I was 16 when 500 pounds came out, I was too young to get into Barrymore’s when you played there but we went anyway and sat on the curb outside. You played so gloriously loud we heard every note. I’ve since seen you countless times but it was that night that I’ll never forget. Thank you for sharing your art with us all. Much love GJ ✌️
Two things: 1. You got that Charlie Watt's hi hat thing going on (not hitting the HH the same time as the snare), 2. Those Vistalites rule. Play on, player.
Awesome! One of the things I admire about you Gordie is that you’re always reworking your songs. So many musicians get hung up on just playing it like on the record, but you let the songs breathe free and grow!
GJ, been a fan since this came out. You are the reason I have a herzog, and gobbs of vintage traynor amps. You sound unbelievable still. Voice is great! Keep inspiring brother!
This is so fun. I'm a big fan, who is *not* a musician, but I do know gear, so I love the stories and descriptions about how you get sound. I share your videos with my musician friends.
I’m glad to hear you mention Billy Gibbons; I hadn’t heard you drop his name before, was almost going to ask. You two seem to be cut from the same cloth. Huge fan of both bands.
THAT was the first song I learned beginning to end (my family was happy lol)...after my mind was blown wide open at the Commodore all those years ago. GJ explained how KISS blew his mind....Big Sugar that evening steered my musical journey along with their generosity always autographing stuff. Thanks again for this Friday ritual:))))))
Oh, BABY! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I love all these remixes. Can we get Motherless Children, or maybe Devil Got My Woman, or a heavy, fuzzed out version of Come Back Baby? ;)
Hello from Winnipeg. Any idea if I you (or anyone at Power 97) still have the Studio 97 version laying around? You played a Mandolin or Ukulele (I think?) and did a bunch of songs.
One pound Hammer was the album I put in anyone’s car in Cairo Egypt and wait till they say what the fuck is that ???? Then I say it’s big sugar baby , all respect to you and you really changed my life as guitar player years later moved to London with music in my heart thank you 🙏 Please shed some light on AAA ardvark hotel
Do you have trouble adjust from playing one of your explorers or that big ol' guild when you switch to an SG? I always find my SG feels like a toy after I've been on my other guitars... SG sure do scream though!
I play SO many different instruments that I don’t really notice. In one day I’ll play drums, bass, steel guitar, Trés, banjo, a Flying V and a Strat. Then do some keyboard overdubs😂
The song that got me into Big Sugar. Watching Much Music after school and the video came on, hooked ever since.
True...first i saw was Sleep in Late....i was in till now...at 48!
Me too.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Saw Big Sugar in Thunder Bay, ON a few years ago…very loud and very good performance. 🤩

Me too , 16 turning 17.
How did I not know that Gordie played drums... Killer version of this tune! How does the man get this tone
Awesome!! Said it before... so glad the OG Big Sugar is back on the radar.... It's the reason I bought an ES335 and a les paul........
Always has been, always will be my favourite Big Sugar song. Thanks!
For a hard rockin' dude you have barely aged at all man. Road miles are hard miles. You still got your vocal chops. Prime genetics.
I listen to you for 30 years and never knew how awesome you are. Love the new insight on Big Sugar
I jam on this song with anyone who will play it with me. And I play this riff as a warm up. Absolute classic.
Nice tip of the hat to Charlie on the drums GJ.
Wicked playing, tones, instruments, jam space…..Canadian treasure🤟🏻🤟🏻

So glad I was able to see you guys again this past December in Ottawa
You used my photo!!! (1:50) Thanks! Keep up these great videos!
Awesome! One of the things I admire about you Gordie is that you’re always reworking your songs. So many musicians get hung up on just playing it like on the record, but you let the songs breathe free and grow!
My favorite Big Sugar tune.
Just amazing! I had to play Five Hundred Pounds after watching this. Well done, GJ!
Amassing, loved the guitar tone on this one !

You rock Gordy....ty for these vids...luv the music n what your doing!!!
Wow! I love it!
Another tremendous song! Both Big Sugar and Grady versions are worthy of accolades!! Please keep 'em coming!!!
The kids still got it! Awesome🔥
I’m glad to hear you mention Billy Gibbons; I hadn’t heard you drop his name before, was almost going to ask. You two seem to be cut from the same cloth. Huge fan of both bands.
I really love this tune. Cheers!
Nice work brother!
Classic,,,,,,ride like hell brother 😎
Great stuff GJ! Great video editing and I love the sound. You look like your having a blast haha. Cheers from Ottawa!

That drummer sure kickin` some ass!! Whoever he is...

@@scottsevertson1803 Ya think?🤪
I got to drink some Whiskey with you at your cousin Hollys wedding many years ago in Edmonton…Still one of the highlights of my youth!
KickaSSS!
Great song,RIP woody
Totally cool. I want a sound shack. Not sure my neighbours would care for it but so what?
The. Best. Tone. Ever.
Oh, BABY! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I love all these remixes. Can we get Motherless Children, or maybe Devil Got My Woman, or a heavy, fuzzed out version of Come Back Baby? ;)
The song that was a sign for me to really take up the guitar hard in 1993. 27 years listening to this song and it never gets old.

Not that we know of.

Just the way Woody would have loved it. LOUD.
That was decent!
This song is better than Lucas octane booster in making your car drive faster 🚗 💨👍🎸

Wow Cloning does work, but 3 times as much practice!😁😁
Gordie are you playing your drums hi-hat just like Charlie Watts ?
👆😎💨
GJ for Prime Minister!!!
You and your drummer share an uncanny resemblance. Of course, he is a bit shorter
