@johnbastille5483

Same here! In both cases!!

@TheTManShow

They played this song in our Humvee in the desert in iraq when our convoy was going to Kuwait.... I'll never forget this song being BLASTED on our boombox lol. It was our piece of calmness and peace for a few hours before we hit our red zone. Then we went complete silent

@guygranger7894

the classics have gotten a bad rap with people dissing them by picking out a few losers. There is a WORLD of good vintage rock songs available to hear any time. Just a few good ones in my collection. Lucile by Little Richard. High blood pressure by Huey ( piano ) smith.LaBamba by Richie Valenz,North to Alaska by Johnny Horton. There are millions of them.

@gailolin1757

Heck yes, we do!! This was the fight song for my high school.. Robert E.Lee High School, San Antonio Texas. "The Home of Champions"...We produced Tommy Kramer, Richard Osborne, Pat Rockett and Bruce Collie. Great tradition for us wrapped up in Rebel Rouser. "Fight on, Lee Volunteers" !!!!!

@glenw-xm5zf

Actually, we do know, and you kids have our sympathy. Today the world is ruled by perv's and mega noise. Yesterday it was partly sane with great music. . Type in' Rebel Rouse.' by Duane Eddy. You also might like My Special Angel by Bobby Helms. It is timeless.. and Poor Side of Town,by Johnny rivers.. Then do a chase on anything by Buddy Holly.

I saw Duane Eddie in Vancouver 1958-9 live. It was fantastic. The 'twangy' box was there (tremelo)... They really hit it. The sax player played so loud he blew all the air in his lungs in less than 5 seconds at a time. It was great to hear Rebel Rouser and it did really have an absolute impact on the teenage consciousness of the time. Wonderful to hear it again.

I have his first record I found it in a beat of bin in this second hand store and I took it to my aunts an she had this record player you wind up to get it to play. Pretty soon my cousins are yelling at me how many times are you going to play that thing. I knew I was going to play the guitar at that moment! She was my dad's sister Alice and still calls me by my nickname dad gave to me when I was a baby. She's alive but very sick. She yells it out as I come into the room. I don't have the heart to tell her don't call me that name. She recognizes me and that is rare for her now. God I love that aunt! ❤️😇

@timothybladon9958

Always one of my favorites and probably the first thing I ever heard by Duane Eddy.

@johnryder1713

The real precursor to modern guitar music

@lastrada52

The wailing sax on this studio version -- which became a huge hit -- was over-dubbed by Los Angeles session musician Gil Bernal. The yells and hand claps were provided by a doo-wop group The Sharps -- who later became The Rivingtons. They had hits with "Papa Oom Mow Mow," and "The Bird's The Word." I believe Lee Hazelwood produced the track -- he later went on to fame as Nancy Sinatra's songwriter ("These Boots Were Made for Walkin'") and later co-singer with Nancy.

@susanwines9668

When I was in junior high, I rode in a regimented team that used this song to perform at Little Britches rodeos. It was perfect for easy cantering then galloping. We could easily interweave figure eights, then tighter circles. This song hits me in my heart. I had a small white appaloosa that was part, Arabian. My dad bought him from a rancher who needed a working horse and this one stayed small. Ya can't rope cattle if the horse weighs less than the cow. The rancher had no imagination about naming him (I think that's just manly rancher ways), but his name was Appy for Appaloosa. I wanted to name him Domino, but he answered to Appy so I called him Happy! I cannot tell you how much I loved Happy and what buddies we were. I joined the Army after graduating high school and my dad insisted that I handle selling him. The angst in the novel Black Beauty didn't come close to how my heart was being ripped out. That was over 45 years ago and, damn, it still gets my heart. I had a horse dealer come over and he badmouthed my horse. I'm telling Happy, Don't listen to him, man, you're a fine horse. My mom was watching and later told me how proud she was that I didn't back down from my price (I set my rock bottom price in the ad, I'm a straight-shooter, cards on the table sort of person). My mom also knew that the trader had a woman customer who wanted a spirited horse so that was good. For years, I couldn't drive past a pasture and see a white horse without wondering if that was Happy until finally, I realized that he must have been 10 when I sold him so he probably wasn't alive. Well, telling this story sure cleared out my sinuses. My dad sold our place and retired that year so they could travel the US -- hence my need for a career plan at 18. So I have some insight now ... play to your strengths, don't spend a bunch of time working on your weaknesses. You'll be happier and more successful. Maybe it was just a different time. Do parents still try to toughen up their kids?
