Boom Boom-Yardbirds (Clapton)

[mikem1549]

the blues was the domain of socially, econimically and educationally deprived colored ethnic minorities in the US,it has now been hijacked by UK middleclass whites making it a pathetic pastiche

I think they just went more pop with it. They could have played it more authentic if they would have.

[divagurl80]

I love it thanks for sharing:)



[draisens]

odd, isn't? A Yardbirds song with a Beatles picture at 0:23?

In my opinion it's the uploader's mistake.

Is it?

[killakaddy92]

houd van dit musik! het houdt me gelukkig--de hele tijd;)

[mikexlong]

the playing is good but the singing souunds like choir boys. John's original is just so badass it can't be fucked with.

[HSECMAN]

@mikexlong couldnt agree with you more

[HSECMAN]

@mikexlong couldnt agree with you more. us white guys just cant seem to get that same groove

[DonBugatti]

BANG BANG BANG! VAMANOS VAMANOS!

[XStanMarshX]

@DonBugatti wrong song, isn´t it? ;) isn´t that the song from left 4 dead 2 ähmmm clutch - electric worry i think... ^.^

[shanehenning26]

JLH's original is better IMO. The foot tapping and all, it's so raw it rocks.

[bobbydylanio]

Better than John Lee Hooker for me.

[huwfylt]

this was the first song by the yardbirds I ever heard (even though it's not their song)

It blew my mind, I had never heard the blues before, just cheap pop crap like avril levine (yuck)

[R0b1zzle137]

The yardbirds were groovy, but this doesn't give you the same type of feeling that John Lee Hooker does.

[brotherbuttcrack]

for some reason i love the version from the blues bro movie the best

[stringslayer]

No-one can touch john lee hookers original.

[desowell]

this does touch it, the mad harmonica skills

[polymath7]

@stringslayer True enough. John Lee Hooker is the fucking MAN; but this good in its right.

[madtiger111]

@stringslayer

Got dat right!

[JustJake57]

@stringslayer and if it wasn't for the Brits - Yardbirds, Fleetwood Mac, Savoy Brown resurrecting this stuff almost 40 years ago, you probably wouldn't know John Lee, Muddy, Sonny Boy, Elmore et al. Give them their due

[paullubliner]

@JustJake57: Ooooh, nasty --but an accurate statement!

[elianetb]

aaaaaaaalll righttttttt!!!!

[econoroller]

Nice version....

cool photos in the vid, too

Keith Pronounces the lyrics way better than John Lee Hooker!

Thanks for posting another good one! ;)

[snifferenator]

I don't think pronunciation was a priority for Blues legend John Lee Hooker

[econoroller]

That wasn't meant to knock JLH..... :)

Yardbirds are blues legends, too

I love them all
