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.
"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.
I'm glad you enjoyed listening to GT. If you thought that was fun and would like to listen to more. Then give this one a listen, if interested. "George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - 7/5/1984 - Capitol Theatre (Official)" (channel: GeorgeThorogood on MV) As always, I loved rocking with you Shon. Thanks for sharing.
I've seen him in concert a dozen times, and he never disappoints. Once he was with Buddy Guy. If he's ever performing in your area, you should go see him.
Lonesome George is getting older but still puts on a killer live show, I saw him a few years ago and he wouldn’t stop playing! The people running the venue turned on the house lights to get him offstage so their staff could go home. Packed house too, great show.
As a flower child born in 69.. I grew up in my early teens listening to this type of music. Long Live 70's & 80's music! The sax is what got me the most.... so raw... love it! peace
Pool legend Willie Mosconi also makes an appearance as the old dude who bets on Bo Diddley to win! George took his inspiration from Bo Diddley, as you can his sound in this song! Peace!!!
This song has been in many dozens of movies and TV shows. Most notably, was featured in Terminator 2. That chorus and that riff are both so iconic, and Covid-catchy.
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
I saw George Thorogood and the destroyers in concert! I couldn't hear for three weeks! It's definitely a physical and spiritual experience to see them live! So proud to be a kid of the 70s and 80s!
The phrase bad to the bone originated long ago and was mostly used to describe infections from war wounds. "The wound has gone bad to clear to the bone." It was then adopted by soldiers as a positive.
"Beauty is skin deep, but Bad goes to the bone." is what my dad used to say about this song. And this tune has been sampled and used in tons of commercials, movies, tv shows...
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!"
Bro! You got his name right! Nice job! He is my favorite artist! He has about 80-100 great songs that all sound bad ass. With the slide guitar, the saxophone and the screaming electric guitar! I cannot list them all. I have seen him live almost 10 times
I saw George at the El ‘Mocambo in Toronto, in 1977 (yes - the same place the Stones played!) “Move it on Over” hadn’t been released at the time! He blew me away! Dancing on the bar and tables! It was crazy! Two months later, he was ALL over the radio! Peace
I love love this man my hubby jammed with him years ago it was awesome. Great reaction. This song was played in the movie Christine my fav. movie. Btw George still can rock it at 74 yrs young.
Love Handsome George❤Seen them in concert in early 90s, one badass concert❤3 straight hours of some of the best sax playing, guitar picking you will ever find. Have several of his albums. Gear Jammer, Joesphine, couple of my favs.❤😂
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.
When the song first came out we didn't take it seriously. We just took it as a great rock song. And now it's an all-time classic! Thanks for playing it. I love this song! They did play the song in the movie Terminator 2. Maybe you heard it there. I bet you could find the movie clip of that scene on RUclips.
The familiar feeling is probably Hoochie Coochie man by Muddy Waters . But George is old school approved , he covered John Lee Hooker on his debut album and later did a duet with him on Sally Mae on The Healer album produced by Carlos Santana
In his early days, he was big from Delaware all up the 95 corridor to Boston. He was known as the best party band. We all loved his stuff in the late seventies, so happy when he broke through to the National market.
The "beat" is a famous Blues beat called "The Bo Diddley Beat", invented, or at least popularized by the man, who makes an appearance in the video. 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.
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
Thank You Shon ❣️ I lost my beautiful husband of 25 years just over two years ago in a horrible car crash 💔💔💔 He was one of the best pool players in our tiny little state since he was a kid basically Every weekend pool, pool, pool Miss You Anthony 🎱🎱🎱
This has been in countless movies and commercials over the years. Totally iconic. But gotta agree with everyone else who's suggesting One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer.
Lol love your reaction. My buddies and I had a cb radio hooked up to speakers under the hood and used to Blast this gem through them back in the early 90's. Those were the good old days for SURE!!! Top notch tune for SURE We played this at every house/yard party....
Maaaate! I watched George Thorogood in 'Huddo's Place' down in Tasmania. It's a tough place but it has great bands. George played for 3 and a half hours to me and my Uni mates in 1981. I've never seen anything like it since. Never.
You do know that the white haired guy is....... Wiiy Mosconi....Pool hustler extraordinaire him and Minnesota Fats, old wide word of sports used to televise their match's, Love yer work!
In my younger days, my party days any band would be amiss if they didn’t play any Thorogood Song; especially Bad to the Bone. Believe it to be true even today. ROCK- ON😁
Great stuff. Here's a very unique one for you. John Valby at the piano, mostly words. It's a bit dirty, but you'll laugh and never forget it. John Valby saying the Candy Bar Poem. He used to hit the college circuits and do drinking games as hundreds of kids crowded round. He guzzle a pitcher of beer faster than most could a single 12 oz cup. And the girls loved it too.
I think the pool game was just a metaphor. He's carrying a guitar case. Then when he opens it there's an old picture of Bo Dittly who is one of the greats of blues. George Thurgood is challenging his idol to a duel but they use a pool game instead.
Im sure youve heard this before, you just didnt realize it at the time. This songs been everywhere for decades... love your reactions, keep em coming!! How about some Bob Seger next? The Fire Inside...
Great video with the legend Bo Diddley Rock 'n' roll and blues legend. in the pool hall. I'm sure Bo was a huge inspiration to GT and the destroyers, brilliant!!
I love pool...um , I am old and can,t play anymore,bad eyes,balance,etc. but when I was young,,a lot of guys wouldn,t play, me,, cause, dare I say, bad to the bone?...Yep,George is....Love your reaction to this iconic guy little brother
I grew up listening to all of George's music. Thank you for reacting to his work. When my father was alive, he was a massive fan of Mr. Thorogood's albums. He saw him live more times than I could count. So this music was a large part of my childhood.
" I Drink Alone" and " One Burboun, One Scotch, And One Beer " absolutely worth reacting to.
Yes please
Everybody funny, now you funny too.
😁
Live versions! The one with Alvin bishop as guest (Older versions not newer ones lol)
*bourbon*
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".
I always wondered how this video was arranged.
The destroyers is the name of his band. You need to check out one bourbon one scotch one beer!!!
Absolutely check that song out. The live version IMO is the best
Not to mention, it was his FIRST single. I wanna say he was 19, but I'm not sure.
Also, b-b-b-bad? That's a motorcycle revving
"One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" - great tune by them
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".
For me it was in Christine.
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.
Other songs of his to check out, "I Drink Alone", "Move It On Over", "You Talk To Much", "Who Do You Love"
"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.
This never gets old, it casts a real vibe.
Never...always brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it.
If you like saxophone, you'll LOVE Glenn Frey "YOU BELONG TO THE CITY". The sax in that song is off the chain. 🙌
YESSSSS!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed listening to GT. If you thought that was fun and would like to listen to more. Then give this one a listen, if interested. "George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - 7/5/1984 - Capitol Theatre (Official)" (channel: GeorgeThorogood on MV) As always, I loved rocking with you Shon. Thanks for sharing.
A fantastic performance! Pure Jamming with Elvin!
Thanks so much! I’ll check it out!
@@shon1303 That clip he mentioned is L E G E N D. Must see stuff.
And another great song of his, I Drink Alone. These songs never get old.@@shon1303
This song still out here making people happy. 👏👏👏😁
This song only makes me see The Terminator getting on his motorcycle going to look for John Connor
I’m sure you’ve heard this song featured in commercials and movie soundtracks galore!
I've seen him in concert a dozen times, and he never disappoints. Once he was with Buddy Guy. If he's ever performing in your area, you should go see him.
Totally agree. I've sent him many times, more than anyone. He's just outstanding.
Lonesome George is getting older but still puts on a killer live show, I saw him a few years ago and he wouldn’t stop playing! The people running the venue turned on the house lights to get him offstage so their staff could go home. Packed house too, great show.
As a flower child born in 69.. I grew up in my early teens listening to this type of music. Long Live 70's & 80's music!
The sax is what got me the most.... so raw... love it!
peace
George has several legit bangers.
The gentleman he's playing pool with Is Bo Diddly... An old blues man who had a lot of hits with this same riff
Pool legend Willie Mosconi also makes an appearance as the old dude who bets on Bo Diddley to win! George took his inspiration from Bo Diddley, as you can his sound in this song! Peace!!!
This song has been in many dozens of movies and TV shows.
Most notably, was featured in Terminator 2.
That chorus and that riff are both so iconic, and Covid-catchy.
This song has one of Rock & Roll's greatest and most recognizable riffs of all time. Rock & Roll with a very Jazzy/Bluesy feel to it. True Fire!
I remember hearing this song as kid like 4-5 years old and just thinking this is the coolest song I've ever heard love that intro guitar killing it!!!
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
I saw George Thorogood and the destroyers in concert! I couldn't hear for three weeks! It's definitely a physical and spiritual experience to see them live! So proud to be a kid of the 70s and 80s!
The phrase bad to the bone originated long ago and was mostly used to describe infections from war wounds. "The wound has gone bad to clear to the bone." It was then adopted by soldiers as a positive.
🎶 Yeah, I drink alone. With nobody else. When I drink alone - I prefer to be by myself. 😂
He was pretty funny with his lyrics.
"Beauty is skin deep, but Bad goes to the bone." is what my dad used to say about this song. And this tune has been sampled and used in tons of commercials, movies, tv shows...
I'm shocked you haven't heard some part of this song - it's been on movies, probably many other places!
You got this song perfectly. Loved your reaction.
You will love everything by this dude. He was my uncles favorite. Glad you enjoyed it.
This song fit so well into the movie "Christine" back in the 80s
I Drink Alone and One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer. Epic hits from George! You’ll love them! 💪
Memories, man, great memories. About 30 years ago I was a test driver at the GM Proving Grounds in Mesa, AZ.

If you like this, check out the Eddie & The Cruisers soundtrack.
THIS! or even watch it
@@eidolonone DEFINITELY watch it!
@ronemker1597 and then the commitments and then rocky horror.
This song has been played in lots of movies. That's probably where you think you heard it
Bro! You got his name right! Nice job! He is my favorite artist! He has about 80-100 great songs that all sound bad ass. With the slide guitar, the saxophone and the screaming electric guitar! I cannot list them all. I have seen him live almost 10 times
Live version of One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer!!! The jersey version 😂
I saw George at the El ‘Mocambo in Toronto, in 1977 (yes - the same place the Stones played!) “Move it on Over” hadn’t been released at the time! He blew me away! Dancing on the bar and tables! It was crazy! Two months later, he was ALL over the radio!
Peace
I love love this man my hubby jammed with him years ago it was awesome. Great reaction. This song was played in the movie Christine my fav. movie. Btw George still can rock it at 74 yrs young.
Now you understand the swagger of George Thorogood. A lot of people borrowed it but none mastered it!
Love Handsome George❤Seen them in concert in early 90s, one badass concert❤3 straight hours of some of the best sax playing, guitar picking you will ever find. Have several of his albums. Gear Jammer, Joesphine, couple of my favs.❤😂

This was featured in the movie "Christine" and also in the "Terminator" , probably many others, but those are two that I know about!
When the song first came out we didn't take it seriously. We just took it as a great rock song. And now it's an all-time classic! Thanks for playing it. I love this song!
They did play the song in the movie Terminator 2. Maybe you heard it there. I bet you could find the movie clip of that scene on RUclips.
One of my favorite workout songs! I'm from Delaware originally like George and I saw him at The Stone Balloon early in his career.
George is the real deal. So many songs to check out. "Blus Highway, Get a Haircut, If you don't Start Drinking, and so many others.
The familiar feeling is probably Hoochie Coochie man by Muddy Waters . But George is old school approved , he covered John Lee Hooker on his debut album and later did a duet with him on Sally Mae on The Healer album produced by Carlos Santana
Parts of this song have been used in sooo many movies.
In his early days, he was big from Delaware all up the 95 corridor to Boston. He was known as the best party band. We all loved his stuff in the late seventies, so happy when he broke through to the National market.
The "beat" is a famous Blues beat called "The Bo Diddley Beat", invented, or at least popularized by the man, who makes an appearance in the video. 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.
The beat and sound are as old as the blues. Think about these lyrics "well I woke up this mornin'". You've heard it a million times.
The man @03:01 with the rectangle guitar is the LEGENDARY Bo Diddly!
If you want to react to some classic blues, that's your man!
This song has been used in multiple films: Christine, Problem Child, T2: Judgement Day, Major Payne....
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
Love your enthusiasm with the reactions do. Thanks for making an old woman's day. God Bless❤
They played this song on movie "Terminator"
Saw. them once in a theatre setting... 4th row, centre.(Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
Can't express how much fun that show was!✌🏼🇨🇦
Known as the greatest bar band in the world .
Man, this song has been used in many, many movies and commercials for decades!!
I literally gave birth while this was playing on “Friday night Blues”❤️
My generation grew up on the BEST music❤❤❤
This was a real rockers band 🔥💥
Thank You Shon ❣️
I lost my beautiful husband of 25 years just over two years ago in a horrible car crash 💔💔💔
He was one of the best pool players in our tiny little state since he was a kid basically
Every weekend pool, pool, pool
Miss You Anthony 🎱🎱🎱
Hope to brighten your day, I’m sorry for your loss🫶🏽
His pool opponent is legendary guitarist Bo Diddley, and the rich guy who lays the money on the table is pool legend Willie Mosconi.
I'm an old white dude that once looked like you but now I can see what has passed on and I hope you are it. I love that you get it.
He's a G he's not joke'n rock stars like him mean every word !
The old guy at the end in the light blue or gray suit looks like the great pool player Willie Masconi my idol!
This has been in countless movies and commercials over the years. Totally iconic. But gotta agree with everyone else who's suggesting One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer.
Buh-buh-buh-BAD… 😆 gonna be in my head ALL day
Must watch One Bourbon, one scotch, one beer. And listen to a live one, like the one with Elvin Bishop.
Lol love your reaction. My buddies and I had a cb radio hooked up to speakers under the hood and used to Blast this gem through them back in the early 90's. Those were the good old days for SURE!!! Top notch tune for SURE We played this at every house/yard party....
It's Black Blues!😎
You should watch an "in concert" video! The "Destroyers" have a killer Sax Man an the Band is AWESOME!!
I absolutely loved your reaction. Yes, it's definately one song that makes you feel, "BBBBBBB, Bad to the bone."
Maaaate! I watched George Thorogood in 'Huddo's Place' down in Tasmania. It's a tough place but it has great bands. George played for 3 and a half hours to me and my Uni mates in 1981. I've never seen anything like it since.
Never.
Great Reaction Shon! Loved the "heart" shades - definitely Ba Ba Ba Bad to the Bone!
You do know that the white haired guy is....... Wiiy Mosconi....Pool hustler extraordinaire him and Minnesota Fats, old wide word of sports used to televise their match's, Love yer work!
In my younger days, my party days any band would be amiss if they didn’t play any Thorogood Song; especially Bad to the Bone. Believe it to be true even today. ROCK- ON😁
The beat originated with Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters
Listen, this is from my time and growing up during this time, this is when music was good!
Keeping it pure 🔥 100% of the time !!!!!
Georgie T and the DELAWARE Destroyers, oh, YES PLEASE!
Shon love the “snarl” you had on your face while watching this video. You’re really feeling “Bad To The Bone” ❤️👍🏻
Man u crack me up... great insight and personality ..love it and a huge fan. Gonna check all your stuff. Keep up the good work!!!
Great stuff. Here's a very unique one for you. John Valby at the piano, mostly words. It's a bit dirty, but you'll laugh and never forget it. John Valby saying the Candy Bar Poem. He used to hit the college circuits and do drinking games as hundreds of kids crowded round. He guzzle a pitcher of beer faster than most could a single 12 oz cup. And the girls loved it too.
This is my era of music. It was the BEST
Check out “ who do you love” by these guys. It hits hard brother !
The best opening scene in a movie uses this song. Christine.
I think the pool game was just a metaphor. He's carrying a guitar case. Then when he opens it there's an old picture of Bo Dittly who is one of the greats of blues. George Thurgood is challenging his idol to a duel but they use a pool game instead.
What a bad ass song! I’m 100% dainty female but this song makes me feel like I could fight the world 🌍 🤣
Saw George Thorogood last year at Lake Tahoe. He still brings it.!!! I have a few videos on my channel
This might be the most played song in the world. It's definitely the most used song in movie's.
Im sure youve heard this before, you just didnt realize it at the time. This songs been everywhere for decades... love your reactions, keep em coming!! How about some Bob Seger next? The Fire Inside...
Great video with the legend Bo Diddley Rock 'n' roll and blues legend. in the pool hall. I'm sure Bo was a huge inspiration to GT and the destroyers, brilliant!!
Checkout “Who do you love”. Another one of those songs that’s a whole vibe.
I love pool...um , I am old and can,t play anymore,bad eyes,balance,etc. but when I was young,,a lot of guys wouldn,t play, me,, cause, dare I say, bad to the bone?...Yep,George is....Love your reaction to this iconic guy little brother
Bro! I play serious pool! I’m an armature, but I’m a Skill Level 9!
Hats off, to a brother pool player!
From British Columbia, Canada!
I grew up listening to all of George's music.
Thank you for reacting to his work.
When my father was alive, he was a massive fan of Mr. Thorogood's albums.
He saw him live more times than I could count.
So this music was a large part of my childhood.
Awesome reaction as usual from this great young man ! I saw George a few months ago in concert and he is fantastic !!
Ride on Josephine is another fire jam by GT and the Destroyers
Started watching you today, cheers for your good work and keep it up !
