Chuck Berry is one of the pioneers of rock ‘n roll music. His songs were great, his vocals were fantastic and he could dance. Then there’s his guitar abilities. He was a one-man show. Love everything Chuck Berry did. Thanks for your reactions. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Chuck Berry is (for me) the real King of Rock `n Roll. After all he inspired so many following bands like The Rolling Stones (especially Keith Richards), The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and many more. He was just great as a composer, musician and performer. Thanks and best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)
Thank God Dee is back! I was getting ready to change to a different video till I saw her smiling face. Very good reaction Dee it is a good song it is a good story.
Now react to Chuck and John Lennon on theMike Douglas Show singing this together! Yoko starts caterwauling and the techs have to cut her mic! The look on Chuck’s face is priceless!
CHUCK BERRY was the Grand Father of the electric rock guitar. He inspired generations of musicians. The Rolling Stones have said he inspired them. They would listen to his records in England. I believe The Beatles and Led Zeppelin too.
@@brandonflorida1092 Your chronology is incorrect. Buddy Holly was a C&W singer. He witnessed Elvis and that changed him musically. Little Richard had a dozen songs out before Elvis recorded "That's All Right" in July of 1954. But none of Little Richard's early releases were R n R. Elvis was doing Rockabilly --a closer approach to R n R than Little Richard's early material. R & B was sort of early R n R. Fats was playing that as far back as the late 1940s. Elvis always gave credit to Fats and others who were doing it long before him. The end of 1955 is when Berry and Mr. Penniman finally recorded R n R. The movie "Back To The Future" is not an authorized source of historical facts. LOL!!
A recording of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" was sent into interstellar space in 1977 on two separate Voyager spacecraft. The record includes pieces by such musical greats as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and many indigenous musical works. It also contains natural sounds of the earth and photos too. The record is pure gold and will last millions of years. If an extra-terrestrial being finds the craft and the record, it will see and hear life as it existed on our planet in the 20th century.
I always wondered about that, because my question is, if an extraterrestrial DOES find the craft and the record, will they have SOMETHING to play it on, or even KNOW what it is for.....they could be way ahead of us in technology or way behind us, SO I doubt that they will be able to hear it. THINK about it! LOL
There’s a great documentary on Chuck Berry, he has people like Keith Richards, Elvis Costello, and Springsteen on it. Worth watching. Name of the documentary is Hail, Hail Rock N Roll.
The world ran into Chuck Berry, and has not been the same since. He was the pivot point. An avatar from the future. No wonder he was included in the movie. Hendrix was another. Imagine if he had not died. These were real geniuses, not Sears geniuses.
The Enchantment Under The Sea Dance was a high school dance that was held at Hill Valley High School on Saturday night, November 12, 1955. It was the dance in which Marty McFly's parents George McFly and Lorraine Baines-McFly fell in love after their first kiss.
His sound was innovative, his style and performance was captivating, but his lyrics were what set him apart... a Master Storyteller. Bruce Springsteen said, "I've never seen a 'coffee colored Cadillac,' but, after hearing 'Nadine,' I know exactly what one looks like!" That is what is truly special about a Chuck Berry song.
Now you have to watch his live performance at the Rock and Roll hall of fame with Bruce Springsteen. At the time Chuck was 69 and Bruce can be seen on the stage in complete awe of the Godfather of rock n rolls performance.
Kinda fun checking out and reacting to a live version of any song by any artist, but when you do that, you run the risk of missing the opportunity of hearing for the first time the original recording that was the reason the song became a hit in the first place. In this case, you missed hearing one of the most impactful, influential recordings of all time. More people have picked up a guitar for the first time after hearing the opening riff in that recording than probably any other song in history. That, and hearing the rolling bass lines of Willie Dixon, and the Johnny Johnston inspired piano lines played by Lafayette Leake (not just some house band that changed night after night, city after city, gig after gig, as is seen plucking away in this video). I would highly recommend checking out the actual studio recording of this song (and probably a good practice in the future to do that before checking out live performances of most songs). Peace
@@timcarr6401 You got a point I suppose. I actually should more carefully curb my enthusiasm when mentioning heaven. That's God's decision, not mine to assume. My apologies.
I got to see Chuck Berry perform at the Grand Ballroom at Catalina Island around 1984. He came in and performed for about 1-hour. He put on a great show, and everybody was thrilled to see him.
Ok In another forum - a hockey message board of all places- here is what I posted after his passing: This guy was a deity. Some quotes: John Lennon: “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry.'” Stevie Wonder: “There’s only one true king of rock ‘n’ roll. His name is Chuck Berry.” Jerry Lee Lewis: “[My mama] said, ‘You and Elvis are pretty good, but you’re no Chuck Berry.'” Bruce Springsteen: "Chuck Berry was rock's greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock & roll writer who ever lived." Keith Richards: "I've stolen every lick he ever played." If you've ever listened to a bunch of Chuck Berry tunes while dropping acid, you've come in contact with the divine
You mention that it reminded you of Back to the Future. Of course, it should. They did the time travel paradox. The Marty McFly character was influenced by Chuck Berry and then one of the other band members gets on the phone "Chuck! Chuck, it's Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you're looking ..." making Chuck Berry influenced by Marty McFly.
Love this man! Good call on Back to the Future. The band leader Marvin Berry literally calls his cousin Chuck from the stage to listen the guitar riff. Y’all need to listen to a version where his guitar has a better mic, too, though. Chuck Berry is one of the GOATS.
In 1977, NASA launched two spacecraft - Voyager 1 and 2 - to explore Jupiter, Saturn and FAR, FAR BEYOND. Each carried a 12-inch gold plated record that contained music, sounds and images picked to represent the great diversity of life on Earth. The idea was maybe one day extraterrestrial life far away would stumble on the records and learn something from us. Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode'" was embedded with the likes of: Beethoven's, Fifth Symphony; Stravinsky's' Rite of Spring; and Bach's, Brandenburg Concerto No. 2. No other rocker made the cut (not the Beatles, not Elvis, not the Stones, not Hendrix, Joplin, or Morrison). This song is literally "far out" among the stars. Now that's immortality. Who knows, maybe a billion years from now some alien being will be tapping their tentacle to Johnny B. Goode.
Love Chuck Berry! My first public rock and roll band performance in the ninth grade, back in '78 featured this song! I've had the stage bug ever since! Do "Maybelline" by him and/or Pat Travers... you can't go wrong!
Today, over 14 Billion miles from earth, aboard the spacecraft Voyager 1, there is a record. It is made of gold. On it, among other things, is Chuck Berry singing this song. One day, just maybe, somewhere out there, some one will be reacting to it for the first time. Even in that context, not a bad job you two. Rock On.
One of the ones who started it all. Many have copied his duck walk and covered this song. One to check out is Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. The one off of the 1978 live album is killer. Just one of many.
good video available from his 60th birthday celebration, Linda Ronstadt and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones perform his song "Livin in the USA" along with him.
I've heard stories about Chuck Berry and how he didn't trust anyone with his money. When Chuck showed up for a gig, he wanted payment, in cash, before he hit a note. He also would just pick up local backing musicians that the club or local promoter would get for him, and he wouldn't pay them much. They played because it was a chance to play with a living legend. I also heard that Chuck would do a quick run through of his tunes an hour or so beforehand with the pickup musicians playing in basic R&R keys....... then when they were on stage, the song they rehearsed in E, he would say at the last second, "B flat fellows" and if they weren't ready, he would verbally abuse them. He also tried that with Keith Richards at the concert for "Hail, Hail Rock and Roll". When the concert was over, Chuck would throw his guitar, amp, and money bag in the trunk of his Cadillac and peel out for the next gig.
A friend of mine was in a band that backed him up on a gig in New Hampshire. He didn't even do a quick run through of the songs, no rehearsal at all. A few minutes before the the show started one of them asked him what songs the were going to do. All he said was "Chuck Berry songs". He would just yell out the key to them as they were about to start the song. Sometimes he'd also say the name of the song and sometimes he'd go right into the intro without naming the song and they just had to follow him.
That WAS the song that "Marty McFly" was singing at the prom in "Back to the Future". You have to find a video where Chuck does his famous DUCK WALK, which he usually did in his performances, but he didn't here. I don't think he had enough room to do it.
Chuck has the talent. You should do the video where he sings the song Nadine and does the "Duck Walk!" Amazing and he still has the moves when he was older!
Chuck Berry had some issues in life, maybe he had some defects of character and didn't always do what was right, but he sure knew how to play guitar and wrote great rock and roll songs. He was a phenomenon.
Cool fact about this song, it was one of the songs put on the soild gold record they put on Voyager 1 and sent into outer space so aliens can listen to it and learn about us, Voyager 1 is now 14 billion miles away from earth...
In Philosophy they say that everything is a commentary on Plato. All of Rock music is a commentary on Chuck Berry. Nothing really new came out after him, just variations on what he started.
You should definitely react to The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis and The News, one of my favorite songs and seeing this video just reminded of when Marty played this song on Back to The Future.
Hey Chod and Dee. I like you both. But you should strike quickly while the iron is hot and react to the Jimi Hendrix version of this song. It's a live performance and the difference is staggering. Jimi takes this song and scor he's it bare. It is a rousing tribute to one of the architects of rock-n-roll. It is also a rare tribute to an artist he admired. And then maybe show Dee tge color video of Jimi playing HEY, JOE. I can't wait for her to see that one. Enjoy.
One ofthe fathers of Rock ' roll, even if quite a few of his songs sound the same (compare this one to 'Let it Roll,'). I like 'Maybelline,' and especially 'C'est la Vie' (AKA 'Teenage Wedding' or 'You Never Can Tell.')
Now all you have to do is react to The Jimi Hendrix version. Then you’ll know everything you need to know about guitar before Chuck and guitar before Jimi. Just do a search for “Hendrix Johnny B Goode.” You’re welcome.
Does he have any teeth? Where did that come from? Chuck was performing before Elvis..but Elvis was first commercially successful (regionally only) with his July 1954 release of ‘That’s Alright Mama’ …Elvis was a huge fan of Berry and would record a good many of Chuck’s songs…Chuck who is considered the architect of Rock’n Roll would have his first big hit a year later July 1955 with his song ‘Mabellene’ and his music and guitar playing would influence many future musicians.
HELL!!! I want Dee On here!!!!! Chod knows the stuff, Dee is fresh! And pleasing to the eye. Yes, take care of the cheerins, I love Chod, but Dee is ... well.....a fresh view....even though I like Chod's commentary cause he is a bit of a connoisseur...not as much as me, but....LOL. In short....stay on Dee when possible.

You can't get more classic in rock and roll than this song.
Fact.
This song and this man started a revolution!
One of the fathers of rock n roll music. His influence on The Beatles is well documented. One of the most famous songs ever recorded. Great reaction.
Thank God Dee is back! I was getting ready to change to a different video till I saw her smiling face. Very good reaction Dee it is a good song it is a good story.
The prototype of the classic rock & roll song. This was radical when it came out, but Chuck was fearless. I got to see him play once.
I knew Chuck Berry back in the day in St. Louis club Muddy Waters. Every single sing Berry ever did was insane excellent.
Can you imagine hearing that electric guitar for the first time.
Now react to Chuck and John Lennon on theMike Douglas Show singing this together! Yoko starts caterwauling and the techs have to cut her mic! The look on Chuck’s face is priceless!
CHUCK BERRY was the Grand Father of the electric rock guitar. He inspired generations of musicians. The Rolling Stones have said he inspired them. They would listen to his records in England. I believe The Beatles and Led Zeppelin too.
Not only was he a great singer/songwriter/guitar player but he was an excellent showman.
The absolute Godfather of rock & roll. Nobody comes close.
In fact, the father.
@@brandonflorida1092 Elvis was before Berry.
@@timcarr6401But Elvis, whom I like, didn't invent rock, nor even write his own songs,

Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode record has left the solar system, its in Voyager 2 out in interstelar space.
Appropriately, the very first person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Love this performance
A legend. He was Rock n’ Roll.
Not only could play and sing, he truly was an entertainer
He is, almost solely, responsible for the Rock ‘n Roll genre. He was great.
Ah, no.
Mr.Rock n Roll. One of the best ever. Listen to ALL of his songs.
Legendary song and artist, both of which are in The Hall of Shame, I mean Fame!

Elvis & Chuck Berry were peers. There were a handful of artists at that time that really were the foundation for rock n roll.

Checkout Hail Hail Rock N Roll. Keith Richards produced a concert to tribute Chuck on his 60th Birthday.
good video available from his 60th birthday celebration, Linda Ronstadt and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones perform his song "Livin in the USA" along with him.
If there is one song that defines rock 'n' roll. this is it.
What's so much fun tp watch is hard as hell to do!
I found a great rock band from Sweden called H.e.a.t. and it would awesome to hear you 2 react to "A Shot at Redemption." Thank you. Love you guys!
This was the first song about being a rock and roll star. It was semi-autobiographical.
I've heard stories about Chuck Berry and how he didn't trust anyone with his money. When Chuck showed up for a gig, he wanted payment, in cash, before he hit a note. He also would just pick up local backing musicians that the club or local promoter would get for him, and he wouldn't pay them much. They played because it was a chance to play with a living legend. I also heard that Chuck would do a quick run through of his tunes an hour or so beforehand with the pickup musicians playing in basic R&R keys....... then when they were on stage, the song they rehearsed in E, he would say at the last second, "B flat fellows" and if they weren't ready, he would verbally abuse them.

Ok Chuck, open the floodgates.
Chuck Berry is one of the great poets of the mid-20th century, imho. You could do a week on Chuck Berry tunes and their covers.
Quite possibly the most important song in rock history.
The Daddio of rock n roll. 🎸 on the keys was probably Johnny Johnson ( couldn’t quite see him). He was extremely influential as well.
That WAS the song that "Marty McFly" was singing at the prom in "Back to the Future". You have to find a video where Chuck does his famous DUCK WALK, which he usually did in his performances, but he didn't here. I don't think he had enough room to do it.
He did do the two-legged duck walk, which is the actual duck walk, though the one legged hop is also referred to as a duck walk.
Chuck has the talent. You should do the video where he sings the song Nadine and does the "Duck Walk!" Amazing and he still has the moves when he was older!
CB was a true poet😍
Chuck Berry had some issues in life, maybe he had some defects of character and didn't always do what was right, but he sure knew how to play guitar and wrote great rock and roll songs. He was a phenomenon.
The father.
The inventor of the guitar solo. He took what Ray Charles was doing many years and added some guitar grit.
One of the 1st songs I learned how to play on the guitar.
Thank you for showcasing the leadgend
The master right here.
Chuck Berry is the original guitar hero. There are early blues legends like Robert Johnson, but C. B. set the bar for R'n'R.
GREAT !!!!!...
Elvis gives you a little bit of Chuck, not the other way around
Cool fact about this song, it was one of the songs put on the soild gold record they put on Voyager 1 and sent into outer space so aliens can listen to it and learn about us, Voyager 1 is now 14 billion miles away from earth...
Remember that Chuck Berry got the idea for that song from Marty McFly.
Ike Turner would protest, having written and performed Rocket 88. But Little Richard is the man.
In Philosophy they say that everything is a commentary on Plato. All of Rock music is a commentary on Chuck Berry. Nothing really new came out after him, just variations on what he started.
Johnny Johnson on the piano
Don't listen to those people. I love when you both react.Peace
This is in my country (Belgium) - TV special. I think 1965
In the days of no black royalty Chuck Berry made that stage his kingdom and all to listen his subjects.
Chuck Berry was an insanely great composer. His lyrics were always good...better than almost all of his contemporaries.
I always loved the reggae version by Peter Tosh :)
You really should react to Jimi Hendrix's version of this next.
Johnny Johnson on Keys
You should definitely react to The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis and The News, one of my favorite songs and seeing this video just reminded of when Marty played this song on Back to The Future.
❤❤❤❤❤
can you do a reaction to Lucifer by Bob Seger System
A good time live
Hey Chod and Dee. I like you both. But you should strike quickly while the iron is hot and react to the Jimi Hendrix version of this song. It's a live performance and the difference is staggering. Jimi takes this song and scor he's it bare. It is a rousing tribute to one of the architects of rock-n-roll. It is also a rare tribute to an artist he admired. And then maybe show Dee tge color video of Jimi playing HEY, JOE. I can't wait for her to see that one. Enjoy.
You should give the Peter Tosh version a listen. You won't be disappointed.
He was an accountant and a hair dresser besides the FIRST to really do this, He werent no dummy!!! He kept track of his money for sure.
Thank you to Marty McFly. You should check out the King, no, no the other King, James Brown.
One ofthe fathers of Rock ' roll, even if quite a few of his songs sound the same (compare this one to 'Let it Roll,'). I like 'Maybelline,' and especially 'C'est la Vie' (AKA 'Teenage Wedding' or 'You Never Can Tell.')
Chills...
Chuck, Elvis, little Richard, buddy Holly launched modern rock n roll as we know it.
Elvis was a no talent hack that stole or bought everything he ever did. Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same paragraph as those legends.
Great review
Judas Priest does a killer cover of this song!
Now all you have to do is react to The Jimi Hendrix version. Then you’ll know everything you need to know about guitar before Chuck and guitar before Jimi. Just do a search for “Hendrix Johnny B Goode.” You’re welcome.
For sure. Hendrix is the Man...
Does he have any teeth? Where did that come from?

Michael J Fox copies thus in back to the future. The audience is blown away. This is OG rock n roll right here
