this really rocks
He owes a lot to Chuck Berry. Sounds like a beefed up version of Johnny B Goode But it's OK
Rockin'!!!

I saw him last summer in Wasaga Beach, Ontario, Canada in a bar with maybe 500 people in it. It was an outstanding show. Everybody rocked out to it and he played for hours. Made me a fan all over again.
Good to hear. I saw him years ago in a college "ballroom"--a huge flat-floored low-ceilinged room packed to the gills with people rockin' out and dancing. Way cool.

Punk was supposed to be the grand escape from the baroque grandiosity that rock had turned into in the mid 70s. But I was behind the curve, glued to the virtuosity and imaginations of Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd and all for a few more years. When it was my time to break free from the build up of pretensions and get back to the raw basics, It was Thorogood that was my ride out. And only after that ride did I understand and appreciate "punk" and all that came out of it. It also led me to the true blues artists George was trying to channel. He may not have been the real thing, but he was a gateway. And he may only have one trick in his bag, but it is a good one, and one I will always be grateful for.
Well put.

I remember listening to George Thorogood in an interview once. He was pretty self-depricating of his music describing it as simplistic 4 chord rifts. He found it amazing that people liked it as much as they did. As one poster noted below though, he seems like he has fun playing the guitar and he definitely can get his fingers moving. I've always enjoyed listening to it!
