    The song that got me into Big Sugar. Watching Much Music after school and the video came on, hooked ever since.

    I was 16 when 500 pounds came out, I was too young to get into Barrymore’s when you played there but we went anyway and sat on the curb outside. You played so gloriously loud we heard every note. I’ve since seen you countless times but it was that night that I’ll never forget. Thank you for sharing your art with us all. Much love GJ ✌️

    I jam on this song with anyone who will play it with me. And I play this riff as a warm up. Absolute classic.

    For a hard rockin' dude you have barely aged at all man. Road miles are hard miles. You still got your vocal chops. Prime genetics.

    Awesome!! Said it before... so glad the OG Big Sugar is back on the radar.... It's the reason I bought an ES335 and a les paul........

    I got to drink some Whiskey with you at your cousin Hollys wedding many years ago in Edmonton…Still one of the highlights of my youth!

    Two things: 1. You got that Charlie Watt's hi hat thing going on (not hitting the HH the same time as the snare), 2. Those Vistalites rule. Play on, player.

    Just amazing! I had to play Five Hundred Pounds after watching this. Well done, GJ!

  • @gmiranda99
    @gmiranda99 4 года назад +1

    Awesome! One of the things I admire about you Gordie is that you’re always reworking your songs. So many musicians get hung up on just playing it like on the record, but you let the songs breathe free and grow!

  • @pietyhill

    This is so fun. I'm a big fan, who is *not* a musician, but I do know gear, so I love the stories and descriptions about how you get sound. I share your videos with my musician friends.

    GJ, been a fan since this came out. You are the reason I have a herzog, and gobbs of vintage traynor amps. You sound unbelievable still. Voice is great! Keep inspiring brother!

    THAT was the first song I learned beginning to end (my family was happy lol)...after my mind was blown wide open at the Commodore all those years ago. GJ explained how KISS blew his mind....Big Sugar that evening steered my musical journey along with their generosity always autographing stuff. Thanks again for this Friday ritual:))))))

    The song that was a sign for me to really take up the guitar hard in 1993. 27 years listening to this song and it never gets old.

  • @suprunown

    Oh, BABY! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I love all these remixes. Can we get Motherless Children, or maybe Devil Got My Woman, or a heavy, fuzzed out version of Come Back Baby? ;)

    I’m glad to hear you mention Billy Gibbons; I hadn’t heard you drop his name before, was almost going to ask. You two seem to be cut from the same cloth. Huge fan of both bands.

    Hello from Winnipeg. Any idea if I you (or anyone at Power 97) still have the Studio 97 version laying around? You played a Mandolin or Ukulele (I think?) and did a bunch of songs.

    Gordie are you playing your drums hi-hat just like Charlie Watts ?

  • @BillyPolaris
    @BillyPolaris 4 года назад

    Do you have trouble adjust from playing one of your explorers or that big ol' guild when you switch to an SG? I always find my SG feels like a toy after I've been on my other guitars... SG sure do scream though!

    • @BigSugarBand
      @BigSugarBand  4 года назад

      I play SO many different instruments that I don’t really notice. In one day I’ll play drums, bass, steel guitar, Trés, banjo, a Flying V and a Strat.
      Then do some keyboard overdubs😂

    You and your drummer share an uncanny resemblance. Of course, he is a bit shorter
