Originally released for Christmas 1980 in Britain as a single, the U.S. record company … or for his one great video of “Bad to the Bone” with Bo Diddley. here in the USA was 1982?

David, might be a good time to add one of George’s songs to your suite of lessons. By the way, thanks again for those – it has really helped me enjoy my playing time.

I too feel the same way about the destroyers. Great bar/drinking band. We can’t help singing along to “Move it on over”, “Madison blues” and the famous “if you don’t start drinking, i’m gonna leave”.

IMHO its possible to drink / keep up with “I drink alone”, but “One Burbon, One Scotch, One Beer” is definitely out of reach !

Is this how we enter the contest? If so I guess I’ll say 1982?

Unless my maths has totally deserted me the year would be 1982.

Better go and prepare my acceptance speech……………………………..:)))

I love GT’s music – one of the main reasons I keep a guitar tuned to open G! And how many films has “Bad To The Bone” been featured in a film soundtrack? I can think of “Christine” and “Terminator 2″ off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are others!

It’s definitely great drinking music. Every time I hear a Thorogood song I want to turn it up real loud and be obnoxious for a while. It’s the kind of music that gives you an attitude boost!

Oh yea, I almost forgot. 1982. We did three or four of his tunes. I was in a band called the Smokindogs. Go figure! :-)

George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers are simply the best darn bar band in the world!! Just thinking about them makes me want to kick back a few beers and hit the dance floor with my best girl! :-) Brings back a few memories.
