I saw Duane Eddy..somewhere in the deep South, probably 1959, I was 5. Memorable because my dad took me up on stage after to shake hands with Eddie & the band.
Duane Eddy grew up in Phoenix. Cut this song in Phx at a local studio, with Lee Hazelwood as the producer.. His group took it's name Rock'n Rebels from my high school, South Mountain HS, The Rebels. The B side of this 45 was called "South Phoenix" where I lived.
Thanks for your music and how it brightened my childhood. So many fond memories. Rebel Rouser was re-christened "Rubber Trouser" in my Junior School....RIP Duane
WOW! Dick Clark's production team went all-out on this presentation of one of the most-influential guitarists of the 1950s and early '60s. Duane Eddy had such a cool guitar sound. Knocks me out!
This song and 40 Miles of Bad Road were two songs that gave me goosebumps back in 58 & 59 and here I am today listening to this Still with goosebumps... this music is Heaven.. Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤
I'm 26 and absolutely adore this era and music aswell as 40s even a couple rare songs such as show me the way to go home original version love it and yess that beautiful guitar riff if Duane Eddy mixed with saxophone to this day gives me goosebumps also friend it's an amazing song thats rythms can't be matched ✌️☮️☺️
I liked the music of the 1940s when I was growing up, but when the 1950s came in with Bill Haley and the comets 💫 I really loved the rock and roll era! It’s still the best of all time!
It doesn't get better than this. Man, what happened to the music today. Where are Duane Eddys and suchlikes today. Sad, but at least we have these memories and their music.
P Diddy jay z. Beyoncé etc don’t hold a candle to those I grew up with just so sad that this music I love so much, so many of these artists have left this earth.
I was but 1 year old in 58', in my crib. When i first heared this i shat my nappy. Yes sir ree, i couldnt stop that beat burstin my young bowels. I shat like a good un, mama was so happy, darn them was good times
Some of the guys in school back then complained that Eddy's playing was overly simplistic, and that "anyone could do that." First, it takes skill to do what he did, and second, what really matters is, does the music sound good to you? It's for entertainment, fer chrissakes! Not a competition to see who can do the most complicated riffs, it's just for making music. I've been playing guitar for some time, now, and I still can't do what he did, as simple as it sounds. I'm not a natural, so I may be slow or unable to master certain skills, but I still respect those who can do what I can't.
@primalcoach1 - I agree with you. Some might put down Dwane Eddy for being a “one trick pony” but that doesn’t matter if you can do that “one trick” better than anyone else!
primalcoach1 that music is *primal* ... it hits you straight in the gut - that’s why the old folks were afraid of the visceral beat and those knarly, rude sounds, and the young folk were so stimulated!
It’s not tons of skill that makes a hit, but writing something original. If you have both then that is great but sometimes people write a new tune and can’t even play it themselves, or they learn just enough to perform it. I knew plenty of people that could play the neck right off of a guitar but couldn’t write anything good to save their soul.
l was just a kid and a when these songs were on the radio. I loved all the instrumentals of the time, Dave "Baby' Cortez and the bands of the time. In later yrs I became "roadie and later a DJ. I loved turning on younger people to music they never heard. I'd love to see the video of Dwayne Eddy and Max Headroom doing Peter Gunn theme in the 80''s.
Great tune ❤Rock and Roll baby 🎷🎸🥁Everyone in that audience looked like they were all having fun ❤God bless them all ,Legends back in 1958 , Transport me back to those Good old Rock and Roll,Doo wop days,The fashion also looked smart as well when music was Yes oh yes ,Music,People know what good times actually were ,I myself aged 50 love all the classics 🎶 💕Not like the awful stuff that plays out nowadays 23 years later from the late 1990s to the 21st century,It's just noise nowadays .😔
There are! Years ago, I met a musician, he had Yank Rochelle's mandolin, he was a beast on it. He put it down and played the guitar. He was a beast on it. I follow two young guitarist that play like Derrick Trucks.
The first time that I heard this in the UK was in a covered market. The speakers were not very big back then but it but the volume was turned right up and they were mounted just under the corrugated steel roof and it echoed round the whole place.
Me too! When stereo replaced Hi Fi, I bought some Bose speakers with a 500 watt amp. Hung the speakers from some chains and got a real treat when cranked up to max they actually swung back and forth for some music!
l'll miss u Duanne. like many others U inspired me to play guitar. l still have my old 1958 Guiild Amps Guild was one of your favorite guitars beside gretch and danoelectric...l'm sure U will not be playing the harp up in heaven but showing the angels your twangy thing and show them a thang or two. RIP u were like a god when u were around in 58.
One of the all time greats and still going strong. I recently saw a video of him at 83 years old playing backup for Robert Plant and Allison Krause performing "I Can't Let Go" from their new album. They don't make 'em like him anymore!
Duane Eddy and Dick Clark in my memories are always associated together. I'm sure it was watching American Bandstand in the late 50s that I first heard this mesmerizing twang.
One of the First Songs I learned to play, along with YEP & CANNONBALL when I got my Fender Jazzmaster for Christmas in 1962...Duane Eddy was the Man back then !
My dad brought me to see Dick Clark's Rock and Roll Road show the Saturday after Independence Day in 1964 when I was 7. On the bill was Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard and Fats Domino.
This might seem boring or simplistic to some people. But all you have to do is see the crowds reaction to this music. This was their music not their parents it was cool it was hip and new and part of the origin of Rock&Roll music. these were the pioneers along with the rest that paved the way for all of the others that followed. And made Rock Concerts into an experience.
With his passing he may very well have been the last of the real true 50s Rockin Rollers I guess you'd have to count Chubby "Let's do the Twist" Checkers as the last of that era unless I'm not aware of anyone else still alive
Music is simply the only International language. However, Gospel will outshine the rest. Watch and see the Light ! Merry Christmas Everyone ☺♥♪♫ 12.22.,2021
Oh wow! They were on a fork lift in the basket! How cool is That? !!! I love the way that sax player spreads it out and the crowd was so connected. Yahoo!!
GREAT STUFF. I SAW DUANE IN THE 80S AT BIRMINGHAM TOWN HALL . DEL SHANNON WAS SUPPOSED TO TOP THE BILL BUT HE COMMITTED SUICIDE SO DUANE STEPPED IN AND IT WAS HIS 50th BIRTHDAY.THE CRICKETS AND I THINK TOMMY ROE WERE ALSO ON THE BILL . GREAT SHOW ,GREAT MUSIC.
Some of Duane's best songs were album cuts and lesser known tunes that never were major hits. I just loved his sound back in the late 50's and still do. I was a fan of all those great instrumental groups back then....Duane, The Ventures, The Fireballs and Johnny & the Hurricanes. Somehow Duane's Rebel hat doesn't go with a sport coat and tie. 😅😅😅
RIP Duane Eddy (April 26, 1938 - April 30, 2024), aged 86
You will be remembered as a legend.
❤RIP DUANE
Rest in peace Duane 🙏 😔 😢 💔
Rock in Peace Duane
He grew up in my city...Corning NY...
I went to school with his niece and nephew
Thanks bro; I was about to asked if he was still around, 'Forty miles of bad road' was a massive hit in jamaica when I was a young child.
That's my dad playn drums John Reminger!!! woo hooo!!!! go daddy yo!
Lisa Reminger love these guys
Spent hours with these guys today hope ur fine.
Lisa Reminger wow..........magnificent...you're lucky Lisa....well done John...
💕
Lisa Reminger I think you mean drum,singular.
I saw Duane Eddy..somewhere in the deep South, probably 1959, I was 5. Memorable because my dad took me up on stage after to shake hands with Eddie & the band.
Love this song. The twangy guitar and the band follows. Saxophone, too. Thanks Duane Eddy and the Rebel Rousers.

One of rock and roll's greatest instrumentals.
For sure
Duane Eddy did great music. I have a greatest hits disc and I love the era. Him and that sax were killer together. Thanks for the memories.
Does, not did. At time of writing, Eddy is still alive and playing!
Duane is still alive aged 84
@@davea7602 And he's still playing concerts! Absolute legend.
He is still alive and still does great music
When the Sax kicked in everyone went wild. The Sax truly made a hit in the songs of the 50's.
Just learned that the sax player is none other than Jim Horn, 17 at the time
@angel. This says 1958. That might be Steve Douglas.
It's a real killer, that big fat Tenor Sax !
I just found out the the Sax player in Rebel Rouser was Gil Bernal (died at 80) and the Sax was overdubbed.
I’m thinking Steve Douglas. 😊
RIP Duane Eddy a true legend of the 1950s gone keep twanging that guitar in Heaven😢
This is a serious way to do a concert.
I dedicate this to my old work buddy. You'll never be forgotten Woody.
Thanks for your music and how it brightened my childhood. So many fond memories. Rebel Rouser was re-christened "Rubber Trouser" in my Junior School....RIP Duane

That's the kind of music I listen to & enjoy, the fifties music puts a smile on my face & gets my foot tappin', for sure! 👌😊
I liked the music of the 1940s when I was growing up, but when the 1950s came in with Bill Haley and the comets 💫 I really loved the rock and roll era! It’s still the best of all time!
Whatever anyone else has to say this is American music and I as an Englishman think that it’s brilliant
Listen to this song for 12 hours then turn around and drive the same distance back it has kept me awake on the road .what a great son !!
You had to love that tenor sax.
Gil Bernal
@@Cuppie44 Yes you're 100 percent correct Gil Bernal played the sax on the recording, but I believe the guy in this clip is Steve Douglas
@@jonnychingas5757 Yes...Douglas became the main man with a sax for Duane but Jim Horn also did a brief stint.
It doesn't get better than this. Man, what happened to the music today. Where are Duane Eddys and suchlikes today. Sad, but at least we have these memories and their music.
P Diddy jay z. Beyoncé etc don’t hold a candle to those I grew up with just so sad that this music I love so much, so many of these artists have left this earth.
Timeless, cool, unique. Thank God for good music. Getting harder & harder to find these days.
The best era of music have long gone ..black artist and white artist was on top of the game i enjoy both music full of life and the audience involve❤❤
I was but 1 year old in 58', in my crib. When i first heared this i shat my nappy. Yes sir ree, i couldnt stop that beat burstin my young bowels. I shat like a good un, mama was so happy, darn them was good times
One Of THe Very Best Hit singles of 1959 as it is By Duane Eddy with his big Hit Rebel Rouser as it was a huge top ten single

@primalcoach1 - I agree with you. Some might put down Dwane Eddy for being a “one trick pony” but that doesn’t matter if you can do that “one trick” better than anyone else!
With you on this one. Does a 'one trick pony' continue performing for nearly 60 years?
I agree completely.
primalcoach1 that music is *primal* ... it hits you straight in the gut - that’s why the old folks were afraid of the visceral beat and those knarly, rude sounds, and the young folk were so stimulated!

Even as a native American I will love this song! Forever!!
Often we loosen up in ways not having any bad intentions. I see nothing wrong with this song.
I am just commenting and happen to hit the icon here.
you're a true music lover. good music has no boundaries. thanks for posting.
how did we go from this to the stuff they call music nowadays
l was just a kid and a when these songs were on the radio. I loved all the instrumentals of the time, Dave "Baby' Cortez and the bands of the time. In later yrs I became "roadie and later a DJ.

Best Instrumental Rock and Roll band of the 50s and early 60s in my opinion :)
I agree!
Kudos to that Lift Truck operator !
He kept her nice and stable.
Couldn't do it today too much H&S bullshit
he is sellin the hell out of that saxophone lol
Great tune ❤Rock and Roll baby 🎷🎸🥁Everyone in that audience looked like they were all having fun ❤God bless them all ,Legends back in 1958 , Transport me back to those Good old Rock and Roll,Doo wop days,The fashion also looked smart as well when music was Yes oh yes ,Music,People know what good times actually were ,I myself aged 50 love all the classics 🎶 💕Not like the awful stuff that plays out nowadays 23 years later from the late 1990s to the 21st century,It's just noise nowadays .😔
I wish we had places to go and listen to great music like this. I wonder how many people in the audience are still around today?
Well Duane is still kicking, and still strumming.
There are! Years ago, I met a musician, he had Yank Rochelle's mandolin, he was a beast on it. He put it down and played the guitar. He was a beast on it. I follow two young guitarist that play like Derrick Trucks.
How right you are.
old memories & songs r the best. playing them in a band back then was a "trip", never to be duplicated.
I’m 12 and I like the oldies wayyy better than the music today
So cool how those Gretsch guitars work even when they're not plugged in.
Bluetooth
I didn't know wireless tech was available then 😂
Stefan Avalos James Best did the same thing on The Andy Griffith Show. He never did have the electric guitar plugged in.lol
He played Jim Lindsey .
Richard R. Patlan The same here ! lol
Funny,you're the 3 billionth person to mention it and you all think you were the first one.
I just loved this as a teenager, still like it today in 2019.
2020. Still listening to Rebel Rouser and Rumble.
Thank you for this. Brought back memories of Dick Clark. Watched him on TV all the time. also these singers, I grew up listening to. Thanks again.
MsCatslady ❤️
LONGLIVE BOOMERS all over the world.
The first time that I heard this in the UK was in a covered market. The speakers were not very big back then but it but the volume was turned right up and they were mounted just under the corrugated steel roof and it echoed round the whole place.
R.I.P. Duane Eddy.
30.04.2024
I bought this record in 1958 and it is still in my collection. I used to play it so loud when my parents weren't home that the house shook!
Me too! When stereo replaced Hi Fi, I bought some Bose speakers with a 500 watt amp.
Hung the speakers from some chains and got a real treat when cranked up to max they actually swung back and forth for some music!

So long, Duane Eddy. You’re a rebel in heaven.
Brings back great memories with friends. And we are still friends today.
How nice! All the best from Croatia!
One of the all time greats and still going strong. I recently saw a video of him at 83 years old playing backup for Robert Plant and Allison Krause performing "I Can't Let Go" from their new album. They don't make 'em like him anymore!
Great clip. Boy would OSHA crap their pants at that set up !!!
Ive been all the way on the top mast on a wood pallet and only a harness to the mast stops before it was fun and much easier than a extention ladder
We always bend the rules at work.
You mean OHAS
@@CanadianGuy2004 - Occupational Hazards And Stupidity? Couldn't agree more. Don't tell me how to be safe when I'm working.
There was a lot more freedom back then.
Yes fantastic how they get such a vibrant sound from unplugged in guitars and how do they make the sax sound like multiple saxes playing full chords
Duane Eddy "Rebel Rouser" in the 50's kept us ROCKIN our socks OFF. Nothing but the the absolute BEST. G.C.
Image performing this now with the rebel hats the and confederate flag? I'm not from the south but get fired up when I hear it.
Love the hats!
Never get tired playing my oldies every day! Awww the memories 💚🥇✌
Hello NANCY,how are you doing today it’s nice to meet you here 😊
That performance and production, way ahead of its time.
LONG LIVE DUANE EDDY-1959 GRAD-WISH I COULD GO BACK
Tom long live you too! You must be boomer!

It was new, it was different, it was Rock N Roll
Jose Cuervo loved this,Hahahahaha
It was very white bread and fucking boring. The same music from the early 50's repeated.
Gracias rebelde Duanne por tanta felicidad durante tantos años, nunca morirás!!!

i love the guy playing the sax
I never knew I was a cousin to Duane Eddy till this past weekend
I was at one of his concerts in Richmond Va in 1959.First one I ever seen and it was great.
I'm 13 but I love these old songs !

I was 10 years old, I remember. Great music.
I was also ten years old in 1958. I see you have a CIB and aviation wings. I have jump wings and a CMB.
Back when people back when people know how to have fun
What a legend brings back a lot of memories
Just One of the Very best singles of 1958 as it is done by Duane Eddy as it is Called Rebel Rouser as it was a hit in 1958 for him
The song that made me want to play guitar. Thank you Duane Eddy!
Mine was "Party Doll" by Buddy Knox..
@@Venetiababy1 Good one!
I’m still here at 83. I saw Laverne Baker.
longlive jimmy horn....the sax guy from Lynwood, al.
Great number. Wow Cool video.
More of this and the world might be a happier place
May he rest in peace. He had a totally unique guitar sound! To be honest, this
looks quite dangerous - glad they didn’t fall!
Darlene Love & The Blossoms from The Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" stable were
frequent back up singers for Eddy.
Best song by Duane eddy
😂 - no : Theme from Dixie, or Londonderry Air.
Just love how he walks into a crowded hall already playing the song. Just love his style.

damn these dudes were legends if everone loves your shit and your not even playing. you gotta have golden balls to make a riff like that.
You're really obscene, you know that.
I'm glad I came across your channel.
Music and Artists is a lost art today.
I also see the last post was from 8 years ago.
RIP Duane you were my first guitar hero 🎸
I was in 1958 when this song was. new!
You dinosaur... !
Some of Duane's best songs were album cuts and lesser known tunes that never
were major hits. I just loved his sound back in the late 50's and still do.
I was a fan of all those great instrumental groups back then....Duane, The Ventures, The Fireballs and Johnny & the Hurricanes.
Somehow Duane's Rebel hat doesn't go with a sport coat and tie. 😅😅😅
Neat Video For 1958 !!!!
He kills it, and that sax!!!
Ja das ist Musik so was geht ins Blut. Super
Remember this so well. Love it
You are right.
great show, never to be repeated in todays music or ventures
The first 45 record I bought when I was 12, still love it.
RIP DE.......THX FOR THE MUSIC.........THEY DONT MAKE IT LIKE THAT ANY MORE
What a blast from the past, cool.
Bought the 45r.p.m. when R.R. was releasted. Still a great tune after all these years.
I lived in Florida at this time as a kid and remember how popular this song was - along with the "Hula Hoop".
I live in Croatia and remember too. I'm 73. Those were the days!
My big brother had a snare drum 3 pc. Kit and would play to Duane Eddy 45 s long one of my music influences
Love the fact that a good old boy originally from Corning NY 5 miles down the road from me made it big
