I grew up with my dad playing Sabbath Sabotage, The Who, Deep Purple Machine head aswell as pretty much everything Fogerty, no way u come here without a good reason! 😎
The lethal combo of lyrics and a speaking guitar is made possible by John Fogerty! A voice as mellow as wild honey, guitar croons like a Amazonian woman. John U kept me sane & happy in a cold desert @24000 feet for 120 days. Thanks man.
Two years later, I can confirm this. Saw him live, first show he's performed since getting the rights to his music back, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Legendary.
@@kanelewis4556, no... a pastel blue mustang with bucket seats and an 8 track player. You just couldn't keep the tapes in your car during Summertime in Texas. A few of mine just melted in 110 degree weather
The Fogerty Bros. went to my high school (El Cerrito 94530). No swaps there! I did make it to Lodi on my BSA 441 Victor once but luckily didn't get stuck there. I think I heard them play a couple of times live. What an experience. We had some real talent in the S.F. Bay Area back in the day.
True it is a little like RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE, but I love it an you cannot rip-off yourself! My Hat Goes Off to the talent of Mr. John Fogerty. This Video really looks like ONE TAKE~ So well done
I remember watching this video in 85 when it first came out on MTV, back when MTV was cool. They played rock and metal and no rap and bubble gum BS! We were all metal and hard rock teenagers. When this played it had all of our attention, simply because the voice. We all knew it was the CCR dude, yes John Fucking Fogerty and we all loved it! Man, time passes so quick. Now it's a classic just like me and all my old friends from the 80's! We also grew up as kids in the 70's where some of the best music that was ever written began. If not the 70's rock, there would be no hard rock and metal! kudos to AC/DC and ZZ-top and everything in between.
I just remember it coming out the first time and I was like umm what the fuck is this 😂 that’s why the 80s will go down in history as one of the best decades
This is a kick ass song. The video enhances the meaning so that listeners can form their own opinions as to how it relates to them personally. John Fogerty, as a guitarist is in a league of his own with masterful unique chord changes, coupled with a touch of reverb. His lyrics are haunting to say the least. Love this guy
My father was a mean drunk with a fowl ruined spirit. This song was the only way I could describe him to others. The video still is one of the most brilliant ever! Huge Fogerty fan here in Nova Scotia !
@@bluesmokerH1 Maybe he was beat everyday, maybe he wasn’t, Ronald Reagan father used to put cigarettes out on his neck, he became one of the best President’s in history No excuse in life
Just remember darling, he's the one who had to live inside his own head, you are lucky you were just an on looker, my sympathy though, Australian Carolx
Funny thing, I was listening to ZRock back around 1990, got introduced to a LOT of cool metal stuff there, even got my introduction to TROUBLE (Misery Shows, Act II)on ZRock, but they even played CCR Green River amongst all the metal and hard rock tunes (Metallica, Motorhead, Megadeth, Primus, Metal Church, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc etc etc).... shows what respect there was for the rock guitar sound of JC Fogerty...love him and them always
@@josephsimeon6117 If you do not recognize the riff in I Heard It Through the Grapevine then you haven't heard one that inspired hundreds to follow....
Well listen to all the southern rock from The Band and they were mostly Canadian it's the soul of the artist not their demographics always that's why some white boys can rap or play the blues too.
This was 1985 and videos were slapping. This video is an example of less is more. Following the cord was perfect. From 83 to 87 MTV was at the height of their powers.
Awesome song! John has such a strong, distinctive voice that whether CCR, solo or background vocals you immediately know it is the amazing John Fogarty.
@@TheShiningEnergy The owner of the publishing rights sued him. In order to get out of a bad contract he had to sell his publishing rights. It took a long time but he did finally get them back.
One of my favorites!!! I grew up listening to gangsta rap all day being from the hood!!! Imagine me bumping this in my Lincoln continental!!! Lol…. Now that’s gangsta!!!
This song reminds me when my Dad and I would hang out and shoot pool. Miss You Dad, not a day goes by that I don't think of you, Love You Old Man. Rest In Paradise Dad, till next time we meet.. 😔🙏
Damn john U really r fn cool cat. Love this album . Went to Cape York in a pacer. Only tape. .cheers bud ☝️🤟live long an prosper. An come to aust 👍please book the huge arenas U will fill em😎💪🏆
One of my faves.... How is it that every song John makes is an amazing story, some even books, the man is genius, and playing the six string is built into his DNA for sure....
@@brianwade879 Army. Was only in from 85-88. In hindsight I regret not making a career out of it. I would have had my 20 years in 16 years ago this September. But instead, I am now 54 and still working my ass off!
I remember watching this video when I was a little kid and thinking it so weird. I totally forgot it until I heard the song a few days ago. It really stuck in head so I decided to try to find it on here. Brings back great memories❤️
Fogerty one of those gifts from God that is so good he is in a class all by himself, a genre(sound, band, institution unto its or himself) few measure up Johnny Cash, Steve Winwood, Jim Morrison, and Joe Walsh.
An American Gothic Folklore Mythological bad ass - "John" walking with his silver stringed guitar right out of a Manly Wade Wellman American folk-story.
I've always loved CCR even though they were a bit before my time. My parents listened to them when I was little. CCR brings back some of my best childhood memories 😍
I remember watching this video as a kid in the 80s and that part at the end where John is standing there playing his Strat in the road was so iconic and badass.
someone hear this song on 2024?
Nope and its still only 2025.
me,now
Who knows
YES ! 😎
On it
Anybody listing to this in 2024 I salute you have a beautiful day🫡
Me😅 good song
@@streetglidelover Amen brother 🤙🏼
We play this song in my band, I love it.
This song just popped into my head for some reason
Even better seeing the great June 7, 2024, Camden NJ water front.
You searched for this song it didn’t show in your feeds. You have good taste in music
I grew up with my dad playing Sabbath Sabotage, The Who, Deep Purple Machine head aswell as pretty much everything Fogerty, no way u come here without a good reason! 😎
I wonder if the old man down the road ever met the man living in a van down by the river.
on a steady diet of government cheese.
Fogerty is a legend
This is still one of the coolest songs around.
Someone hear this song on 2023?
Me
Yep
Yep,were here!!!
Yes
Только сейчас первый, 16.12.2023 г
Back when MTV played music videos.
They took two 5 minute breaks for news in the hour. The Saturday Night Concert was 🔥
Nowdays im the old man down the road... Long live rock n roll❤❤❤❤❤❤
How is this guy not from Louisiana? He’s always captured that swampy vibe from California. So glad he got back to music after the CCR fiasco.
the guitar, vocals, that swamp dance rhythm,
so Americana, I don't see how he's not an honorary Louisianan..🤷🏼
That opening guitar riff is so swamp.
Damn right it is.
This is why I never left the 80’s.
I remember hearing it on late-night radio in Dec. 1984. The DJ sounded pretty excited to play it!
But the 80s and all the crazy colored clothing and big hair notably left you. ( I hope )
Well we are in the 20's man. It applies here to.
We're the old man/woman now.
Take the 80 s over today
Born in 63 listening for a few years now
*MUSIC IS THE ONLY TIME MACHINE*
This song is forever nice
The first time i heard this song I had to listen to it again, and again, and again
Fogerty is the man
I'm still listening.
One of the greatest American songwriters
The GOAT

Booyah son great song Booyah
one of the best music videos out there. I like how Fogerty shows up over and over while the camera never has a cut
many cuts
Very clever cuts
Serious a genius video in every way. I mean… I mean … I mean. Phew!
Yep
@@stoots1000yep, they were very subtle.
You can tell older music is through the soul and not materialized like today’s music!!!!
What a lot of good and lousy memories of this 81 year young Grannie’s life and love of CCR and John Fogerty! Super! Keep on truck in’, John!
Nunca me voy a cansar de escuchar ese temazo 🔥 ❤
Ya somos dos
❤
John Fogerty's voice is CCR!
For a Northern Cali boy, John Fogerty certainly writes the best swamp rock. 👍🐊

18 and still prefer this kind of songs rather than the musics nowadays
John was the heart and soul of CCR great songwriter and performer
True it is a little like RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE, but I love it an you cannot rip-off yourself! My Hat Goes Off to the talent of Mr. John Fogerty. This Video really looks like ONE TAKE~ So well done

Can you imagine the everyday beatings the old had to endure to make him that way?

Hell yeah.+ Rock & Roll 🥐🤘
I'm an absolute metalhead but I love John fogerty can listen to him anytime of the day. Without John ccr would never had existed
He is CCR
you should listen to the awesome music of the 1980s instead of metal
@@barrydavid6634 that's what I listen to the awesome 80's metal. I grew up in the 80's
Same here

This is my absolute favorite song when I'm touring with my 1972 Buick Riviera. Volume at 10+.
Hell yeah!
Love it!!!
Yea, but i have one that goes to eleven
Billy da kid from down Under loves this song 🤗👌🤙🍺👍
Still one of the best ❤
One of best guitarists in music history. God Bless John Fogerty
HOLD UP, SWOLE UP.... I love John Foggerty... But one of the BEST guitarist in rock history??? ... NAHHHH, not even top 10
@@luckyleo24 he made some of the most famous riffs in Rock history in my opinion. Definitely top ten in my opinion
Agreed.
Hes even BETTER these days.

I love rock N roll I say the best rock band of all time is CCR long live John forgety
one of the best videos ever (of course the song)
2024 and still kicking 🎉
John Fogerty = BEAST MODE 100% of the time!
Possibly John's last classic song. How someone from Berkeley, CA could write Swamp Rock this good is a testament to his talent!
His mind was expanded by the LSD tests going in there from the early 60s onwards
LSD does not bring the swamp
To you.
Frank, extremely well thought out reply. Did it require copious amounts of substances for such clarity? Take care and Peace!
Well listen to all the southern rock from The Band and they were mostly Canadian it's the soul of the artist not their demographics always that's why some white boys can rap or play the blues too.
It as clasic
This song brings back great memories!
This was 1985 and videos were slapping. This video is an example of less is more. Following the cord was perfect. From 83 to 87 MTV was at the height of their powers.
What a beautiful voice
Can never get enough CCR.
Happy Birthday To You John Forgerty
New fan here.
This song sticks like glue from the moment you hear it!!
That opening riff...berr da derrn derrn derrrr...just sets that hook
Love this, could listen to this all day!!
One of the first music videos i can ever remember.
Great Song. Great Video.............
Awesome song! John has such a strong, distinctive voice that whether CCR, solo or background vocals you immediately know it is the amazing John Fogarty.
LOL, so distinctive CCR sued him for this song. When in court he told the judge of course it sounds like CCR, I created the sound, its my sound.
@@BamaBull i don't think CCR sued him. i think it was the record company.

Yet another oldie, I'm 68 and still rocking! I'm hunting down old rock videos. Next up is the Boxtops, baby wrote me a letter..
One of the best 🥰
Probably one of the tightest songs ever, every note is so impactful
Fogerty: "When we went to the studio to do the little parts, I had no idea what my hands would do that day"
This song reminds me when my Dad and I would hang out and shoot pool. Miss You Dad, not a day goes by that I don't think of you, Love You Old Man. Rest In Paradise Dad, till next time we meet.. 😔🙏
Another classic song, that never gets the credit, and air play it so well deserves

A troubled soul and a great musician. This number is the absolute pinnacle of folk rock.
I can't possible love this song anymore than i already do. Seriously!!!

One of the greatest songwriters and singers ever!
One of my faves.... How is it that every song John makes is an amazing story, some even books, the man is genius, and playing the six string is built into his DNA for sure....
Ultimate summertime drinking music is what he makes😂
Still listening New years eve,!!!!!!
The sheer genius of JC Fogerty whose only fault in music was "sounding like himself"!!! LOVE CCR and JC Fogerty, rock on my brothers!!!
I love this classic, who else must confess the same? Come on!!!!
Yep 👍
Killer axe lick, always been a fan
Rip mum she loved this song x
He make the river call your lover..
He make the barking of the hound

I graduated in 1985. This is the last cool song I remember hearing before shipping out to Ft. Benning, GA.
I was stationed at MCAS Beaufort SC. When this song came out. My how time flies.

This song beats it all
Love the look on John’s face when he’s revealed at the end, it’s like he’s saying “I’M BACK!!!”
I must’ve been 9 years old when I found John Fogerty, I knew this was good.
