"But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day" what a classic line!

Re: George Thorogood & The Destroyers

Here's a great performance of ''The Sky Is Crying''. Georgie really lays it down on this one. Some real nice guitar playing...

Re: George Thorogood & The Destroyers

I like some of GT's songs, but overall I'm not too big a fan. One of few rock artists from the 70s that my dad just didn't like ("his music was meant for women" as he said once. I assume that Thorogood was all about making music to attract the ladies or something )

I owned a couple albums when I was younger but never really went out of my way to find any since.

Re: George Thorogood & The Destroyers

Listened to a lot of Thorogood in the late 80's/early 90's. Had most of the studio albums, but ultimately, the live album got the most play. Got to see him live in Austin back then, and they didn't disappoint.

Wonderful soundtrack for poker parties and drunken soirees. PLAY LOUD!

First tune that came into my head. Really nice interpretation of a classic blues song.

''Wanted Man''...a great Johnny Cash cover by George...

I own 2 Thorogood CD's; Bad to the Bone and The Greatest Hits.

I never got into his works that much, except the hits. Infact, the only song I can honestly think of right now is "Bad to the Bone", which was somewhat of an anthem for us hillbillies when it came out.

Magic....pick up his first two albums...you won't regret it.

It's bass ass shit.

If rockin' blues is your thing, you won't be dissapointed.

George's first two albums are blues rock classics.
