Everyone's already mentioned the legend Bo Diddly but the old man with the young woman who comes in to watch, and bet on, the game about halfway through the video is none other than Willie Mosconi, one of the greatest pool players of all time.
Just from this video alone we’ve learned of two more icons! How cool
Yeah he was good. But nobody is/was as good as Efren Reyes. That guy made so many shots that look like they would be in a trick shot video during competition. I know there isn’t good video footage to compare the two, but I still think we were lucky to get to see the mastery and instinctiveness (
@@RobSquadReactions The song takes from another icon, Muddy Waters and his song "Mannish Boy", which you should also check out. Also check out more George Thorogood - "Who Do You Love," "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," you'll love them.
I believe the picture inside the guitar case is legendary pool player Minnesota Fats, so there's another icon.
Edited to say: I was wrong, why are people still liking this comment? 😂
@@Wungolioth No, that's a young Bo Diddly
RSR Family, you'll love his "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", "Who Do You Love" and "Move It On Over". Great guitar player!! Saw him in concert 11/20/82. Great show! Studio versions of songs sound better!! Amber, their song "Kids From Philly" is mostly a sax solo.
George Thorogood. ORIGINAL! No one does what he does. Hard Rock added to Blues. It just kicks ASS.
Yes yes yes
I saw back in 82 also He opened for Rick Springfield. Georges' show kicked ass.Springfield sucked
@@EdwardVodika Springfield and Thorogood? LOL! That's one strange concert pairing.
If you react to the song One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer please do the live one it is so good!!!!
The older guy he's playing pool with is Bo Diddley, one of the absolute greatest and earliest rockers. He was rocking his guitar in 1955 and in a 1973 live video here on RUclips his footwork is even more awesome than Chuck Berry's ever was, in my opinion anyway. Who Do You Love (which is a pun on Hoodoo You, Love), Mona, and Bo Diddley are a few of his best. Who else made a hit song named after themselves? Gear Jammer is another great George Thorogood song, and One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer is indispensable.
Yep Bo Didley so great, toured lots saw him in Sydney Australia once
Did you catch Willie Mosconi? My husband, who played lots of pool growing up in the early 50's idolized him. He is the older man who comes in and watches. Bo Diddley was a good catch. Still remember Bo, you don't know Diddley! Love that commercial!!
@@ellenguillory4477 It took a little bit, but Yes! I hadn't thought of Willie Mosconi in forever. Thanks for a trip down nostalgia lane.
Bo was the Man.
Saw him open for CCR in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1970
That opening guitar lick is universally used in movies for "stuff is about the go down"
Two of my favorites are in CHRISTINE when the car is coming down the assembly line, and Married With Children when Al Bundy is getting ready to barbecue.
It was Al Bundy's (Married With Children) call to arms theme song. Whenever Al would get on his muscle and get ready to "solve the problem the old fashioned way" the producers of the show would over-dub the video with the opening bars of this song.
Terminator 2.
When Al Bundy eats spicy Mexican food to get his bathroom back….classic!!!!😈
Megamind
George Thorogood rips it down the spine. Like no other.
George wrote this but he also covered a lot of classic gritty blues and boogie songs. To his credit, he often brought the original artist on stage with him and in dune cases gave their new life after they had been ripped off by unscrupulous agents and producers in their hay day. He had been both a student and reviver of a lot of classic stuff.
And he's still a down to earth guy from Delaware who owns a minor league baseball team there, The Delaware Destroyers.
Thanks for the Awesome update!
He even name drops "Bo Diddley" in this song
@@lipby that's Bo Diddley playing pool with him in the video. The older gentleman who came in and made the bet was Willie Mosconi a true legend of the pool world.
@@frankhamp1396 yup!
George (and his band) is a perfect example of old school, down and dirty rock. Check out "Who Do You Love," "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," and "Move it On Over," for sure.
And if you've ever seen the movie "Christine" from the 80s (based on the Stephen King book) this is the intro song.
Fine set of suggestions to introduce them to "Lonesome George". The only thing I'd say is they should also check out John Lee Hooker's version of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". Hooker's version is technicall a cover as well, but I think it's the definitive Blues version. Cheers! Rock on🤘😎☮️
@@JimiBurleigh They will have to precede it with John Lee's "House Rent Boogie" to match George's version. George's song mashes both together!
For me, when i hear this song I always see Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 when he steps out dressed in the biker clothes
Move it On Over is an old Hank Williams Sr. tune.
Good suggestions, I would add I Drink Alone
Live version of “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” is a must see with Elvin Bishop!!!
Absolutely the best video of that song ever !!......lots of George personality in that one !!
And with Elvin Bishop the song "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" sung by an amazing vocalist.
I don't know. I prefer more 'ten beers out and a scotch when safely arrived at home'.
You guys are positively my favorite reaction people. And rob Don't ever let her go Cause she is absolutely adorable
Yrs we love amber
☺️
Couldnt agree more, I love these kids Ihope that they cherish eachother Id love them for neighbors🤣🤣🤣
My daughter, upon hearing this song for the first time at the wise old age of 3, declared this was her song. It has always been her favorite song.
Yes! GT was on my list for you all. "I Drink Alone", "Get A Haircut", "One Scotch One Bourbon One Beer", "Who Do You Love", "Move It On Over" are some other great tracks!
Agree! They're all genuine 'bangers'...lots of very 'cool' tunes.
Another confirmed vote for each of the above! Definitely someone to get to know... Awesome reaction! As for his voice, it's attitude, grit, whiskey and smoking... lol

Makes me feel 100 years old, but I remember playing this tune on the juke box at a pool hall. Moe's to be exact. I was in high school. This stuff still makes me smile. These guys are blues players, but they give it a good rock and roll edge as well. They do a cover of House Rent Boogie and One Bourbon, one scotch, one beer. Both are originally by John Lee Hooker but George Thorogood released a version of both together. It smokes. It's just called one bourbon one scotch one beer. That and move it on over are a must!
oh damn I didn't know that was a cover. I was going to suggest that song too.
He has so many incredible songs. I love both of those, but I was going to suggest Who Do You Love? tho I love Gear Jammer from my years as a truck driver.
👏 👏 👏 👏
So nice to see someone give credit to John Lee Hooker!
"THE HEALER " album by JLH has collaborations with various artists like Carlos Santana, Los Lobos, Bonnie Raitt, and is a great introduction to his music for anyone new to the genre.
Peace and love to everyone this holiday season. 🙏 💕
Gotta love that blues musician Bo Didley stars as the other pool player. The boxing promoter /money guy (w/ the younger woman) is pool legend Willie Mosconi who was the main technical adviser for the 1961 movie "The Hustler" and stand-in for the actors (particularly Paul Newman) in the tougher pool shots.
There’s been a Willy Mosconj sighting!! I hadn’t seen this video in… well I have no idea how long, but I remembered Bo & Willy in the pool hall with Lonesome George! This song was also the theme song for the movie Christine, added in Stephen King’s book about a possessed car. Very entertaining movie. And the song fits perfectly as Christine’s theme.
the guy shooting against George is Bo Diddley and the old guy with the hot chick is the great Willie Mosconi
Yes, two Icons of a bygone era.
I liked the iconic Buick Grand National introduction to the press using this song.
@@galeaiken3841 The Grand National has nothing on my 1958 Plymouth fury, My son in law has a Grand National My fury has won 25 more awards than his Grand National has. Not taking anything away from his car but it will never top mine.
@@p.j.morris633 Quicker,faster,more reliable, better fuel economy while having better performance better air conditioning, better daily drive ability while still running high 11 second 1/4miles. And mine has won Darrell Starbyrds world of wheels 1st place in it it class twice, well over 50 first place awards countless 2nd place. Alot of awards from the drag strip thank you Stinnett Racing, High Torque Racing auto body for paint. And mine is a daily driver unless hail or snow. And I drove off showroom floor in December of 1987.
I do appreciate the Fury as I'm a car freak besides being a freak in general lol.
But it ain't got nothing on my Buick, I like anything with a "cool factor " so I like the old Furys. +my dad had 57 4door 3 on tree fun car.
I have seen him 6 times. No pyro. No fancy gizmos. Just George and the Delaware Destroyers. And his voice. And guitar. I love the fact that he's so down to earth and plays an homage to the greats that came before him.
It's true, they just get up on stage and do it. I saw him three times in the UK
This is a great riff.
Blues rocker who has done a ton of touring.
He had one tour in which he played all 50 states in 50 days.
Try I Drink Alone, his cover of John Lee Hooker's One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer, or his cover of Hank William's Move it On Over.
Yes Please to all 3!
Love Move It On Over!
Chris with the master list as usual
@@itsmedino Hey Dino. I saw George open for ZZ Top many years ago.
@@chriso6719 duuuude that would be a show
"Who Do You Love" and "I Drink Alone" are musts. "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" is the epitome of a storytelling song which I know you'll love Jay.
Another MUST for you two is the song "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group. It is all instrumental so you can just enjoy the music and not have to decipher any lyrics. It has everything you will both love including more saxophone.
I agree I drink alone is a ultimate must to listen too
Definitely a rabbit hole to go down. He's fantastic and still touring and killing it live. Fun fact - He's from Delaware and I live a few miles from where he grew up and went to high school. Listen to "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" for a good story. Also "I Drink Alone", "Move It On Over", "Who Do You Love" and "Get a Haircut". Great singer, guitarist and storyteller!
I totally agree with you Bob, you picked my favorites
Great picks.
Yeah we always called them The Delaware Destroyers...
Yo! Smyrna Delaware here!
@@dianecomly6132 North Wilmington, Concord High School area here!
Watched him last night and at 74 years old he has not missed a step. The best concert I've ever seen ❤. Love you guys too
“Bad to the Bone” is an AMAZING, TIMELESS classic. One of the great joys in Life, is watching the movie “Terminator 2” and Arnold walks out of the bar…the camera focuses on his boot as he starts to walk down the steps….”Bad to the Bone” starts. Perfection.
I agree with many of the other comments here: “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” came right to mind if you guys have never heard it. Great song, solid story, and killer riff and solo.
Aka " the house rent blues"
"That don't confront me!" 😂
OhYEAH!!🍹🥃🍺Love me some George Thorogood🎸
good John lee hooker song!!! or at least based on it!!
Heart attack and vine too
Another band with a gritty-voiced singer is Blood Sweat and Tears and they have a healthy catalog of songs: "And When I Die" "Spinning Wheel" "You Made Me So Very Happy" "Go Down Gamblin'" "Lucretia Mac Evil." Go Down Gamblin' even has a TUBA solo! Gotta dive in there!!!
Oh yeah!
I would agree and add that Amber would love the great horn section of BS&T. Spinning Wheel was their biggest hit, but I think you should begin with Go Down Gambling or Lucretia MacEvil.
The old guy in the pool hall is Bo Diddley- who was one of the early pioneers of rock and roll. If you like gritty voices- try Omar and the Howlers- Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty.
Yep, the Bo Diddley beat.
Yes Bo Diddley
Haven't heard Omar in several decades!
LOVE Omar and the Howlers!!
Back in the day we called George's voice a "Whiskey Growel". Very distinct, and in a class all it's own. PEACE!!!!!
George was SO good live!
This is one of those songs that even if you aren't a fan of rock, you can't help but like it. As far as pool goes, it still exists. My cousin's ex plays in tournaments.
My ex plays in tournaments...pool and darts. I guarantee they probably have pool hall or two where they live
CHRISTINE!!! That was such a great movie.
I can recite the entire movie from memory lol
Love that movie.
My mind went straight to the movie too.😂😂😂
@@wallyllama2926 We all can
@@joshsmith302 Same
Definitely a great riff! He has so many great songs. One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer is awesome. Great riffing plus great lyrics. Who Do You Love is also great, plus so many more!
First time I saw George Thorogood & the Delaware Destroyers he was a warm up act for the Rolling Stones
That was the 2nd time I saw him (Super Dome in NoLa)
I have so much fun with you guys. I'm 73 and I spend a lot of time alone so hearing my music and watching your reactions is priceless.
Amber saying Bad to the Bone and cracking up over it made my day.
GT and the Destroyers did hang in seedy pool halls and bars. That is where they got their start performing. Lots of touring out of the back of a van, covered all the states one time. GT would not tour in the summer time as he played semi pro baseball and that was as important as his music.
The "old guy" is none other than the famous Bo Diddley, check out his rectangle guitar, Bo's trademark.
I believe the old guy who put the money down on the racked balls was Willie Mosconi, one of the great pool players ever. I met willie in 1977 and got a chance to shoot a game or two with him.
50 States in 50 Dates! That's some serious touring!
I saw George in concert when I was 18. I've never been so affected by another performance. There was no flash, no pyro, no fancy lights. They didn't need all of that. It was just a band on stage and it was amazing!
He had a rack that held 6 or 8 identical guitars and if a string broke on the one he was playing, he just grabbed the next one in line and kept going.
I'm not sure what happened, but at one point he stopped playing, walked to the edge of the stage and said to some guy on the floor "Hey! That's no way to treat a lady and if I see you do it again, I'm walking off the stage." A true gentleman and a lot of musicians today could learn a lot from him.
Recommendations... "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", "I Drink Alone" or "Who do you Love?"
i just saw george at pine knob michigan yesterday he warmed it up for sammy hagar and im 17 the BEST concer EVER those guys can fucking rock even tho there in tbeir 70s lmao
I saw him in 1982, touring for this album. His slide guitar work is the best. And you're right, he didn't need fireworks or flash, just his guitar. Just like Chuck Berry.
George Thorogood played at my college in 1984 (JMU) and there was nearly a riot, the show rocked so hard.
George is one of my all-time favourite concerts... 1980, in a small pub in Tasmania, overcrowded to buggery... and George played for 3 and a half hours without a break. He connected with everyone there - and showed us what blues and rock could do to a young fella's soul.
Try some of his other hits; I Drink Alone, Move it on over, and One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer. Great Southern Blues rocker.
Pool, Darts, Horseshoes, and Bowling...All vastly underappreciated in this day and age (i.e., sports you can play while drinking and not being overly athletic). I guess I could throw in axe throwing, etc. but I don't want to go overboard (I mean we can't even play Jarts anymore). Peace, Love!
Werd!
Yes, Yes, Yes! Even women turn this song up in the car! The other pool player is Bo Diddley (blues royalty) You need to now listen to Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy" so you'll see the influence for this song.
But it means something different to us ladies😘
I love the way you two bridge cultures. I love your enthusiasm, and real appreciation of what is now "the classics". Just great.
The first time I saw George (1980ish) I had never heard anything he had ever done. I stood there for two hours listening to every sound and couldn't get enough. Mindblowing experience for a 17 year old.
When US Navy ships complete an underway refueling evolution and break away from the refueling ship they go to All Ahead Flank and play a “break away” song on their topside speakers. When I was stationed on the USS CONOLLY DD 979 in the early 90’s our break away song was “Bad to the Bone”.
That's good! Our captain, when I was on the San Jacinto CG-56 (90-93) loved to use Danger Zone from Kenny Loggins. Flank 3 ,full rudder
Bad to the Bone is based on Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters. The riff and lyrics are very similar.
Mannish Boy has influenced so many other songs.
Love mannish boy!
This group also reminds me of the groups "The Georgia Satellites" and "The Fabulous Thunderbirds." React to both. I think you will like them.
just an added incentive, the guitar player in The Fabulous T-Birds is SRVs brother Jimmy Vaughn
There's a newer band called Volbeat who cover the Satalite's "Battleship Chains". It's worth a listen!🪂
Fabulous Thunderbirds?!? < _O-B Wan Kenobi voice_ > "Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time..."
But seriously, haven't heard anything about the T-Birds in over a decade. Are they still in bizness?
Watching Amber reacting to this but also enjoying being right about the b-b-b-b-b-bad is everything.
That Old Guy with the rectangular Guitar is the Legendary Bo Diddley......
When I was growing up, THIS was the song that exemplified the blues to me. It's used in the opening of the movie Christine (based on Stephen King's novel) when they show the evil car Christine killing its first victim.
To me, George Thorogood & The Destroyers are one of the best blues/rock groups to have come out of the modern era. You might also want to check out "Move It on Over". Pure rock/blues perfection!
I used to work in a pool hall/arcade. This song and "One Bourbon , One Scotch, One Beer" Were played on the jukebox multiple times a day. I never got tired hearing them.
That's George Thorogood and the DELAWARE Destroyers ‼️‼️‼️
Use to go see him on the regular at local bars in Delaware
LONG AGO ❣️❣️❣️💯
People here in Wa. State really love George. He would come here every year and play at Columbia George, giant outdoor stadium. The event was known as George at the Gorge.His voice is so husky and masculine, love it!
I always love y’all’s reactions. Music is the universal language. Here’s the thing, George is from Delaware. Not exactly southern. (I was born there too) His band is the Delaware Destroyers. I have met the most hard-core country music lovers in Massachusetts, even though I grew up in Florida Louisiana and Texas! The point is music is universal! And George Thorogood is just damn fine music!
I am from DE also and he used to play on Main St in Newark de by the university back in the 70's, right out on the sidewalk
I, too, was born in Delaware (Wilmington, 1957) and have never once considered myself southern. Live in Florida now but still a "Philly" guy! But I'm never offended if someone thinks I'm from down here!
Great choice, one of the hardest working live bands of the '80's.
If you saw "The Destroyers" perform, you were wholly entertained, they didn't hold any back.
The man with the hat, glasses and the rectangular guitar, in the pool hall is the esteemed Bo Diddley, a rock n' roll contemporary of Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins and Elvis in the day.
The elegant gent with the statuesque blonde who comes to wager, the fabled Willie Mosconi one of the greatest pool champions ever to lift a cue !
This song was used to great effect in the opening scene of Terminator 2.
When Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator beats up a bar full of bikers, takes their clothes, a bike and a cool pair of shades this kicks in. The people in the theatre I was in lost it laughing and clapping.
That entire movie T2 is mind-blowingly awesome.
I loved the part when the Terminator walks into the bar buck naked and one of the waitresses passes by and looks with great appreciation at him while the terminator is measuring her for clothing fit - discounting her as female. This song rocked that movie.
Listen to this funny song if you want to hear about a guy getting beat up and having his clothes taken. Laisse béton it's a French song and the better versions are the original by Renaud and of course Pomplamoose
@@gammle-vikingr Hmmm will do
Ohhhh, I knew they were gonna love this one, ha. George Thorogood is always a fun time! It is impossible not to like his badass, bluesy rock.
My favorite use of this song was in the opening scenes of the Stephen King movie Christine!!! It sets the tone for the entire movie!
That’s BO DIDDLEY in the background with his square guitar
I haven’t even seen your reaction yet, but I loved this song when it came out! I even named our bowling team BAD TO THE BONE...and we won the league!!
Awesome memories!!!
Love this song. When my son was a toddler he would dance around the house playing air guitar singing "I'm bad to the bone daddy". Thx for the memories.
lol...my daughter too. She decided it was her theme song....
George was the first concert I ever went to in 1986. He is one of the best performers you will ever see live.
The black guy with the square guitar is Bo Diddley, he is also a legend blues singer and guitar stroker.
Next: I drink alone by George Thorogood please
I think Amber had a Saxasm!
In other news, I've seen George in concert about five times. In small venues I've been close enough that his sweat was hitting me as he played guitar. He is one of the best guitarists I've ever seen, and he just rocks that bluesy sound like nobody's business. I don't know why he is not recognized more for his guitar playing. He NEVER disappoints in concert. It's just rocking fun from start to finish and you can tell that he is living every note like It's his lifeblood.
That's funny. My youngest son's claim to fame is "Kirk Hammett sweat on me!".
I was just going to say that same thing--I have seen him in small venues and he is SO GOOD! He still puts on a great show.
George Thorogood is definitely one of the most under appreciated musicians of all time. He has sooo many fantastic songs out there and most people have only heard 3 or 4 of them on the radio and most of those people don't know who sings them. Truth be told he has a huge library of great music.
I too have seen him multiple times. What an awesome musician. His concerts are always great. The first time I saw him, Brian Setzer opened, and Brian's last three songs, George came on stage, and played with him. Red Rocks outside of Denver, CO, the best concert venue ever.
1978 saw him live in a bar. What a night.
" Move it on over" "Gear Jammer" "Who do you love" "Hot Rod Lincoln" "I drink alone" " One bourbon, one scotch, one beer" This man does not have a bad song.
No doubt about that 50 years of incredible hits
The best part of this video is right after he sings, "I'll make a young woman squeal" ...Amber squeals.... LOL
This is a classic! I believe that’s blues legend Bo Diddly playing pool!❤❤
Thorogood is a rock n' roll/blues style
That is why Bo Diddley was in the video. A legendary Blues guitarist.
2 legendary artists in 1 video
It's the Bo Diddley beat and 'Who Do You Love' was a mainstay in Thorogood's set from the beginning. The song became an FM rock radio staple and one of Thorogood's most identifiable and popular songs. They became life long friends ever since.
"Snakeskin shoes baby put 'em on your feet, got the good time music with a Bo Diddley beat"
"One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" has to be your next reaction.
Another amazing song by George Thorogood is "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" - it has a BADASS guitar riff, and he's storytelling to boot.
George brought these old blues tunes back to life!
I saw George in a small venue back in the 90's and he was so good and so loud! Awesome show!
The first time I ever heard this song was back in the mid to early 80's, when I was really into WCCW wrestling. The Gentleman Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez would come down to ringside to THIS song! Great memories
Chris Adams never got his due in pro wrestling.
Rod, I was right there with ya Bro !! Man those were the days. But I'm sure every generation has said that, but it was, for real. Loved wrestling in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Then they lost me in the McMahon Era. But I sure loved southern wrestling. Now those boys were tough!
He's actually a real cool dude... I first saw him open for The Rolling Stones but about two or three years later I was at a local bar lounge after work having a cold one one evening watching a couple acoustic bluegrass musician friends of mine who were playing, and when it was time for their set break one of them introduced someone that would fill the time, and then George Thorogood walked up with his guitar and did [I think if I remember right] a three song set. The twenty or so people in the bar that night including me in the front cushy chair and table got a free show from the man, It was amazing! I shook his hand, thanked him, exchanged a couple words and onward he went.
If I would have known he was gonna be there, I would have brought some photo prints I shot and developed from his Stones concert gig to autograph for me. They were close-up shots of him tearing it up on that big stadium stage where he was wearing that same snakeskin jacket you see in this video.
I saw George Thorogood during the 1981 Rolling Stones tour at the LA coliseum. He put on a good show, but unfortunately, the thing that sticks in my mind the most, was how badly Prince was treated by the jackasses in the audience. Mick Jagger should have known that Prince wouldn't be a good fit for that show.
@@mikeb3835 which is why at Candlestick it was GT and The J. Geils Band opening for the Stones. Tbh, I am glad Prince wasn't on the bill, not a good fit for that show.
The older gentleman in the suit is Willie Mosconi a all time great billiards player. George is playing Bo Diddley a fantastic blues artist.
glad to see someone else recognized Willie :P .. as a Kid I got to play a few games against Willie and Minnesota Fats.. they had stopped at my grandfathers bar in a small Western Ky town.. so many great memories from the... 2 B's
Personal story about this song. I was in the Navy and we were coming back from a Med Cruise and they did a poll, to see what song to play as we came into pprt.
This song got 90% of yhe votes.
He also did a remake of the Johnny Lee Hooked song O e Burbon one Scotch an one Beer.
My personal favorite of his songs os Gear Jammer.
One of the most recognizable guitar openings in all of rock. It's so distinct that once you've heard it, it will never leave your soul.
His voice is truly bad ass I heard him on u tube recently doin a live show and it still sounds amazing
George's cover of Elmore James' "The Sky is Crying," "You Talk Too Much" and "Get A Haircut" are a must!
His version of The Sky is Crying is outstanding live
You should listen to his song I Drink Alone.
Was a legend around the Philadelphia area many years ago where me and my friends saw him 9-10 times. You’ll want to hear Move it on Over, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, Who Do You Love, Ride on Josephine, Nighttime, It Wasn’t Me, Cocaine Blues, The Sky is Crying. All covers from the beginning of rock and roll but he does it so good! He covered these about 25-30 years after the originals came out. Brought the early rock and roll sound to the modern ears of the time.
I attended a George Thorogood and the Destroyers concert in an auditorium on the Florida State University campus several years ago (in the 80s). Although it was movie theater type seating, the music was so raw and rockin' I literally could NOT sit down. I HAD to dance! Even when I was out of breath and ready to take a break, they'd crank up another tune and I just kept dancing. The music was so LOUD that when I walked outside after the event, I could not hear the water cascading in the fountain in front of the venue, and the traffic noise! That concert taught me to bring ear plugs to concerts, just in case I needed them. Absolutely awesome experience!
The pool showdown with Bo Diddly is so fun. This has always been one of my favorites since it came out in the 80s. I am such a fan of blues and blues rock. I love the hard hitting beat of this song and gritty feel of it.
George is in the Guiness book of records for touring. He played in 50 states in 50 days. Seen him live 5-6 times. Good time music.
Please check out Johnny Lang he has been performing since he was a kid, he’s 40 now. He’s a singer songwriter guitarist in the rock gospel blues genre. My two favorite songs are Lie to Me 1997 and Redlight 2003 among other good songs. He was also featured in the sequel The Blues Brothers 2000 movie. One of the the gifts I sent you
Blues Brothers 2000 was a good music movie.
Louisiana Gator Boys??? How good can they be??? 🤣
This song is used with the Monster Truck Gravedigger and TV show Married with Children used it a lot too.
A friend of mine went to the University of Delaware from '76-'79 and he used to see George and the Delaware Destroyers all of the time before they hit it big. He was a HUGE fan. I've seen them twice and they kick butt...always put on a fun, rockin' show.
In the video, the black man with the cowboy hat he is playing against is the legendary Bo Diddley. There is someone for y'all to react to, too! Bo can play some guitar!
My father was a jack of all trades and occassionally a pool hustler. When I was 15 I saw him win a guy's entire paycheck ($600 at the time, 1973). My dad did give the guy half back because he knew that he had a wife and two kids. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Another great artist who was rocking the world at the same time was David Wilcox. "Hot Hot Papa" "When You Mistreat Her" "Downtown Came Uptown" "My Eyes Keep Me in Trouble" "Bad Reputation" "Bad Apple" "That Hypnotizin' Boogie" ...There are many more where tose come from. Great energy in the guy.
We had the best of both David and George in Canada, don't know if Americans clued into David Wilcox, if not their loss. Layin' Pipe is David's signature song in Canada. Ahhh the double entdre.
@@toddstevens13 I use to know a Todd Stevens. Oshawa Central Park Senior Public school.
@@KelleyStrzelczyk Nope, different Todd, sorry
I love watching the two of you and your chemistry with some of these songs! You are so much fun to watch,makes a 75 year old man grin ear to ear!
Love this song and have ever since I was a Young Kid.
I am alone this year for the holidays and your reactions are just a great way to spend some time not thinking about missing the ones I love. Love y'all!!!
Now you are getting into real rock and roll. The black guy with the square guitar in the pool hall is Bo Diddly a blues legend and George Thorogood’s hero.
Very cool cameo in a very cool video for a very cool song!
The old pool hall hustler who laid the money on the rack is I think Willy Mossconi and I'm not sure how to spell his last name!!! Back in the day he and Minnesota Fats were pool Gods! I hope that my words find you and yours blessed and doing well!!!
Bo Knows. ....
@@alexcontreras9936 like I said he was a blues legend.

You guys will LOVE "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain, guaranteed! A banger with THE riff.
He's 72 years old and still can play
One of my favorite blues rockers! And also inspired me to explore different vocal styles.
He's a good picker and plays a mean sliiiiiide!🤘
Hard to believe there's anyone on this entire planet that hasn't heard this song.
You will absolutely love his cover of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"! I heard some guys blasting that tune, and it was so good; I asked them WHO was that?! Just do it! You're welcome.
This was my high school class' theme song. GO CLASS OF '87!!!!!!
In the 1970's George Thoroughgood came to town and I had fun as a teenager would. LOL Stevie Ray also pass through town (Regina, Saskatchewan), Sonnie Terry and Brownie McGee, and Muddy Waters. Johnny Winters too. Amazing to see these blues greats. I wish you could have been there. Cheers.
Listen to 1 Bourbon 1 Scotch 1 beer!!!!! Your welcome
I remember George's first album and he blew everyone away with his slide guitar playing.
