Setzer photo gallery

In case anyone missed badkitty's mention of it in the Nagoya thread, there's a big ol' career-spanning image gallery over at briansetzer.com now:
http://www.briansetzer.com/image_gallery.php

Nice work, Niels and all. Some images in there I've never seen before, and all nice and big. Yer gonna give me and Kelley the vapors!

*siggggh, faint*

okay, I had to pulll myself back up on my computer desk, lol
dammit Neils you must be reading my mind or something
thank you for those gorgeous photos

Did you guys notice that this picture has been photoshopped?



On the original picture (the lower one) the button on the collar of Brian's leather jacket shows a Nazi Hakenkreuz (hooked cross). This cross has disappeared on the pic from the gallery(the upper one).

Nope, hadn't noticed. Was too busy looking at that awesome pile of hair and those sharp blue eyes. But now that you mention it, that's pretty interesting!

EDIT: It's now 2021. I am angry that this was my response to seeing Brian Setzer wearing a Nazi swastika.

White supremacy is still a major problem today. We all have a responsibility to do better.

well, the pic does look cleaner, but of course, Brian is still hot in the photo!
maybe Neils wanted us ladies to have a better look, good job!

Uhh Kelley, behave yourself ;-)

can never behave myself otherwise life would be no fun!

but the gallery is cool,

no doubt.

Love all these Mag-Cover

Although I've always liked the brooding quality conveyed in that photo, I did find the Nazi emblem disturbing. Of course he was pretty young when that was taken, & sometimes young people do foolish things without stopping to consider their significance. I agree, though, the gallery is great!

I'd be interested to know the history behind the pin....the swastika had many different "symbolisms" before Nazi Germany. I wonder where he picked it up? Anyone know how to do a photo search on the pin?

Curious,
hrg

So you're saying Setzer used to tie his shoes in little knotsies??

hey whats with the baby pictures, setzer's a grown ass man!!

Some of us like living in the past, tv

Sweet pic, TV! But what's with the photo-shopped Space Invaders on that sweater? Is The Brian an alien life form sympathizer?

hey the space invaders sweater is actually pre Fuhrer indigenous chimayan indian carpet...

ps. c'mon badkitty.. people dont count when it comes to living retro, you just cant overhaul someone's face like a good 50s buick. Otherwise they end up lookin like this:

I Googled swastika along with wheat, oats, grass, grain, barley. Barley is the winner.



Search for "RADwj" - Reichsarbeitsdienst der weibliche Jugend is the Labor Service of the Reich for the Female Youth / German Third Reich.

Ever see the movie Swing Kids? The pin indicated a young woman's membership - voluntary or not - in Hitler's youth labor program.

If it's original and Brian still has the pin it's worth something to military memorabilia collectors today.

The first b/W photo in the gallery is from an old TomCats gigposter. I had a copy but I gave it to a real BS collector who framed it.

I'm keeping my original Tomcats poster..........sorry!

Anyhoo, that sweater picture was taken during a rehearsal for one of the
east coast Christmas tv appearances.........Conan, perhaps?

Maybe Budgie or his pal Maguire can confirm this, as it was Tommy who took that picture, if I recall correctly.

Have a safe drive, Rickipedia!

Rock Around with Ollie Vee indeed!

Oh Boy!
Scatman

I have a photocopy of that Tomcats poster. And when Stray Cats played the ritz NY, in October 1991 , I got all 3 Cats to sign it. I also got to speak to Jim.

that sweater looks so cozy, mmmm
wanna snuggle up to him! serious

anyway, when I was in middle school, someone grabbed my hand and penned a Swastika on it once, didn't know what it meant until someone told me to wash it off right away the other kids got offended, so I did!

that's my little Swastika story
*shrugs*

Yep, this pin is from the f*****g Nazi Gangster.
But back in the 70ies to the early 80ies it was cool to show these kind of pins in the Biker-scene. (in the US & also UK and Europe)
That has nothing to do with Nazi Ideology.
Search for old pics of the US Biker of the Hells Angels and Outlaws, you`ll find a lot of these symbols.
I`m also part of the Biker scene, but i never used these symbols. I hate everything from these period (33 to 45). The Nazi Bastards killed so many people, and destroyed our german culture and artics merits for centuries.
Everywhere in the world people thinking German culture is "Oktoberfest" & "Weisswurst".
But we had so many good people before 33 in culture. (Fritz Lang, Marlene Dietrich, a lot of fantastic jewish musician like Comedian Harmonist)

So, imho the original pic of Brian with the pin shows a young Brian with a Rocker/Biker additude.
Later they changed the pic and it was a good idea to do that.

@Andi: yep, i know "Swing Kids", True story and it happend where i live, in Hamburg.
