Am I the only one NOT bothered by who clicked "dislike"? Heh....
Anyway, I just... realized this wasn't a Thorogood original... somethin' tells me I'm not the only one. He reeeeally changed the lyrics, didn't he? I heard both songs, they don't match, by a long shot. Still, I prefer Thorogood, hands down.
I wish they would blend, mix, what ever its called, but show Hank and George playing this song together, like they were on the same stage at the same time. That would be cool.
@ROCKSTARCRANE It's pretty unsophisticated stuff certainly. But Thorogood's playing is all about setting a groove, gettin' down and boogie-ing. For a guitarist who wants to play slide it's an excellent starting point.
@MrMurphy1514 Indeed! He's a sorry sight these days but can still play some mean slide. Back when he was healthy I loved the way he'd get carried away by the playing and almost forget that he had some vocals to do. I can't imagine George Thorogood doing anything like that although I would love to see/hear it.
Legend. White guys can be blues legends too. He respects his roots, but he's made his own sound. You would never mistake a Lonesome George song for Elmore James or Chuck Berry, because he's made his own sound. That's one of the reasons he's a legend. He just played at my home town on the weekend (Adelaide Australia) and I couldn't get there. Dang. Come back George. I'm sorry!
Kick ass tune! ive just started a new classic acoustic rock band called STILL WHISKY because im sick of the state of so-called "popular music" these days! we aim to take the band far but without the support of people who still believe in old school rock'n'roll we cant do it, ROCK MUST LIVE ON! check us out on youtube, got a few original songs up now and a cover of Bob Seger's Turn the Page coming soon, all your feedback and comments would be greatly appreciated!
@themosmitsos the answer to that question my friend is yes, so much so i forgot left that post, still no excuse, p.s. i wish someone would fuck something with mine, i grant you full use, peace mon bruv
His Amp set up was TOTALLY unique to this show only, his guitar sounds like a mad runaway CHAINSAW ! This was the ONLY concert he had this setup, it was never duplicated after this show !!!!!!
Blues wouldn't be blues without blacks or whites... it is what it is because of both and thanks to guys like you the guys like me have to face distrust from the guys of "other color"
i disagree. Both of those whites were inspired by the blacks. Blues is originally a black thing when white guys first started playing it they called it rock n roll.
well, you had to see him live in Santa Cruz about 1980 at the Catalyst to enjoy a fun, rocking show. Its not about what you think now, its about what is was then and continues to be for his fans today.
Some very talented "blues" people cannot draw an audience...bur George never had a problem
Yea but this was the ONLY show that he had this type of guitar raw power distortion from his Amps ! He NEVER used this setup ever after this one show !
Hard to believe no none wanted to sign him when he first started out. I bet there are a bunch of record companys kicken their selves in the ass about now Rock on George.
man, what could be better than george for drinking music? his voice is as rough and gravelly as i feel when i wake up in the gutter after a nice binge!
i do love this version. Hank Williams' original version was so countrified it didnt have the rock n roll appeal this version has. Although it was still great, and Hank Jr. rocks it out too
In case any one is interested George Thorogood and the Destroyers were one of the last acts performed on Dick Clark's American Bandstand! along way from Philadelphia where Dick Clark originally started American Bandstand!
Those were the good old days. They are gone,and fortunately they will come back only in the minds and songs of us rock'nroll lovers. It only proves one thing. every where i go,they still play old time rock'nroll music and songs like George Thorogood that are tied exactly into that music. walter c.
Since you're not coming back to Tulsa (don't blame you) I'm saving my nickels and dimes to fly out and see another concert. Best therapy on the planet!!
You should see the one he does with Travis Tritt (Move it on over)...You see George work the slide well o that one blew me away...Oh yeah by the way it looks easier than to play slide on open G tuning...
He's the king of the electric slide guitar, you fermented pile of incandescent congenial lemming rot. How DARE you say he isn't good? Second only to Johnny Winter. And no we aren't including acoustic slide players in this debate.
it's supposed to sound sloppy and easy. they're not known as "the world's greatest bar band" for no reason. i mean seriously, think about it: how stupid would it sound to sing about drinking, drinking, drinking, old lady troubles, and other life troubles while playing with a perfectly steady hand and not getting wild with it?
*shrugs* i still think he just ripped off John Lee Hooker, in style and a few songs, and distorted it. as a white fellow he got more publicity for the good old blues songs, but i do admit, i like his voice.

Saw him as opening act for the Rolling Stones in the mid 80's outdoors.
He was very, very loud, people were covering their ears and he kept playing the same open tuning bottle neck slide.
He was good and had a great band and the Stones took more than an hour to get the sound right.
I think George didn't get the chance for a sound check because the Stones were much easier on the ears, but that's rock and roll.
