    There were two legends sitting in the room watching near the end of the video. Bo Diddley (chocolate brother/blues legend) and Willie Mosconi, a real legend in pool! Another George Thorogood song that's great is "No Particular Place To Go".

    You may have heard this song in Terminator 2 when Arnold first comes out of the bar and gets on his motorcycle. George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers have a number of good songs. Check out "Madison Blues" and "One bourbon, one scotch and one beer".

    I just saw him in concert about a month ago. 73 years old and still has voice like he's 30 or 40. When you are singing and sustaining high notes, your voice holds up much, much longer.

      @FloridaMugwump 11 місяців тому

      "Move it on over" is hank williams. "Who do you love?" is Bo diddley. "You talk too much" is Joe Jones.
      Thorogood is one of the guys i used to discover older artists. If thorogood wanted to copy them, they must be really great. Like the original "House of Blue lights" is so much better than his copy.

    Everything about the start of this song is the stuff you learn on the first day of High School jazz band. the great part about all blues songs is what different people layer into and on top of it. George Thorogood was so good at using that base to make a great song

    Memories, man, great memories. About 30 years ago I was a test driver at the GM Proving Grounds in Mesa, AZ. One night they called me in for a graveyard shift and I was assigned to the prototype Corvette. And the first thing up on the test schedule was a high speed test on the 5 mile circle track. BTW, it was expected to test the car stereos as well, they even provided us with a nice selection of CD's. Anyway, I was out there doing 100 mph in the desert night, listening to a George Thorogood midnight album concert. With Bad To The Bone blasting at full volume on the Bose stereo all I could do was think, "I'm actually getting paid to do this!"

    The familiar feeling is the classic blues swing that was established by a couple of rhythm kings, like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Bo Diddley of course is the most iconic for this particular riff. All compelling African American blues artists that set the scene for rock artists like Thorogood to amp up the song. Really good take Shon

    The riff that you know is from the Godfather of the Blues, Muddy Waters with "Mannish Boy". The guy George plays pool with (with the square guitar) is Bo Diddley, another blues great. Bo also was on the original recording for "Mannish Boy". Homage to George for the Blues homage.

Along with World Pool Champion Willie Moscone, who lays the money down. George Thorogood is exactly as advertised, "Bad To The Bone". The song opens up the movie "Christine" as well.
