CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!. | Chuck Berry - Run Roudolph Run REACTION

[@craigreid7178]

My cousin played bass for Chuck for 15 years and did the oldies tours with him and a lot of other old groups like Little Richard, Bo Diddly, and many others.

[@RitaBowen1]

You should dive into Bo Diddly

[@williambianchi2006]

Give your cousin a high five. Sounds like an awesome experience.

[@kimcutts424]

"You Never Can Tell" by Chuck is a great song. It was used in the movie "Pulp Fiction"

[@chriswhinery925]

Can never go wrong with Chuck Berry. He wasn't the first rock & roll artist, in fact it could be argued that there really wasn't a single first rock & roll artist, since different components of what came to be called rock & roll were invented by different people. But he certainly was one of the pioneers and in my mind the best of the really early guys who did it. He was from the same era as Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and while they're both fine, to my mind Chuck Berry is the best of the lot. As you both noted in the video his guitar style was both distinctive and exceptional and he was probably the single biggest influence with regards to how electric guitars "should" sound in rock & roll across the genre. He sort of set the template that all of the various guitar styles used in rock nowadays evolved from.

[@Chevy11]

Back then though you could consider Berry a shredder!

[@Coolrockndad]

Don't forget Elvis with the 2 others you mentioned.

[@rebeccalipps8007]

The Rock Hall has a whole floor dedicated to the pioneers of Rock & the Blues it came from. Elvis is credited for bringing the sound together commercially on the radio. Some stations would not play Black artists. Changing social views from the teens of the time encouraged stations to open up to the "Black sound".

[@Coolrockndad]

@@rebeccalipps8007 Yes that's due to a white kid that sounded black, which was Elvis.

[@rebeccalipps8007]

@@Coolrockndad Yes, Elvis was the white guy that employed the Black sound

[@tjhunger8644]

Johnny be Good, and run run Rudolph, (both similar songs) are 12 bar blues. 12 bar blues are one of the most prominent chord progressions in popular music. The blues progression has a distinctive form in lyrics, phrase, chord structure, and duration. Couple that with the gear Chuck Berry used and you begin to understand the Chuck Berry sound. At the risk of sounding esoteric CB used a semi-hollow Gibson guitar he used either his 1957 Gibson ES-350T which was fitted with Gibson's then-new P.A.F. humbuckers, or he used his1956 Gibson ES-350TN which was loaded with P-90s.(P-90s and humbuckers are the pickups which turn vibration into electrical signals and are well suited for hollow-body guitars giving a warm crisp sound to blues guitar playing) These two guitars were used on the majority of Berry's Chess Records

[@highpath4776]

How do you reckon a Gibson sounds compared to a Gretch. The Gibson Les Paul short necks sound more punchy/attack, but they are no hollow bodied. The larger hollow bodies have resonance.

[@tjhunger8644]

@@highpath4776 I appreciate the question but I wouldn't be able to answer questions relating to different guitars my knowledge is limited but if you find your answer you can let me know Thanks

You know Chuck is who Angus got the walk from.🤠

[@ChristopherGwinn]

The sound of guitar back then is just playing clean - straight into the amp or into the recording console with no effects pedals to make it distort (which weren't invented until the early-to-mid 60s). Amps in the 50s could get some natural distortion if you really cranked them up, but recording engineers discouraged guitarists from doing that in the studio and, on stage, the PA systems weren't very powerful yet, so guitarists tended to not play at full volume, so they wouldn't drown out the drummer and other band members.

[@jasonpucel8111]

Agreed. And this has created a crazy market for the amps and guitars of those days. .. Some of the guitars from that era will easily bring $200,000+. It has also sparked a lot of debate between analog guitar gear lovers and digital guitar gear gurus… Which makes Me think that you guys should listen to Night People by You Me At Six. They are a band that has two guitarist… one is analog gear only and the other is a digital gear buff… can you tell the difference?

[@tomwrobel279]

A more recent original you will enjoy is "Hey, Santa!" by Brian Setzer Orchestra. Brian Setzer is the singer/guitar player from Stray Cats.

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

Amber’s Smile shirt reminds me of one of my favorite sayings…”Smiles are like Hugs. Their only value is in giving them away.” I like to think that the more smiles we give away the better the world is for everyone.

A classic rock ‘n’ roll Christmas song… I remember watching Chuck Berry singing this song on TV. Over 50 years ago and we’re still singing to it. I remember watching American bandstand and everybody jitterbugging to this Christmas hit from Chuck Berry it seems like yesterday.

[@dbradx]

What a great choice - my Dad was a big Chuck Berry fan, so we heard this a lot every Christmas. I think the version Jordan is thinking of is Bryan Adams' take on it that came out for the original Very Special Christmas album back in the 80s. He did a great job of it and it gets a lot of airplay on the radio. Peace and love to you and the fam!

[@bengilbert7655]

The A Very Special Christmas albums are rock and pop stars singing Christmas songs to benefit the Special Olympics. There are around 8 of them now but my favorite is the first one. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" -- By The Pointer Sisters "Winter Wonderland" -- By Eurythmics "Do You Hear What I Hear?" -- By Whitney Houston "Merry Christmas Baby" -- By Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" -- By The Pretenders "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" -- By John Cougar Mellencamp "Gabriel's Message" -- By Sting "Christmas In Hollis" -- By Run-D.M.C. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" -- By U2 "Santa Baby" -- By Madonna "The Little Drummer Boy" -- By Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band "Run Rudolph Run" -- By Bryan Adams "I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas" -- By Jon Bon Jovi "The Coventry Carol" -- By Alison Moyet "Silent Night" -- By Stevie Nicks

I love her song "This Train", followed by the more uptempo "Didn't It Rain, Children". Also, if you like Loretta Lynn's stuff, check out the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" based on her life. You're appreciation of her music will grow.

[@zoegartham312]

I have done some work with the Angel Tree program before, and it is really a great program. The program is primarily for children with incarcerated parents who can't (for obvious reasons) be with or get Christmas presents for their kids, or at least that was the focus as I was aware of it. I actually ran it a couple of years through my local church. Incarcerated individuals would sign up their kids for the program, and we'd get a list of names. We then had to call all of the families on the list for confirmation and to get a couple gift ideas. Then we'd give out the angels to members of the congregation on a few Sundays in November, they'd bring the gifts back to the church, and then we held a (somewhat unique) party where the families could come, pick up the gift(s), have some refreshments, and have a chance to interact with the community. Of course, the last year I ran it was I believe 2005, so a lot has likely changed since then, especially with regards to the pandemic. Looking at it from the link Jay and Amber have provided, it is less focused on the children of inmates and more on people suffering from poverty in general. This could be a change in the focus over the last 16 years to be more inclusive or it could be that it always was that inclusive and the narrower focus was something that our church asked for specifically. Either way, I hope this information helps people understand more about Angel Tree, the work it does, and why it is so important to support it each year.

[@jennifermorris6848]

Angel tree was how we did our family shopping every year. Each kid got a kid of corresponding age to shop for and we went wild. It helped us see what our kids wanted but it also was important for them to put somebody else first.

Anything Chuck Berry is worth a listen! One of the all-time greats. For something non-Christmas and a little naughty, you should listen to his version of “My Ding-A-Ling”. It is a hoot, but he does a good job of keeping it family friendly while the adults know why it is naughty.

GUITAR SOUNDS - Ok in the late 50's, Fender made Tweed amps (they were covered in tweed cloth). The circuit is designed to sound a certain way. They sound a lot like Chuck Berry. In the early 60's, Fender changed the design of the circuit. Early 60's amps were brown colored, and they have a slightly different sound. In the mid-60's, Fender changed the circuit again, and the amps were black colored - these amps sound different also. Another thing that contributes to the guitar sound in this song is the fact that Chuck Berry is playing a hollow-body electric guitar. Look at the picture - it is thicker than most electric guitars. This guitar has a slightly hollow/echoey sound, compared to thinner semi-hollow guitars, or solid guitars. You can buy old guitars/amps from the 50's and 60's, but they are expensive. Also, various companies currently make knock-offs of these old instruments, that sound similar, but not exactly the same.

[@Voltor07]

Paper and wax capacitors are pretty hard to find these days, as are 5751 tubes. The 12AX7 replaced the 12AU7, which replaced the 5751. The 5751 tubes and wax capacitors are what give 50's amps their unique sound, as well as the fact that those old amps had no ground connection, so there was a lot of 60Hz hum going on in the power section.

Ian Paice said in the 60's and 70's, that they were all self-taught and found a lot of things by mistake, I do know that electric guitars do have on the guitar buttons and a lever that changes things and the amps do also have control buttons.

Back in the day, amps had tubes in them, versus the circuitry of more modern amps. A lot of audiophiles love the tube sound, as they think it’s a ‘warmer’ sound.

[@ehbiscuit]

The amps back in the 50s and earlier didn’t have integrated circuits and solid state electronics. Most amps used vacuum tubes for the circuits which produced that warm tone. The distortion came from running things as full blast as they could which is where distortion got another name “overdrive” for the overdriven amps.

[@craigreid7178]

Even today most guitar players favor tube amps for their warm sound that is easy to distort. They use effects pedals to alter their sound and add cool sounds.

[@ferdberfle5069]

While we're in the Christmas mode, I have a suggestion! Back in the 50s/60s there was a country/gospel crooner with a really deep bass voice named Tennessee Ernie Ford.

[@michlkwitz]

A lot of what made 50s music sound the way it does is the limitations of the recording equipment. You have to remember that at this time, recordings were done live in the studio with the whole band playing at once because they only had one channel to record to on a reel to reel tape. There were no overdubs, no mixing, it was all straight to tape. Les Paul (a legendary guitarist, producer, and inventor) invented multi-track recording; he would record one channel, then play along with the playback while recording on another reel to reel machine. When the first actual two-channel recorder came along in the 60s, it changed everything. Then 4-track, 8-track, etc., etc., came along. It's part of the reason bands in the late sixties became so experimental.

I believe the sound of the guitar has to do more with how guitars were built during that time versus an amp setting. Most modern guitars have special components that reduce the extra sounds that this era is known for.
