Chuck Berry: The Father of Rock and Roll
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened in 1986, Chuck Berry was the first inductee. That’s all that needs to be said, really, but we have some more if you want. There are, of course, the standard accolades: one of the best guitarists of all time, one of the best musicians of all time, one of the founders of rock & roll etc. etc. But Chuck Berry can boast one unique honor that no other rocker can - his rock music will be the only one heard by aliens.
Back in 1977, when NASA launched the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes into deep space, they included two copies of a golden record that contained a collection of sights and sounds of life on Earth. Therefore, if thousands, even millions of years from now, an intelligent alien species would find the probes, the golden record would act as a sort of time capsule. Among other things, the record includes a diverse 90-minute selection of music, carefully picked by a committee led by Carl Sagan to showcase the best that human culture had to offer. Only one rock & roll song made the cut - Chuck Berry’s iconic “Johnny B. Goode.”

One of the few things John Lennon said that is still true, "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry.'"
The movie Back to the Future introduced Chuck Berry to a lot of people.
_"Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it."_
*~ Marty Mcfly 1955*
I was fortunate enough to see Chuck Berry in concert at Magic Mountain in Sanat Clarita (at that time, Valencia), California. It was so much fun seeing this man, who in my mind is the personification of rock'n'roll, performing live. When I hear the words "rock'n'roll," it is Chuck Berry who is the first person who comes to my mind.
Chuck Berry stayed true to his art. Father of Rock is correctly titled even though some are trying to discredit it.
Was privileged to see him perform Inna car dealership parking lot in S. Delta, B.C., Canada. Wanda show !
My favorite story ive ever heard about Chuck Berry was at one particular show he arrived without a band and asked the house or opening band to back him. When one of the band members asked him what songs they'd be playing Berry responded "c'mon man im Chuck Berry, were gonna play Chuck Berry songs" 😅
The kind of ego you just can't help but appreciate lol
My first album was "Nothing Left To Lose" by the Foo Fighters. It still holds up.
My first Abum was in Flames: Colony. Absolutely loved it! Anyone else here feeling the fire?🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same, actually. I think I still have it too. Absolutely epic album. I think after that I bought Soilwork's Predator's Portrait.
@@Biographics nice
@@Biographics How about a Biographics on Bruno Sammartino
chuck berry was a legend, 'you never can tell' is my favourite.
The change of host was a little jarring at first but you seem to have gotten comfortable and I like that you're adding your own personal touch and encouraging light hearted conversation as an engagement tactic.
This Aussie met Chuck Berry when I was 16 (1979); he'd just stormed off stage & ended the show after twice politely asking the audience to stop throwing flowers etc on stage while he was playing. (As almost ALL musicians do.) He was in a rage vowing never to return to my home town. (Cairns.)
But when I hesitantly asked him for his autograph, he became the epitome of grace & good manners and kindly gave it with a "thank you son".
Age 20 (1983) & in Army uniform I bumped into him at Melbourne Airport. I asked him again for his autograph (as I'd lost the 1st one) and we had a lovely chat in the minute or so. (Although he didn't serve, he respected the Armed Services; Hence "Too Much Monkey Business" - can relate to that one!) I still have that autograph! (Can scan & send; he also included a "happy smile".)
He was a gentleman to me & I think you underestimate his genius & influence. (Almost every guitarist since ... Beatles, Stones, AC/DC, Clapton ... etc etc.)
Nobody is perfect.
Lol nobody is perfect, he filmed women in the bathroom in his restaurant.

My first album was probably "Sergeant Pepper". As a child, I was looking at the cover for hours, asking my parents about all the people featured on the cover. After a while, the record was totally scratched (I was about 3-4 years old), so my parents had to buy a new one and I got the scratched one to look at as long as I wanted to.
My mom's cat is named Sergeant Pepper lol
I got to see Chuck Berry live at the University of Arizona in Tucson somewhere around 1978
I think the first album I ever bought with my own money was “…And In This Corner” by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. So yeah. I’m a child of the 80s.
Also I dig the John Cena “Never Give Up” sign in the background.
I can’t remember the very first album I bought, but I remember having best of albums for Buddy Holly, David Bowie and The Ramones when I was a kid/teenager.
You’ve improved greatly. Thank you.
The true king of rock n roll Chuck Berry and my first album (CD) i bought and really remember ... Peter Tosh- legalize it.
My personal favourite is'Roll over Beethoven' and still love snips of him doing the Duck walk, which is amazing to watch.
Chuck was notoriously difficulties to work with. He didn't tour witha band of his own. He required the venue to hire local musicians to support him at a gig where he would be booked. And he would require the band assembled for a particular gig to not only know his songs without having rehearsed with any of them, but to also know what song he was going to play once he started playing. Nevertheless, everyone wanted to play with him.
The most important guitarists of rock history began due to his influence. George Harrison and Keith Richards among others have claimed Chuck as the reason they started playing, to the point that we have no idea whether either of them would have ever picked up a guitar at all, without him. That influence alone makes him the most indispensable guitarist in rock history.
Bruce Springsteen can vouch for that!
YES, most of us have seen the angry quarrel between Berry and Keith Richards (of the Stones). Berry wanted it done a very certain way.
True. Plus, he also required cash immediately after the show
Best bio of him I have seen. After all this time, I never thought I'd learn something new about this man, but now I have.
Chuck Berry is the greatest
HE WAS A BRILLIANT GUITARIST !!!!! NEVER ANOTHER LIKE HIM .
1st album was the specials " the specials " still love ska
Chuck Berry stayed true to his art. Father of Rock is REALLY deserving! Please guys do Carolus rex of sweden next!
great piece, thanks
The first album I bought was Swimming - Mac Miller, although I also bought a Fleetwood Mac compilation, and a Tracy Chapman compilation on the same day, but I wouldn't count those as albums.
“I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was artist and didn’t paint”
Chuck Berry
"Yes, that is my real name." 😂 Nice first album, absolute classic power metal album.
Mine was Randy Rhoads live tribute album By ozzy osbourne and slipknots Vol.3 Subliminal Verses. Learned how to play both albums on guitar after i bought them at 13
My first was In Flames: Colony.
I love it!
@@Biographicscool
First album…Grease soundtrack. Yes, it was a new movie at the time…
My sons first album was Godsmack 🤟🤟
Ashley Says So recently did the best biography of Chuck Berry I have ever heard. Everybody should hear it at least once.
You should do more videos on Rock n’ Roll guitar legends like Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen etc. That would be amazing
Man Karl is growing on me
If Simon (unlikely) decides to return, you two could rotate each video so we get the best of both worlds
My first album that I purchased with my own money was The Chipmunks Christmas album. I was four. Still clearly remember it. Still have the album.
I wasn't going to share mine because it's a tad bit embarrassing but with all the haters jn the comments I want to make Biographics team snort smile at my comment.
When I was 6 years old I asked my Aunt to take me to buy Michael Jackson's album Dangerous. I played that tape over and over again for years.
A couple of years later I once again asked my Aunt to take me to buy an album. This time it was The Prodigy's Fat of the Land. Which also got many good years of use. My poor aunt was left wondering what happened to her adorable niece singing "Heal the World" and when was she replaced with a tween screaming "I'm a fire starter a twisted fire starter" 😂😂😂
Karl you're wonderful. Never change and please don't ever leave us 💙💙💙
My fav story about Chuck Berry is the one involving a chicken restaurant. Rock n Roll!!!
My first album i bought for myself The Beatles Revolver.
First record I ever bought: 'Built For Speed' - The Stray Cats
I always remember Chuck Berry by his song, "Johnny B. Goode".
I love that you are relaxing a bit more and the "end credits" are beginning as interesting as the rest of the video. You are doing fantastic Karl! 🤓

Thank you.
The guitars on that Dragonforce album are amazing
First album I ever bought was Let Go by Avril Lavigne. Clearly im a 90’s/00’s Canadian kid
The Bowie song was "The Laughing Gnome" & it's one of those really amusing little ditties that sticks with you.🤪
I don't remember my first album but the first record, a 45, was Crystal Blue Persuasion. I still love that song so many years later.
The first album I bought was Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, with the yellow vinyl discs.
My first Album i owned was Queen A Kind of Magic. The first Album I ever bought was Metallica Ride the Lightning. I highly suggest both!
My first album was Mary J Blige's My Life. My grandmother took me to the Sam Goody's for my birthday and told me to pick out a cassette.
"You know that sound you're looking for?"
My first album was either Dr. Feelgood or Highway to Hell, whichever I picked up first since they were purchased at the same time.
back when i was learning to read my mom bought me a cassete of david lee roths a little aint enough becuase i could read the cover
My first album i bought was Pokemon the First Movie soundtrack, then Nsync, then Fall Out Boy. Let's talk who's a real nerd lol
My first album was N*SYNC's No Strings Attached. Still a banger.
💀
Mine was backstreet boys millennium 😂
I want Simon back
We all do.
Well, he's gone and you won't change that
@@SavoxYTyou watch biographics also Simon is a bald Genius that makes this channel life ain’t real without him
I doubt that’s ever gonna happen. Besides Simon has 150,000 other channels on UA-cam. You can get your fix on one of them.
@@JasonL77Warographics
Great job Karl
My first was "Songs from the Wood" by Jethro Tull.
Yeah, I was a weird kid.
I've already told you you are just fine as a host - stop fishing for compliments!
as for the first album I bought - no idea, probably wasn't too formative, but I was wild in my teens, I used to hunt down special editions from abroad to get the better mst obscure edition, but yeah I loved buying pop-punk or teen pop albums and blasting them all the way to school during lunch time
First album was Brave and Crazy and it still sounds good. Another good episode sir.
so the first album I bought wasnt actually the first album I recieved as for my youth group I won a bunch of my youth leader's old cds. but the first album I can remember actually buying was Manafest Citzen's Activ cd back in 2008.
Remember that time Chuck Berry whipped Yoko in the back of the head with an amp cord?
Lol, never heard of this 😂😂
It may seem stupid but the first album I bought at 11 years old was the sound track to "The Lion King"
This new guys pretty good…growing on me.
You're doing great Karl! Your accent is not super easy to understand but quite charming. Keep up the great job 😊
First album I ever bought was Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger on cassette.
The first LP I bought for myself. was David Bowie's "Scary Monsters" I had previously bought Queen's "The Game" for my best friend on his 16th birthday, when it was first released.
Snoop Dogg, Doggy style is the first album I bought for myself
He hadda have the infamous bag of $3000 (or more as the years went on) in hand before he played.
High quality, entertaining bios. I’d like to see one on Iggy Pop. The world needs more of this. 😊
Can't really remember. May of been the "Village People" may have been the soundtrack of the "Rose." May of been the soundtrack from "Rocky. "
My first album was 7800 degrees Fahrenheit by Bon Jovi
There is an amusing story that Keith Morris of the Circle Jerks & Off! told once about how Chuck Berry came to one of his shows & asked to play with him. Keith of course said yes, but when it came time to play the band was not sure what song Berry had wanted to play, because Keith did not believe in sound checks. They only figured it out when Chuck berry went into the Chores & started singing "Roll Over Beethoven".
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Southern Accents and Van Halen 1984. Bought them at the same time on cassette.
Wish it had included Chuck's timeless music.
A fellow fan of Dragonforce! The first album I bought with my own money was their "The Power Within" album the day that released. It might be my favorite overall album of theirs.
David Bowie pronounced the first syllable of his surname (Bow) as you would a bow tie not as an action of bending the middle of the body and not to be confused with boo as in the knife - although this is where he got the idea from 💜
First record I bought was I think primo victoria by Sabaton. Dragonforce are fun to have pints with btw.
The Shameful thing is the a certain part of the USA are trying to bring back those times again. I really enjoy your videos 👏👏👏👏
Ahg . my first gift of rock and roll was April Wine album. Can't remember the name ovvit. First one that I remember buying wuz either ABBA's greatest hits or Heart's Dreambout Annie. Was once a wannabe member of the Kiss Amy. I'm older now but it's part of my history .. i make no apologies.
First album I ever bought for myself was hybrid theory by linkin Park. It came at just the right time as I was about 13 when I first heard it. After hearing it for the first time I officially became a teenager
I miss Simon but am happy with his young man. He speaking voice is quite pleasant, and I am getting used to the tattoo. I know it is Art. My son has explained that to me.
I just have to watch Simon on one or two or three of his other channels 🤔
Good luck, young man!
I bought 3 at once (or my mom and grandma did because I was 6) I chose Beethovens 5th, beach boys greatest hits, and Coolio gangstas paradise on cassette.
Chuck Berry was furious with the Beach Boys for stealing the riff from one of his songs, for one of theirs. He never forgave them. He was friends with the Rolling Stones Keith Richards.
My first album was the digimon movie soundtrack because I wanted All Star by Smashmouth and it was cheaper than the Shrek soundtrack.
My first album was "For Those About to Rock" by AC/DC
Karl! I like you. 💕
The first CD I got was a single of Im blue. The first album however was Gorillaz 1st album. Good times.
Gorillaz>>>>>>>>>> 👍
1st album a 45 with Take it Easy by the Eagles on side A dont remember what was on B side, maybe kodacrome
I've been sub'd since 2018. Now that there in no Simon i have no resaon to be here.
0.39 - pause - checked the album :P
i belive my first album was Tenacious d - the pick of desteny DO NOT JUDGE
Everly Brothers was my first album 1960
First album I ever bought was the soundtrack for Star Wars.
I think my first album (it's been around 40 years) was a kind of greatest hits from Spike Jones and the City Slickers. Music because of my parents. Spike Jones was more their era, but still awesome today, IMO. Might make an interesting video about him...
