That Gretsch is a thing of beauty. How such a chaotic song can be played so precisely... wow.

[@inelhuayocan_aci]

I was just explaining to my wife the differences between types of builds and then brands of said builds like the Gretsch hollowbodies vs. Gibson. A thing of beauty, my dude.

That's just the Rev in all his greatness

One of the greatest, most talented, hardest working bands to come along in a long time. These guys earn every penny.

Happy 61st Birthday November 2, 1959 Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath. Texas born, Texas raised and one kick ass performer ! Cheers Rev .....

Lots of other “kick ass” performs that were born in Texas. Most are resting In Peace but won’t be forgotten…

My guy, I was 16 when I heard this Gem!, Now I'm 35.....I ll do the math, it's 28 years bro since this masterpiece... I'm a 1988 year cat btw!

[@adamjenkins190]

I absolutely adore this band. Every time they come around my way, I'm there.

[@garethjones6566]

I first seen the Good Reverend in 1992 at The Venue in New Cross, London. On the same bill as The Dwarves and The Supersuckers. The Dwarves caused a riot and fought the audience but The Reverend Horton Heat ruled that night and I have been a fan since.

[@milnthorpe31584]

That's one hell of a line up!

[@MooseKINGstudios]

Love the psychotic laugh! It gives me shivers every time.

[@Bkesal14]

Literally the last thing I expected to see on kexp, takes me right back to the days of guitar hero 2!

[@gastankbassgtb3894]

Should have seen it live back in the 90's!

[@Rhodiac]

@@gastankbassgtb3894 i was just a wee bairn

[@jackdempsey9644]

Saw them MANY times like at least 40 times but the best ever was Fremont Street Las Vegas 1994. That shit was surreal!

[@geofirey5947]

Gonna see them play in San Antonio this month!!!!

[@StopPanakinAnakin]

After playing this time and time again, so cool to see this live in the last decade !

[@Deader87]

I myself went to see Reverend Horton Heat about three years ago at the historic Ashland Armory here in my current hometown of Ashland, Oregon USA! I loved it as it was so much fun.

[@santiagosanchezblanco9430]

Esa guitarra es una brillante espada.El Reverendo Horton Heat es un magnífico francotirador del más virulento psych-rockabilly.Rockanroll speed King.

[@dakotajensen181]

The drums will never get old and so fun to play along with this track

[@davidsmith1898]

The sound of that Gretsch! Amazing.

[@davidhines68]

Thankfully, KEXP has an excellent sound team. Awesome performance and recording.

Awesome guys. Got to spend some time with J-I-M-B-O after a concert in Fargo, ND. Nicest guy ever. They put on a great show.

Preach it Rev!!! #ReverendHortonHeat

[@bathoriny.bassos]

Nostalgia, GUITAR HERO PS2 ♥️

[@baroqueguitarist5673]

If Lemmy from Motorhead decided to pursue his love of Little Richard and Rockabilly guitar instead of starting Motorhead .... And in an alternate reality got famous instead in the 80s along with the Stray Cats both bringing Rockabilly back .... I imagine it would have sounded something like this band. Sounds like Motorhead playing Rockabilly

[@LauraHalvar]

Dallas. Granada. Sept. 23, 2023. Just got tix. Be there or be square. 😂 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏾💀

Didn't know James Hetfield sang psychobilly freakout

[@martyfan11agnosticalienfan]

+Rav Fontanilla Someone needs to suggest that to him lol, as that would be awesome.

[@RegretfulDeadMan]

Rav Fontanilla It looks like James' dad or maybe James in another 15-20 years

[@jaykstah]

James is over 50 years old. If that was his dad those would be some magical genes.

[@deicidemaul]

James Hetfield is not on this fellas level my friend

They did a cover of Ace of Spades at last night's show

[@robwasnj]

even earlier in the song but absolutely, we saw them play last night.

[@richardcallaghan68]

I always hear The Meteors guitar from Rawhide in there too. Great track, the entire band are on point (even a drum roll on the double bass drums at the end) noice

That's what I'm hearing the whole song.

[@alienstarguest]

I wonder if these guys ever toured with Drive By Truckers. That would be a glorious psychobilly/southern freakout. Toss in SCOTS too.

[@mattmcsherry761]

I want a Reverand Horton Heat, The Living End and Stray Cats tour.

HOLY SHIT the guitar sounds like the starvations. Grew up hearing this bands name here and there but never gave em a listen. The starvations are one of my favorite bands of all time, not really ever very popular

This is very good. Seems a lot like "Ace of Spades" to me. Booth are very good, with similar energy. Does anyone agree? Do we have an explanation?

[@briarwolverine9316]

OMG! HE looks exactly like James Hetfield of Metallica without facial hairs.
