I've had the pleasure of touring in a support act with GTD in the late 00's. The entire outfit (band and crew) are a total class act and super down to earth. They treated us like one of their own, with everybody just enjoying being out on the road working hard. George is quite a character and very well spoken. I got to know him a little and eventually felt comfortable chatting casually. I asked him if he ever got tired of Bad to the Bone after all these years, and he lit up like a little kid "absolutely not! I love that song every time because the fans love it so much" It was a genuine answer from a genuine great guy. Nice to see this documentary!
Awesome!!!
Amazing!! Good for you and your band. Sounds like it was a fantastic time.
Just love the guy. Saw him in Australia many years ago, one of my beloved guitar teachers.
@@paulrummery6905 Same here! Saw him @ Festival Hall!
Fantastic story man. And as a long time fan I appreciate it! I remember working my first job at Pizza Hut in around 86 or 87 BAD to the Bone was in the Jukebox and I would play it after closing and singing along making my older coworkers laugh. Just the other day I saw one of them I haven't seen in years and that was the first thing she said to me. That was her highlight of working with me there Lol. Long live GTD🤙
George and the Destroyers are legends. Refreshingly unpretentious, down to earth music, played with passion and for the enjoyment for the audience. Its honest, good, decent, blue coller, working class music. True blues.
I grew up as a teenager in the 80's and loved that song. The first time I heard it, Man it was Awesome!! I watched lots of MTV, and it was on there when I saw the video, and I was hooked on that song Bit Time.
i had the pleasure of seeing GEORGE play at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz California with a couple of buddies of mine. We were on the floor about 6 rows back from the stage. George finished his set and some of the people left after the first encore. what they didn't know is that George played 5 encores that night. By the time it was over i was in the first row on his last and final encore. After he was done he threw his guitar pick into the crowd and i caught it. To this day i have here on display on the wall in my room. GEORGE was great that night and i will never ever forget.
Never knew he was that well-spoken, given the party-animal vibe he gives off.
Been listening since I was 13. I’m
Now 58. Legends, The whole band!
Me too saw them live in 81
Have seen many acts come to Oz but he goes as one of the best such a great guy and very down to earth
Me too! I thought I’d be dead or in prison by now! At least that’s the crap I’d say as a young man. Now I’m mellowed out, married, happy, and watching a documentary about a song! Love those lyrics more than the riff! Every woman I meet, kings and queens step aside, make a good woman steel, a rich woman beg! Nailed it
The movie 'Christine' made 'Bad To The Bone' a mainstream Rock&Roll classic...🤙😎🎷🎸
These tunes never get old, George and the guys are the very definition of American Road House music!
The early 80s at the Greek Amphitheater in L.A., George and the crew owned it from start to finish. Nobody was in their seat; we were on our feet the entire time.
Thank you George!
This kind of music is the root of rock and roll, guitars Saxaphone and drums, you never get bored with it.
In the 60"s George had a garage band with my brother who later went to Vietnam ,and George went on to create the Delaware destroyers. I remember going to Pennsville, New jersey to a bar called The Crescendo Lounge and watched them play.
'Bad to the Bone' was the theme song for my Company in USN bootcamp, Aug - Oct 1991. Company Commanders played it daily... when I hear those first couple of guitar licks, immediate smile comes to my face every time.
We met George once, He is a real pleasant gentleman, wonderful to chat with, and as we all know, so talented. One of the Great Legends in modern music.
These Rockers are the ones you never want to miss seeing. Don't remember how many times I've seen them. During his younger days, George would dance like you have never seen before.
I saw his show in 1978 in a nightclub in St.Ann Mo. I was 18 then. The club only sat maybe 150-200 so we went and bought tickets early in the day as we knew it would sell out. At the 8pm showtime the doorman cards me and says I gotta be 21 to get in. I said " TJ said it's OK". He said"who the hells TJ" ? I slapped a a twenty dollar bill in his palm and he smoothly rolled his hand around with his finger pointing to go in. We were 3 ft from the stage. Best concert of my life.
I met George while doing a gig at 10 Beach Drive in St. Pete, back in 1982, and have never forgotten how rude I must have appeared to him because a kink in my sound system had me preoccupied. If I ever meet this fine gentleman again, I determined long ago that I would offer my humblest apology to him.
George and his crew stayed for a week at a hotel where i did room service in Halifax NS in about 1982, not sure exactly. I served them breakfast and lunch for a week in their rooms. They were fun and kind the whole time. They performed their show on the last night of their stay and played for 3 1/2 hours. I was alone in his room with George when he was on the phone talking about writing writing his own songs, I came in with an order and he waved me to sit down until he was done on his call seemingly because he didn’t want to be rude.
Excellent story !!
My son would stop crying when, he was a baby, instantly when I cranked bad to the bone. Great taste for a 1 year old!
And when you saw his reaction.
You knew right away!
@@stayfree6115 Was going to say, "Leave this one alone."
A friend who had seen George T &the DDs at the Palomino Club years back raved about the show and how George hopped up on the bar top killing it singing and playing guitar. I saw him a few years back at the Ventura county fair. He and his hasn’t t lost a beat. George still treats his band with huge respect on the scale of things and tears it up. A stand up dude. That’s the blues baby!
Ha...So true. I saw them about 10-15years ago. Wow, what a show. Usually bands do either of 2 things, one play tight, just like the record, or, are organic loose and maybe even improvise a little (very hard to nail that). The only other band besides them that was ever able to do both was the Allman BB with Dickey Betts. Two of the best shows I ever seen.
My friends drove to New Orleans in 81-82 to see the stones! When they got home I asked about the concert, we’ll thorogood blew them away!! And the Neville brothers were incredible!! The stones sucked 😮
I remember George Thorogood opening for Johnny Winter at a concert I attended. It might have been George with a broken finger up playing guitar. One of them anyways had the finger cast on but played on through. Johnny Winter was excellent and I remember very skinny. His lead breaks went on forever and I was drooling over every note he played!
I saw Johnny Winter open for George Thorogood in Groton Ct. around 1992 ...G.T. & the D's didn't waste a note.
Why is there not over a million views on this rockumenary? Nicely done!
I absolutely LOVE "Bad To The Bone". Best Blues Riff ever!!! Iconic because it is Bad to the bone!!!
As a bassist since the late 60s, I love these kinds of documentaries. The behind the scenes interviews and everyone involved really makes this worthwhile. George and his band are awesome! Bad to the Bone is my vocalist brother's (and a zillion other people) ring tone. Good stuff, thanks for the vid.
I ❤ them forever
Thank you very much GOD bless always Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸
Class of 1984
I worked with Georges brother ......he shared many early family stories with me - before George's career had taken off - the entire family was musically inclined, but George spent hours in his room obsessed with his guitar. Thanks John
You'll always be the man. The spirit will always be there. I'm 62 years old and G.T. and the Delaware Destroyers are in my ear buds when I travel on a flight, on my motorcycle, and whenever this old rocker needs a kick in the ass.
I saw George at the Fremantle Prison a few months back and even at 73, he still has it.
BEST MUSIC EVER !!!!
This is one song that will never ever die. I love hearing it.
I bought a tenor saxophone when I was 18 because of these guys & played in bands for years - I remember the movie Christine by Stephen King & the song bad to the bone came on & it is one of those tunes where you just go "Fuck yes"
& his version of no particular place to go by Chuck Berry was another gem, one of only a few artists who could do justice to a cover - the other is SRV with Hendrix's Vodoo Child & Come On
A George Thorogood concert is Always fun!!!!
I agree in 90 a coworker called and asked I have a extra ticket do you want to do? ok I'll check it out and glad I did great show and guitar player anyway Happy New Years I just read your comment 👍
The Theatre Royal Nottingham England was the venue many years ago,Never will I forget one of the best Live rock n roll blue shows ever.
As a fan, I listened to all the albums and, as a bass player, I learned all of their songs, and I still love playing along to their music. They also opened me up to the early era of bluesmen from different parts of the country.
Such a great band!
Best blues-rock song ever recorded. Simple, powerful, rough & straight to the ear.
George has a awsome set of pipes. GTD will live forever. Great video. My grandchildren love bad to the bone
I've seen them perform about 10 times (possibly more) and they always showed up and blew the roof off the joint. Some of the best concerts I've ever attended
It's one of the staples of our show. Thanks George and your Destroyers for the attitude you put into Rock and Roll.
Saw them live in 2022. A class act, and a tour de force. Outstanding!
THE OWNER OF A WELDING BUSINESS I WORKED FOR YEARS AGO.. HIS NAME WAS STEVE.. HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SONGS.. ESPECIALLY I DRINK ALONE.... STEVE PASSED AWAY.. EVERY TIME I HERE GEORGE PLAYB.. REMINDS ME OF GOOD OLE STEVE.. ROCK ON GEORGE 🤘 👌 😎 🔥 💪
Make a rich woman beg, a old woman blush, a young girl squeal. Head nurse spoke up, kings and queens step aside! I love the lyrics mote than the gift. Bad ass song, bad to the bone. Man I remember the early to mid eighties as so damn awesome. I was 17 in ‘83 and thought I was bad to the bone….lol. Now I’m 57 and sensible! Thanks GTG and The Destroyers. You along with Led Zeppelin, the doors, Molly Hatchet, Kansas, Aerosmith, Hendrix, AC/DC and so many others and the acres of weed (sinsemilla gold) I smoked will always be in my memories. I left all the drugs behind but have very few regrets. The music takes me back to people, places and I really get a warm feeling for those wonderful times. Glad to see you guys all healthy and sharing your story
Enjoyed ever minute of this!! Wow great documentary!!
I remember as a kid in the 80s watching this video and trying to imitate his stutter. I sent away for the album through that penny deal you used to see in the paper along with other MTV overplayed bands such as Ratt, Twisted Sister and Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil.
Got to see them at the Colorado Fair in the late 80s.
Absolutely awesome show! Great energy, lots of fun, they sounded incredible live.
gear jammer is an AWESOME tune
Saw George open for ZZ Top at the Madison Square Garden and he blew them away.
Legends lads! Keep her lit! Onwards.. ☘
One of the Air guitar Classics of all time. 🎸🎸🎸
Saw George and the Destroyers open for the Stones in '81 at the Coliseum Boulder Co. AWESOME Show, never will forget the weekend... Thanks for the memories.
I first heard it when Christine is rolling of the assembly line….That song and many others they did are stellar, and will be go to songs for party music for ever👍
First saw him on Rock goes to College on an old black and white television that I had got going after a neighbour gave it me not working.
Must have been 78/79. Went to the record shop that Saturday and the knowledgeable owner had never heard of him, he made a phone call and told me he would have "Move it on Over" for me the following Saturday. That album opened me up to Blues and so much more, I am ever grateful.
I saw the Destroyers on tour at Candlestick Park in San Francisco as the opener for Stones on their Tattoo You tour in 1981. George really got the crowd fired up as the opener, with J Geils playing right behind him. I already had all his albums at that point and was thrilled to see him play live.
That day was filled with badass boogie woogie, brothers and sisters. For six hours. Those were the heydays of the Bill Graham mega-shows in the Bay Area.
True story: Van Halen opened for the Stones at their next gig, in Orlando. Two weeks after that, it was ZZ Top.
A buddy of mine caught the same show and the next day said that the Stones and J. Geils were kind of a letdown after the Destroyers set.
Saw J.Geils in SF back in 73.totally kicked ass!
I was there
I was there,too. Great times spent with great friends. Thanks for the memories.
Yep I was there too
I saw George and the guys in 1979 at Rutgers in the old campus gymnasium. This was after they're 1st record release. I still love that record. Some things you never forget. This was a great little song biography....
Jim is absolutely right. George is an outstanding front man. He can get a crowd jumping with just a couple of cords!!
I’m 50 yrs old George and jammed to your music all my life … thank you ! ❤🍺😎
Saw George and band perform a few years and they were GREAT. Walking out after the show, I heard a young man say, "He's my new favorite guitarist." Good to see GT&D are still rockin'.
Thanks GT it's a trascendent piece of Rock, real Rock
Forty years. That song is like a time machine. Feels like it was yesterday. Thanks to Mr. Thorogood and his band. Bad to the Bone Indeed.
I witnessed George and his Destroyers three times in Germany. And they would be real killers! They would rock the roof down. That's real and honest music and pure emotion. You can't stop Rock'n'Roll and you can't stop the Blues. George Thorogood is a great guitar player - no matter what some f***ing critics might say. I remember some real BAD parties with lots of beer and Thorogood records. Some people stated I once had smashed a lemon cake to the wall while dancing to "You talk too much" wearing nothing but shorts with dinosaurs on it. I have no memory. Must have been too much German beer combined with too much Destroyers' music. My favorite songs have always been "Back to Wentzville" and "B-b-b-b-ad to the Bone". Still George and the boys would did so many great songs. There's nothing greater than riding a vintage car on a sunny day playing George's unique style. Long live honest Rock'n'Roll!
I think it was back in the winter of 1978, I go over to a buddies house and he's sitting there on the couch, head back, sunglasses on, music blaring listening to something I never heard before and then and there I experienced my first taste of George Thorogood. My buddy the late Lawrence L'hirondelle had this album on called "Moving On Over" and I've been a loyal fan ever since. I've collected every album since, I've been to over 20 + concerts, one time three in one week, he still plays in my Hemi everyday, I even had tickets to two of his shows here in Alberta but Covid-19 came along and phucked that up, but he'll be here in May 2-5, 2023, we're going to be making all three concerts because we's the boogie people, thank you George my favorite bar band. 🎸🎷🎶🥁🎸🤟🤘👍👍🦴🦴
I had the opportunity to see George at Trancas in Malibu, I think he was sitting in with the Payne brothers. Awesome show..
Plus at the palladium in Hollywood, the Greek always a kick ass show
You keep playing it. I'll keep listening to it you guy's keep on trucking brother.
Seen him two years ago,was the opening band was louder than the middle and headliner,and was tight and George sounded great 👍
Grew up and Dumped Many a Beer, Listening to Brothers... TY..Guys, TY.
Went to George Thorogood concert in the 80s in AOTEAROA NZ...was the Best show ever🤩😍🤠👏💪🙌👍👊
The timing with the Video age was a true Perfect timing thing !I was a Bartender in the 80s and man if you guys got paid by how many times that Bad T The Bone played on Juke boxes you guys would not had been capable of counting that money , it’s still a Kick Ass tune People will continue to Dig the songs , let’s face it It’s The Blues and RRock and Roll is just that modified a littlr bit that’s never going away in Music IMO
..and they were loud !! Loved them the few times I saw them 🕺🏻
Awesome. Seen George and the boys 4 times. Edmonton 1981, Honolulu 1983 and twice in Fremantle 2022. In '81 I was 21 and in 2022 I saw him with my 26 y/o daughter. A heap of others have come and gone in the same period of time and yet GT and the Destroyers keep going. Respect.
Saw them at a fair in Colorado in 1986. It was an outside venue and the fans were not in the least deterred by heavy rain. I loved that line "how am I poda get the rent $ can't find no job"
One of the most exciting concerts I went to was in about 1998 or 1999 in Dallas, Texas, when George and The Destroyers were in concert with ZZ Top. Perfection. Absolute live performance perfection.
Got to see them back in mid 80's... best damned concert . He knew how to put on a show.
Saw them here in Australia on the Maverick tour in 1985. Was my first concert. They were great
I saw a double bill show in the very early 1990s - George Thorogood/Destroyers and Joan Jett/Blackhearts.
By far, the most fun I've ever had at a live show. Fantastic concert.
Portland Maine 1979 or 80 maybe 81, best show of my life.
Always a Great Show! We Love George! WooF!!
I remember listening to George Thorogood around 1987. I was about 17 at the time and he was very popular at the time. Everyone was playing George Thorogood and the Destroyers. It’s music that’s just gets you going at a party. I still play George Thorogood till this day. I didn’t know they were around that long tho.
Awesome! Thanks for taking us back :)
We live so far from anywhere none of us could figure out if George was black or white so my late Uncle and cousins told me when I had to go to town, 115 miles each way, to ask up there. The receptionist looked at me funny and said, "He's white." It's not a deal. Just that he's got so much soul and riffs.
I will always remember the first time I saw GT&D as they were the support band on a Rolling Stones tour and I had a ticket to see them at Roundhay Park UK in 1982. When GTD came out on stage George had a white guitar with gold fittings and wore a snakeskin patterned jacket. I thought to myself, "oh brother, here we go...flash yank".........and then he let rip into Bad To The Bone and my jaw just dropped to the floor!
When I got back home I phoned around local record shops after George Thorogood albums until I eventually found a shop that had one in stock.....yes literally just one! I told them I was coming over straight away and to put it aside for me. I asked the shop owner if the band had released any other albums so he had a look through his catalogue (still pre-computer back then!) and he found about four, so I asked him to order them in for me.
I've since seen George and his band three more times in UK, twice in London and once in Birmingham.
I saw George Thorogood and The Destroyers at the Kerrisdale Arena Vancouver B.C. in 1982 and trust me when I say a Thorough good time was had by all
Dam! I believe was there as well! Saw them at UBC War Memorial & on the last day of Expo 86 they played at the open concert venue there! Rocking Good Times Indeed!
My favorite song!! Bad to the bone 🦴
spring 1987 my best buddy let me borrow his bada$$ 83 Mustang GT with T-tops to drive to the my senior prom. there was nothing better than arriving to the prom dropping off my Date at the door with George and the Destroyers pumpin Bad to the Bone. it was seriously planned for months. this song which i first heard and saw on Mtv was my introduction to the blues. i was hooked for life. To this day i have a George and the Destroyers CD in my Jeep at all times, and SRV too. Thank you to George and the boys for many great memories every time i hear your music👍
I saw them in Phoenix Arizona with the Rolling Stones. They filmed “Let’s spend the night together “ I was 16 and it was insane!! Good times
Best rock song ever
I am pretty sure George remembers playing the Chadd's Ford Tavern in the late 70's. My friends and I would go there every Thursday evening, and usually, the band was there. I must have gone and seen the band 50 times. Big time hooked. I will never forget the vibe, everyone dancing, a small rock club/bar with George playing standing on top of a table, guitar behind his head, and all the early classic songs. As a music fan I knew i was seeing something special.. Example, thanks to WMMR, I saw Springsteen before he even released his first album) (at the Main Point), another special moment. A special band is a special pub, lucky me.
They were very popular in that area!
In that same area and time period, he played the Anvil Inn, in Kennett Square
@@donaldbiordi wow!
@@donaldbiordi completely forgot that, also he must have played down at University of Delaware but I never saw him there, regardless great shows
The legend, great player, great band, great live shows.
I've been to over a dozen GTD concerts over the years, one better than the other. Sometimes I drove hours and hours with the wife, never regretted a mile. He, and his band, are a class act.
That was awesome. Thank you.
seriously underrated player
Can honestly say this is the best live band, smaller venue, show I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.
LaCrosse (6 guys Road tripped in the back of a pickup during college finals week) Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Summerfest) shows in the 80’s.
Each time-standing only audience.
I’m several rows back, and it seemed George would look me right in the eyes which felt like: Hey! You enjoying the show as much as I’m enjoying rocking out for you?
That’s showmanship!
My favorite, the sky is crying that is the most eclectic guitar bluesy song I ever heard and I still love it to this day at 54 years old I was 14 yrs old the first time I heard it and it blew my mind in a you cant anymore blueser then that.
It's been a prominent presence in *every playlist* I've ever assembled for my iPod!
I saw George perform in Big Flats N.Y. with Foghat and Molly Hatchet. What a show! Ol George still killed the show in his 70's. Great time to be alive!
Real people that were honest about honing skills into history of making a song that sticks.
It's an Era that had magic of live music .
Combined with radio and MTV.
Musicians that were humble.
Saw them a few years back at Billy Bob's in Ft Worth, TX and they rocked like they were performing for 50,000 fans. True professionals that give it all at every performance.
Fantastic doc.. Loved every minute of it
I saw George Throgood and "The Destroyers" at the Salem Oregon state fair decades ago. One of the best nights of my life. George and his band rocks.
Hey Lonesome George…
I got to see you in Bakersfield I think in the mid 2000s at the Fox. Best concert in the world
You sat down on the edge of the stage and completely dominated your guitar
I was one of the guys on the ledge off to your left saluting you with my red cup beer
What a killer documentary. Well done!
Some of the greatest pool hall tunes.....ever!
Saw George open for the Stones and Journey (totally ill-conceived) at Rich Stadium in Buffalo. It was the Tattoo You tour. Blew them away. Best live band in the business.
Live in Cincinnati still one off the best albums, first album i bought out of boot camp . TY George !!
