Setzer is awesome! First time I saw him was with the Stray Cats @ the Bacchanal in San Diego back in the 80's. Have seen him several more times with the orchestra. Always puts on a great show....:dude:

I always loved the way Brian played.

Broke into chord vamping with my pinkie by listening to and watching Mr. Setzer playing Stray Cat Strut... which was also the song that got me using a lot of barre chords for the very first time. This was a thing that expanded my musical horizons considerably.

I was watching their live at Rockpalast 1981. just last night. I always liked his style specially that magic with Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom. Nothing beats those three cool cat's furious performance.

Oh man, I'm a Setzer freak!!! Nice to see him get some attention! I've got my Christmas show tickets already, November 30th! Wouldn't miss it. The guys got style, taste, writes good tunes, and has the chops of a virtuoso. Working on Stray Cats/BSO tunes is a hell of a guitar workout!

If anyone asked who I would like to play as good as, I would name Setzer REAL quick.

Boy is he on the top of his game, Awesome guitarist. How the heck does he do the transition from using a pick to fingerpicking so easy. He makes it look so simple but my pick always ends up on the floor.
