First time hearing George Thorogood “Bad To The Bone” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@richardcranium5048]

George was a great ball player to. He played minor league ball in the Braves organization, and was considered a top prospect, hitting over 300 in back to back seasons before giving it up to pursue a music carrer

[@soulcrusher0357]

You mean the 2021 World Series Champion Braves

[@richardcranium5048]

@@soulcrusher0357 no this would have been more like the mid to late 70s

[@aaronkitchens4151]

I never he was a baseball player that’s cool

[@aaronkitchens4151]

@@richardcranium5048 ok thanks for that tidbit

[@mokumboi19]

That is simply not correct. He played semi-pro for the Delaware Destroyers, who have never been affiliated with the Atlanta Braves. He was never even remotely close to being a top prospect, and I have no idea where you got these stats from. So you've either been lied to or you're just making things up.

[@missybaker1608]

Love this song! Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood 1982. I was 18 just graduated High School started Beautician school in July of that yr!! I was 20 when he performed it! Such a good song about BAD BOYS! Just loved it!

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love his "One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer". Its an great updating and combo of two John Lee Hooker songs, "House Rent Boogie" and "One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer". I saw George in concert 11/20/82 a few months after this song/album came out.

[@claytonanthony9619]

To your generation won't be able to enjoy music/concerts like n the 80s/90s, can't understand todays music

[@peterzukowski]

I saw George perform last year on Fremont Street here in Vegas. 72 years old and STILL rockin' just as good on that guitar as he always has.

[@Kagawongdog1]

I was never a bad ass but this song made me feel like one. Should try " Move it on Over"

[@GodseyKnives]

move it on over was written by Hank Williams SR.

[@robertkwiatkoski1292]

we framed houses to music such as this!

[@KevinRCarr]

Iconic riff, great song. Be sure and check out his song, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, another great bad boy song. And, speaking of iconic riffs, if you're not already familiar, you should check out the song Mississippi Queen, By Mountain, with Leslie West making his guitar scream defiantly. It's only two and a half minutes long, but it'll kick your butts in those 151 seconds.

[@John57945]

I agree Mississippi Queen is pure gold.

[@MaRoach7]

Definitely check out One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer. I however prefer the cover of Mississippi Queen by Zakk Wylde

[@rkw436]

Yes and make sure it's the one from the Capital with Elvin Bishop.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

I wonder how many films and TV shows this song has been featured in? Has to be a bunch.

[@cuzz45]

I saw him in concert in 1983. He put on a great show! One of the great entertainers of all time and a real rocker! Love your reaction!

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

One of the finest blues rock musicians of all time, he was always helping out old blues legends by inviting them to play with him, George is a good dude 👍

[@raymondreid4987]

I saw George Thorogood back in 1981 when he opened up for the Rolling Stones and J. Geils Band and this band put on a show I had never heard a single song from him at the time but after the concert the very next day I got his move it on over album and there is not one single song that isn't a hit and shows how talented this band is. I suggest you listen to the whole album and you will see how he can take a song called Cocaine Blues by Woody Guthrie old country song covered by many including Johnny Cash and make it just incredible by putting his spin on it. Then check out who do you love , another bad boy rock song.

[@TheBeatenPaths]

At one of the concerts on that tour, when the Stones left the stage, before their encore, the crowd was cheering for George to come back

[@debbiemccain5850]

"Who Do Love", and "I Drink Alone" are two more songs you should check out live🎶 Also, One Bourbon, One Scotch One Beer", live, showcases his great story telling🎸 George is a dynamic performer for sure!!🎶🎸🎶🎸

[@cordellsenior9935]

"I Drink Alone" is hilarious, and a great number.

[@jeffreiland7463]

Lots of cuts from this concert available to watch. There used to be lots of clubs/venues like this where the audiences were 10 feet away from the stage. --- Don't know if many are still around. --- Saw these guys perform about 4 years ago in Laughlin NV. Last I heard George was still performing.

[@roxannejudd3575]

My oldest child was conceived at a his concert on 11/01/91. Great concert! Her dad and I had a Awsome time!

[@jonnno2439]

Ah yes. Fantastic song, fantastic performance. If you go and see The Yardbirds singing a Bo Diddley song called ,I'm a Man. "The Yardbirds I'm a Man (live 1967) ", you may see a similarity to this song by George. (You may also spot a young man named Jimmy Page on guitar)

[@mikephillips8810]

You'd heard the song before, but live like this, with that killer riff, and those killer slides where George's face reflects every sound? Just brilliant. I was introduced to this band way back in the '80s but to my regret, never got to a live show. He certainly could kick a... onstage.

[@gerardroll6468]

For obvious reasons, I will forever associate this song with Al Bundy on Married… With children whenever he was about to do something cool. This was always the music that would “hit” for brother Al ✊️😎

[@davidphillips4476]

OMG LOL Now me too!!!!

[@jeffputnam3582]

I saw George and the boys in the '80's. It was the only concert I ever left deaf. Hearing returned later that night...mostly. Great concert. He was louder than Hendrix and Cream live.

[@olddrillsgt.461]

Rolling Stone Magazine wrote about George Thorogood if rock music was like food, that George Thorogood is a Deluxe Cheeseburger with Fries. When I was in High School in 1981 or so my friend had an 8 Track tape of Thorogood's greatest hits as the only music in his car. We spent hours upon hours listening to it while driving and partying.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Yes! George embodies that bad boy swagger that some girls love ❤️ In truth, George is a very sweet, decent man and it was a pleasure to meet him. I recommend another one of his hits called “I Drink Alone.” It’s just as entertaining as this one.

[@thomasharris4942]

I have seen George live twice. He legit ages backwards in any show he does. For real.

[@19chucki74]

One of the most memorable guitar riffs in rock. George Thorogood threw down back in the day!

[@billness7310]

I lived in Delaware for a while in the early mid-80s and George Thorogood would show up I live down by the beach in Rehoboth and there's a place called Dewey Beach and a little bar they're called the Bottle & Cork on the bay you could be sitting there at the end of the night and all the sudden you would hear jamming out on the Piazza and you go out there and George Thorogood just cranking it drunk off his behind he used to drink hard. You guys really should watch this whole concert it is freaking phenomenal

[@pbrooks4040]

saw him there too! isn’t it in dewey?

[@paulf4802]

At 5:45 when George sticks his tongue out like VENOM, Asia is like "ohhh", I almost fell out of my seat!

[@minigirl6379]

George is still touring.I just read the other day that he and Sammy Hagar are going to tour together this year. I love George. I saw him play several times when I was in college. I destroyed many brain cells while attending his concerts. Good times for sure! 💯

[@josephcarino5829]

I grew up in South Jersey and he was George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. We watched these guys in bars Late 70s

[@neildonley9626]

A bad boy image, but in real life, as I understand, he is a pretty nice guy from Delaware. He's 71 now, but in the 70's he played semi-pro baseball (2nd base) and his drummer played in the outfield.

[@patticampana9458]

Thank you for playing this, my husbands in a nursing home and this was his favorite song.

[@elizabethshow5105]

My Son knew every word to this song by the time he was 2 1/2- Thanks for the great memories- I’d forgotten all about it! Awesome Singer- great music!

[@richardtaylor8595]

I saw George 2 years ago. He just turned 70 and he kicked ass.

[@jennhen2675]

I also like One burbon, one Scotch, one Beer. Also, I Drink Alone.

[@Mikezak-qu6cz]

Quite a few years ago, a co-worker of mine asked me if I ever saw George... I said I hadn't. He said that it would behoove me if I ever had the opportunity. I saw him front row ten years later, and it is my mission to thank that man for insisting that I experience GT...

[@troygerencer1620]

Lucky you bro , I've listened to him over a long period of time , and just came to realisation watching this video and having a listen to his tone and grit again , throw in a "Yehauooo", does anybody else hear James Hetfield from Metallica ! They could easily pull off singing each other's songs ! 😀

[@RobinT-treehugger]

You like him, then you need to see Joan Jett live - she is a female version of George Thorogood. She is wild to watch.

[@billdomitilli8125]

George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers. I took my two sons to see them live when they were 13 and 10. Epic!

[@jeffwilcox5123]

His facial expressions tell the story.

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

Saw George at Oklahoma Zoo Ampitheater about 13 yrs ago, he is still bad to the bone lol. He was opening for ZZ Top. Was an awesome evening!

[@brheinfeldt]

I had delivered a supply of propane to a club in Dallas, TX called The Bomb Factory. I needed the owner to sign my service ticket, so I had to go the the front of the building to find him, and the bus for George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers had pulled up. George and the club owner were talking, so I waited quietly by. The owner signed my ticket, then introduced me to George... I was so excited just for the chance to meet him! George Thorogood told me he wanted to do a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan, and asked if I thought it would be received well? He also had one of Stevie's hats to wear for the occasion! "Everyone will love it!", I told him. Then he asked if I was coming to the show? I told him I didn't have tickets, so he turns to the owner and tells to set aside 6 tickets for ME!!&! Me and my friends were seated next to the stage, got free drinks and a meet & greet backstage after the show!!&! During the SRV tribute, George told the crowd that if they didn't like what he was playing, then he pointed at me and winked, that it's "his fault!" Definitely a day and night that I will forever remember!!&! AWESOMENESS ❤

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Ba ba ba ba bad to the bone, baby!!!! George is Thoroughgood!!!

[@Patrick-df5fo]

This a great song! It was featured in movies such as John Carpenter's "Christine" & "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" & the wrestling tag-team of "The Dynamic Duo", "Gentleman" Chris Adams & "The Handsome Halfbreed, Gorgeous" Gino Hernandez used this song as their music entrance in World Class Championship Wrestling fueding with The Von Erich Brothers. Classic old school wrestling! You have to check out the hair match where whatever tag-team lost the match, both wrestlers would have their head shaved bald in the middle of the ring! Also, George was a wrestling fan as well so check out his music video "Willie & The Hand Jive". It's on KZbin

[@danielschaeffer1294]

Check out Terminator 2: Judgement Day. When Arnold puts on his shades, this comes on the soundtrack. One of the great moments in film history.

[@josephgallagher945]

Thoroughly good George👍

[@kylewilliams6184]

LMAO!! Put those wings down and eat some vegan food!! George was the first dude I caught up with on MTV, back in the day. He killed it back then!! Within a year’s time, I was playing guitar, too... RIP to Bo Diddley and Willie Mosconi from the Bad to the Bone” video, which is hilarious, too... Great choice!!

[@colonizedgrain4034]

I was there at this performance! 1984 was a great year... I was born in 1986, but was still there at this sweet ass concert... I just blasted this song in my car 🚙- it was fun...

[@flutesong5527]

This song makes me happy, just because it's so outrageous

[@jwkoeniger]

What was I doing? I'm 76 now and I remember like it was yesterday. I was in my basement drum room with the door closed beating on my TAMA ROCKSTAR DOUBLE BASS with all the cymbals, sizzler, hi hat, cow bells, click track, speakers blasting, sweating, singing along with my head set mic...MAN YES!!! All after a hard day working at the bank. Yep, never forget that basement drum room with carpet on the ceiling, walls, and floor to soak up all the vibration and sweat. It was the old coal room next to the furnace and still had the shaft for the bin re-fill from the driveway. BTW...nice reaction you two.

[@mistymichelle9957]

This has been my younger brother's theme song since 1987. He was born with health issues, but he fought through it. 💙 from a couple hours south!

Capital City is in NJ and I'm from the UK but nevermind he's a fabulous perfpormer saw him in London, he is the star that stars go and watch.

[@sallyshipwreck4315]

I think Capitol theater is in Jersey as he mentioned Jersey girls. He changes it to wherever he's playing. After a George T concert you'd be wet, exhausted and grinning. No one brings it to the stage like him! This whole concert is online. I'd check out the part with John Lee Hooker or Madison Blues.

[@irishboy0001]

Saw him in concert back in the 80's in Tulsa. Bought tickets at the door and got front row center section. Came off the stage and was walking up n down in front of us playing. A rockin' concert for sure.

[@johnness2457]

I saw him open for the rolling stones in early 82 in Phoenix. He's definitely bad to the bone

[@TalkswithPop]

Welcome to the world of down and dirty roadhouse blues/rock. Another good tune by Thorogood was "Night Time" more bad boy lyrics and he cuts loose more. Oh, and in 1984 when this came out I was 14 and going to Thorogood concerts.

[@robertevans2450]

This was the USS LaSalle's pull away song, and extra volume when the Admiral wasn't onboard or when the targeted audience was a foreign ship(s). The memories...on the Great White Ghost of the Arabian Coast! For those who don't know, the LaSalle was painted all white when it was in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. A pull away song is the song played on the 1MC (sound system) when breaking away from another ship(s) or pier.
