Before You Accuse Me - Bo Diddley

[tyke471]

I allways thought Eugene McDaniels was the original artist?

[alejandrosuckmy]

@tyke471 his nickname is bo diddley

[tyke471]

@alejandrosuckmy

So Bo Diddley and Eugene are one and the same? Never knew that,but i dont take much notice of any "plugged in" artists.

[alejandrosuckmy]

@tyke471 Sorry, I did a mistake (because diddley it's McDaniels too), but Bo diddley(Ellas McDaniels) is the original

[alejandrosuckmy]

Stop fuckin the uploader, listen the song, the footage is to keep you entertained

[79goldmaster1]

this is so good, you forget it's only 3 chords.

[DebbieDoo58]

Why would somebody,play music and the put someone else on the video,just to bring attention to one's self,don't think Bo Diddley would have aproved...

[spekkyguy]

The chords for this 3-chord, 12-bar blues song are : E, A and B

[bassmangotdbluz]

@spekkyguy Since there's a capo at the 3rd fret the chords would actually be G, C & D.

"The video isn't important" - ROTFLMAO! Apparently you didn't notice that this is YouTube. It EXISTS because the video IS important. Next you'll be telling us is that it isn't important whether or not it's actually Bo Didley in the video LOL! I viewed this because I'm a beginning musician and wanted to learn how to play this song. Not gonna happen with this video. And to answer the question you spam all your critics with: I've been a prat since I started watching this video. You made me one.

[spekkyguy]

@jfan4reva

Yeh! If I was learning how to play this song, I wouldn't use this video either.

The song is just standard 3-chord 12-bar blues, by the way.

If my guitar is correctly tuned to E, then the song's chords are C#, F# and G#, if you want to play along.

However, you can put a capo on the first fret and just use C, F and G.

Regards.

What's the point of this badly cobbled-together video? If you don't have the actual video of this performance, why try to create one? Utter dreck!

[spekkyguy]

@SteveDeHaven

How long have you been a prat, Steve? The video isn't important. It's the song that matters. The video could've been a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Try uploading your own videos before spouting your nonsense on other people's videos.Get a life,man!

[SteveDeHaven]

@spekkyguy If the video isn't important, you brain-dead gastropod, why did you create one, you vile gobbet of vulture sputum?

[slainteism]

This is so fake. I agree with the other commentator. Take it down !

[Palwanzo]

@slainteism

Hey! This is such a cool video.

Quality's not that brilliant.

And it's a bit out of sync.

But, what a legendary song.

[Bluesful1]

Yes!

[2consul]

Here, they've taken the Diddley video of a different Bo Diddley song and

Put Before You Accuse Me over that video. The hands here do not match what is coming out of the speakers. This should be taken down.

[Palwanzo]

@2consul

Who cares! As long as it's 100% Clapton free.

And the original writer and the original song and the original singer's band.

[2consul]

That does NOT sound like Bo Diddley.

[pesrritox]

Great job jejeje :)

[Palwanzo]

Note that if you buy this song on iTunes, you wont get this version!

[mfhpro]

what a classic! i've heard CCR's & Clapton's version, but this one is just incredible!

[Palwanzo]

Always good to see the writer singing his own song.

Check out the Bo Diddley Shuffle at 1:48.

[spekkyguy]

And 100% Clapton-free.
