George is underrated as fuck is such a crime.

[@Robaatosensei]

The man! Cool to the core. Had the good fortune to see him open for the Rolling Stones in 1981, but the even greater pleasure was seeing Prince get booed off the stage at the same show.

[@Mikee22ification]

Humble, smart and cool . . bad to the bone

[@RNFORLAW]

One of the best concerts I have ever seen was the Stones, J. Geils, and lonesome George in the summer of 1982....Great times ~

[@ahill9477]

Paul Parks I saw that same concert at the LA Coliseum in 1981. Thorogood was by far the best.

[@mattplus09]

@@ahill9477 I was there as well...Jagger in a crane or something'...don't really remember :) Peace!

[@jonnuanez2843]

I think there waa someone else at the L.A..Coliseum shows during that tour...hmmm scratches head...lemme see...

[@levinmoser4001]

Love that sound as you lay that needle down on that vinyl. The sound of beautiful static and you know the music is about to start.

[@fivecitydirttracker4776]

Seen George 4-5 times and he's been bad to the bone EVERY time.

[@johnnyjoey]

I did not realize until now that the term “bad to the bone” was a term first coined by George Thorogood! At the time, I assumed that it was a well known term, but I was just hearing it for the first time! As cool as the song is, i think it’s even cooler that he coined a phrase that has been commonly used ever since!

[@samchandler2527]

Okay, so "Find a prepositional phrase" wasn't something I though I'd hear out of GT about this song. LOL! I'm loving these docs on the songs and having the artist drop the needle, brilliant idea.

[@boom973Toronto]

Thank you, it's now a podcast.

[@ThePositive0ne1]

Growing up in the early 2000's I heard this song sometimes, but where I heard it the most is when Grave Digger came out of the tunnel. Being a 2000's baby I grew up around and loving monster trucks and still do. My dream/goal is to work on cars and to use the knowledge from working on cars and transfer it to working on monster trucks, and then from there I want to be a monster truck driver. I owe part of my praise though to George for gracing my childhood with such an amazing song.

[@Secretarian]

Great song, my fave performance from George was one Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - love the way he tells that story.

[@tdunph4250]

George Rocks! Great story! I love this Behind the Vinyl concept!!

[@massapower]

YA BABY!! Song was in "Married with Children"

[@BDUBZ49]

George has always been a great ambassador for rhythm 'n blues music. I saw him interviewed years ago. He said (paraphrase) "People ask why I don't write more original music. 1 - it's hard, and 2 - Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters already wrote all the greatest songs in my opinion, so why don't I just play those?" This from someone who wrote one of the most widely recognizable songs and guitar riffs of all time.

[@gammadan1228]

Saw George at the UPAC in Kingston New York 1986. Preacher Jack opened up for him. Great show

[@JL-xn3zy]

Best concert I’ve been to in my life was George and the Delaware Destroyers!!!! 1996 Kansas City👍👍👍👍 They killed it for three and half hours and did six on cores!

[@custerranch]

@@Nostaljack You're absolutely right. And I don't know why I felt the need 4 years ago to make the unnecessary comment. Thank you for pointing it out so I could delete it

[@brentpeterson5526]

Luv hearing these backstories.

[@redrum9484]

Awesome!

[@falcngnzx2]

The theme song of the consummate Muscle Car of the 1980s - the Buick Grand National!

[@LesSmith45]

He is my favorite show to watch live. I have seen him about 10 times and every time he never disappoints!

[@chuckfan1]

Great showman, but never changes his set list in 20 years... 15 or so songs.. 12 are always the same..

[@jimbo91262]

LOL OMG I'm dying here laughing in the first minute. "It's bad, really bad"...lol..."What? I kinda like it Jerry". Too funny. Great story and song. Love it!!

[@Baynes91]

I love that George and The Quiet Ones presented the song to Muddy Waters. I just listened to 'Hoochie Coochie Man' and I instantly thought of 'Bad To The Bone'. Trying to give the song to Muddy is a classy move.

[@karolinajesus7671]

My favorite George Thorogood quote “Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out somewhere.” I saw him on that 50/50 tour. I have no idea how he got that taxi out to Honolulu....

[@brugglesby]

How cool is this guy?!

[@jeffreyday2414]

"Prepositional phrase" -- not something you hear that many rock musicians say.

[@WarriorMigs24]

Classic forever

[@cliffside1]

All Bundy!!! Let's play!!!

[@lisaheisey6168]

My mom considered "Bad To The Bone" as her "theme song" and she played the hell out of it.

[@fw1421]

Lisa Heisey God bless your mom!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@petermontagnon4440]

Great song!!!!!

[@frankgrizza2120]

My first concert. Wildwood nj 1985

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

First time I heard George Thorogood was on FM radio when he covered One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, way back in the 70s. I still have the LP.

[@daveg4236]

OMGWTFLOL love that song. Better than BTTB

[@danvee1804]

awesome song

[@mrj-charles6383]

Not a song I enjoy but I enjoy the stories. Heard Ron Bennington talking about him years ago on the Ron and Fez show.

[@Howdy699]

That man is BAD! Legend

[@denisedaniel828]

classic it is.

[@honeyblunt5150]

I'd love to see a similar segment of him talking through the "I Drink Alone" song

[@NathanBarley1]

I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle

[@RustyX2010]

Nathan Barley no it’s from the beginning of the movie Christine

[@ricomajestic]

Hahaha!

[@vincegedeon6583]

😂 Such An Epic Movie Part😂

[@ssn0651]

Don't forget the shades .

[@guerreirodedeus5200]

This is a robbery?

[@Scottocaster6668]

How ironic, this video run time is 5:55, The video for this song has Bo Diddly with his square guitar with a "5 Speed" label stuck on it.

[@kekelaward]

I saw him on that 50/50 tour. I have no idea how he got that taxi out to Honolulu....

[@coreysmorgan8488]

Cool Dude

[@joec5962]

Every time I hear this song, I see Al Bundy

[@TCB405]

If you ask me trouble is the OG bad to the bone

[@wonderfulwino4265]

Ours and us over and over. GO HENS !

[@vonsmink1]

LOnesum George is tha Man....Should have kept Luann playing too! hahaha

[@njaneardude]

I used to work at a fancy condominium in the 80's. I was walking through the parking garage and in comes a guards red Porsche 944 driven by a dentist. License plates: B2TB I knew there was no hope at all for any man to meet a woman now. They were all his.

[@keepingitreal71]

He still looks the same.... Being bad to the bone kept him young....

[@BTom16]

I've seen George in concert twice. Great music. Great performer.

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

A cool cat all the way TY

[@joynthis]

Glad he finally got help with his stuttering.

[@Jessewren1968]

joynthis Ha!

[@MsAppassionata]

joynthis 😂😂😂 B - B - B - B - Bad to the bone!

[@daveg4236]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dancollins8296]

Thorogood is a bad ass

[@Bluzian74]

This is thoroughly b-b-b-b-ad!! Jokes! Seen George many times, but the best one was at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto when he opened up for ZZTOP in 1995. Truth be told, he was so damn good, ZZ Top should've opened for George. He was jumping and leaping, with his white dress shoes. 15,000 screaming fans. He had us by the balls. God bless you George and the Destroyers.

[@JoeBetro]

That was baaad baby!

[@publicanimal]

lol, he bumped the turntable with his leg and made the record skip at 0:13

[@SilentKnight43]

Keepin' it real.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

I love a voice that rattles your chest :)

[@jonnuanez2843]

Al Bundy approves of this interview

[@79tazman]

This guy has tons of rocking tunes I don't think there is a album of his that I don't like and his live stuff is just as bad to the bone :)

[@saanzacs]

GT's signature song

[@nicholasheredia4235]

It’s also GD’s signature song. ☠️🏴‍☠️🟣🟢

[@jobckts682]

Baddass Tone on Slide too.

[@jonathanhaynes9950]

I love this series. I wonder why they chose such a dark palette? Really dark set and everything sucks in the light. Maybe it's actually good. I dunno. Love the series, though.

[@antr7493]

Way cool channel

[@boom973Toronto]

thank you.

[@thomasandersonrittberg2903]

Problem Child and Terminator 2 and may be other Móviles I don't Know

[@generalpatzer6893]

No mention of Willie Dixon? It's a total copy of every Dixon song ever written.

[@eudymaverickmentor]

Actually, that would be Bo Didley.

[@fivecitydirttracker4776]

So..........are you Billy Erickson ? .........STFU.......

Your best song by far is one bourbon one scotch and one beer!

[@terpag11]

Delaware, baby

[@BauthorFowler]

Muddy Waters' loss was your gain.

[@GSXK4]

I always think of Terminator 2.

[@nicholasheredia4235]
