Plantweed :

Shuggie Otis was offered the spot and turned it down (really). Wonder why so many turned it down? Would've loved to hear the negotiations.
Paint it black, you devils!

John A :

Even I was offered the Mick Taylor slot by Keith, but Mick vetoed it.

Barry Obama :

I wish Howie Mandell had joined the Stones

phoondaddy :

Bel Biv DeVoe offered Bivens slot to Thorogood, he turned it down because DeVoe had a big butt and a smile.

Plantweed :

Yeah, he was a natural. The Faces were doing Stones-type stuff anyway. His guitar work in "Stay with Me" sounds just like "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'."

art chantry :

i remember harvey mandel (canned heat) was also a leading contender for the mick taylor slot.
it's fun and difficult to imagine the stones with any of those guys or gals) in it. ronnie wood was already a stone by the time he joined up anyway. why the bother? loyalty to rod stewart?

phoondaddy :

I heard he did "bad things" behind a dumpster at Wrigley Field to get cab fare home.

art chantry :

the stones even tried out ellen macilwaine. try to imagine the stones with ellen macilwaine playing. she was an amazing guitarist, rauchy even. but a lesbian in the stones? go figger.

Rob :

he may have beaten bo didley at pool, but bo go the chicks.

Barry Obama :

he looks like a retard in that hat and mullet.

jkelly :

"This song" was "Bad to the Bone", forgot to clarify that.

2005-09-30 10:45:47

jkelly :

The bartender lady at this gross bar one time, when this song came on, said "ALL RIGHT! George Thouroughbred!" and then started dancing around. I've never been sure of what she meant, like if she really thought that was his name or if that was her pet name for him cuz he looks like a horse or what.

2005-09-30 10:44:46

Barry Obama :

dumbass. he coulda been a zillionaire instead of playing at the Rusty Scupper in Weehauken on Thursday Nights.

2005-09-30 10:44:00

Plantweed :

I've read that about a bunch of guys, including Roy Buchanan.

2005-09-30 10:43:50

art chantry :

i read that stones offered him the gig of replacing mick taylor. but he turned it down.

2005-09-30 10:42:00

Barry Obama :

on the dAY he was born all the nurses gatheree round and said
that is one UGLY fucking baby

2005-09-30 10:41:58

John A :

Wrong. Never mind.

Every song:
E > A > E > G > E

Barry Obama :

he gots a rattlesnake diaper and a rattle made outta HUMAN SKULL

2005-09-30 10:38:30

art chantry :

seems to me that when he was nice to you and not anybody else, you misunderstood he was isolating you because of your behavior.
or is that too complicated for you?

2005-09-30 10:38:18

philaarts.com :

he is a local boy.

2005-09-30 10:37:50

Barry Obama :

hes bad to the boner

2005-09-30 10:37:29

John A :

Are you able to read comprehensively?

2005-09-30 10:37:06

art chantry :

he singled you out to be an ass to? hmmmm.... imagine that.

2005-09-30 10:35:35

John A :

never wanted nothing from him, it was a chance meeting. He was an ass not to me but to others.
GET IT?

2005-09-30 10:33:00

phoondaddy :

George has big John Elway Chiclet teeth.

art chantry :

i think most people in the public eye turn into people who just burn out and want to be left alone by assholes like us who seem to want a piece of them.
we don't like that, like they owe us something. so, we called "doucherockets" and shit like that because it covers up our hurt feelings of being rejected.
did you want to be his friend or something? to sleep with him? you should have left the poor guy alone.

2005-09-30 10:31:36

John A :

I met Thorogood once, he was a major league doucherocket.

2005-09-30 10:27:58

Rob :

i drink alone. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah with nobody else. you know when i drink alone... i prefer to be by myself.

2005-09-30 10:25:19

art chantry :

i just sold my very last copy of this poster to a mad thorogood collector. i figgered it was a good home for it.

2005-09-30 10:24:06

Plantweed :

Yeah, I remember when he opened for The Stones and was thought of as a new hotshot slide player.

2003-12-31 10:39:18

art chantry :

this was about 1980. thorogood was hot as apistol and fresh on the scene back then. in fact this was a punk promoter who put n this show. things change.

Plantweed :

If I never hear Bad to the Bone or I Drink Alone ever again in my life I will be happy.
