
I didn't know about this guy being Ziggy .... it's a long story ,,,
So many comments about how great this undiscovered guy is, Ziggy blah blah blah. All I see is a middling talent. More talent than me, to be sure, but still middling.
il a trop des airs de Jim Carrey 😅
He imitates Gene Vincent's moves very well
He should have been much more famous and had absolutely top songs and videos. Things happen I guess
On aime ou on n'aime pas mais faut reconnaitre qu'il était au dessus de la mèlée halliday consor et compagnie,mais il a été écarté.
Love his onstage charisma
None.
He’s sweating like a nonce in a nursery.
@@BrodyLuv2 you'd sweat to if you were jumpin all over the place
cette vidéo est issue de la TV Italienne 1962
Oh dear! Bit of Gene Vincent there and a lot more artificially..
NEVER heard of this guy.........
Cause there was only ever one Elvis, and endless Elvis want to be's.
You have now!
@@TheJackflash85 He should have called himself crazy legs!
David Bowie Got the idea for the Ziggy Stardust character by watching Vince Talor & the name from Iggy Pop...
Vince could sing the blues .
HELL YEA!
elvis on meth
Génial 👍
This Guy is COOL DELUXE!!!!
Brilliant.
Grande!!
Immense....
Il bouge mieux qu'il ne chante
Who in line up ?
Vince Taylor couldn't handle fame, wondering where his girlfriend was and apparently LSD.
kept him quiet didnt they never heard of him except Brand New Cadillac mLondon Calling
Miming.
Tout à fait d'accord avec vous m'sieur vieurocker !
パンクやなー
great song but this is totally lip-synched
totally normal back then.
Vince flip out
Band rule #5:
ONLY the singer can wear black shoes.
So sad to see that they are playing to a recording. Lip syncing.
Старенькая наикрутейшая вещь
This cat coulda been kult if he'd played his cards a lil longer
Really groovy dancing from everyone.
Alvin Stardust built his act round this guy
RIP Shane
AKA Bernard Jewry
do you think he was influenced by Elvis!
Definitely

Acid burnout...sad!

He doesn't even come within an inch of Ray Charles.
Yeah, because he’s not trying to sound like Ray Charles…
@@TheMerseySound1 You have a point. But he'd about as god as I am as a singer and by that I mean unlistenably bad.
@@canesvenatici4259 And with that voice he still managed to leave an impression for people to still be talking about him and his music today

DIAVOLO!!!
Rock n roll right there folks 😷💀🇬🇧
@Bryan Ryan in your opinion
Eh oui! à l'époque, on a voulu comparer V. Taylor et Hallyday, autrement dit les serviettes de table et les serpillières.
