What Chuck Berry has to do with “Back to the Future”
With “Johnny B. Goode” Chuck Berry revolutionized the rock’n’roll in 1958. But it could have happened three years before: in 1955 Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) traveled for “Back to the Future” in the past and covered the hit.
At a prom demonstrates, hobby guitarist MC Fly demonstrates how rocky and at the same time rhythmically music can be. In the end, Marty almost dismantled the hall with the Chuck Berry classic, which no one could know at the time.
All marvel at it with open mouths. A nice tribute to Chuck Berry, who would have turned 96 on October 18.
The big chuck Berry is dead. Rolling Stone chose the musician in seventh place on the “100 best guitarists of all time.”
For our ranking, Keith Richards wrote a praise on his colleague. The Rolling-Stones guitarist describes Berry’s magic.
“When I saw Chuck Berry as a teenager in the documentary” Jazz on a Summer’s Day “, I was deeply impressed how he was standing up to the jazzers. It was brilliant boys – Jo Jones on drums, Jack Teaft on the trombone – but they had these snobbish streak, who like to let jazz hang out: “Oh, this strange rock’n’roll …” But then Chuck played “Sweet Little Sixteen” and took them all in the storm. For me that was blues, that was the attitude and the chuzpp that you need. And that’s exactly what I wanted to be – with the small difference that I was white. I got every lick on it that he played.
Chuck had learned his things from T-Bone Walker, I learned her from Chuck, Muddy Waters, Elmore James and BB King. We are all part of a family that has been around for thousands of years. We only pass the staff on. Chuck played a high -term version of the Chicago Blues, which everyone played at the time, but he went one step further. He was a little younger than the other blues people, and his songs were also more commercial without being pop-and that is a delicate tightrope walk.
Chuck just had swing. Sure, he had the skirt, but he also had the roll – and that was the difference. And Chuck had an incredible band in these early recordings: Willie Dixon on the bass, Johnnie Johnson on the piano, Ebby Hardy or Freddy Below on drums. They understood what he wanted to do and swing. It couldn’t be better anymore. Born: 1926 guitars: Gibson ES-350T, Gibson ES-355.
