Since 1976, they’ve sold over 15 million albums, built a catalog of classic hits, and played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows. They broke records with their 50 Dates/50 States Tour, delivered landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL, and became mainstays of radio, MTV and stages worldwide for more than two generations. Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent - and consistently passionate - progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture history.
For the past 45 years, it’s been very good to be George Thorogood & The Destroyers. And in 2021, their Good To Be Bad Tour: 45 Years Of Rock will prove why like never before.
“If you’re content, you may as well be dead.” George says. “I think everyone has thoughts about retiring, but the phone keeps ringing. You want me and The Destroyers to come to your town, set up our gear, wear some cool threads and play ‘Who Do You Love?’ End of conversation. Let’s rock!”
Buddy is terrific. Would you please share the details of why Hank was let go? Also, why was Eddie Shaw and Arno Hect let go? I love history, this is my favorite band, I’ve been a huge fan since I was a teenager, please share this information so I can learn more about the Destroyers.

So I have seen y'all every time you played Salt Lake City, even the Zephyr club bar, introduced my son and my second wife to your music. (first wife wouldn't quit drinkin, so she had to leave), anyway long time fan, got everything you have ever done that I am aware of. Keep rockin.
I was lucky enough to see George Thorogood open for the Stones in Hampton Va on Keith Richard's birthday in 1981. HBO was carrying the Stones live and a guy jumped on the stage during the encore. Richards hit him with his guitar then kept on playing. Anyway, George put on an amazing show and his energy was off the charts. If you ever get a chance to see him perform, TAKE IT!!!!! I would certainly love to see him again.
