Muddy Waters - You Shook Me

[charlieroy911]

this music gets right in to my gut and feels like a rock

[vCRoNiqulz]

THANK GOD! finally i found a channel with some blues i am doing a black history month project on famous black blues musicians and this is epic

[munkdo4]

while we're at it.

this song is good, and has a nice authentic feel to it

but i think led zeppelin really added something with that insane screaming guitar intro,

their you shook me first bar is a beast

[MrFuckyouintheneck]

@munkdo4 you shouldn't even be mentioning that here, Zeppelin got sued for that shit and nothing can beat the original.

[munkdo4]

click on muddy waters song..

scroll down...

see comment talking about led zeppelin

aaaah... im home

[masterofshreding]

i prefer Led Zeppelin's version and you can't really compare AC/DC cuz theirs is completely different and they changed almost all the lyrics

[daxeboy9]

Damn somebody plucking that guitar!

[anton7609]

this is technically electric blues

[darkhorse008]

electric blues



[johnp0729]

This and AC/DC's version are completely different, and I'm not just talking about how it sounds. I'm talking about what they're about. AC/DC's version is about fucking a girl. Muddy Waters' version is about an fucking another girl when you're already married.

[daxeboy9]

@johnp0729 YES , i'm glad somebody figured that 1 out! Muddy was ambiguous 'cause he had to be, nowadays you can just sing "I fucked another woman while my wife was home in bed .."and it'll be a hit!

[FelicienPillot]

Le vénérable ancêtre...

[ogloccness]

@johnp0729

Obviously, AC/DC referenced this song

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@johnp0729 dude, its a euphemism about having sex DUH.

[jnotheman]

OHH WHU!

[kevindlinc]

Try this song as a karaoke tune that's essentially what Muddy did here. Earl Hooker recorded this as an instrumental Muddy Put vocals overtop about a year after Earl recorded it.The instrumental is called ''Blue Guitar'' slide in standard tuning for you guitar players and for you singers you can sing over ''Blue Guitar'' sans Muddy.

[AimNFireProductions]

@ElectricBlueCitrus Led zeppelin did a version of this song

[stealyourface73]

Happy Birthday Muddy!!!

[eddythefan]

"Sometime i wonder what my poor wife and child gonna do

You know you made me mistreat them darling"

[Alithecomedian]

who gives a shit if someone stole it everyone steals from everyone. the government steals from you every second you dont argue about that now do you? bunch of hypocrites.

[spyguys]

Jeff Beck's version of "You Shook Me" on his 1968 album "Truth" was much closer to Muddy's than was Zeppelin's. He even did the many of the guitar licks the same. Beck's album was released about a year before Zeppelin's. I love the feel sound of this recording by the great Muddy Waters.

[Stinger1879]

@spyguys well yeah but the point of a cover is to make it your own.

[spyguys]

@Stinger1879 It depends. Some songs have such an iconic identity that you play them as they were written and or recorded. Beck just played the licks similar to the recording, the rest of the arrangement was different. Zeppelin certainly did make the song their own with the version they did. Their version reflects the change in music going on at the time. There was a blues influence but also the beginnings of a much heavier sound mixed with a bit of the psychedelic / acid rock sound of that era.

[beowulf3075]

This is the real Mccoy. Just listen to it, nothing missing, it's all there....

[zacko6700911]

Šokiraš me majkemi !!!!! uffffff preeeedobro

[Fe04Fe041977]

why is everyone comparing led zepplin to these old blues greats. of cours their versins sound alot better. but no one can deny the fact of who and waht type of music inspired their style and taste in music

[Odin029]

@Fe04Fe041977 Sounds better? To me their cover of this song is one of the few that actually pales to the original in all respects. Page is legendary, but Earl Hooker might have been the cleanest clearest slide player of all time. Plus the Zep tune drags a bit. Robert Plant is probably the best rock front man of all time, but there aren't many people who can stand toe to toe with Muddy Waters' vocal on a blues track. His voice is so big and resonant that everybody else sounds like a kid.

[ThomasDeLello]

The great... Earl Hooker...! on the guitar... Piss on Lead Zepplin.

[theprimeform]

@ThomasDeLello Led Zeppelin. and no ;D

[deckham]

@ThomasDeLello how dare you say such awful words!

[codehendrix]

This is exactly what Hendrix first listened to...... funky blues....

[FreddyGuy925]

What the fuck? This song needs way more views!!!

[willwelsh816]

screw ACDC, this is how your suposed to play this song.

[TickTockTorrez]

@willwelsh816 ACDC's song Shook Me All Night Long is not the same as this one. Led Zeppelin did a cover of it, which was actually really good and amazing. (Of course, I mean c'mon it's Zeppelin.)

[NeverAloneForever]

@TickTockTorrez And a credited one at that. I love there their arrangement of it too. Just not as much as this . . . but still good.

[Kynatics]

@TickTockTorrez Yeah, Zeppelin's version is superb; complete with electric piano, harmonica, and guitar solos, as well as Plant's phenomenal vocals, of course.

[beowulf3075]

Thinking about it, "You need love" is on same EP, that's a damn fine track as well.

[beowulf3075]

Muddy with the Earl Hooker band, have this on an EP, easiest best track, stirring stuff. Irreplaceable.

[rizled94]

this make me proud to be american! nothing beats american blues, the root to everything now. happy 4th of july to everybody!

[Geiweo77]

i didnt knew it.. when i was a young boy, i heard muddy. I think i had a sence 4 black music... from muddy to RAP and now back to Muddy. really nice blues. R.I.P.

[hapzap13]

" OH YEAH "

[balltuss2]

[lowii237]

awesome song and singer man I love moddy waters. Why did all of the great blues artist have to die before my time.

[ekstaasikontiainen]

@lowii237 BB. King is still alive. ;)

[Alithecomedian]

@lowii237 lol why would it matter its a shame they dead and gone now but the music lives on even if there were alive they wouldent be doing much lol would be hard for you to meet them or associate yourself just be happy the music is here and what it once was :D

[bluesoulady]

@lowii237 i feel like that, but at least we can hear them still and follow on.....

[jawneeshow101]

@lowii237 muddy did not die before his time, he lived to a rip old age...

[happylarry]

@jawneeshow101 I think he meant before HIS time. Before he got to experience the blues artists for himself

[trinamariec]

[longlongs3xs3x]

best of the best!!!

[mangomoch4]
