    How can people dislike this....raw rock n roll . His band are class...and Freddie Mercury on the drums is relentless....

    One thing I will always love about George: yes he is the Destroyers front man HOWEVER he always steps aside and shows respect to the men who helped form his style. This isn't the first time he has had guest artists on stage and he never upstages them .

      So he was playing house of blues so I bought a cheap ticket. Got in line early. Asked the guy, where. And the guy said "floor"
      Hold up. What?
      Belly up to the bar bois, front and center. Damn my good luck. So a little blues band out of east Texas played for 45. Then Billy Bob Thornton and his blues band kicked it for another hour or so and the roadie came over to me to go back stage. And I said not today... And then there was George. Playing directly in my face and all I have to say is... I'll leave that to your imagination ;)

    Albert Collins, only 9 years later after this legendary concert with his great friend Thorogood & he tragically passes away from lung cancer at only age 61, a shame.

  • @monslayernone8898

    I knew Albert, he was a very kind, very humble man. But when he strapped on a Telecaster, he was the most bad ass player that ever walked the face of this earth. Him and George, friggin amazing together.

  • @robertbreedon9137
    @robertbreedon9137 2 роки тому +31

    I love how Mr. Collins gets the telecaster to say Thank You if you listen close he gets that fender to speak. Imagine inviting a guitar legend to play on stage with you and he accepts the invite what a night this must have been to be there and see this live.

    Albert Collins busted a string on his Fender Telecaster and kept right on jamming. Now that's how you play the guitar. Hard to believe that George Thorogood will turn 69 this month. And he's still playing that slide guitar like he's 19 years old. Yeahhh. Good playing, good singing, and how about that duet five minutes into the song. Great stuff.

      @boycebyerly1 8 років тому +5

      +calixa Collins is a pretty good guitarist, but no, George Thorogood isn't. He does a good job with effects and distortion, but he's mostly just pounding on one chord the whole song, and almost all his songs are the same.

      Boyce: 15 million album sales, 6 gold albums, 2 platinum. But keep telling yourself he's overrated due to his "effects". The man is nothing if notorious for being consistent for his Gibson ES-125TDC into a Fender Dual Showman. What kind of success have you had in the music industry again?

    The iceman is the reason l bought a capo for my Strat!! His unique tuning and playing style is crazy but works so well
