Im kinda sad right now. I don’t even know who Bo Diddly is!? 😑🥹😭 Sounds like I should know. Damn, he must of been bad to the bone !! 😎 Thanks to the comments for putting me on to new shit!!! 💩
@@skiahh That he is though I knew the name had never seen him and honestly had forgotten. I remember when this song came out in 1982 I was 14 and then about 20 years later would learn to play the riff. OK let me rephrase I learned to play a riff that could be recognized as Bad To The Bone but no where on George's level LOL.
The black gentleman that he plays pool against is Ellas Otha Bates (Bo Diddley) who is one of the musical pioneers of rock and roll. He helped to inspire so many rock and roll bands of the 60's and 70's. The man that was watching the boxing in the next room who came over and put a bet down on the pool table is William Joseph Mosconi, one of the greatest pool players ever.
@@brucevidito4923 Wow thats cool. did you play a game ? i would have loved to play just one game with Willy. Heck i would love to have one of the willy brand pool cues. They are nice. cant afford it though
I forgot that too. Bo Diddley. Wow! I almost wish he'd played guitar in the video. BP needs to check him out. Also present was Willie Mosconi. He was one of the best professional pool players back in the 50s until somewhere around the 80s. I love this song.
The black gentleman sitting there with the rectangular guitar that stands to shoot pool is the legendary Bo Didley, a music great from back in the day.
This is NOT toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity is when some men don't like women to be strong or successful and are threatened by it. My man is a very masculine secure man. He supports me and cheers for my success and I adore him for it. We got each other's backs. He still goes out and has fun with his boys. Nothing wrong with that.
George Thorogood played in Dallas, TX at The Bomb Factory not too long after Stevie Ray Vaughan passed away. I was delivering propane there and went to see the owner about signing my invoice when Thorogood's tour bus pulled up. I did the best I could to wait without going fanboy while the club owner and George were shaking hands and talking. Suddenly, George Thorogood asks me directly if I was coming to that night's show? Sheepishly, I told him I couldn't because I didn't have tickets. He asked my name, then told the owner to make sure I had 6 tickets waiting for me and my friends and a table near the stage!!&! Then he asked if I liked SRV? And if I thought it might be too soon to do a tribute? A bit stunned, I assured him that I LOVE SRV and, yes, absolutely do the tribute, because this is Dallas, TX and everyone loves SRV!!&! At the show, our table was center-right in front of the stage, the drinks were FREE all night, he told the crowd that if they didn't like the SRV tribute, that it was my fault and he pointed right me, and put on a hat that Stevie Ray had given him and he absotively hit it out of the park!!&! Best night of music I ever got to be a part of!!&! 😊
George Thorogood was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. He is still out there playing, we watched him on stage for 1 1/2 hours. Fantastic Band!
Bo Diddley is a legend. He was one of the earliest Rock 'N Roll artists, starting in the mid 50s, was massively influential, and has his own beat - "the Bo Diddley beat" - a syncopated beat that you will surely be familiar with. He is perhaps best known for his songs "Who Do You Love?", "Bo Diddley," and "Say Man." Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, and the Rolling Stones are among the many bands who site him as an influence, and if it's not obvious, he was a huge influence to George Thorogood, who covered several of his songs.
The old "rich guy" is Willie Mosconi playing the "Stake horse". During the heyday of pool hustlers, he and Minnesota Fats were the kings. That was when you could only eke out a living at legitimate tournaments but make a fortune in backroom games. "The Hustler" starring Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson is a great movie about these times. Newman reprises the role in "The Color of Money".
Yes!!! Another one I can cross off my list! 😁 Love George Thorogood! He has so many great songs and he's an amazing story teller! I drink alone, Move it on over, One bourbon one scotch one beer, Madison blues, Who do you love....The list goes on and on!!
I don't see my reply telling you to - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oA3-InoYsWQ.htmlsi=v-4O5QjafUjC4CBt - I don't think someone got the reference :)
Ps. He married in 1985 and was with her until.her untimely death from ovarian cancer in 2019. (Marla, whom he had 1 daughter with). In the 70's he played semi-pro baseball as a second baseman for a team in Delaware. In 76' he earned rookie of the year in the Roberto Clemente league.
This song was my son's favorite when he was around 2. He would run around the house in his underwear, playing air guitar singing "I'm bad to the bone, daddy." I think his dad and I realized back then that we had a rock-'n'-roll-er on our hands. He's 40yrs old now and a musician and sound engineer. He knew what he wanted at age 2!!
I love that George Thorogood was vocal about the greats who inspired him. He got to play on stage with Bo Diddley and got Bo in his video. He sang Bo’s Who Do You Love with the line about “play that rock and roll music with the Bo Diddly beat.” The late 70s early 80s saw a lot of widespread recognition and main stream music recognition of Bo Diddly, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Son House, BB King, Chuck Berry and so many more. some of the great American blues and rock icons were nearing the end of their lives and careers and it was important some got long overdue recognition from a music industry and fan base that owed so much of its soul to their unique gifts.
Trust me, many ladies like me LOVE that "toxic masculinity" and you don't have to be male to smoke cigars or play guitars. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and George Thorogood is playing in my kitchen AS WE SPEAK! Great choice for a reaction!
Over 30 years ago I was a test driver at the GM desert proving grounds in Arizona. They laid off most of the drivers during the winter since we did more hot weather testing, but early one spring i got a call asking if I'd like to drive 3rd shift that night. I was in classes and had an exam first thing the next morning, but they said it would be fine if I cut out a little early to make it to school. I get to work and they handed me the clipboard for the prototype Corvette. Not only that, but the second test it was due for was the high speed test, done on their banked 5 mile circle track. The Corvette was fitted with a decent Bose sound system and right as I was going up to 100 mph, this song came on. I'm sitting there cruising at 100 at midnight and I have Bad to the Bone at full blast on the Bose and thinking..."I'm getting paid for this!"
Wow no one recognized the one and only GREAT BO DIDLY. This ICON , ONE OF THE. GREATEST BLUES MAN IS THE ONE SITTING DOWN WITH A GUITAR AND THEN GETS UP AND PLAYS POOL WITH HIM . Here’s to BO DIDLEY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its a shame the youngsters of today dont recognize Bo Diddley(black pool player) and Willie Mosconi(rich old dude)in the video. I get it, but those are 2 LEGENDS!! Bo is a blues legend guitarist and Willie is the greatest pool player ever!
Reeling’ and Rockin’, Madison Blues, Move It On Over, Who Do You Love, Howlin’ for My Baby, I’m a Steady Rollin’ Man, the list of George’s bangers is a long one!
This song holds a special place in my memories and heart. It was spring of 93, and my twin boys who would soon be 2 y/o (they were born on the 4th of July, so happy Bday boys) first heard this song. When the opening guitar rift started, my boys stood by my stearo speakers and danced for the first time, bending their knees and nodding their heads to the beat of the music. Ever since then, every time I hear it, I get a big smile on my face... 🤙
My husband passed away 15 years ago and this was his favorite song so I had it played at his viewing because it was his favorite song. It may have seemed inappropriate to some but I played it for him. Makes me teary hearing it.
The first real concert I ever went to was George Thorogood back in 1986 and I still say it's one of yhe best shows I've ever seen. No glitz. No pyro. Just a kick ass performance I'll never forget.
I agree with @chelseahaley8350.....my fave of her suggestions is "I Drink Alone". but he did release a great track in 1993 called "Get a Haircut"..it's f'n amazing!!!
I've seen George Thorogood and the Destroyers a dozen times over the past 40 years. It was always a great concert. He has many great songs for you to react to.
The song "Bad to the Bone" (made famous to non- George Thorogood fans played at the begining of the Steven King horror classic movie, Christine" is based on Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy". As mentioned Bo Diddly, has a cameo it the video, who wrote and performed another famous George Thorogood cover, "Who Do You Love?"
The guy he's playing against is a rock & roll legend named Bo Diddley, and the old mob boss is Billiards Legend and World Champ Willie Marsconi. I met Bo Diddley back in 88, I think, and he gave me V.I.P. access to the concert he was in town to do.
6:30pm; sitting on my deck.. Still "Feels Like" 42° Celcius with the humidity. Your set of reactions today are helping my wife and I put up with this heat tonight. We are getting a chuckle outta you tonight. Thanks BP 😀
I had the coolest mom on earth back in the day! She'd buy me the latest "albums" all the time for no reason at all. I had a library of music that was the envy of my friends, lol. This is one of those albums.
Classic tune from 3 chord George, also need to listen to One Bourbon, One Scotch and One beer. Cameo appearances from Bo Diddley and many time pool champ Willie Masconi. (oldGuy with the cash and young girl)
I saw them play at a biker rally in L.A. around the mid 80s. When someone yelled out "Bad to the Bone", he said "Shut up. I'm going to play it. And it'll be great!". It was.
Vince is pure gold, a legend. I've seen him in concert amazing! His treatment of a ballad tugs at the heart strings. He is a gifted vocalist musician and songwriter. And is a truly deserving of his place in the Eagles. This song always gets me for the line when I walked through the front door, my whole life had changed Nobody answers when I call your name. Not because of a breakup but remembering my late sister and parents each time I come home now alone. Look at us another favourite quoted at my Dads funeral service. It's about marriage and all these yearstogetherr. My Dad and Mum nearly made it to 63 years. She joined him 17 months later. his version of Together Again was the last music I shared with my Dad. So thanks for reacting to him. Emotional for sure! CC
George, his band, and his crew were absolute badasses! In 1981 they did the 50/50 tour and performed 50 shows in 50 states... IN 50 DAYS! You've toured... just try to imagine pulling that off.
I saw George Thorogood & The Destroyers in Odessa, TX and in SLC, UT (Front Row and center)! "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" is a must listen from them
The man shooting pool with George Thorogood is none other than rock legend Bo Diddley, who was a big inspiration for George. When he opens his guitar case, the picture inside is Bo Diddley as a young man
The older gentleman that put down the money was Willie Mosconi as truely great player from the 1960's. His most famous opponent was playing Minnesota Fats
I’ve seen Thorogood twice in concert. My brother and my awesome stepdad the first time had such a good time that friends bought tickets for all of us when he came back a decade later. He was great. The second time he would stand at the edge of the stage with his arms wide, looking for praise. And he did that a few times. He’s a performer, for sure.
I just saw him last month in concert. He opened for John Fogerty. Concert was at 7. First act was Hearty Har consisting of Fogerty's sons Shane, and Tyler. They were great. Then Thorogood, and the Delaware Destroyers played for a solid hour. Fogerty didn't hit the stage until 9:30. His sons were also part of his band. I got out of there at 11:30. I paid for it the next day at work as this was a Sunday night show, but oh it was so worth it. Thorogood is 74. Fogerty is 79. They're still rocking,and totally killed it. Definitely a bucket list concert.
George is one of my favorite musicians!!! He has tons of great tunes!! He also still tours. I believe his daughter plays in his band now. She's a great guitarist too.
I saw him at a concert in his senior years -- still wearing those shoes and still giving off the vibe. The two super fans (late middle-aged females, as was I at the time) wearing their tank tops that I'm sure came from an original concert in that era, seated in front of us were now standing and got into a shouting/pushing match because they both wanted to be closer. Omg in tears. Still Bad to the Bone!
I grew up listening to Thorogood and always thought he was just having a whole lot of fun with the whole genre of the 'player' - after all he was married to Marla Raderman for over 30 yrs. He's having fun and we are all having fun a long with him.
George and the Band. Never missed a concert with him or Dwight Yoakam since the 1980s when they arrived out West. George danced his heart out in the early days. George said he's going on the road soon.
Saw George and The Destroyers in '82 at Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam. During his solo he jumped off the stage and kept on playing as he went backstage and came back on stage on the other side. Also saw Stevie Ray Vaughn in '84 at the Volunteer Jam. It was the 1st time he had played in Nashville.
I’m 70 and I fell in love with this song when I first heard it , I think in the movie “ Christine “ based on the book by Stephen King . Love all his music. This was the 80’s 😊
I saw George Thorogood and the Destroyers. They opened for The Pretenders...who then opened for U2. It was at the Oakland Coliseum. U2 opened with: 'Where The Streets Have No Name'...The Bass was phenomenal.
Bo Diddley, one of Georges big influences --- Willie Mosconi, widely considered one of the greatest pool players of all time. Great video to go along with a great song.
#HOG in the house. First off congrats and how is the wife and family? Next, I had the pleasure and honor to see George in the band in 82 or 83, being front band for the Rolling Stones in Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ. They kicked the Stones ass, and the sax player was outta this world. George has several other notable songs, I DRINK ALONE, ONE WHISKEY, ONE BOURBON AND 1 BEER and several others. He is an American Indian and a great musician and performer.
For me, the meaning of the music video is that Bo Diddley was getting older and looking to retire. This video was a "passing of the torch" from the old to the new when it comes to boogie boogie blues.
