Talk:Gene Vincent

Untitled
This page does not equate with the Eddie Cochran page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Cochran) which states that they were BOTH in the same road accident. Both pages cannot be correct. 86.138.219.119 (talk) 21:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)EH

Editing
I'll leave it to someone else but this page needs editing. There's a bunch of irrelevant stuff about Eddie Cochran's guitar and Marc Bolan, etc that should be excised, and a great deal more info that is missing.

Also that Sounds Inc bit is pure POV.

Rumors
Uncited rumors have no place in an encyclopedic article. I've moved them to here until proper cites can be found, even then it's arguable whether they are pertinent. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * ==Tangents and Rumors==
 * The car and other items from the crash were impounded at the local police station until a coroner's inquest could be held. At that time, David Harman, later of the band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, was a police cadet at the station, and taught himself to play guitar on Eddie Cochran's impounded Gretsch.


 * A rumor circulates that an unknown rock 'n' roll fan, Mark Feld had carried the same guitar to the limousine from a London gig the night before. Feld later changed his name to Marc Bolan and became one of the stars of the British Glam Rock scene of the 1970s. This is unlikely as Vincent and Cochran were completing a weeks engagement in Bristol and had not performed in London the night before.

I agree 100%. Thanks for taking the next logical step. Steve Pastor (talk) 19:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The Bolan story is rubbish, the Dave Dee story isn't Educated Guest (talk) 17:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I read somewhere that dave Dee was the first officer on the scene of the crash. (83.13.39.98 (talk) 21:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC))


 * According to the booklet inside the "Double Play" album "Gene Vincent, Be Bop A Lula 19 Track Collection" it states that "While in hospital due to a broken leg which did not mend properly he brought a song from fellow patient Donald Graves for $35, The song Be Bop A Lula was eventually released in June 1956..." Which story is correct? Did Gene Vincent write the song or buy it from someone in hospital? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.73.29 (talk) 19:31, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

other support artists
Wasn't one of the Blue Caps (Johnny Meeks?) on "I'm Back and I'm Proud", also am I correct in thinking "Scarlet Ribbons" was a duet with Gene and his wife? On his final tour, I believe he also had support from the Houseshakers. (83.13.39.98 (talk) 22:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC))

Joe Meek
Why is there no mention of Gene's work with Joe Meek? Both tracks for the Live It Up film were recorded with Joe Meek. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.142.47 (talk) 12:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Suggestive Lyrics
Since the release of the songs, it has been suggested that in "Woman Love" and "Lotta Lovin'", the word "huggin'" sounds like something else. One can listen and judge for oneself.76.199.8.224 (talk) 07:30, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

"Be-Bop-A-Lula"
"Be-Bop-A-Lula" peaked at #7 (Best Sellers in Stores), #9 (Top 100), #10 (Most Played in Juke Boxes), #11 (Most Played by Jockeys). "Be-Bop-A-Lula" never peaked at #5 on any Billboard pop chart, contrary to article's claim.107.185.97.165 (talk) 00:33, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

George Harrison not Paul McCartney
The story in Hamburg about Gene holding up his girlfriend wi@th a gun should be credited to George Harrison not Paul McCartney. It is mentioned in the Beatles Anthology book. 2A00:23C7:DF8C:2401:9987:DC66:6290:94E5 (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
