Cadillac Records - Muddy Waters meets Lil' Walter

[Jaymullis13]

I don't understand why they overdubbed the scene with an electric guitar. That just killed it for me. It's not like it's that hard to record the same thing with an acoustic guitar.

[0peppers]

@Jaymullis13 Meh, movies. What're ya gonna do?

[baelsharon]

@Jaymullis13 Willie Brown said: Look at this old guitar (holds an acoustic) here you been squeakin' on. I bet you saw this thing in a music store and bought it just because you thought it was beat up! Well you got it all wrong. Muddy Waters invented electricity!

[shado802]

@Jaymullis13 It's an electric guitar, you can see the chord

[0peppers]

@shado802 Oh my god I'm so embarassed right now. You're totally right. I've seen this movie 5 times and I never noticed the power cord. I honestly thought a guitar could make that sound with the right slide. I feel kinda silly now.

[Jaymullis13]

@shado802 Haha, I see it now. I just didn't think they would have an amp outside like that, especially since the movie took place so long ago. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

ha...I guess that wink was a 50's way of saying "you just got served" XD

[IndeedItsIVE]

Love this scene

[SUNNYRHOADES9]

Where can I find this movie was it a making of the life of Muddy Waters ??

[0peppers]

@SUNNYRHOADES9 Read the title lol. It's called Cadillac Records. It wasn't just about Muddy. You're gonna like it.

[Mo33zy]

columbus short sure looks FOINE!

[sonrek25]

Does anyone know what song Muddy is playing? Or is it just improv?

[0peppers]

@sonrek25 I'm almost sure it's improv. Lots of street musicians used to do that.

[sonrek25]

@0peppers Too bad, cause the song is really awesome!

[1992daan]

@0peppers It's a song, I don't remember the name. I'll look it up for you.

[1992daan]

@1992daan I belive it's 'You gonna need my help', but I'm not sure.

[0peppers]

@1992daan Hey I just listened to this song but I couldn't identify the segment from the movie. Or maybe my ear isn't trained enough :). Nevertheless good song. Thanks for your effort.

[1992daan]

@0peppers

Oops! Sorry, wrong song. I meant The Stuff You Gotta Watch.

[0peppers]

@1992daan Haha yeah this is it. Thanks a lot man.

[1992daan]

I just love Little Walters face at the end..!

[heygirlgirl98]

Who plays lil walter in this movie?

[0peppers]

@heygirlgirl98 Lil' Walter was played by Columbus Short.

[bbnatedogg]

Muddy actually used a copper slide. I really like this movie but, they fuck up the chronology a lot to construct their story. Part of making a movie I guess.

[tinah806]

A great harp player and a great guitarist

[SwampDaddy7]

There are some things in life that just go well together. Thunder and lightning, oysters and hot sauce, and Little Walter and Muddy Waters.

[bhgangsta27]

@SwampDaddy7 lol oysters n hot sauce



[SwampDaddy7]

@bhgangsta27 haha it's good stuff.

[wisesatyr72]

[Drackorage]

They just don't make them em nowadays like they did when Muddy was around

[DeadChocobo]

for some reason i get a chill when muddy winks at walter...like, u KNOW this is love at first sight...like the first time lighting and thunder met.

[325Chuck355]

The song sounds similar to 'Stuff You Gotta Watch' by Muddy Waters and Little Walter

[SnippoX360]

whats that thing on his finger to get that guitar affect?

[0peppers]

@SnippoX360 that's a guitar slide made from a wine bottle neck; i read it can be made from any metal as well; i'm guessing different material different effect.

[SnippoX360]

@0peppers thanks:)

[airsoftbatalian]

@0peppers they slides form all different materials including bone

[0peppers]

@airsoftbatalian Yea I know. Got a friend who has one made from bone and sounds awesome:)

[gabarc2]
