[@breandanmaguire3335]

They are all blues singers. Check out John Lee Hooker's version. And Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightning. And Otis Redding's Cigarettes and Coffee

[@matthewpackard1184]

You mean John Lee Hooker's multiple versions. Fast and slow versions.

[@breandanmaguire3335]

@@matthewpackard1184 Yep, and a reggae one, although I can't remember who the artist's were. I a going internet search engine this

[@mitchd73]

Howlin' Wolf is a Father of metal singing.

[@herbiesnerd]

That metal tube is called a Slide, used for Slide Guitar. They most always either made of Metal or Glass. All those guys he named, they are all old Black Blues Guitar Legends. I think this song is an old John Lee Hooker song. All those guys are the OG originals. Rock took the blues and changed the beat, lyrics and attack, but the good old basic 12 bar blues is the root. You should listen to George play this from the studio version too.

[@MrGrxxx123]

Coricedin bottle & a slide guitar

[@GonzGunner]

And Elvin Bishop is a blues legend too. He had them eating out of his hand when he was in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, his blues credentials are indisputable.

[@sambufalini4198]

@@GonzGunner Saw him with Butterfield at the Fillmore in San Francisco, 1969. He killed it, I think he was maybe 18. He took a wild, three-chorus solo on one tune, absolutely flying, and one of the horn players had to pull him back before he started a fourth.

[@yzenynot]

All those people he's mentioning are Blues Legends and well worth exploring. Maybe start with Muddy Waters..

[@bbb462cid]

Mckinley Morganfield?! Love the guy! RIP Muddy

[@coreysgarden6169]

he had john lee hooker, willie dixon and others at that concert. I am so jealous of George :) lol

[@mpeterraven]

Definitely Muddy first, then John Lee.

[@Kachunk673]

Might to mention Robert Johnson

[@michaellombard894]

Albert King, Freddy King, BB King.!!! Three Kings.

[@yappers2011]

So those guys were Blues guitarists, and the cold thing is, when George would say a name, Elvin would play one of those Legend's licks. Crazy good stuff.

[@suicyco4life666]

George Thorogood and the Deleware Destroyers!!! Hell yeah! This guy is underrated in my opinion.

[@ragsjo9751]

Dude is tha shit!!! 👌🏽

[@bunkshaner22]

Most people forget “The Delaware Destroyers!”

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Not among musicians

[@UrbanNinja12011]

I Drink Alone is another good one from Thorogood. Also Move it On Over

[@suicyco4life666]

Move it on over was originally an old country tune by Hank Williams.

[@UrbanNinja12011]

@@suicyco4life666 I knew George didn't take credit for it, didn't know who did it. Thanks, I'll look it up.

[@wiseguy8100]

Drink alone and bad to the Bone!

[@SpookyFreeHalloween]

@@suicyco4life666 Hank Williams wrote Move it on Over. He also had a hit with I saw the Light and I'm so Lonesome I could Cry.

[@sidneycrossley7802]

I'll bet you've heard a few of his songs... "Who do you love" was immortalized in Joe Dirt. And "Bad to the Bone" was in Mega Mind for one. It's bad to the bone. Lots of songs

[@juli_lB]

My metal head friends come over, I throw this album on. 🤣 wt??? is this??? Me: sometimes you just need a drink. 😂💜

[@minigirl6379]

Elvin wore his good overalls for this performance 👏 👌!

[@Cifer77]

It's truly a damn shame no one ever reacts to the studio version of this song lol Audio sounds very clean, but kinda quiet

[@ronwilcox7716]

I know where you are coming from, and mostly agree, but Elvin Bishop! Elvin Bishop!

[@Jimbarleyy]

I love the studio version!! Especially the little riff after he says “and out the door I went”

[@mildredpierce4506]

Someone did kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXS6ipWmbM93iK8

[@gunman462]

This brings the energy of a live performance even if it is inferior to the studio version.

[@WebsterA]

​@@JimbarleyyI've been trying to play that riff for 20 years. 😆

[@ashleydooley5330]

It’s a slide piece. It’s used on the steel guitar too.

[@Terri6868]

He probably doesn’t know what a steel guitar is

[@mikemiller3069]

It's a little different. A guitar slide slips over a finger (usually the pinky) while the slide used for lap steel and pedal steel guitar is a solid slide which is held in the hand instead of slipped on the finger.

[@MarkS-rt9vi]

It looks like Elvin was using a socket instead of a regular slide. The top had a square opening like a socket wrench

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Best dive bar song ever written 💪❤️

[@WTF-ki3fy]

The sound is clear but could be a little loader. I suggest bad to the bone next, awesome video bro.

[@image3320]

Studio recording of this and Bad to the bone made this group legends

[@realPenrodPooch]

You shocked me a bit when you asked who George was listing off. I actually said, "Wow!" out loud when you said it. Bluesmen all - and damn good ones, too.

[@bakerfrank98531]

I haven't heard George in awhile. Dude thanks for this vid. Time to go back and listen to this band. *Last Call For Alcohol*

[@maryerpenbach9517]

That quick lesson from Elvin on the guitar gods was a gift from the heavens.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

“Bbbbbbbbbad bad to the bone” next please- 💙👍✌️

[@dianelockwood9282]

Check out Bad to the Bone, George

[@kjohnson9306]

As others pointed out, he's listing off a bunch of blues legend and, at each name, Elvin plays a little snippet in the style of each artist mentioned. And this was waaaay back 1985. And it still holds up well.

[@DaRiffGuy]

A slide will now forever be known as a "pinkie pipe" \m/

[@agent1543]

If you wanna know some more blues players listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn with Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign - In Session ... There is an entire 1 hour video if you just want to enjoy it in your own time.

[@jaydMANifistation]

You would die if you drank every time he says "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer." I am an alcoholic in recovery. No drinks in 4 years as of the 17th of this month. Praise God! You never heard of slide guitar? Well you said you didn't know anything about guitar. The thing on the guy's finger is called a slide. It's a staple of blues music. But I like "Pinky Pipe," so now it has a new name. The people he's naming are all Blues Legends. You have to check them all out! Muddy Watters "I'm Your Hoochie Choochie Man" is the song he mentioned from Muddy Waters. Please react to that one. God bless you, my friend.

[@versetripn6631]

Well-done bruh! You give me the old school DJ vibe. See, Tim Reid (WKRP) and Cleavon Little (Vanishing Point). 😎 I dual-cassette recorded this cut from the radio back in 80s. Luv

[@richardcranium5048]

George Thorogood pitched in the the Red Sox farm league and was considered a top prospect for the majors when he landed a record deal and became a rock star instead

[@smf1280]

The charisma he has is off the charts. So fun to watch live!

[@debbiemccain5850]

If you've heard "Ba ba bad to the Bone...thats George!! He's got many more great songs!!🎶🎶

[@rookis25]

Elvin reppin Tulsa w/ 9/16th deep socket on the pinky.

[@PJ808H]

OMG ... This is gold, Elgin Bishop was a legend. What a great combo. This is road house music at it's best. George could ride the down beat riff as well as any.

[@hockemeyer1]

They are GOATS of blues.

[@dbplaypen]

I never heard a live version. Not MUCH different but timing seems a little off, but still good

[@agent1543]

He's naming amazing Blues players and he's playing their known for licks on the guitar after he names them. Amazing!!!

[@thenibnetwork4638]

Hey Van. The audio sounds thinner. I never thought the audio was bad, even with the furnace on. Needs to have more dynamic range. Nasal in a way. Also your level is to even to the video. Hope that helps. Looks great though! Props for OG Destro!!

[@lakerkrazy]

The pinky pipe is a slide. You'll notice the guitar sounds different when he uses it. It makes the sound resonate differently when the string is strummed.

[@Boatzilla2]

You might want to check out his song "I Drink Alone" when you have time. It's pretty funny and he name drops a lot of liquors and beers.

[@tjmctube]

Yup he drinks "alone". But all the booze that he drinks have human names, Jack Daniels, Old Grand Dad, Jim Beam... that's the spin on the lyrics.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I live that song! 😂🤣

[@vasuviusjones5883]

Bro! That's a slide that Elvin Bishop is using. Yep, those are legendary blues musicians. Have you listened to any of that other music yet? Here's a suggestion: Tower of Power; songs: You're Still a Young Man and Sparkling in the Sand. Thanks, Van!

[@cathyd.7332]

All the guys George mentioned are big time blues legends.. you should ck out all of those guys

[@djmcg01]

Awesome...Elvin Bishop with the slide is making the guitar talk. Saw George back in the day w the Destroyers. "Bad to the Bone", "I Drink Alone" "Who do You Love" are worth checkin out. LIVE is ALWAYS best

[@dianelockwood9282]

That would be a slide on his finger

The guys he is mentioning listening to on the juke box are all black blues legends. Some of the best music ever made. The foundation of rock n roll.

[@lyricalrocker3410]

lol he changes the lyrics with each live performance

[@moniqueleroux2198]

They're all early Blues Legends who play guitar and are the heart and soul of what became rock and roll.

[@garylindgren6080]

That's George thorogood!! He doesn't need endorsements...he's giving endorsements...know that!

[@bbb462cid]

Way back in teh day, he was based out of Boston. I wish the blues scene was back here...

[@PatriciaPeters-ys7yq]

I’m not kidding I always love your reactions. Thank you for brightening brightening my day.

[@Naomi_Boyd]

The mic is good, but it needs to be boosted. Also, I need to see Van react to Bazz Luhrmann, "Everyone Is Free To Wear Sunscreen". I can't think of another reactor that would do it justice.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Elvin Bishop is playing slide guitar, and I’ve always called it a slide. My brother used an empty prescription bottle to play slide. Yeah, he’s naming the cream of the crop Blues artists.

[@mikemaricle9941]

He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play.

[@suicyco4life666]

As a guitar player myself, i will bet you 10 to 1 that what your brother was using is an old glass Coriciden bottle.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

@@suicyco4life666, gosh, I don’t remember. It could’ve been.

[@roberta7727]

Love George Thorogood 😅 Bad to the bone is a great song also I drink alone ❤ Thank you for jamming him 🦾 he's a living legend Soo funny, great songwriting, great guitarist,singer, Love your reaction and your show and you 🎧 Rock on and Rock hard 🎵✌️🤘📀💯

[@PeterWolfe2012]

Google "slide guitar". Funny how my comment with the link disappeared. Hell, Google owns KZbin. Edit: Now my comment with KZbin only links disappeared. It must be the artificially stupid algorithm.

[@jasonswierenga1443]

Stevie ray vaughn life without you live at the Capitol theater 1985 great blues GOAT .🤘🤘🤘💥💥💥👍❤👍❤🤘💥

[@JimiBurleigh]

So I'll amplify the note that the thing on "The Bish"'s finger is called a "bottleneck" and the style is called "slide". For a masterclass in slide guitar I can point you in no better direction that Mr. Elmore James. Elmore James was an innovator with his guitar technique and influenced generations of Blues, Rock and Country artists. Country superstar Bonnie Raitt did a cover of James' "Coming Home"; Stevie Ray Vaughn does an amazing cover of his song "The Sky Is Crying". Those would be good songs for you to check into if even only for your own personal enrichment. As you've seen in the comments the names that "Lonesome George" was tossing out there are some of the most influential American musicians who have ever lived. The Rolling Stones took their name from a Muddy Waters song. Muddy Waters is one of the founding fathers of Chicago Blues. John Lee Hooker has similar status in Detroit and is considered one of the most influential Blues guitar players of all time. ZZ Top's heavily bearded guitarist Billy Gibbons (aka The Rev. Billy G) pays homage to Hooker in both his playing and his singing style. You should check out John Lee Hooker's version of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" just for comparison Hooker recorded his version in the mid 1960's. Thorogood would have been about 15 maybe when Hooker's record came out. I could wax poetic about the late, great B.B. King** for days but I'll keep this brief by just saying that he has so much passion and soul when he played that even the spaces between notes could say more than some rock & roll 'shredders' could say in a lifetime. "The Thrill Is Gone" is one of those songs that any music fan should listen to at least once in their lives. The song "When Love Comes To Town" by B.B. and the Irish rockers U2 (written by Bono especially for B.B. King) is an absolute banger and a half! I'm listening to it as I'm typing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imKqfXd9nrF4asU I love the story of how B.B. came to call his guitar "Lucille" and in the 80's the Gibson guitar company issued a B.B. King "Lucille" model based on his customized personal guitar, Hey, just out of curiosity what does "LFR" stand for? . (**shorthand for his nickname "Beale St. Blues Boy" from when he was working at a Memphis radio station, his real first name was Riley)

[@biscoloco]

Love your channel man. A lot of chuck berry, hooker/and Mississippi delta blues (muddy watters, BB King, etc..) in thouroughgoods guitar work.

[@Vickytoriahirt1234]

Hound Dog Taylor had 11 fingers I believe. He also mentions BB King, Muddy Waters, Lightning Hopkins. All great players. I'm surprised you don't know these guys. I'm white and I knew these guys from when I was like 13 years old and I'm 30 now. My dad played a lot of Lightning Hopkins around the house.

[@kirbyk7370]

I had his first 3 records, vinyl, all great, no bad songs. This guy is amazing! He got me into the blues during a very bad time when disco was king. What a horrible thing to happen to music. The other band I found that saved me from disco was The Stray Cats. Another Great Band!

[@garytom1935]

Awesome jam yeah, seen them live kick butt concert 🤘😆🤘🎸🎸🎤🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌😎👍

[@mrhalfstep]

Respectfully, you gotta get caught up. That's a chrome slide on his finger and it is required to play "Slide" guitar. They are frequently made from beer bottle necks and it was invented by black folks down in the Mississippi Delta. They would literally drive nails into the wall of their shack, out under the porch, and wrap some wire around them and stretch them out, twist 'em, make 'em tight, and then rub on them with their pocket knife while they sang and plucked the wire. THAT sh*t needs to find it's way into "Black History Month". All the people he shouted out to were black "Bluesmen" that we white folk are still tryin' to learn to emulate (or appropriate, depending on your politics)

[@robertkwiatkoski1292]

Thing about him is he NEVER SLOWED DOWN when he played.

[@MrGrxxx123]

Muddy Waters & Sam lightning Hopkins are LEGEND!

[@michellejackson6679]

I'm a Delaware girl about 10 yrs b4 George was doing his thing at the Ston Balloon in Newark, DE... Guess what .. it's George and the Delaware Destroyers.. Truly wish I had been old enough to see him back in the day in Newark DE

[@casstelles]

Have I heard this song? Yes, many times before. This song gets better during live performances. George Thorogood (and The Destroyers) illustrate the blues during their performances. I love the album version, but I enjoy the live performances much better.

[@mizzizc3568]

Oh you like drums ey? I don’t see any Dave Grohl on your channel. Foo fighters, formerly a member of Nirvana. He’s good and he taught is little girl I believe. He sings and drums. - Lisa Cain

[@hippiejoe969]

Mentioned were blues greats, the blues are where most of all early great bands LED ZEPPELIN included got their love and passion for music from. FOR SURE CHECK OUT MR. BB KING (THE THRILL IS GONE) then we can get down and dirty from there if you're ready my friend. Much love, peace HIPPIE JOE

[@markorr999]

Those are all famous blues guitarists, and he played a lick in each one's style s George called them out. Incredible!

[@Zarcon2008]

My God man you must be fairly young because the guitarist he mentions are legends... do a Lightnin' Hopkins review you'll be glad you did.

[@casstelles]

You're asking about George's angle. He's rock with a heavy Blues angle. You can see it in his performances. Besides, I'm thirsty. Can, I have the usual - a reference to another song title of his.

[@adamwhiteman5048]

BB Kong is quite frankly the king on the blues! Muddy Waters is the outlaw of the blues, and Johnny Lee Hooker might as well be the godfather of the blues! I could name blues players for a long time but all of them and many more shaped the face of blues rock and roll and R and B
