Brilliant. I guess this is before Stagger Lee met Billy, and they got down to gambling.
Not sure it's got anything to do with Heavy Metal though.

I'm surprised that they're not household names.

Nice - but it's an energetic take on rock n roll, rather than your actual metal
Excellent stuff. At a guess a precursor for rockabilly as opposed to metal. We need to get @Psychobilly Freakout on the case.

Certainly not a precursor, rockabilly had been around since the early 50's and this video is from 58. A very good example of a lively rockabilly track though.
Good point.

As Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo elduded to this is Rockabilly and they are still doing the rounds, I saw them in 1993 over here and my mate saw them in San Fran a couple of years ago.

Sir Paul invented it in 1968, everyone knows that.

I thought it was invented by Marty McFly in 1955?

The Kinks "You Really Got Me" is from 1964, that's pretty metal like.

Yes, this is rockabilly. For 'metal' you need to hear power chords played, unmuted and muted, and an amp on distortion plus some solo work. IMHO.

Pretty much like the video posted by The Large one and to be honest I was a little worse for wear & much like most of the 50s Rockabilly stars they do like a waffle on about the old days inbetween songs mainly about how they shared a dressing room with Elvis etc which after the first time is not what I want to hear and I also hate it when they tend to do medlays of there greatest hits or covers of other 50s artists when they all tend to have a strong repertoire themselves which is why I go to see them in the first place, not that you will ever recapture the energy of the 50s im not delusional.....
Rant over, they were ok
Not a patch on Hank 111, he is god.
The Van Halen cover certainly is.
