Gene Vincent----the original destroyer of hotel rooms.


Considered the first "true rock and roll bad boy" and contrary to some popular myths---much MUCH more than a "Elvis wannabe" as some have said.

"Race With the Devil" is my fav Vincent track.

More ballsy than anything Elvis did at the same time.

Loves me some Gene Vincent, but that clip is lame. WTF is up with the band? But sadly, not a lot of film of the guy. This is a slideshow, but still pretty cool.
