Rick Derringer - Real American (Full Version)

[alisilvinho]

is not upside down, ricks is a left handed

[bullrose5]

Everything about this song speaks of standing up to evil, when no one else will stand up to wickedness, one person stands up for good. :)

[UnpredictableJRodz]

I actually met Rick in New Haven, CT. back in the 90's in the hotel elevator. He saw my name tag and said "hello." Don't think he'd remember, though. Yeah--I can see it now, 20 years later: "Hey, Rick! I met you in an elevator back in '96 and you said hi to me...do you remember that?" And he says: "Oh, that was you? Sure...I remember!" Yeah, right! LOL.

[TheBeaterOfWife]

YOU STILL GOT IT RICK BROTHER!

[DanielWilliamClark]

Really cool, Rick & co.! I just ordered your "Rockin' American" CD from your site by the way!

I really like the new lyric you added at the end. There's one part of it I couldn't make out though:

"Ours is a cause that's right and just, (what do you say here?) in God we trust".

[WildmanWoodie]

@DanielWilliamClark I think the line is ""Ours is a cause that's right and just, built on truth, in God we trust."

[YePlopofPlop]

WHUTCHA GONNA DO!!! WHEN RICK DERRINGER MIMING, RUNS WILD ON YOU!!!

[azzykay316]

i have just realised this performance is mimed, or at least the drums are anyway. why?!

[defaultdotxbe]

@azzykay316 they recorded the audio and video separately, like any music video (this obviously isnt supposed to be a live concert video)

[Sage80]

Amazing song!

[MisterAwesomeness007]

This performance is absolutely PERFECT...It's even better than the original studio version, the harmonies and Rick's voice, the guitar, bass, keyboard...

Gave me chills for four unreal minutes and remembered me why I was born a frickin HULKAMANIAC and will die a HULKAMANIAC , BROTHER !

[bohammed08]

did any1 notice that ricks guitar is upside down?

[kimv020887]

@bohammed08 yep. 

[therickderringer]

@bohammed08 My guitar is right. Charlie Torres plays his bass upside down and backward. Check out all our videos, concerts, and Website. Keep on Rockin'.

Rick

[defaultdotxbe]

@therickderringer the headstock is upside down from a normal guitar, but i know the bc rich warlocks with the asymmetrical headstock were also upside down from normal.

and nothing wrong with playing a guitar upside down and backwards, worked pretty well for hendrix :)

[gb6710]

@therickderringer How did you come up with the idea for the song?

[NAGANUGE]

This song is suppose to be what America is about. It's what we're suppose to do. Fight for freedom of all people. Fight for liberty and justice. Sadly that message has been lost. It's not about the American way. It's about the human way of giving people dignity and showing them compassion no matter who you are.

[kimv020887]

@NAGANUGE The message is still there, NAGANUGE. It's NOT just the human way, dude. REPLY BACK.

[sahilhussain619]

I don't like to be a American and never thought of becoming

.But when I listen to this song it just makes me sing along .And make me proud and I get a feeling what it's like to be american.

[Maxamedinho]

hahahah fight for what's right ahahhahahhaahhahhhahhahahahhah­ahhhaaa

[TheVovano]

настоящие американцы-индейцы. не надо забывать.

[91joelt]

Windham and Rotundo were the first ones to use this song. Hulk Hogan made this popular.

[13kavak13]

I am not sure if anyone ever really got this song it actually has a political message, and a very good one at that. I dont think it was intended to be taken as a joke because it became hogans theme song.

[KJD33]

I guess one person isn't a Real American

[prem73]

Hulk Hogan's entrance theme made this song more glamorous.

[MESHARY707]

وم الحياه الدنيا الى لعب ولهو

[MESHARY707]

ههههه ياحمير اسامه بن لادن خلاكم ترتجفونن سنين من الخوف يابقر هه

[peacebrother69]

I love this version but it isn't live. The drummer doesn't know the song! He doesn't attempt to play the high hat licks you heard during the verses and at the end he is playing the ride symbol when you hear the high hat during the song. Still a nice version though.

[jdolaktv]

WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MEAN GENE! REAL AMERICAN > MY TIME IS NOW, BROTHER!

[OniTenchi84]

@thegame24 Um, people get older. You telling me Metallica has had different singers over the years?

[Btyson2121]

HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN! How does it feel knowing you guys are the theme to one of the most popular pieces of pop culture history?
