Gene Vincent - Roll over Beethoven download song

one great singer rock n roll style of his own

This Jungle Music is a Menace to today's youth! Still! Cool, daddyoh!

And that ladies and gentlemen is played completely live played by a band that utterly understood the importance of dynamics and used it to great effect. I bet if you were standing on that stage you could carry on a conversation with somebody and hear what they are saying. So many bands today are so f**ked up when it comes to dynamics, the drummer plays loud and drowns out everyone so they turn up to be heard then the guitar ends up too loud and it just goes back and forth back and forth with the singer being drowned out, just utterly retarded. If you can't understand dynamics, playing as one unit, as one sound source, then you shouldn't even be in a band.

This is truly ROCK N ROCK.... what talent Gene Vincent.

Where were these guys when the Beatles entered the scene ?

cracking performer, too young to see him, too old to see anyone like him again! Lets dance

favourited! loving his expressions throughout the vid. He loved this song and he really loves that guitar/ist. This is the second or third time I've watched a video of him turning to watch the guitarist when he's not busy singing. So lovely

When was this recorded? I love it.

hey yeah. i am twenty... and found this kind of music this year again. I really love it more then every other music i listen to. As Snickers said... it is on a far higher level than today's music! Twist on everybody!

Just want to point out something that you might not have noticed: On a Fender Jazzmaster, the guitar has 2 circuits, a rhythm and lead. On the lead one, you can switch between the neck and bridge pickup but you can’t do this on the rhythm circuit. During the first solo, the guitar is pretty low and muted. This is because he didn’t switch to the lead circuit. Gene leans in at 0:48, trying to switch Jerry to the bridge pickup but this doesn’t work since he is on the rhythm circuit. During the second solo, he switches and that is why the sound is a lot louder and clearer. This is all assumption of course, but I’ve made the mistake of not switching. Still, Jerry does a great job on guitar!

I am so glad you two hooligans have patched things up. I was about ready to enter the fray and demolish both of youse. Rock on, lads.

Gene Vincent was something never heard before ;)

Never really liked this song too much before but I'd never heard Gene singing until now! Wow, what a great feel. He made it his own there....

To me the best version of "Roll Over Beethoven" I have ever heard (and I have heard quite a few)....is the Beatles version with George Harrison doing the double tracked lead vocals....the vocal energy just seemed very high on that recording. Although George's lead guitar playing was not that refined yet....there is something really uplifting about the whole recording.....makes ya want to get up and dance

Well, it brought memories of my Dad singing it in the late 50s through the 60s. It certainly helped me to learn new licks on the guitar.
