This genre is blues/rock, a combination of blues and rock that has a gritty sound. Right to the soul.

"If You Don't Start Drinking, I'm Gonna Leave" is another one of his drinking songs!

When George sings the line, "My Family Done Give Up On Me And It Makes Me Feel Oh So Bad, The Only One Who'll Hang out With Me Is My Dear Old Granddad" I genuinely thought that he was talking about his Grandfather, I had no clue that "Old Granddad" was a Brand of liquor

“Who do you love” is a must. It’s not really a drinking song, but definitely badass!

The perfect companion song to "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer" and "Bad To The Bone". George Thorogood has no hidden agenda, it's just "Let's Party!"

George Lawrence Thorogood (born February 24, 1950) is an American musician, singer and songwriter from Wilmington, Delaware.[1] His "high-energy boogie-blues" sound became a staple of 1980s rock radio, with hits like his original songs "Bad to the Bone" and "I Drink Alone".[2] He has also helped to popularize older songs by American icons, such as "Move It on Over", "Who Do You Love?", and "House Rent Blues/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer".[3] With his band, the Delaware Destroyers, Thorogood has released over 20 albums, of which two have been certified Platinum and six have been certified Gold. He has sold 15 million albums worldwide. Thorogood and band continue to tour extensively, and in 2014 the band celebrated their 40th anniversary of performing.

The type of music for this - pure, unadulterated, blues-based rock and roll. Seen Lonesome George several times. Don't need lasers or video screens, just pure music.

The genre is Blues , George owes everything to old school blues artists most of which were african americans, he took the torch and ran with it just like many many artists.

In this episode of Brad & Lex, "the Bad To The Bone guy" graces the spaces again. This time Mr Thorogood brings the spirits along with him. The bluesy chord progressions and George's innate grittiness makes impossible for the couch couple not to get involved. Brad provides a smooth "side to side sway" while vocalizing actual cravings as Lex indulges in a less gentle sonic drink doing a "shot bop".

His "Who Do You Love" and "Move It On Over" are next for you!! He has one song that's mostly a sax solo "Kids From Philly". 🎶Just me and my pal Johnny Walker And his brothers Black and Red 🎵

4:58 Whoever did the video/lyrics missed this part - "Old Grand-Dad" is a brand of bourbon in this case, not a person.

Now you gotta do "Who do you Love" which actually might be his best song. His version of that song is definitely bad to the bone.

George's specialty is drinking songs. Give "If You Don't Start Drinkin', I'm Gonna Leave" a listen

"You Talk Too Much" is probably the ulimate "this relationship is about to end *_IN FIRE_* " song.

I seen George 4 times and after the concerts my friends and I would drink the whole bar up. Rock on Brad & Lex

He was a roadie for Hound Dog Taylor. Born into the blues

I've seen him several times in concert. It's always a great time !

Had a band that used to play a bar I worked in that sang this as "I drink cologne".

"Rocking' Rhythm and Blues" Is the genre.

Saw George a few years ago and he was awesome. Love George. I bought the T- shirt that says I drink Alone. Some of his songs are old Blues songs but he loves the blues and that is what this is. When I saw him, he just turned? 70 But he was on fire.

He's actually a straight edge.... Completely sober guy

So glad to see you like George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Gritty band with a gritty singer.

“Ablee, ablee, ablee, what are you laughing at?” 😆

PARTY STARTER...Ugh, Belushi turnin up that bottle of "Black Jack" brings back some blurry memories lol.

Seeing him live was the loudest concert I ever attended. Imagine that guitar at 120 decibels.

Appears the lyric vid maker did not know that Grand Dad is a rye-heavy, pretty decent for cheap, bourbon. Also, the entire vibe is that you can drink alone in a crowded bar and that doing so is sadder than drinking all by yourself.

Lonesome George and the Delaware Destroyers rock!

Madison Blues is a MUST reaction for George!!

One of George's best non-drinking songs is "Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job." Hilarious.

I was fresh out the Marines back then and going to the bar and drinking was the thing to do...This is drinking and bar music back in the day!! Especially if you were in a country town....

One of the best opening acts on the concert circuits of the past. They put people right into the mood for a great night.

"Shuffle" is a groove, not a genre. But yes. There, Lex remembered.

My son and I love 'Major Payne' too!..."You plottin on me ass eye's!" 🤣

Now you need to check out who he emulated BO DIDDLEY ! Which when reversed, well you understand, is like a single string instrument that people used to use for self entertainment back in the day for those that couldn't afford guitars ! There's a blues player that I follow on the tube that would amaze you because he plays an electric diddly bo with a slide and man can he make it talk ! He's also electrified a three string garden spade played with a slide. Master finger picker on guitar that plays blues and any and all types of music. His name is Justin Johnson and as much as Lex seems to enjoy blues please give him a listen you won't be disappointed, even for your own enjoyment ! Love you two and reaction videos A LOT !

Ive been to many concerts 79-85 but really Wish I could've saw him live🎸🤟

I love “move it on over” as well as this one.

He loves drinking so much he has a song 'If You Don't Start Drinking (I'm Gonna Leave)'

I have watched a few of your videos, good job, but, I think Lex is likin George Thorogood. That smile and the swinging with the music.. I grew up in the 70s and 80s music so it warms my heart to see folks enjoying that music.

Funny you mentioned how much he likes to drink in actuality he's not a drinker just makes some badass drinking songs

His style is "Blues-Rock". The drinking songs were written for the fans that tended to see him in the 70's and 80's. He claims to be a moderate drinker like most people who indulge. He also reminds people not to drink and drive at his concerts. A music critic once said, "The drunker you are, the better he is", but he does do much more than drinking songs.

I always drink alone when I watch Brad & Lex reactions! Great reaction once again!

Yes this is one of my favorite jams woo love George Thurgood ❤️

George is just straight fun.✌️✌️✌️

Who ever made this missed Old Grandad Whiskey

George Thorogood is the best bar band ever.....

I use to have a souped up 1980 Mercury capri back in the day with Personal License Plates that said Bad To The Bone! Which, I got into several scraps over, lol! George Thorogood is one of a Kind, Love his Music! You guys should React to Jackyl IMO their Best Song "Screwdriver" (I don't think their talking about the Mixed Drink), "When will it rain", "Down on Me", "The Lumberjack" etc. They Rock!

Southern Rock? You guys break these tunes down into so many sub-genres. It's all Rock & Roll baby!

Back in the day....This was called "Honky Tonk" or "Roadhouse" music....and it was GLORIOUS! LOL!

You right Brad. That song makes me wanna drink alone.

this is like the opposite of telling your mate if you keep drinking im leaving..trust me its great :)

My personalized version back in my drinking days was "I crawl home alone. yea-ah, with nobody's help. You know when I crawl home alone, I pass out on my front steeeeps".

That's hardcore blues rock. The sax is COOL. You have to see Clarence "big Man" Clemons with the E Street Band play the sax solo on the Jungleland live video. It's a religious experience.

I'am in love with Lex because she like a ray of sunshine. I love brad too - he's a cool, nice dude.

"Who Do You Love?" And "Gear Jammer" are good ones too!

"The Sky Is Crying" is a song George does that should be looked into someday.

"You Talk Too Much" is another classic.

Brad said Major Payne... 1995. I graduated HS in 1994 and was listening to this song in my car on the way to college. lol Wow, you kids are young.

I saw George in a small venue in Va Beach in the early 80's ...what a blast

Hell Bound Train is a really good song. You really can't go wrong with lonesome George.

Whoever did the lyrics and icons completely and utterly had the song go over his head.

Is it bad that this song is super relatable for me… 😂 because when I drink alone I do prefer to be by myself.

Lex is thinking about the very basic and common blues song structure called Shuffle. ZZ Top was known for using the shuffle method to create some of their most Iconic songs. ZZ Top Commonly used what is known as Shuffle in C which is the Chord/key used to construct many of their songs. This particular Thorogood song was an original from George but the other song that you referenced " One Bourbon , One Scotch , One Beer " was not an original song from George Thorogood. It was a.song originally written by John Lee Hooker and then George just expanded on JLH's original concept. If you listen to the original JLH song " One Bourbon , One Scotch , One Beer " , Its almost nothing like Thorogood's version. Thorogood was born in and Hails from the State of Delaware. His Blues influences were all a sign of the times and like many Blues musicians who began and then continued their careers as Blues Musicians , they were all heavily influenced by Black Blues Musicians since Black Folks are the primary creators of the Blues Genere of music. It was a style of music created by Black folks who were living and working on the Cotton and Tobacco Plantations all over the Southern States. They often created their songs because of the grievances they had pertaining to their mistreatment. They obviously couldn't outright say what they were thinking because they would be beaten , whipped , or even worse ... Hanged for making comments about their mistreatment. So many of the Black folks would create songs with lyrics that heavily criticized their mistreatment and because of their heavy accents mixed with slang words , the Plantation operators in charge of watching the slaves while they worked often couldn't understand what was being said. These Slaves would pass their methods and lyrics on down through the times and " BLUES " music became the original genre of music created by Black Folks who would then pass it along to other musicians into the 1920's and beyond. The music would then be played in Black establishments known as " Juke Joints " ... Many of these Juke Joints were Black owned businesses who catered to Black folks. The style of music had an appeal to many people as the years went on and alot of the " Delta Blues " musicians would eventually make their way to big Cities like NYC and Chicago and names like Muddy Waters , Howlin Wolf and many others became extremely influential musicians when they were recorded by Leonard Chess at the extremely popular " Chess Records ". These musicians who recorded at Chess Records would go on to influence some of the worlds most popular and successful musicians like Eric Clapton , The Rolling Stones , Jimmy Page ( Led Zeppelin ) , The Who and many many more. Like these aforementioned musicians , George Thorogood , was heavily influenced by these Black Blues musicians. These Black Blues Musicians would go on to shape and create thousands of musicians who ended up having extremely successful careers and many White Blues Musicians HAVE ONLY BLACK MUSICIANS to thank for the shaping and creation of their own successful careers. Had Black Folks not endured the horrible treatment of slavery and then created the songs they did to basically blow off steam which then led to the full on creation of Blues music as a Genre ... Blues Musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughn , George Thorogood , Eric Clapton , Jeff Beck , Jimmy Page and many many more would NOT have the extraordinary success they had.

An unsolicited suggestion about another George Thorogood song to review: "Get A Haircut and Get a Real Job" (about 5 minutes). Its a condensed biography of George's life, where his parents are trying to get him to be a conventional person, dress well and get a conventional job. George has his dream of having his own rock and roll band, and so goes his own way. One time, one of he female groupies takes him to her home to meet her parents. They, of course, are appalled at his appearance, and so scream, "Oh my God, get a haircut and get a real job. So, the song goes along for a couple more minutes, then he ends with, "I'm 10 times richer than my Big Brother Bob, but he's got a haircut and he's got a real job. Its a good little song, nothing heavy in it, and I believe you will enjoy it

the offical video is very cool from memory, with a cameo from an old bluesman

Great reactions !! Brad & Lex so nice to see young people that like great music ! And Love each other so much carry on !

Check out his "If You Don't Start Drinking (I'm Gonna Leave)" too it's another great drinking song by lonesome George!!

Thorogood said he isn't more or less of a drinker or deviant than any of the rest of us. Those songs just struck a chord."It's a characterization of the fans not me," Brian Wilson wrote a lot of songs about surfing, but he never surfed in his life. "I Drink Alone" is a comedy song. It's supposed to be funny. People didn't always get it."

You two know he is one greatest cover artist ever, most of the songs he sings are other people songs.

When I seen him in concert he was sober I remembered drinking many beers and buying a shirt that had a dog in a bar! I drink alone

My favorite part of Major Payne was when he fired gun shots into the boys closet and said if he's still in there he ain't happy

For the record, Brad The song that you were trying to remember the title of was, "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"

He went and got sober eventually. The only show I ever saw management actually pull the plug on after 4 and a half hours into a two hour show. Early 80s Corbett Center, NMSU.

HIs music so often has such a great sense of humour, and this is a classic example. I think if you can laugh at a problem, it helps you a lot in solving it.

You guys need to give "Get a Haircut" by George a listen. Great song!

George Thorogood concerts are legendary everyone stands shuffles dances and has a great freaking time

One bourbon,one scotch and one beer was a John Lee Hooker song from the 1950's.George just covered it.

Haven't watched yet but expecting a "but what does it mean?" From Brad when i do

The Godfather of Blues wasn't BB King it was Bo Diddly "I'm a Man" song which was the template of all blues music. Which later was adapted by Rock music. "Bad to the Bone" instrumental was Bo Diddily's Rift from I'm a man but George plays the rift faster. Turning it into another song. Bo Diddly himself said George was the only artist who actually remade his songs instead of trying to copy my songs

If I'm not mistaken this song and One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer were done first by the great John Lee Hooker who Thorogood seems to be a big fan of. He also seems to have been a big influence on ZZ Top. This is Texas Blues/rock.

Man knows the blues

Another great Thoroughgood song about drinking is “ If you don’t start drinking (I’m gonna leave)”

Love this song! Great pick

Back in the day when we would go barhopping we would have George Thorogood playing in the car. He just get you in a fun mood.

We called this genre blues rock basically. ZZ Top falls within it too.

I got me a pet up in my penthouse. An he dont ever bother me. He ain't no poodle no pony , just a little old Wild Turkey.

My Dad is a huge fan of Thorogood, he's not a drinker he just loves raw, loud Rock and Roll music, (he's not a fan of jazz at all, hates jazz, even most modern rock) My Dad, blew one of the channels out of my stereo amp he was playing Thorogood so loud; it was a 200 watt power amp, running 100 watts at 4 ohms per speaker/channel...he gets major points for that!

George was known for his covers, but "I Drink Alone", "Bad to the Bone" and "If you don't Start Drinking (I'm going to Leave)" are just a couple of his originals. "If you don't Start Drinking (I'm going to Leave)" is one of my all time favorites as a song title. 😂

By now you'd think both of them would know what a saxophone sounds like. Gawd

She said, whooooo tell'em

One of our favorites of his is You Talk To Much.

George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. The Worlds Original 5 man Trio.

I find It exciting watching you guys having reactions like I did when I first heard these songs in the '80s keep up the good work. Try listening to George thorogood's reeling in rockin

Lex you are a beautiful soul. Love watching you guys.. hope you have a beautiful day..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸

Nice Major Payne! I watched that movie many times as well. Hilarious 😆

Yes yes Lex it's a halftime shuffle!!

Thank you for sharing this with me

Brad - He really likes alcohol , huh ? HAHA HA , made me laugh

The movie you are referring to is called Christine about a possessed car (1957 Plymouth Fury) which also possesses whoever owns it.

That is definitely saxophone and it's one of my all-time favorite rock sax solos. I put that one above the one in Foreigner's "Urgent." If you listen closely the sax is all through the song.

Great channel ! Thanks Brad and Lex !
