You need to check out Bo Didley for some great early rock ‘n’ roll

The black gentleman that he plays pool against is Ellas Otha Bates (Bo Diddley) who is one of the musical pioneers of rock and roll. He helped to inspire so many rock and roll bands of the 60's and 70's. The man that was watching the boxing in the next room who came over and put a bet down on the pool table is William Joseph Mosconi, one of the greatest pool players ever.

So you dont like boys in their 30’s wearing skinny jeans, a hello kitty backpack, and tells you their pronouns?

Bo Diddley is a legend. He was one of the earliest Rock 'N Roll artists, starting in the mid 50s, was massively influential, and has his own beat - "the Bo Diddley beat" - a syncopated beat that you will surely be familiar with. He is perhaps best known for his songs "Who Do You Love?", "Bo Diddley," and "Say Man." Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, and the Rolling Stones are among the many bands who site him as an influence, and if it's not obvious, he was a huge influence to George Thorogood, who covered several of his songs.

Hey was an amazing pool player. My dad used to watch him. Love it! Thanks for visiting this BP. I got to revisit it!! ❤

FYI the old rich guy is none other than Willie Mosconi, a world class pool player. He was pretty famous in his day.

I love that George Thorogood was vocal about the greats who inspired him. He got to play on stage with Bo Diddley and got Bo in his video. He sang Bo’s Who Do You Love with the line about “play that rock and roll music with the Bo Diddly beat.” The late 70s early 80s saw a lot of widespread recognition and main stream music recognition of Bo Diddly, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Son House, BB King, Chuck Berry and so many more. some of the great American blues and rock icons were nearing the end of their lives and careers and it was important some got long overdue recognition from a music industry and fan base that owed so much of its soul to their unique gifts.

The old "rich guy" is Willie Mosconi playing the "Stake horse". During the heyday of pool hustlers, he and Minnesota Fats were the kings. That was when you could only eke out a living at legitimate tournaments but make a fortune in backroom games. "The Hustler" starring Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson is a great movie about these times. Newman reprises the role in "The Color of Money".

One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer. George and the Delaware Destroyers. Let's go!

George Thorogood played in Dallas, TX at The Bomb Factory not too long after Stevie Ray Vaughan passed away. I was delivering propane there and went to see the owner about signing my invoice when Thorogood's tour bus pulled up. I did the best I could to wait without going fanboy while the club owner and George were shaking hands and talking. Suddenly, George Thorogood asks me directly if I was coming to that night's show? Sheepishly, I told him I couldn't because I didn't have tickets. He asked my name, then told the owner to make sure I had 6 tickets waiting for me and my friends and a table near the stage!!&! Then he asked if I liked SRV? And if I thought it might be too soon to do a tribute? A bit stunned, I assured him that I LOVE SRV and, yes, absolutely do the tribute, because this is Dallas, TX and everyone loves SRV!!&! At the show, our table was center-right in front of the stage, the drinks were FREE all night, he told the crowd that if they didn't like the SRV tribute, that it was my fault and he pointed right me, and put on a hat that Stevie Ray had given him and he absotively hit it out of the park!!&! Best night of music I ever got to be a part of!!&! 😊

Super happy for you, my friend. I know that was one helluva great night.

Ps. He married in 1985 and was with her until.her untimely death from ovarian cancer in 2019. (Marla, whom he had 1 daughter with). In the 70's he played semi-pro baseball as a second baseman for a team in Delaware. In 76' he earned rookie of the year in the Roberto Clemente league.

This song was my son's favorite when he was around 2. He would run around the house in his underwear, playing air guitar singing "I'm bad to the bone, daddy." I think his dad and I realized back then that we had a rock-'n'-roll-er on our hands. He's 40yrs old now and a musician and sound engineer. He knew what he wanted at age 2!!

Yes!!! Another one I can cross off my list! 😁 Love George Thorogood! He has so many great songs and he's an amazing story teller! I drink alone, Move it on over, One bourbon one scotch one beer, Madison blues, Who do you love....The list goes on and on!!

You know who that black guy is with the guitar? A legend.

Over 30 years ago I was a test driver at the GM desert proving grounds in Arizona. They laid off most of the drivers during the winter since we did more hot weather testing, but early one spring i got a call asking if I'd like to drive 3rd shift that night. I was in classes and had an exam first thing the next morning, but they said it would be fine if I cut out a little early to make it to school. I get to work and they handed me the clipboard for the prototype Corvette. Not only that, but the second test it was due for was the high speed test, done on their banked 5 mile circle track. The Corvette was fitted with a decent Bose sound system and right as I was going up to 100 mph, this song came on. I'm sitting there cruising at 100 at midnight and I have Bad to the Bone at full blast on the Bose and thinking..."I'm getting paid for this!"

This song holds a special place in my memories and heart. It was spring of 93, and my twin boys who would soon be 2 y/o (they were born on the 4th of July, so happy Bday boys) first heard this song. When the opening guitar rift started, my boys stood by my stearo speakers and danced for the first time, bending their knees and nodding their heads to the beat of the music. Ever since then, every time I hear it, I get a big smile on my face... 🤙

I’ve seen Thorogood twice in concert. My brother and my awesome stepdad the first time had such a good time that friends bought tickets for all of us when he came back a decade later. He was great. The second time he would stand at the edge of the stage with his arms wide, looking for praise. And he did that a few times. He’s a performer, for sure.

We used to say two things about George being bad to the bone. He's thorough and Good.

The song "Bad to the Bone" (made famous to non- George Thorogood fans played at the begining of the Steven King horror classic movie, Christine" is based on Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy". As mentioned Bo Diddly, has a cameo it the video, who wrote and performed another famous George Thorogood cover, "Who Do You Love?"

Another 80s classic

Saw George with ZZ Top back in the 80s and it was one helluva a show! This Is George Thorogood's sound. Every song is awesome.

saw george in '85, senior in h.s... have never seen so many bras and panties hit the stage, epic band!

Have to check out One bourbon one scotch one beer and who do you love

I saw George Thorogood & The Destroyers in Odessa, TX and in SLC, UT (Front Row and center)! "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" is a must listen from them

George Thorogood was amazing to see live! Amazing energy and stage performance. Definitely was next level!

More George!

Classic tune from 3 chord George, also need to listen to One Bourbon, One Scotch and One beer. Cameo appearances from Bo Diddley and many time pool champ Willie Masconi. (oldGuy with the cash and young girl)

The guy he's playing against is a rock & roll legend named Bo Diddley, and the old mob boss is Billiards Legend and World Champ Willie Marsconi. I met Bo Diddley back in 88, I think, and he gave me V.I.P. access to the concert he was in town to do.

I saw him at a concert in his senior years -- still wearing those shoes and still giving off the vibe. The two super fans (late middle-aged females, as was I at the time) wearing their tank tops that I'm sure came from an original concert in that era, seated in front of us were now standing and got into a shouting/pushing match because they both wanted to be closer. Omg in tears. Still Bad to the Bone!

George Thorogood does not have a bad song in his repertoire. This song came out when I was in middle school; I STILL love it.

Totally forgot about Bo Diddley. Dude is a legend

George is one of my favorite musicians!!! He has tons of great tunes!! He also still tours. I believe his daughter plays in his band now. She's a great guitarist too.

To paraphrase “it’s got a great beat you can run to” it also works as a call/ response Airborne Jody.

He does a great Cover of Hank Williams Sr. Move it on Over.

I Drink Alone and One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer is worthy of a listen!

Homage to Bo Diddley in the form of not only the appearance in the video, but the actual drum beat is called the "Bo Diddley Beat."

George, his band, and his crew were absolute badasses! In 1981 they did the 50/50 tour and performed 50 shows in 50 states... IN 50 DAYS! You've toured... just try to imagine pulling that off.

It's nice yo see Bo Diddley but the real legend in the video is Willie Mosconi. That man could shoot some pool.

Shooting pool with bo diddly

His "ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER" is a classic, also.

***** OhMyGreat! AND BO DIDDLEY? ? WOW! He was an Important Guitarist who Transitioned the Blues into Rock and Roll.

One Bourbon, One Whiskey, One Beer , I Drink Alone are just a few songs by George Thorogood.

I’m 70 and I fell in love with this song when I first heard it , I think in the movie “ Christine “ based on the book by Stephen King . Love all his music. This was the 80’s 😊

I had the coolest mom on earth back in the day! She'd buy me the latest "albums" all the time for no reason at all. I had a library of music that was the envy of my friends, lol. This is one of those albums.

You got to deep dive George T. I was lucky enough to see him in a small venue. I will never forget it! Best show ever.....

Who Do You Love, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer are two of his best! He's also fantastic live!!! Great fun watching these songs in person!

George Thorogood has a great live video of One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer with Elvin Bishop joining in. ❤❤❤

That is Bo Diddly playing pool with him, and that is Willie Mosconi being led in by the Hottie. Two awesome cameo appearances!

The man shooting pool with George Thorogood is none other than rock legend Bo Diddley, who was a big inspiration for George. When he opens his guitar case, the picture inside is Bo Diddley as a young man

George and the Band. Never missed a concert with him or Dwight Yoakam since the 1980s when they arrived out West. George danced his heart out in the early days. George said he's going on the road soon.

Saw George and The Destroyers in '82 at Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam. During his solo he jumped off the stage and kept on playing as he went backstage and came back on stage on the other side. Also saw Stevie Ray Vaughn in '84 at the Volunteer Jam. It was the 1st time he had played in Nashville.

I’ve seen him multiple times in concert, mostly in smaller venues back in the 80’s. He puts on a great show.

I saw George Thorogood and the Destroyers. They opened for The Pretenders...who then opened for U2. It was at the Oakland Coliseum. U2 opened with: 'Where The Streets Have No Name'...The Bass was phenomenal.

The older gentleman that put down the money was Willie Mosconi as truely great player from the 1960's. His most famous opponent was playing Minnesota Fats

Saw him in concert in the 80’s and it was a blast. Love your reactions.

Had the honor of seeing George a few times in concert in Halifax NS in the 80's...came out for the encore and wouldn't stop playing ...they had to shut the power down!

He is amazing in concert. I’ve seen him like nine times. I got tickets to go see him in August. actually met him backstage once he plays the best blues rock out there. He’s an amazing slide guitar player you go to his concert. He only plays for like an hour and a half plays 15 to 18 songs no ballads all ball through the wall rock songs.😊

#HOG in the house. First off congrats and how is the wife and family? Next, I had the pleasure and honor to see George in the band in 82 or 83, being front band for the Rolling Stones in Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ. They kicked the Stones ass, and the sax player was outta this world. George has several other notable songs, I DRINK ALONE, ONE WHISKEY, ONE BOURBON AND 1 BEER and several others. He is an American Indian and a great musician and performer.

I drink alone, one bourbon one scotch one beer, move it on over, and who do you love are probably his most popular ones after this song.

First off, this video and song came out in 1982. The black guy with the rectangle shaped guitar is blues legend Bo Didley, who is one of George's guitar playing influences. George has had several other hits including "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", "Who Do You Love", "Move It On Over", "You Talk Too Much", "Get A Haircut", "If You Don't Stop Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)", and my personal favorite "I Drink Alone."

Met Bo Diddley once in Miami in the late 80's when he was hanging out with Ron Wood. Shook his hand and told him was a great inspiration to me. A real nice guy who enjoyed a little chit chat. Ron Wood mixed the drinks as we chatted in his club he had at the time on Miami Beach, "Woody's On The Beach"

Bo Diddley, one of Georges big influences --- Willie Mosconi, widely considered one of the greatest pool players of all time. Great video to go along with a great song.

Saw Bo Diddley live in Fort Worth … after seeing Chuck Berry in the same venue! Memorable shows!!

This is absolutely the best ❤ an absolute staple of rock and roll you need to do more❤

I was just stepping on here to let you know that that was the legendary Bo Diddley and I’m glad that others have acknowledged that. Because you go back in time and great guitars and I’ll tell you something Bo Diddley was definitely bad at the bone. George Thorogood brought Bo onto this video to pay homage to him from one great guitarist to another !!! Glad you are learning about greatness young man. Black Pegasus all the way. !!

For me, the meaning of the music video is that Bo Diddley was getting older and looking to retire. This video was a "passing of the torch" from the old to the new when it comes to boogie boogie blues.

Dude I met George back in the early 80s when I played in a band. He was down to to earth and funny . Gave me great advice about the music business. I took it and did wanted to Reallly wanted to do.... serve my Contry

I got to see them in concert in Corpus Christi around 1990. Fantastic show!

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer (live at The Capitol Theatre 1984) i think it is)....and I Drink Alone are a must and you will love the lyrics!!✌️💞
