E.L.O. - Roll Over Beethoven | REACTION

[@mandysmith1756]

"Roll Over Beethoven" is a 1956 hit single written by Chuck Berry

It would be nice to see a reaction video of Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke, Mario Lanza, Bob Marley, Otis Reading, Robert Johnson, Nat King Cole, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and other people we haven't seen yet.

Maybe by production standards and they're wonderful uses of mixing symphonic with rock and roll but as far as being a rock and roll classic Chuck Berry's version smokes this

[@Mr101827]

[@TheOnespeedbiker]

You might change your mind if you saw Chuck Berry do it live; the man had more energy than any other performer I ever saw.

[@themoviedealers]

This was the original mission statement of Electric Light Orchestra: Combine rock music with classical music influences.

[@TehFrenchy29]

@Steve Wilkins Definitely. Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven" says "move over classical, rock and roll is the new hotness" E.L.O.'s "Roll Over Beethoven" is a reminder Beethoven was a-rockin' and a-rollin' more than a century before Berry was even born. Taking the best of both styles and putting them together in a single song, and getting a "strange magic" indeed out of the result.

[@stevecraig6076]

@Steve Wilkins for me, it is the best version because of that

Anyone whoever had the opportunity to see ELO in concert knows when they played this song, the bass players with those upright basses, would run all over the stage playing them like they were a 6 string electric guitar, absolutely hysterical and yet impressive!!

Hey Jamel AKA Jamal, I really love your reactions. What comes through is that you're a really good guy. Don't let anyone ever change you. I love the way you call people and artists of all backgrounds "brother." Because we all are. So, I'll close by saying, Thank you, brother. Oh, this might interest you. ELO did a live version of this long song on (I think) on the old Mike Douglas show. I saw it on KZbin ages ago. Don't know if it's still around. But Richard Pryor was the co-host. He so loved ELO's version that he very famously let go a few words that had to be bleeped. But it was all good as he loved the performance.

The piano part around the 9 minute mark sounded like Jerry Lee Lewis. The thing about the Beatles is they took our old rock 'n' roll records, gave them a makeover and sold them back to us. Rock had died down in the early '60s so we were primed for something electrifying and along they came.

Light Orchestras were popular in the UK in the old days when the venue wasn't big enough to accommodate a full orchestra. : ELO then put electric guitars etc. into the mix. I'm not even sure that initially they had electric pick ups in the cellos and violins: I think that came about when the realized that the cellos and violins couldn't be heard on stage amongst everything else!

[@PK1971PK]

This compilation is a real masterpiece--starting out with Beethoven's Ninth, mix in the style of other kings of rock and roll from the fifties--the Little Richard "wooos" (good catch) and Jerry Lee Lewis's manic piano and throw in "Blue Suede Shoes" to reference Elvis and Carl. Around this time in the seventies there were several bands that did fifties/sixties rock and roll medleys, most based around this song and the other Chuck Berry classic, "Johnny B. Goode" (check out Uriah Heep's on their live album) but ELO's is the most creative overall. Jamel you really need to do some Chuck Berry--he put the baby rock and roll on the radio map. "Maybellene" is another great one. Jerry Lee too if you haven't already.

The original was written and recorded by Chuck Berry in 1956. It's a classic example of the rockabilly sound that Berry helped define. The Beatles were all huge Berry fans, and covered the tune in 1963. The ELO version came 10 years later, in 1973. ELO's distinctive sound was predicated on incorporating classical music elements with rock and roll, so their version of the song starts with an orchestral rendering of the opening of Beethoven's 5th symphony, and many of the interludes incorporate orchestral instruments and classically inspired chord progressions.
