This why I'm glad USA didn't successfully destroy Japan in WWW II.For all those who don't know,this is surf instro music,and you can't always jump around like some punk rocker who thinks he's playing the right chords. You have to be precise,and accurately hit the notes. Reverb, It's A Way Of Life! |

Don't worry, you youngsters will eventually learn to appreciate class and style. That includes you Ralf! Who wants to see a middle age guy acting like a punk rocker anyway? He would have dishonored his family by doing so. |

Agreed, it's family entertainment music for people who don't normally listen to music isn't it. Yuzo can do better. |

Wow, that was fantastic, Zac......what a beautiful shade of blue his guitar is, reminds me of Fender Sonic Blue, one of my favourites. Thanks for the link, Fantastic!!!! —www.myspace.com/sandyandthesurfsonics |

Interesting to hear these two masters--while it is supposedly the same type of instro-rock, they sound so different-not just tonally, but their whole approach. Good to see a loosely structured song like this allow these two to stretch a bit. |

Check out this instead. I've never seen the black and white Launchers footage before. |

Are you guys kidding or what. Pretty demanding of you. You must not have been to very many contemporary surf shows. Yuzo here looks highly animated compared to a lot of the guitarists I've seen and his tone is a lot better than most. |

Listen to how tight they are. How many bands sound that tight? Definitely no surf bands I can think of. While I would agree it was a number lacking in the "punk rock" energy. Not every song can do that, nor should it. Hard to beat Yuzo back in the day: |

Here's a 2008 clip with some sparkle. Apparently Yuzo lost his Mosrites...doesn't sound as good. I really don't think he has slowed down at all. He sure looks good for his age, imagine Elvis in 2008 if he'd made it that far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRjnKKN30qk&feature=related |

Holy Fudge, thanks for the video. I love it when they do their Glissandos. All fancy with the finger work(hehe). Judging by the several clips this video has I bet there's tons of footage of Yuzo Kayama "Live" back in the day. Are those white guitars Teiscos? Nice lookin' things. — |

He used his original pearl white Mosrite (which was given to him by the Ventures in 1965) up into the 90's when he got the blue new one. Here's an 80's clip of the former where it sounds like shit although not as bad as his disco backing band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCuww52uz_I
Actually, beside the short glimpses of b&w Launchers footage I mentioned above, everything in the first minute is from the Eleki No Wakadaisho movie.
Yep, those are Teisco guitars. And for anyone interested in more Yuzo Kayama 60's clips, check out this thread for some great stuff: http://www.surfguitar101.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=6187 — |
