Billy Gibbons and ZZ have released awesome music and so has George. Great kick ass stuff, I don't care what the fuck genre it falls under, I have no prejudice against the music if it is good! Some people need to get off their hipster high horses, glam isn't everything though it is alot. Sorry if I offended anybody, don't take it the wrong way. Both Top and Destroyers put out awesome kick ass jams! End of story. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9804 Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:08:47 +0000 RattPoison 9804@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"okay you can beat me up later. sorry I mislabeled their music."<br /><strong>- Syndrome477</strong></p></blockquote> <p>Hope you didn't think I was beating you up <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> I was just joining in on the flow of where the conversation had gone. </p> <p>Going back to your initial post, I agree 100% with you, George Thorogood is one helluva guitar player! I've seen (and enjoyed) some of his performances on tv over the years ( decades, actually). He gives 110%, sweating like a boxer, working that slide. Blue collar rock at it's finest! <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9654 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:03:07 +0000 admin 9654@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>OK folks, the southern rock thing has been done to death. Let's get back on the subject of the choices otherwise this thread is going to get closed. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9637 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:45:31 +0000 Syndrome477 9637@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>okay you can beat me up later. sorry I mislabeled their music. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9635 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:43:40 +0000 RattPoison 9635@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I also consider both bands as rock/blues. I really don't consider either one a "southern rock" band. Besides, George Thorogood &#38; The Delaware Destroyers are, well, from Delaware <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9603 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:45:59 +0000 Syndrome477 9603@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I think he considers himself a blues guy too. I don't know. It's rock either way with ZZ Top. Lonesome George just has an edge...Lynyrd Skynyrd was the best. Ronnie Van Zant worked the stage. Barefoot. Loved it. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9330 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:22:24 +0000 LEATHUR 9330@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I consider Thorogood to be a blues man....never really thought of him as a southern rocker.I don't personally think of "rock" when I think of him.</p> <p> What do I know.He's alright.Not much in the way if image tho.And I don't care for the cigar sticking out of his mouth. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9106 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:52:08 +0000 carroll13 9106@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Yeah, I usually think of Skynyrd, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Alabama, but I can see how ZZ and GT fit.</p> <p>But if one got really anal about geography and music, REM, the B-52s, DRI, Ministry, and the Butthole Surfers should be in there too, since they're all rock bands from the South.<br /> Well, ok, actually I've been told that Texas isn't technically "The South"...but it's further South than I am.<br /> ...and Ministry moved to Texas from Chicago, so they're not even "from" Texas...<br /> ...damn beer, I'm really overthinking this..</p> <p>But hey, really, all the original rock bands were from the South, so in a way "Southern Rock" is a redundancy! <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9101 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:40:15 +0000 motleyguy 9101@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I voted for George.</p> <p>He ain't exactly top of my mind when someone asks me to name a good guitar player but I did see him live in 1982 and he did put in a great show.</p> <p>By the way, when someone says Southern Rock, Lynrd Skynrd (or however the hell you spell it) comes to mind but never George or ZZ Top? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9098 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 07:46:20 +0000 carroll13 9098@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I couldn't give a rat's ass about "southern Rock", but I like more ZZTop than Thorogood. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/george-thorogood#post-9010 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 16:59:09 +0000 Syndrome477 9010@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>not glam, but ya gotta agree with me when I say the man can certainly handle a guitar! What are your thoughts on this...everyone? </p>
