Stone Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Probably about twenty/twenty-one in that clip. Moon might be in his teens: what a prodigy. Rock stars, like physicists, tend to do their best work before age 25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

monkeymay Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 And maybe it's just me, but the riff from makes all immediately known. Plus, there's a bonus guitar solo right up front there as well, for some reason. I would add "Lust for Life" opening if only well recognized as the Carnival Cruises theme song...Iggy I hope the drugs you scored for that sellout were really really good. Priscilla and Ivan - Greetings! Lovely to see you around again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like to mull whether it's an attempt at superdoublepsycheout... not that it works, and it is equally possible that it is just more-of-the-same clueless song placement, but what if there was a little element of trying to subconsciously make that cruise appealing to those who might actually recognize a song by the Ig? WHAT IF??? Ig, his peanut butter, his shards of glass... maybe it's all in there!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Chuck Berry is a difficult case. The guitar figure which opens "Johnny B. Goode" (and, with minor variation many other songs, is as distinctive a calling card as any in music). But it is not the riff. Many of Chuck Berry's up-tempo songs have a very similar riff: a guitar player can give better details, but there are two basic chord positions, the change being made by a very simple movement of the small finger. This Chuck Berry choogle is a foundation stone of modern music, but in his own work it isn't a distinctive opening riff. If you want to hear it - or a near relative - used as a stirring opening riff, click on (and I don't mean the wah-wah). They call it Nutbush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Iggy - and/or his guitarists. So many possibilities it's hard to pick one (was "The Passenger" posted earlier?). This sums it all up, though. There are many lousy versions on You Tube, but if that's Glen Matlock I see in the shadows, this is the touring band Iggy put together on the back of his late-seventies surge in UK popularity thanks to punk. lay right down If the riff does nothing for you, the lyric...kinda lingers.

I've said it before. Chuck Berry's only got one song but he's got it down cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 As I'm sure you'll agree, the corollary is that every young rock band in the States and Europe then proceeded to get it down cold too. That's his simply but staggering musical contribution; although his lyrics will do more to secure his reputation. (A game I used to play: splitting the original beat bands into those who followed Chuck Berry and those who followed Bo Diddley. Column one, Beatles, Stones, check. Column two, the Pretty Things, the Animals...er...just as well the Animals had some blues ballads up their tight little sleeves.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ivan Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So why this paradox: gorge rises when listening to CB, but most, maybe all favorite bands are in column 1; BD sounds great, but no fav bands in column 2? Ok, I know why: Bo Diddley was already awesome. CB -- not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
