The Syd Barrett of rockabilly.

Love this. Vince , or Brian, was my Great Uncle. I never met him but he was really close to my Mum who has watched this.

I'm really surprised that no one has made a Movie yet based on Vince Taylor

This is an incredibly well-made piece. I commend whoever was involved in creating and editing this short! You've managed to perfectly capture Vince's essence, in all of its brilliant and bizarre facets. Watching this made me realize there are a lot of interesting parallels between Vince's life and the underground movie _The World's Greatest Sinner_ from 1962. It depicts a wild rock 'n' roller who declares his own messiah status and slowly descends into madness. The similarities are eerie!

I once mete Vince Taylor 1979 all-day Rock N Roll festival Royalty Southgate North London UK Matchbox were doing their open-mike thing Vince got up out the audience and did Jailhouse Rock after his slot we talked for a while Vince seemed very much together and was happy to talk.

Really enjoyed this. I love these great stories about forgotten rockers.

Good work, want more!

Now this is a biopic that’s gotta happen.

Brilliant video, bravo! I have so much fun watching it. I remember that I used to like Vince a lot (I lived in Switzerland) and believed in his story of being an ex-airline pilot :) ....Thank you for setting the story straight…hahaha!

Never heard of this guy, but now am fascinated by the amazing treatment of his biography. Whip-smart wit. How on earth does anyone dig this deep into someone and find such great footage? Bravo.

Excellent!

I only first learned of Vince Taylor as it was also a song. The non LP Bside of GOLDEN EARRING " Radar Love". Being I'm American - I never heard of him until years later.

This channel is so underrated! You deserve so many more subscribers

That's cool. Thank you very much!

he was paid £200 cash in the UK, he bought some acid tabs with some of the money but took the rest of the money to paris where he burnt it in front of band members. Clearly he never spent £200 on LSD

I met Vince once in Hounslow with his lovely mother.

Brilliant. Thank you for that!

Bobby had double bass drums way before it was really a thing.

LONG LIVE VINCE TAYLOR!! HAIL HAIL ROCK AND ROLL!!

They do need to make a movie about this guy .. lol .

60 to 80 micrograms is enough to induce a good high. 250 micrograms is a very sizeable dose. Acid (LSD) is measured in micrograms which is one millionth of a gram, so a million micrograms equals one gram thats how low of a dose is needed to create effects, even 80 mcg is a good dose for a non user, not an active user but someone who does not use often. As you use LSD your tolerance grows rapidly and the very next after you use if you use again you have to double or triple the dose to get the same effects as the day before.

I like how they show a photo of Johnny Nash to illustrate a mention of Johnny Ace.

Thanks Vince! :-)

How much speed was he on? Dexedrine or Phenmetrazine?

Morrissey looks a fair bit like Vince Taylor, right?

Anyone know if Taylor recorded in France around 1973 which a French Vince Taylor Fan Club released? Allegedly it was recorded in Paris with Big Jim Sullivan and Link Wray. Source: James Patrick Page Session Man website

I swear, the world Vince lived in was just for himself. My parents, my grandparents all knew those dates and none of them had the life anywhere near vinces.

British rock n roll ? great stuff 🙂

Bowie may have met Vince but it was Jobriath that he lifted his sound and more importantly his persona from.

funny.great writing and voice over. well done. well hung and snow white tan.

Comment for the algorithm. How long y’all think it’ll take this channel to hit 1 mil subs? I am curious; how many people y’all got working on this video? Like a few? narrator, editor, writer/researcher, or you do it all, or you part of a bigger collaboration? Jw cause I’m just impressed by the video quality from off the bat. Regardless, well done and hope the best for you!

What’s the song that plays @19:18

He was always crazy. Things manifest itself as you get older. Drugs enhance things

Make more!

wow how crass! Great Story but also so sad..things that drugs do to people..

So did gene Vincent get the leather idea from Vince in the early 60's? Hmmm..Morrison that look on as well obviously a little later.

so sad ... a strange wax

A moterhead is a speed head or someone who uses speed. Just a tid bit of information for you all.

YES hunny!!?! PlayBoi indeed

Joseph Barbera es el cuñado del cantante Vince Taylor y todo por Sheila Holden. otro caso, el actor de PSICOSIS(psycho) Anthony Perkins con Marisa Berenson, por Berry Berenson como "LA REGLA DE LOS CUÑADOS" 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😉😉😉😉😉😉😉 saludos desde Colombia

Really well done. But one wonders: is this how you spend your time?!:)

poor man elvis.

Tuvo un buen inicio, pero se ve qye las drogas si le afectaron al punto que hasta las grabaciones de estudio ya se escuchaban mal, por ejemplo cuando csnto "trouble"

Brand New Cadillac was the B-side because he knew the BBC wouldn't play it.

Eddy barcley était comme il était. Mais une chose est certaine ces que vince a souvent pas honoré ces contrats ces absences ont déçus ces musiciens et l impressiario ce retrouvait en rade avec un publics déchaînés ça peut faire peur. Si elvis avait fait cela Parker l'aurai laissé en rade . Revenon a vince il a raté par la daube et l alcool une grande carrière dommage . Je l'ai vu dans les années fin 70 il était méconnaissable.

that’s the real star....the others were proto types

Cool documentary but surely you got some of the dates well wrong as you say how he was giving in 1964 whilst in France and they hadn't seen anything like this and hardly knew but by 64 Beatlemania was happening and the stones were about then you go on to say how the Beatles took his place in Hamburg but that was 1962?

Sexy and charismatic like Elvis, and also like Elvis Presley strung out on drugs at the end. And Ziggy did not play guitar.

Tony Sharidan.. Err Sheridan

COMUS

You know fuck all about Britain in the 50s or any other decade, son.

Your average hot today isn't 25ug it's 100 but ya 200 pounds in that time is alot of money worth of lsd

That is not an American accent my friend. Its a south England accent!!

Motörhead doesn’t mean what you think it means 😂

Looks like Patrick Bateman.

Did you do any reliable research about the UK of the period?? Don't get to the "pronunciation" 😱

He's like marmite....I like marmite.

Who cares about France?

This guy was just an Elvis wannabe

Really weird anti British undercurrent here.

"a perfectly safe sane and lovely ballad written to peel off pants in parked cars" That there is some good writing. Always shocking when I come across something on youtube that doesn't suck or isn't narrated by some f*cking robot or written for some 12 year old illiterate child with a 10 second attention span. Good work
