George makes that guitar speak things that not many can or ever will

No ones version of this song is the best or better than anyone else just what you prefer this is the one for me

This is the best version. Long live Lonesome George.

Fantastic

Excellent

Love George

God lives, nothing better than a driving sound. Man this is honey for the soul, can't stop my body from moving. Got to stop smoking this shit.

Love Thorogoods version of this classic. It's got to be my favourite.

Oh man, If I could have the wish granted to be able to play the guitar the way of any of my favorite artists, It Would Be- GEORGE THOROGOOD!!!

The Sky is Crying...............always been a cool song

If you actually play slide, and set your sound up like this, it sings in your bones, your heart, your soul. Old George knows what he's doing well enough.

💘

Always love his stuff. He's under rated. People are always about Clapton ( who is good) but 'ole George is great.

Man how can you not like this stuff?

The first show I ever saw in my life was The Destroyers at Boutwell Auditorium in B'ham, AL. Jan.24 1985.

Fantastic!

👏👏👏👏👏

Oh man I must have heard this a squilion tims but it still rocks me every time only other song that does this is let there be rock ac/dc

George is a guitar virtuoso & he says he's nothing special OMG...such a gorgeous, humble human being. George epitomises the American sound - a mixture of rhthym & blues, jazz, rock 'n roll, boogie woogie. Sexy as a hot corndog on a stick and when he plays that guitar & sings...you can FEEL the spirit of America just coming through. I'm Australian but have loved his music since I first heard it. I'm a country music singer but II love all the same old music that influenced George. Somehow he's picked out the very best sounds of American music & rolled it all up into one and then has come out with his own unique sound. That is musical genius ;-) People who appreciate GOOD music LOVE George. He's worked so hard to get where he has - I take my hat off to him....he is without a doubt, one of the world's very best...

I love George Thorogoods version of this song...better than ANYONE! !! It's raw and AWESOME! ! GO GEORGE 👍

And god said let there be rock!

Stellar!

the saw the rolling stones magazine 100 greatest guitarist george didn,t make the list they need to do that list again

Thanks for sharing - outstanding!

It was awesome, btw!

I dig it.

I like his early sound; raw & kick arse slide guitar (no brass section).

thx dgoodfelo

fanbloodytastic chill time

Brass Kicks Ass!!

Genial...

Definitely agree with steverino47 on this. SRV the greatest (behind Hendrix, of course) of all time, but Thorogood rocks this one out better.

a different take, but I love it, the brass makes a refreshing change from the threat of lead guitar entering the realms of wah wah wank world. (don't get me wrong, I LOVE GUITAR!!!!)

Elmore James song not Robert Johnson

FFS does it get any better ???

And so what??? There's a lot of people that loves this song, with or without brass!! why should I ask B.B. KING? The most important is to like a song or not!!

Neil peart on drums lol 00:53

I love the song, he's my guy for sure. And love the video but I hate the camera person. Omg, seriously, focusing on the slide?? c'mon man

done5167 lol you are right........

Is it me? Or does it seem like he was on something?

Sorry but there's lots of room for Brass in the blues, just ask B.B. KIng

"CAnt stand all that brass shit. Wish he'd stick to the dirty 3 piece" Interesting comment indeed !! But just try to do it yourself LOL.......greaserleo

SRV is the greatest electric guitarist ever, IMO. But Stevie's recording of "The Sky is Crying" is NOT one of his best. It was teen released during his lifetime...Stevie would have re-recorded it first. Always preferred Thorogoods version.

The late great Aussie Billy Thorpe does a better version.Bill was the greatest R and R singer ever.And a very good Guitarist

He's no Stevie Ray Vaughn. Good try though.
