I don't care what anyone says, Chuck Berry was the rock n roll poet. He not only revolutionized the guitar riff, but he also wrote fantastic lyrics. His lyrics made sense and yet were still fun.

When that hound broke down, was a big story. They could never let a poor boy down! Chuck employed many people, and I’m so appreciative of those who uploaded this song. The funk needs to jump outta his soul when he hold that guitar. His musical style and influence across rock & roll can never be forgotten, or minimized. He has influenced and taught every iconic guitarist & the great one’s list his imprint as their best inspiration! Thanks Chuck! Long live rock and roll!
I don't think he's singing about what you think he is. Chuck's lyrics are all about the Freedom Riders in the South in the early 60s. They attempted to integrate public transportation by riding in the front of public buses and trains. The "hound" breaking down was his metaphor for the Greyhound that some Freedom Riders were riding near Anniston, Alabama when it was pulled aver by state police to get the Freedom Riders off. After doing so, some Klansmen torched the bus right on the side of the road. He makes many more references in the song about other events of the Civil Rights struggle.
Love Chuck and his brilliant guitar riffs. He was a great writer and showman and also love Elvis's cover, he was an amazing singer, interpreter, and performer. I listen to both!
In R 'n' R there's nothing like a bit of Chuck Berry! He's that combibation of a great song, vocals, guitar, lyrics, rhythm not to mention showmanship, a formidable performer.
Fucking amazing. Don't know if he's talking about motor problems or civil rights issues but he's documenting his life experience and struggles . I love Chuck and upset he he held to deal with that shit.
I want this playing when I'm cruising down I-95 in a Vette with the top off and the wind rushing past! This man is and will forever be an American treasure! RIP Chuck Berry AKA The King of Rock n Roll!!!
I saw Chuck Berry live along with Little Richard on May 20th 1995 in Birmingham UK. They were completely awesome. It was my life`s ambition to see them as they were my musical heroes when I was growing up. Their music was always playing in our house. Unfortunately Fats Domino was taken ill that night, but was also on the bill, so the true professionals they are, Chuck Berry and Little Richard performed most of Fats`s hits. I`ll remember the gig for the rest of my life! Hail Hail Rock n Roll!!!
I was at Norfolk Scope one Friday night in the early 70's,and the Eagles were playing. Their backup band didn't show,so they did their set then came back on stage to do another. They opened with Promised Land,and the damn place practically exploded. This was the first reserved seat concert I ever went to,and that first encore song ended that crap. EVERYBODY was up on their feet and dancing. Who would ever think of going to a Eagles concert and hearing them cover Chuck Berry songs? NAILING them?
Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and more...each in a class of their own! As a student of theirs for many years I'll have to say that I wish there weren't so damn many people who leave comments who feel like they are "THE" teacher! So great to see one of my favorite Chuck tunes performed at this period of his career. Many thanks!
I saw him in Lake Tahoe a 'few' years ago. I've seen most of the great old acts, and knew that he couldn't have much longer to perform He still did his famous duck walk, but not as far as before. I'm real glad that I saw him while he was still around. It was a great show.
I saw Chuck live on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City in about 1970 when I was 9 or 10 years old. Still remember and cherish the experience 50 years later.
This was a lot of fun. To all the Elvis fans there are no actual live versions of Elvis doing the song and from what Ive heard Elvis does not come close to Chuck Berry's raw and original rock and roll versions. CB doing the duck walk during the solo is icing on the cake. But it sucked that the band was messing up and just stopped in the middle of the song. Chuck played it off like a pro.
@@theyrekrnations8990 Writing has NOTHING to do with greatness. If it did, Ella and frank would be trash. But unfortunately, your low IQ prevents you from understanding that.
This was when he did the 'London Sessions' album in the UK - I saw him live in Glasgow Scotland in January of '73 and it still ranks as one of the best gigs I ever saw. Keep on rockin', Chuck...
Chuck is a great example of how incredibly talented and revolutionary African Americans were in founding rock n roll. WITHOUT CHUCK, THERE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ELVIS!
Except Elvis was recording a year before Chuck. Plus Chuck gave EP the credit for opening the door. In other words, you've got that completely back to front.
Chuck is one of the all time greats, a pioneer of rock and roll. Scotty Moore, Elvis’ lead guitarist in the 50’s, though not a lyricist or singer, was an even more skilled guitarist, but a quiet man, content to be in the background.
Chuck Berry = eccentric genius, he inspired so many people, one guy who changed the world with just a guitar and his mouth (lyrics). BTW, for a good read check out "Chuck Berry: The Autobiography", a very interesting book, well done.
hallelujah! I am privileged to have lived in the same years as the Godfather of Rock n Roll - May the Great Architect of the Universe bless you Chuck! Much love and Peace! X
He is the very reason I wanted to play guitar my dad sung johnny b good all the time and when I got older got all his records I could find. RIP Chuck play on brother.
Well, that's a pretty ringing endorsement of the man which I would find hard to quibble with. I came to him probably a bit later than you via the early Stones stuff. But once I had heard the real thing, I was totally hooked. Hooked lined and sinkered. The greatest lyricist of the 20th century bar none, and coupled with that double note guitar playing style which he invented, surely the daddy of them all.
For those of you who don't know. Chuck Berry was raised in St.Louis,Mo. In those days the only music influence at night on the radio was stations like WSM in Nashville,,Grand Ole Opera HENCE the country flavor in his music. GOT IT NOW!!
"This man taught everyone from Angus to Keef, and every Goddamn guitarist who ever picked up an axe how to be cool." Chuck was major,no doubt about it,but there were also a couple of guys named Dick Dale and Link Wray out there bending a few strings,too.
For someone who was born, raised and lives in St. Louis, Missouri I am proud to say that I am from the same place as the Great Chuck Berry. He still performs here as well. I would be happy to see him perform live just once but I keep forgetting to try and get tickets.
Yes, I agree, good comment. While no denying the greatness of Elvis, I kinda think Chuck is really the king of Rock n' Roll. After all, Chuck was really the one who influenced bands like the Beatles and the Stones, and I think Johnny Rivers made a career on doing Chuck songs.
I love this artist..Really he is the king of Rock´n´roll. I had lucky to see him in 1978 in Toulouse(france). From today it is one the best moment in my live. Thancks Mister Berry andre(french)
That little bend at the 2:08 mark, every guitar player who's ever made a dollar playing his axe, owes everything they are, everything they've made to this man and that moment.
This is part of Rock & Roll folklore - Elvis's mother once said to him "Son, you are good. But you ain't Chuck Berry". Now you decide who was a greater Rock & Roll artist.
Chuck invented it! Elvis improves on it! Credence perfected it! Zeppelin cashed in on it! Metallica massaged it! Commercial radio killed it! They were all great at their thing in their time! They all took from others! Life would be less rewarding without any of them!
